Calf muscle issues Charlie horse

Oh my God the pain in the calf muscle every morning after pulling my muscle. It is so so so painful. Any tips on how to avoid this? I had electrolytes yesterday as well as extra water but nothing seems to be helping.

Opinions

Is it just me or is it really weird for women who haven’t had children yet to talk down on women who have or to even talk down on women who aspire to have children??🤔 Like for them to comment on what should or shouldn’t be done during pregnancy or to comment on the limitations of pregnancy

How and when did you announce your pregnancy?

I’m looking for advice and experiences about announcing a pregnancy. When did you decide to share your news and how did you do it? Did you have any tips for telling family, friends?

I’ve heard some horror stories of people sharing after the 12 week scan at 15 weeks and then suffering loss which has really scared me. I’m unsure which avenue to take. Of course - understand it’s all personal preference.

Also to note - I’m getting married in 2 weeks and will be around 8 weeks pregnant and having the early scan 2 days before the wedding. My husband to be was hoping to announce it at our wedding as part of his speech - it’s our first baby.

2 days PP pain and sleep

I had my planned section on Tuesday lunchtime and I'm just taken aback by how painful it is to just move generally, particularly cannot find a comfy sleep position now I'm at home. Does anyone have any tips for managing pain and movement?

Fourth of July fireworks

First time mum here!
I’m a little worried the fireworks will wake up or scare my LO. He’s 5m old, any tips? I do have a white noise machine but we keep it on a low level, should I turn it up just for the night? Is there anything else I can do ☺️

TMI buttttt

So my due date is still about 20 days away but I have been having the absolute most amount of discharge like I keep thinking my water is just like leaking instead of fully broken it’s getting kinda crazy. My water never broke with my first they had to break it at the hospital cuz she was really trying to be born still inside it lol so I’m not even sure what it actually feels like
