Can anyone relate?

Man, this pregnancy is so different from my first one with my son. With my son, I took the normal prenatal/iron supplements, normal "chill" pregnancy symptoms. This pregnancy? Morning sickness all first trimester, really bad indigestion/heartburn episodes (very painful in the chest area), some days I'm forgetting to take my prenatal and because of all the stuff I have going on, I'm taking things I didn't need to take during my first pregnancy (like tums/Pepcid/Tylenol). I'm worried about the difference in pregnancies that I'm screwing my little girl up when she joins us 🥺. I do believe each pregnancy is different, I just hate how crazy this one has been.

I can totally relate! My first pregnancy I was sick and couldn’t keep much down but didn’t need medication until heartburn kicked in late second trimester. Second pregnancy I need all types of medication because of sickness and bed bound because I was so weak from throwing up! Third pregnancy I didn’t need anything and was able to keep stuff down other than that damn glucose drink for the 1hr test. This is my fourth and so 0 medicine and I’m 26 weeks

Same! First pregnancy was a breeze. This one has been totally different. I’m 28 weeks and still nauseous. Ugh! But yes every one is different and I’m hoping labor will be easier this time so it’ll be a nice trade off 🤞🏻

Challenges at 34 weeks.

I am finding it difficult with the pressure that baby is causing. Some nights to lots of pressure down below where it feels like she is coming out, other nights she’s so high in my stomach I feel so bloated and it’s so tight. Is this just me or is this something others go through.

Risk of pregnancy loss

I’ve just been to hospital for my pre op snd have been told there’s a risk of losing the baby going under general 😔 has anyone had a short procedure at 6 weeks and didn’t affect the baby

Anyone else?

Is anyone else not feeling connected to their pregnancy.

Happy to be pregnant as we were trying, however, when anyone congratulates me they seem more excited than I am and I don’t feel like I have any connection with the baby yet. Not sure of this is normal?

Irritable

Is there anyone who is 3 months PP and super irritable? Is it hormones balancing back out? Period about to start back?
Or have you ever been super irritable like that and it wasn’t your cycle starting again?
This is my first baby and idk what’s happening. I am super irritable and my sensory has been on overload. Hearing people eat makes me want to punch a hole in the wall. I wasn’t like this until about a week ago, I’ve had such a bad attitude because everything annoys me and I feel so bad after the fact. Idk what to do or what’s happening

Anyone else 40 weeks +? Are you still making plans to do stuff during the week or are you completely on baby watch?

It’s half term and I have a toddler. I’m 40+4 and stuck between just getting on with making plans with friends or sit at home and wait around! Especially with how the weather is currently, it’s seems a lot of effort just to get out in this wind and rain!
