Idk how far along you are, but if you’re 28+ weeks, really make sure you’re eating enough protein! Like 100g+ a day if you can. At 28 weeks our bodies are producing so much more blood for baby and needs the extra protein to do that. If you aren’t getting enough then it leads to crazy exhaustion. I learned all about that during my first pregnancy, and now that I’m eating enough this second time around, I haven’t been nearly as exhausted as I was before!

I literally just texted my husband I can’t believe how tired I am omg.
About to be 29 weeks and I haven’t been this tired since early first trimester 🫠

It never hurts to have your iron levels checked- even if they were fine in your last lab. I was normal iron range end of august and all of September became increasingly more tired and exhausted as you've explained. Had them rechecked last week and am in need of iron infusions. Not sharing to freak you out! Just another angle to explore. Im 31 weeks

Anyone?! At my 35 weeks ultrasound im told that the gender I’ve been told at 20 weeks is wrong!

They told me it’s a girl and now at 35 weeks their are telling me it’s a boy. The sonographer has been different everytime! How do I trust anyone at this point?! Here’s a photo of their privates! The one who did it today said she’s 100% certain it’s a boy. Has this happened to anyone here?

Confused about C-section vs vaginal delivery

I’ve had a history of stress incontinence and general pelvic floor weakness before pregnancy and also lower back issues like sciatica before pregnancy. Now I know C-sec is a major surgery with longer recovery times but vaginal birth could lead to worsening of the pelvic floor and worst case scenario could lead to C-sec anyway! So I’m really not sure how to make a decision here, there are so many unknowns of how the birth could go and how the body can react after! Any advice on how you are choosing your way of delivery??
