PREGNANT WOMEN DON’T COMPLAIN ENOUGH

It’s 3:40am. I am lying in bed unable to sleep. So uncomfortable, congested, hot, need a wee every 5 minutes etc etc. I just can’t help but feel completely enraged that nobody warned me how hard pregnancy is. I can’t help but feel like women have been programmed not to talk about this/complain/warn other women to make life more enjoyable for men. It should be a WHOLE thing. There should be more support available for us. This whole experience is so isolating and frustrating. I feel like writing a book/making a documentary to warn/prepare women 😂 Excuse this breakdown - not being able to sleep makes me emotional. But is it just me? I can’t stand being pregnant and I want to shout it from the rooftops!!!! 📣

Baby Girl due soon!

We are due our first girl this month and still don’t have a name! We have two boys- Harrison and Louis. We can’t have any flower names because of our surname. Please hit me with suggestions!!!

TMI After Baby no.2

This is embarrassing but have any other mammas after 2nd baby had anything similar to this?

Basically since having my second baby I cannot wear any light coloured underwear because I end up with 💩 stains on them. Even if I’ve not gone no.2 that day or whether I’ve thoroughly wiped after it seems like no matter what I do I end up with small stains on my undies. It’s not like I’ve pooped myself or anything but it’s as if I’ve not wiped properly even when I know I have/ haven’t even pooped.

This has never happened to me before and it’s so embarrassing trying to be intimate or feel comfortable in myself.

Should I maybe go to Drs?

I’m 8 months pp and it’s been happening since I gave birth for reference.

Natural!!

39 weeks tomorrow and i really wanna go into labour naturally without being induced!!! They say the pain is twice as much as naturally going into birth :(

Pushing with epidural

I’m considering if I will have or not an epidural in my labour, but I’ve heard so many mixed info of pushing phase with it. Could those who had an epidural during labour tell me how it went? Even if your epidural was running out or given just before pushing.

TIA

C section preparation

Hi all, I’m now 41 weeks and baby girl is being stubborn and not showing any signs of coming yet. I have refused an induction as I just can’t get on board with it but now have a C section as my plan B! However I have spent my whole pregnancy not thinking about going through this so wondering if there’s anything essential you would recommend to have prepared / or any advice if I end up getting one 🙏🏽

Induction Stories (POSITIVE ONLY)

I am getting induced next week at 39+4 weeks. I am very scared going into it and people have been so negative and mean towards me about it. I would like to hear anyone’s positive stories that have been induced. Tips on how to prepare would be great as well!
