Struggling bad!

Anyone else pregnant with a toddler?! How are you doing? I am not ok! I’m 37 weeks, my back is in agony and running around after a toddler is breaking me. I don’t know how to keep her entertained for the last few weeks.

Yes! Twin pregnancy and just turned 4 year old who is VERY active. It’s been sooo hard. Sticker books, Tonie box and reading the book alongside it, crayola mess free colouring, a few new toys / presents, sandpit for the garden, tuff tray messy play outside or on a cheap shower curtain have been my saviours. We don’t really do screen time but I’ve tried to use that however, she has no interest so that’s not been helpful🤦🏼‍♀️. Xx

38 weeks pregnant with a 4 (nearly 5) year old and a 3 year old,so I feel you! Just here to say you're not alone in feeling like this.

Due on Wednesday and have a 17 month old at home. I'm also on crutches as baby is laying on a nerve on my leg and I can't walk - crutches are helpful but breaking the rest of my body

I'm exhausted in constant pain and just wanting baby out, but also scared of the realities of that too!

Wishaw hospital

So we’ve been told by our midwife if you get to Wishaw after 9pm to go to the maternity entrance, which is fine, but if you arrive before 9pm to go to “triage”. Where is triage?! Do you go in the main entrance at the front then up to where the scans are? Just trying to be prepared 😅

Back pain?

I am 4 months postpartum from my first c-section and my back has been hurting so bad. It right where my epidural and spinal is. It feels like a ball and hurts when I lay flat. Or stand and sit or so long. Has anyone else felt like this is it normal or do I need to get medical help?

C section

I’m potentially going to be having a C section. However, I’ve got a huge needle phobia and absolutely petrified of the thought of a C section.
I’ve had very mixed comments from people, about what the experience and recovery is like.
Is it as bad as I’m letting myself believe?
