Extremely vivid nightmares?
I’m currently 7 weeks PP and the wee one has been going through his 6-8 week crisis so I’m extra tired but the last couple of nights I’ve started having horribly and extremely vivid nightmares all related to baby - to the point I will wake up talking or crying or doing sudden movements. Anyone experienced something similar? Tonight I didn’t even remember falling asleep in between feeds and almost thought I had woken the baby up from how badly I jerked

Yes, I was so tired I started to remember dreams I’d had years ago and dream really started to be a little mixed together. It was scary. I did make it through. I get tired on days, not like that anymore. Hang in there and ask for help whenever you can. Her aunt watched her today Willie I napped. I’m up a little later with some time to myself. It was rough even today. More breaks and rest are coming eventually my friend, hopefully sooner than later. Hang in there, speak your needs, have mom friends. I don’t family nearby normally & now at least I feel more understood as I share & people can help where they can
My baby is teething atm cutting his bottom 2 teeth and wakes every hour or less. I keep having such vivid wild dreams! It’s where you’re being woken in the REM stage of sleep and so remember them x
I'm almost 6 weeks postpartum i started having nightmares, it could be related to postpartum anxiety

Is diarrhea common in the third trimester?
I'm at the start of my third trimester and without being too crude, I have had liquid stools for the last 4/5 days. I mentioned it to the midwife a few days ago and she appeared to be surprised and said if it continued to contact my GP or a midwife, at this point it had been happening for 2 days minimum. Is this normal?

Has anyone talked about birth options with their midwife yet?
At my 16 week appt my midwife askednif i had any other question (after a ling list of question in an appt that felt more like signing up for a moetgage) so i asked what ive been thinking about alot. Birth.
I wanted to start the conversation about birthing options, as I've been wondering about a doula, and wanting to start to look into my options (which i feel takes time, especially when working fulltime).
My midwife swiftly said we dont look at that until 36 weeks. I then said that feels quite close to the due date of around 40 weeks is that really enough time, and she said yes its enough time and just didn't want to talk anymore about it. My appointment time was also up, on the dot.
Just wondered other people's experiences so far with their midwives?
This is my second appt and both times ive left thinking that was a bit awful, do I have to go to these? But also sad because I was hoping to have some support.
Im a ftm, newish to the uk and have no family here and a couple of friends, and no experience with the NHS (although ive heard the system is similar to home) so overall dont feel that settled and am starting to worry.

Baby bump
Hey :)
Idk if anyone else has had this , I’m on the plus side and currently 30/31 weeks and I don’t feel like I a obvious bump. I can see that I’m getting bigger but my tummy isn’t getting as rounded as I thought it would. It’s also my first pregnancy so I expected to have a bump of some kind so I’m not letting it bother me to much but part of me wants it to be obvious that I’m pregnant and not look like I’m putting on weight😂
