Pregnancy pillow

Hey I’m on the hunt for a good pregnancy pillow for night times - any recommendations please? ☺️

I got the mamas and papas pregnancy pillow in my last pregnancy and using it again now. It’s a v shaped but can be stretched into a long sausage. If you google it comes up at a variety of places for different prices. My little girl also used it lots when she was a baby xx

I got one similar to the babybub pillow but bought it off amazon. Works great and was more in my price range. It's got a wedge either side to support my back and my bump as well as a longer pillow you can attach that goes between your knees. I was struggling with hip and back pain from 12 weeks onwards and the pillow allows me to sleep with no pain 😊

I got the mum cozy u shaped pillow. I love it. I use it in bed and also on the sofa. Also I’ve been told it works great during nursing when the baby gets here

I bought a cheaper u shaped pillow and honestly it is life changing 😂

I have two different ones. I have a big u shaped one. Then I have a 3 piece one. You stick the two bigger pieces together and lay on the middle bit. Then the smaller piece can either go as extra support at your back or for between your knees

I got this one from amazon similar to baby bub (shied away from baby bub due to reviews), trialled the small ones flr a bit and felt comfy but no need yet, but have been using the long section between the legs and during the day to lean on under other pillows when reading etc. https://amzn.eu/d/0cEYoDNN

Hey pospartum

10 month almost 11 month baby mothers are yall doing ok im having pospartum anxiety still any one ?

When’s too early?

Unrelated to babies or pregnancy but, how early is everyone putting their tress up. I’m already debating it 😂🙈

Has anyone had to be tested for GTT at 24 weeks?

I went for a routine 24 week appointment today and the midwife said I was measuring big. She said she's going to send me for glucose testing and a scan to check baby's growth. They have already booked me in for a scan first thing in the morning, which has got me a bit stressed out. I know nothing has been confirmed yet and she also said its very inaccurate the way they measure with a tape measure.. has anyone else been in this situation?

Blood pressure!

Hi ladies! Has anyone suffered with blood pressure issues after having their baby? Never suffered with it during pregnancy. Finally the doctor has put me on medication after it reaching 170/105 today!😳

Anyone expecting or already had a second baby?

How are you preparing? How are you feeling or doing if you had one already?

New sibling worries!…

I’m a “step” mom to a 12 yr old girl who i have been fully active and close w her since she was 4.5 yrs old. Bm is still in the picture and we have 50/50. So I have always felt like and just refereed to her as my daughter and not even stepdaughter and she has called me the same just mom and not stepmom. This was all natural from us by choice mutually between my “step” daughter and I. So now I’m 6 weeks pregnant w a sibling for her and she doesn’t know yet. We wanna wait till end of first trimester to tell her for obvious reasons…. Now the real issue is how I’m feeling abt it… my biggest fear even before getting pregnant is that when we would have more kids, that my first baby (“step” daughter) would feel like it’s different and like my other babies I love my JUST bc I birthed them and not her… she looks JUST like her dad and nothing like me at all. She is dirty blonde like her dad and I’m Latina and mixed…. Nothing wrong w that at all. but it just all adds into it. I’m worried abt how she may feel like replaced for my by her new sibling, and especially since ik her bio mom and others will put something like this in her head and feed here these lies that make her feel replaced (either intentionally or unintentionally). And my other fear is maybe it’s true tho?!…. Everyone has always told me “oh! It will be sooo different tho once you’re, you know, a REAL mom. And you have YOUR OWN kid.”… and that would pmo so much bc I do everything and I AM a real mom and she IS my own kid. Not blood but we are so close it feels like sometimes I forget I didn’t carry and birth her myself! And sometimes she forgets too tbh lol. My point is, I would do anything for my baby girl now. And I don’t want anyone making her feel, me feel, or trying to convince us otherwise. Have any other women been thru something like this?! Any advice is helpful pls… I’m having a really hard time when I should be happy and excited to have another child.
