So f*cking stressed

This week has just been an absolute shitshow. I had a doctors appointment because I’m worried about my health (headaches daily, migraines weekly, unexplained muscle strains and pains and I’m bruising extremely frequently without any injury) and the doctor giggled throughout my whole appointment and said she doesn’t think anything is wrong but they’ll test my bloods in a months time!! I was literally in tears when she poked at my ribs to assess the pain I have in them, I told her it’s interfering in my daily life, I don’t have the energy to workout anymore which I used to do daily, I’m wearing sunglasses inside for the headaches… how the hell can they just brush this off. And if all that isn’t bad enough UC closed my claim and haven’t paid me this month because I couldn’t get on my account to accept commitments from last month even though I called them in MARCH and explained that I wasn’t receiving their log in codes on my phone number so I can’t access my account. My partner had surgery on his leg in April and had to have a month off which has resulted in our pay being significantly cut so we were relying on this UC money. I asked them to refute the closure of the claim and I was basically told it was my fault because the commitments had been there for a month and it doesn’t matter that I told someone I couldn’t access my account.

It feels like everyone I speak to for help screws me over or just treats me like a joke and I’m so fed up of it. Doctors, GP receptionist, DWP employees, all of them I’ve ever spoke to have been nothing but rude. It took a lot for me to get the courage to go to the doctor after which a bad experience when I was pregnant with my boys and to just be giggled at the whole time and told nothings wrong when I know myself this is not how I should feel has just blown my top.

Just needed a big fat rant, fed up of some of this adulting crap 😂

Does anyone know how palliative care works?

Do you get overnight carers?
What exactly is the story support you can get? How would I know if someone needs palliative care?

Baby bumps!!

Hiya! I’m almost 23 weeks now and recently started to have a more prominent bump. I’ve struggled with body issues my whole life and this big change is making me super insecure, does anybody else feel like this? How do I learn to love my changing body? 🤍

Pregnant seven weeks two days according to last menstrual period but only measuring five weeks six days

Two weeks ago I went in for an ultrasound and at that time I was supposed to be five weeks and two days, but I was measuring at four weeks and six days and they could not see a fetal pole. I went back today and I am supposed to be seven weeks two days, but I’m only measuring at five weeks six days and there was no heartbeat. There was a fetal pole this time, but I am concerned because there’s no heartbeat and because two weeks ago, I was measuring at four weeks six days and now I’m only measuring at five weeks six days. I go back in 10
days for an ultrasound, but I am pretty anxious about all of this. Has anybody been through something similar?

Pregnancy symptom names

I’m 35 weeks and I feel like my water is boutta break when I pee from the weird pain in my pelvis when I pee. I look it up to make sure it’s normal and Google tells me I have lightening crotch… bitch… ik damn well yall didn’t name ts lightening crotch… I didn’t have this my last pregnancy as my daughter was smaller because I couldn’t keep food down for most of pregnancy. So I look it up and that’s what Google has to say? It couldn’t be something a lil more flattering?! Pelvic pressure pain (ppp)? Pelvic dysfunction? Anything. Like don’t do me like that. Now I’m tryna explain to my fiancé that it’s not my puss being on fire or dangerous it’s just the pressure difference from releasing pee…
