I'm 36 weeks today and working until 39 weeks if able 😭🙈 regretting that now with fatigue and joint pain but will be worth it for the extra time off after she's born.

I'm finishing tomorrow, I'll be 36+5, I'm exhausted and so uncomfortable, I can't wait to finish.

I am 37+2. Going to 40 weeks but I am also about to go bed as I am so tired x

I finished today and managed to work to 38 weeks. It’s been hard but work has been flexible with working 4 days from home and 1 day in the office in my final month, otherwise I wouldn’t have managed it. Listen to your body and ask for flexibility if it is an option. You’re doing great, it’s not easy.

Still working, I’m 37+4 and my last day is next Friday 🙏 I’m honestly so tired, sore and everything hurts 😂

37 weeks tomorrow and working until 39 weeks as a district nurse! Doing it so I can have longer off the other side. Only bonus is I manage a caseload and team so mainly on admin now. I also only work mon-Thurs so technically only need to get through 2 more weeks. Got home today and had a 30mins nap! It is exhausting but will be worth it for the time off afterwards

I’m working until 38 weeks. Really regretting making that decision ngl 🤣

Me, I'm 35 weeks and working until just over 38 weeks die to school holidays, love my job but so tired!

I’m 38 weeks today, still working until next Tuesday and have induction Wednesday! I must be mad… thinking if I don’t stay at home I won’t think what Wednesday will be 😂

I'm the same! Saving up my days for the other side so I can survive those unpaid days. It's tough but will be 10000% with it

Yesss!! Just finished work today at 37+1 weeks. Second baby. Been struggling for weeks 😂

Working out while pregnant!💪🏽

Hey ladies! I am currently 29.5 weeks pregnant with my second child. Although I am still making it to the gym twice a week I want to go more. My mom and friends are telling me I should be resting and should stop working out. I am a very active person and I was lifting 5 times a week prior to being pregnant. What are your opinions on this?!

Birthing plan.

What was everyone’s experience and what did you do to recover?
My first born was born by c section and it was a really bad recovery I want a natural birth and I’m so worried about the aftercare or what to do to avoid damage down there

VBAC or Planned C-Section?

I had an emergency C-section with my first at age 39. 10 hours of labor, stalled at 8cm and his heart rate kept dropping significantly. I’m now age 40 and 30 weeks pregnant. Time to decide if I’m going to try vaginal birth or just schedule the c-section. Part of me wants the traditional experience, but the other part of me is terrified and almost feels like another c-section would be the “easy way out” lol. My doctor was so quick to just suggest scheduling the c-section, but curious to hear VBAC success stories or if the recovery from a second c-section was awful or not too bad - help!
