Do you sleep with a fan in your face while sleeping? I’m trying to see something lol.

I sleep with the fan directly in my face. I know it’s not good to do it can make your mouth and nose dry. But, I do it anyway. My husband hates the fan on him. I can’t sleep without it I love the sound too. He will sometimes sleep on the other end of the bed lol.

I love the sound of the fan, but if it's blowing on my face, I feel like I can't breathe

I have my fan on my nightstand, typically it's aimed at my torso or legs, but occasionally if I get really hot at night I do aim it at my face. I don't do it too much tho because if the temp drops then I end up getting a sore throat.

Our fan is a few feet away from the foot of our bed, I dont think I could handle it directly in my face.

Not in my face. We had to find a fan with a sound we both liked.

I don't but my partner does, I hate the noise but don't mind the breeze generally. Since being pregnant though I've felt like I cannot get enough air to breath lol so have been stealing his fan when he's not around 🤣

Well, I knew all my screws weren’t tight. This confirms it. 🤣

I get night sweats if the fan isn’t directly on me I wake up in a pool of sweat- times like that I’m glad I’m single cuz another body in the bed is just more heat and I would die lol

My fan is at the foot of my bed but it’s still facing my face. lol so there’s some distance. Plus the ceiling fan is on too. I prefer to be smothered in blankets than hot and sweaty

I also use a humidifier to avoid the dryness

I do now because of my husband. Took awhile to get used to

Silent miscarriage

I am 40. Today I had a 13w dating scan for the first time for our “surprise” baby just to find out that the baby doesn’t have a heartbeat, has lots of nuchal fluids around his neck, down to his spine and around his heart.
My husband is sad, but he went to work (night shift). We are new to this town and I haven’t made any friends yet… my family doesn’t know I was even pregnant… my almost 2 yo little one is unwell with a high fever next to me. I feel so sad and so alone. My body is not showing any signs of miscarriage. I still have nausea and “night sickness”. I just don’t know what to do with myself…

Baby is measuring big - what are my birthing options?

Hey ladies :) I'm 33+4 today and I had a growth scan and they've said baby is measuring big at 96th percentile. This has been the case since 20 weeks but now they've referred me to a consultant to discuss birth options etc and I have to do the gestational diabetes test again (it was fine last time) and I'm just stressing out now 😩 I'm a first time mum and I'm feeling overwhelmed because I'm hearing so many different things. People keep saying that the weight stuff is usually inaccurate, so I'm trying to take things with a pinch of salt. Has anyone had a similar experience and can give any advice?

Elective C Section VS Induction

It is looking very likely that we will be induced around the 37/38 week mark due to babies slowed growth. However, induction was one road I did not want to go down. Everyone I know has had painful inductions and that eventually led to emergency c-sections. I’m considering electing for a c-section instead of putting myself and baby through a lot of stress and pain. I’m so torn! I will be discussing with midwives and doctors in the next couple of weeks (we have a consultation this week and next). What is everyone’s thoughts/experiences?

Movements

Hello all, I’m 19+1 today, I have a higher bmi and haven’t felt much real movement. When I have felt stuff it’s like pops or bubbles which I can’t 100% say are movements. I’m really nervous as this is my 4th pregnancy ( 1 living child) and I’m so worried. Anyone else with a higher BMI having a similar experience?

1st time mum

Hello, I am 38+3 weeks and worried about induction as I have heard that most of the induction turns into emergency C section. My midwife says they will book me for induction on the next appointment if I don’t go into spontaneous labour, someone told me it’s better to just go for C section, now I am so confused and don’t know what to choose.

Popping noise

Well that's a weird new symptom!

The other night I was lying in bed and I could hear a popping/crackling sound from my tummy.

Never had that with my first and found it so bizarre!

Anyone else experienced that? Freaked me out 🤣
