Driving? Working?
Were any of you not able to drive anymore during the 3rd trimester? I'm 30 weeks and driving is becoming very difficult, also sitting in the office all day, I work hybrid so I only go in twice a week and those days are just torture. How did you all handle that?

Driving hasn’t being too bad so far but I agree, sitting at a desk to work is awful! Unfortunately I don’t really have a solution other than maybe a hot water bottle to soothe your back but I sympathise! X
I always stop driving at 32 weeks if I can make it that far. I’m very short, and my belly is very large, and it doesn’t feel safe for me and the other kids.

Due November 8th, C section October 21st
Girls I’m sooooo excited!!!!! I’m suspected pre-eclampsia (not ideal) but this means my c-section has been moved to next Wednesday and I can’t WAIT to meet my baby and no longer be pregnant anymore 🥳 Is anyone else in a similar situation?

Weigh ins
Has anyone else been weighed as part of their midwife appointments?
I saw a different midwife as mine was on leave and she noted that I hadn’t been weighed since my first appointment (currently 34 weeks). I didn’t think anything of it. This is my second pregnancy and I’m well aware my body likes to pile on the weight, I’m not concerned as this happened with my first. So when she noted I’d put on 18kg she then went on a complete spiral about GD even though I had no other triggers. (I was a size 8 before — so it’s not like a little weight would do me harm)
Also I actually put on much more weight in my first pregnancy.
After looking into, the NICE guidelines say that they shouldn’t do routine weigh ins as there are too many factors and it doesn’t mean much on its own.
Has anyone else had a weigh in trigger a risk factor — it didn’t help the midwife was the GD specialist at the hospital

Would you be offended?
So my MIL offered to pay for me to have the weight loss jab! Bear in mind I’m 5 weeks pp and I haven’t mentioned to her about even wanting to loose weight!
The conversation came up because she offered to pay for it for my partner and then she bought me into the conversation too! Like I was a size 8 before I had my two children and I’m now probably more of a 14 and I will loose weight when I’m ready but just in no rush but now I feel like maybe I should just start now! Like I must be massive! She also before hand said I looked like I had lost weight in my face🫠
Would anyone else be offended or am I just overthinking it?

When did you get out and about?
2.5 weeks pp and I feel like the days are merging into one atm..we’ve done a few walks and popping to local shops but no car journeys yet. When did everyone get out with their newborns after birth?

Nervous wreck😩
I tested positive for GBS recently at my GP, first time hearing of it, turns out I might of had it a while as it’s been effecting my mobility possibly even before my pregnancy as I was having trouble with my legs which physio couldn’t diagnose and has only spread since to my back. I messaged my midwife to update her and ask about it, all she did was send me a very scary leaflet with no message, which upon reading has only made me depressed and anxious for my babies wellbeing. I’m trying to be positive but I’ve never had much luck in life so I’m just constantly worried and I feel like I’m grieving something that isn’t even certain yet but I feel so guilty that I may possibly harm my baby. Is anyone else feeling the same or do I just sound like a complete nut job? Any advice, information, experiences shared would be greatly appreciated 🤍
