The smallest tasks and im panting. I know im pregnant and this is normal, not that I had this with my last pregnancy, is it worth a call to triage I dont want to waste their time but im struggling

You should call if you're having problems. Even if you're overreacting it's better to know than be facing a medical issue that might affect the baby

It can be normal, but also not.
As a person who has many, many, many friends and family in midwifery/obgyn fields there is no ‘wasting their time’

Please at least call up and tell them even if it is just to update them of your current condition.

Don’t want to scare but many babies have had worse outcomes due to being worried about wasting time.

40 weeks +6!

Who is still waiting for their July baby to arrive? I have an induction booked for Monday (which I was really hoping to avoid as I've heard horror stories. If anyone has positive ones, please let me know!🤞) I know there is still time, have done all the classic midwives recommendations/old wife tales etc and nothing has worked! 😂 Hoping baby boy arrives soon!🩵 Just wondering if anyone is in the same boat? How you feeling? X

Lost confidence in pregnancy.

I posted a pic of myself (26 weeks pregnant) after having my hair and eyebrows done and new comfies to try and make myself feel better, help with my confidence about gaining weight in my pregnancy. (6 miscarriages and 1 toddler and one on the way in the past 2 and a half year has completely changed my body and confidence)

A friend laughed at my photo and said how big I was and its just knocked me a bit. I'm Supposed to be going out with a different group of my partners friends for their birthday next week and I dont feel like I have the confidence to go anymore.

Probably just hormones but just needed a space to vent

When to be ready for?!

31 weeks tomorrow and wondering when is everyone putting up the big things like next to me crib and I ram etc. This is my third baby and my last one came spontaneously at 36+6 so want to be prepared for an earlier arrival but don’t want the stuff sat around the house for weeks for no reason 😩

Related pregnancy

I’m 33 weeks pregnant and experiencing severe itching all over my body. The itching makes me scratch a lot, and now I have brown pigmented spots where I’ve scratched. I’m really stressed and worried about whether these marks will go away. Has anyone else experienced this during pregnancy?
