My health is tanking

Baby is 34 weeks today, and I feel like I’m about to die. I can’t eat anything, or heartburn feels like it’s clawing my chest out. I can’t sleep because of heartburn and constant Braxton Hicks. It feels like my belly is always hard, always hurting. I’ve been getting so little sleep the past few weeks I easily fall asleep just sitting up. I can’t stand! Like, not more than a few seconds. My legs gave out yesterday while I was just trying to prep lunch. I think I’m going to die! How can I last three more weeks?

Pregnancy sucks, but respectfully I think you to prioritize your own health more. Braxton hicks shouldn’t keep you awake. Are you drinking enough water? If your legs are weak are you eating and drinking enough or was it due to sciatica pain? What are you taking for the heartburn? I take Prilosec and Pepcid because just Pepcid wasn’t cutting it. I think you should really make it clear to your provider how much these symptoms are affecting you. There is things that can help

Re-ultrasound

Did anyone attend their 20 week scan and end up going for a second scan? I’ve been send to the maternity day assessment unit for a 2nd scan 3 weeks after my original they told me everything was fine just to re check his heart as he was in an awkward position. Has anyone else had a similar experience?

What percentile would this be (red dot)? Can't remember how to read the chart lol

Is anyone good with growth charts and can tell me what percentile I am measuring at? This was 28+2 weeks, and the midwife never told me, it's not mentioned in my notes like last pregnancy and I don't use AI lol

5 Months PP- How to Rid of Shelf?

Hello, hello!
I'm 5 months post-partum and have not been doing any of my usual pre-pregnancy workouts. I used to do calorie deficit and weight train, but since I pump and breastfeed, I can't do the calorie deficit without dipping my milk supply and I don't feel ready to weight train because just lifting a tote box for moving had me feeling sore inside the section. But ya'll!! Are there other ways to get rid of that shelf on top of the scar? I've always had a little pooch to begin with but after the C Section it has been more prominent. Let me know what regimen helped you.
*This should go without saying but please be kind in the comments* Thank you 😊

Increased discharge

I’m 33+2 and have noticed increased discharge the last couple of days.

This morning on school run I felt lots of dampness in my underwear, to the point that the skin between the top of my thighs felt damp!

I’m sure it’s discharge as it doesn’t smell like amniotic fluid and I haven’t had any more ‘gushes’ in the 2 hours since.

Has anyone else had this?

C section on hairline

I just had a look at my C Section scar in the mirror for the first time (yes I was scared out my mind) the scar is right at my hairline. That means I have to shave right on top of the scar. Anyone else? :-(
