Anyone else feel guilty for resting?
I’m 33 weeks tomorrow and I feel bad that some days I just want to be left alone and veg on the sofa! Does anyone else feel the same way? My boyfriend is super active and never sits down. When he makes a joke that I’m sitting around, I just get emotional about it. I just cry! 😅 And then I feel stupid for crying! It’s like a continuous cycle. But when I am on my feet all day, I get horrid pelvic pain, leg and bum pain. I just try to make myself move! I’m just finding it difficult to be kind to myself. Some days are worse than others I suppose.

Im finding resting hard like I am resting a lot but I'm used to being super active like half day walks and can barely do an hour now so hard I go back to work after the half term next week and now I'll be up to nothing after a full day of work
If you've been working all day night is for rest I would say rest as much as you can but move even if it's 15-20 mins just so your blood flows ect
Yes! I hate sitting down all the time, but if I'm on my feet for too long my hips or my back ache. So frustrating 😫
I get that too I'm trying to split up my day so rest in a morning short walk rest till dinner do a house job rest till tea time bigger walk rest just split up your day makes you feel better x
Remind your boyfriend that you are growing a human and isn’t easy otherwise man would having babies instead. I’m feeling down as I don’t how rest which I know sounds stupid
Yes I feel same , moving is hard and painful also started having pelvic pains , back pains one pain , restless legs , cramps and so on . I have been planning to go to the shop since this morning and I am still on the sofa 🤦♀️ I feel so guilty and bad about it but really can’t force my self or motivated . U not alone girl . I think we all feel similar or same . Rest and don’t listen to ur bf . My ex used to be horrible about my first pregnancy and called me lazy bitch and I should get up and clean toilet , luckily he is my ex and luckily I am with new guy who doesn’t say that sending hugs mama xx
I rest during work time! It’s the area of my life that has really taken the hit I just cba. Another 6 weeks til I’m on leave. I am fortunate to work from home though so I’m Mormon my feet and I’m not commuting. Prioritising gentle exercise (just short walks and the odd yoga class or swim) but every single woman has given me the advice “get some rest”. What does he know!
I dnt feel guilty if anything I feel frustrated!
Tired of laying on my side just want to lay on my tummy and even when resting she's so active I'm not actually sleeping! And if she's finally chilling I then end up needing to pee or my hips gone dead for laying on my side constantly 😂

Is my daughters name to unique?
I had my daughter a 8 months ago, I told my husband that always had a baby girl named picked out since I was about 13 years old. And he was OK with it. He just changed the spelling which I’m not a huge fan but I still love her name.
Her first name is Sunni middle name Ella Rae. I don’t really love the Ella part or how Sunni is spelled I think it should be spelled as Sunnie so it makes more sense. A few people have commented on it, aka my mother-in-law to be specific. Did I choose a real name for my daughter?

Should I be worried?
I got into a car accident two days ago. I got abdominal pain couple hours after, so I went to the hospital, they checked me over and said everything seemed fine. I’ve had no bleeding and no pain since. However I have no pregnancy symptoms anymore. I’m 12 weeks and have another scan booked in for tomorrow. Am I over thinking this or can this be normal for how far along I am now ??!

Induction
Hey, I am being induced closer to my due date and the consultant has mentioned using the balloon for induction. I had a pessary when induced with my second.
Anyone had both methods and can tell me how different those labours were or wasn’t? 🩷

50/50 Co parenting a newborn
Is it a good idea for a baby to move home every 3/4 days to co parent?
I want to breast feed which I wouldn’t be able to if we do 50/50 and I feel that’s unfair to both me and the baby I’m pregnant with.
Is it ever a good idea to 50/50 share a newborn baby? Am I wrong to say no?
I won’t get into baby daddy situation but he’s awful. Regardless of that is it ever a good idea for a newborn to bounce between homes so often? I would be ok with the idea from when the baby is 12 months but immediately after birth I think is a crazy ask from the dad.
