I’m 9 weeks and the nausea is rough without the tablets
Is there a reason you don't want to tell work? You can't benefit from any of the laws and policies that protect pregnant people if they don't know you're pregnant.
I’ve told my bosses (not the rest of my team) because I needed them to know early so that I didn’t have to worry telling them about appointments and also so that they are a bit more understanding if I’m not feeling myself most days.
It is super hard being nauseous at work though. Just do what you can. I can’t wait till I can tell the rest of the team as I’m sure they are wondering why I am so miserable 😵💫

Calling in sick from work
Please someone reassure me it is okay to do this as I can’t stop myself feeling guilty. I’ve called in sick today from work as I’m burnt out, exhausted and not feeling great. Also my mental health has been shocking. I’m 19 weeks pregnant with a 17 month old and never get the chance to just do nothing or rest. All my holiday had to be used before I returned to work or I wouldn’t have been paid so I don’t have any holiday to take now, calling in sicks my only choice. It doesn’t help either that last week I was REALLY struggling with my mental health and had 2 breakdowns at work then as I was leaving on the last day a colleague fell out with me, threatened to discuss it with a manager and I left in floods of tears in a bad way. I’ve not been back since and am dreading returning. Annoyingly though I’ve slept this morning after dropping my lo to nursery and I feel no more energised for it🤦🏼♀️

Can anyone relate?
I am 35 weeks 3 days. When I wake up in the night, I have bad pelvic girdle pain and lower abdomen pain. I find when I walk round it settles. Does anyone else have this?

Am I the only person that hasn't got a birth plan?
I'm 35 weeks and I had my midwife appointment yesterday and she discussed if I had a birth plan yet? I said no just going with the flow...

Uterine polyps
😭 so I've had non stop heavy uterine bleeding for the last 4 months. I've had two ultrasounds which seem to suggest that I have a uterine polyp but they can't be sure, doesn't look like it's anything worse.
I've now been referred to gynaecology and having just chased my appointment as per the NHS app instructions been told the wait time to be seen is 12-18 months 😢
Firstly I'm scared that it is something bad and leaving it this long is not a good idea, and secondly my daughter has just turned 1 and because of my age (almost 40) we were hoping to start trying for a second next year.
I can't afford to go private at this time as it can cost up to £4500 for the procedure I'm expecting to have.
Has anyone had the same? Have any of you got pregnant with a polyp and it's been ok?
I'm so worried that I get pregnant again and lose the baby, or it causes complications for me (I don't want to leave my LG 🙏🏼💔) or that I bleed my whole pregnancy and I'm constantly anxious something is wrong.
My GP has said she doesn't think there would be any issues trying again now that I'm 12 months post c section.
My LG was born via emergency c section under general anaesthetic at 35 weeks because I had maternal sepsis so my anxiety in another pregnancy will be high anyway.
