Bub maternity pillow

Hey mums and mums to be!
I am struggling to choose butterfly pillow. Does it make a big difference buying with actual brands or from Amazon? I am not satisfied with those in Amazon, none of them has a great review. Thickness and quality is the worry. Has anyone bought bub maternity butterfly pillow and happy? Or any other legit brands?

Thanks ❤️

Breathlessness worth a triage call?

Im 31 weeks today have been getting out of breath for a good few weeks now. Today though I was at work today really struggling to breathe to the point it made me cry a little. 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

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?

Birth prep

Second baby and I have done nothing to prepare for birth mainly just because of running around after my toddler but as the date gets closer I’m worrying as I feel like I should be doing more. What are we all doing to prepare? Tips and tricks welcome! Also worrying as it’ll be my first time leaving my toddler for long and presumably overnight :(

Triage pointless ?

Hi all I moved my maternity care from Broomfield to Colchester as I’d heard nothing but good things about the care and delivery care here. However, I fear I’ve made the wrong decision…I called triage a few weeks ago as I’m pretty sure I’d gotten food poisoning i hadn’t kept food or drink down for over 48 hours and I was told to just go to A&E for fluids no wanting to check baby or anything. So you can imagine I haven’t wanted to call them again due to feeling quite fobed off. Well this past week I’ve had headaches and my right foot keeps swelling I kept ignoring it for 4 days however today it was staying indented when I pushed on the skin. My mum has a history of preeclampsia and my mother in law had the same symptoms in her pregnancy and ended up having a blood clot so they both urged me to go to triage. I listened and straight away the midwife/nurse was very abrupt and dismissive tried saying I defiantly can’t possibly have preeclampsia as my blood pressure is fine and my headaches wouldn’t indicate that either (my mum who had preeclampsia only got checked for it because of her headaches) and then she tried saying the swelling is probably where I’m not drinking enough (I am) and that doesn’t explain one foot swelling. But she went “could be a blood clot I’ll send for some bloods but I think it’s nothing” at this rate I’m ready to just go home I’ve documented the swelling and I’m going to take the lady’s name. Has anyone else experienced this treatment !? Broomfield triage was a lot nicer and wasn’t dismissive at all.
