Pregnancy pp

🫣 Posting anonymously because I’m not quite ready to put this out there yet…

I’d love some opinions from other moms! I’m wondering if there’s a possibility I could be pregnant, but I’m trying not to convince myself based on symptoms. 😂

My period is expected in about 5 days, and lately I’ve been EXTREMELY tired/exhausted. Tonight I suddenly started feeling really nauseous and needed a ginger chew, which is unusual for me. I also noticed my breast milk supply seemed unusually low recently.

The weirdest thing is that when I was pregnant with my daughter, tomatoes/red sauce made me incredibly sick. Tonight we had pasta with red sauce, and afterward I started feeling really nauseous again. 🤢

I’ve also noticed that my boobs look HUGE after pumping, which is something I specifically remember happening when I was pregnant with my daughter before I even knew I was pregnant.

I have been testing, but so far I’ve gotten negative pregnancy tests. The thing is, when I was pregnant with my daughter, I also took multiple negative tests. I kept testing and testing, and it wasn’t until I was around 7–8 weeks pregnant that I finally got a very obvious positive. So the negatives right now aren’t necessarily making me feel completely convinced either way. 😅

I know PMS can cause a lot of the same symptoms, and breastfeeding can make cycles and hormones unpredictable, so I’m trying to stay realistic. But with the nausea, exhaustion, breast changes, lower supply, and the fact that some of this feels eerily similar to my last pregnancy… I’m definitely wondering. 👀

For those of you who found out you were pregnant before your missed period, did you have symptoms like this? Did you get negative tests at first and then eventually get a positive? And has anyone else noticed their breasts looking especially large/full after pumping as an early pregnancy symptom?

Would love to hear your experiences/opinions because I’m driving myself crazy trying to figure out if I’m imagining things or if my body is trying to tell me something. 😂❤️

Has anyone had a c section then got pregnant immediately after? i know they say to wait 18-24 months but wanted to know if anyone got pregnant earlier and how it went

Are the risks are as bad as they say they are

What are the odds my elective will happen tomorrow? (I know it's hard to say)

The hospital called me and told me to come in at 7am instead of 7:30am, however they also said I would be coming in with 6 other women and the list won't be made until we are all admitted (understandable). The theatre is open from 8 or 8:30am until 7:30pm and they don't do electives on the weekend. What are estimated odds I will actually get to meet my little one tomorrow? Just worried as I am not allowed even water from 7am on

Back to work after mat leave

Hi all, I started back on work Tuesday after a year off, my lg is 10 and half months old I also have a 5 year old who’s in y1.
I only work 3 days a week Tuesday, Thursday, Friday. I honestly feel so run down already and I’ve only done my second day I honestly don’t know how I’m going to do this for the foreseeable it’s just constant. I have so much to do yet I’m sat here eating cake and a super noodle for my tea because I don’t have the energy or time to cook my self anything.
I’m a hairdresser and I just feel mentally and physically drained already. Does it get easier

Triage reduced movements

I went into triage for reduced movement and after feeling reassured on ctg. A random dr comes in and tells me I should deliver today as at term.

Like wtf - midwife said it’s protocol for them to say that

I’m so annoyed

I have C-section booked for Tuesday so part of me just wants to go with that now

Anyone else’s November due baby gonna be an October baby instead?

I’m being induced or having a c section at 37 weeks (29th October) due to a few medical reasons

Anybody else?

Cramps

Woke up this morning with cramps, usually only get them at night and gone by morning today I woke up with them still and had them all day. Had a nap and woke up and their worse now. It’s just a constant pain I wouldn’t say there’s a pattern to it, it does fluctuate in how painful depending on what I’m doing. Just went food shopping and the pain is so bad and all in my back now. Don’t know what to make of it or whether I should be worried… 😅 I’m 39 weeks today.
