Struggling at work

Is anyone else really struggling at work?

I work in an office job. I work from home a couple of days and from the office a couple of days but I just find in teams meetings I am really uncomfortable. I can’t concentrate on them. I can’t sit comfortably on my chair and listen to the conversation and I can’t properly input the meetings and then when I do I just get rid of hot and go red and then feel really embarrassed about it as well.

I’m only 28 weeks so we’ve got another 10 weeks to go before I finish and I just don’t know how I’ll manage that.

anyone else being in a similar situation?

Omg yes! I can't concentrate, feel constantly tired and exhausted. I'm struggling a lot with work right now. Can't stay sitted for long and when I lay down just for 5 min to feel better just get super sleepy. I have been taking the vitamins I'm supposed to and sleeping at night too. Not sure what's going on here but I'm concerned

Could you not request a DSE assessment to get a more comfortable chair to help for home? I'd also see if you can get a talk-to-text program so you can refer back to notes.

5 weeks since c section - belly image

I hate how big my belly still is, from the belly button down it is so wobbly, bloated and big..I didn’t have this with my first c section but second time round I’m left with this huge belly. I can’t fit it any of my clothes and feel so fat and thrumpy.

How can I get rid of it ??

Pre pregnancy weight was 14st 10lb, I went to 17st 3lb and am now 15st 8lb, so I’ve lost some but got more to go. I also have lymphodema so my feet and legs swell bad. Someone told me to get a belly band for my belly however I’ve read good and bad.

I saw a GP yesterday who said from my belly button under it’s all still very tender and I’ve been sent for a scan due to severe pain I’ve got on my right side. On my notes she said the scar was ‘healing well’ so can I do massages around it yet or no?

Lots of movement

Does lots of movement mean anything at all? At least in some of your experiences.
I know they used to say it could be a cause for concern but now they say it’s not a cause for concern unless paired with other worrying things. So I’m not worried about anything.
Just curious if anyone’s baby has suddenly started boogying almost 24/7 suddenly and anything has come about like waters breaking or labour?

This girl had me worried the other day when she stopped moving a bit and now she won’t stop! I’m talking every hour for at least 20-30 minutes she’s rolling and kicking and shoving her head so far down it feels like she’s trying to get out! 🙈😂

Am I crazy?

So I’m currently 9w+6 with my third, and today I went in for my first scan. I should note I’ve never been to this ob before due to my previous ob’s practice closing. I was horrified. My appointment was at 1:15 and I didn’t get called back until 1:55. Then the ob I was scheduled to see was too busy and they sent in a midwife. Then instead of doing an internal ultrasound like I’ve gotten done my previous two pregnancies they did an external one just on the belly despite the fact they asked me to get naked from the waist down. I even asked if the image would be more clear with an internal ultrasound and she goes “yeah probably”. They also only looked at the baby from one angle, and I’m freaking out because there looks like there could be another sac underneath the sac pictured. I’ve never had an ultrasound look like this. It could just be that their machine is old, but still. Does anyone else see what I’m seeing or am I just being crazy?

4d scan with anterior placenta.

Had our 4d scan and I can’t cope with the pictures we got this time 🥺 this is baby number 3 (surprise gender) and the best pictures we have had so far with all my pregnancies.

Still find it absolutely crazy that there’s a whole little person inside me 🥹
