Get the Shark Chillpill! I haven't tried, but I've heard good things about it

Cold towel on back of neck or even better an ice pack. Or cold pack on top the chest just below the collar bone. I also had a little neck fan. I also got some rose water to mist my face to help not feel so gross.

I am just living with an ice pack on the back of my neck and bought a bunch of the instant ice packs for when I am not at home. Sadly don't have much more advice other than that, but you're definitely not alone!

Breathable clothes made of natural fibers, light bedding like quilts, hair up if it’s long or chop it off, and lots of fans on all the time.

Been there! Feel your pain...
What helped me was soaking my feet at the end of each day. Make water cold/luke warm only. Plus, add a bit of sea salt. It also helps with feet swelling if you've got that too.

My first was born in September, so I was in my 3rd trimester for the whole summer 😭 it was awful. I wore the absolute breeziest clothes I could find. I 100% recommend super loose lightweight dresses in really breathable fabtic. The airflow is life changing.
Boob towels that tuck under your bra to soak up sweat, equally life changing lol
I got stick-on cold packs made for kids with fevers, and stuck one on the back of my neck when possible.
Always kept a portable fan on me. Bonus points for one that mists.
Drank tooooons of water (and had to pee every 5 min lol)
I chopped all my hair off bc sensory issues lol, but keeping it up out of your face & off your neck would work for most people

Anxiety in the second trimester

Hey all! I’m in my 2nd Trimester now (16 weeks) and am really struggling with anxiety about almost everything! First off it was to do with the aches and pains i’ve been getting (now i know these are ligament pain) but this still doesn’t stop me worrying. now i’ve woken up this morning and compared my bump to 14 weeks and it appears smaller? I probably sound like i’m being silly but I just wondered if anyone had dealt with anxiety and how they overcome it? I can’t/ won’t get scans every week because this will just feed into my anxiety.

2 under 2!

I’m absolutely terrified to become a mom of 2 under 2 my baby will only be roughly 14 months when my next baby is here. How can I make the transition easier for my girl? I will also be having a repeat c section due to already having a uterine window and only 24 weeks. Any mamas who share similar experiences what should I expect and dos and don’t. I want all the good and bad!!

Any help x

Hey. Feeling sad today. Half way through the year and still not pregnant! Trying to not get too down but it feels hard today. Lots of friends’ pregnancy announcements today too. I am lucky enough to have a 3 year old. So grateful for him but feels tough still. I wish i just was content with the one i have already. Does anyone feel content and happy with their one? Or even, if anyone feels happy and content on the same trying to concieve journey? Any words of comfort? Really struggling today. 34 year old female on the edge here. I often get worried about the pressure of not getting any younger/ age too ! X
