Bloating and indigestion😭

Girls I need help! I’m 19 weeks and everything I eat seems to just be sitting. It’s making me really uncomfortable even when I’m just sitting down. I find it really hard to find a comfy position when sleeping. Is there any tips on how I can stop this uncomfortable feeling as it’s getting really frustrating now😭😬

Unfortunately pregnancy can be very uncomfortable 😫 but you can try pregnancy pillow and for stomach being upset if nothing helps id ask my doctor for something to help settle the stomach . That’s what I had to do because everything would upset my stomach .

Take 2 Rennie's before bed 😁 x

Yeah it’s just really uncomfortable and i second the pregnancy pillow. That thing is heavenly and helps so much. Eat smaller meals throughout the day. If it’s too bad ask your doctor for medication. I had heartburn so bad that i was literally choking and i was in tears. Medicine was the absolute best thing and i went in this not wanting to take anything but I really didn’t have choice

32 weeks and experienced bad indigestion for the first Time tonight and wow was it painful! Gaviscon really helped!

Could be constipated which is very common. Bring it up to your midwife she can advise on things you can take. Regards sleeping positions get yourself a pregnancy pillow but sleeping isn’t fun when pregnant and it gets worse unfortunately but just think of the baby at the end xxxx

I feel this too. It happened around 19 or 20 weeks and started up again around 28 weeks. I second the recommendation about eating smaller meals but more frequently, but it’s hard sometimes!

Gaviscon advance is the one and avaliable on prescription best med I've had tbh! Wouldn't of got through pregnancy without it

Hospital Bag?

Hey everyone! When is the right time to pack your hospital bag and what on earth do I need? I see so many different websites and advice on social media that it all gets very overwhelming. Thank you so much for any help.

C-section

Hi ladies, how long does it take to recover from a c-section?

Things you wish you’d do before C-Section

I’m having my section on Sunday, and trying to write a bunch of ‘self-care’ type things I want to do before hand.
Now I’m not talking the practical things like setting up changing or feeding stations etc. I’m talking things for you like shaving your legs or dying your eyebrows 😂
I know from my last section that I’m not gunna feel my best so I want to do everything I can to feel good! I’ve got a fresh haircut already!
So what are some things you did / wish you did before your c section?

UK Mums: If you had an assigned midwife for your first pregnancy, but not your 2nd. Were you a bit disappointed?

For my first pregnancy I was blessed with having an assigned midwife that I saw every appointment. She was absolutely amazing, so I guess I was spoiled in that sense. This pregnancy, I see a different midwife every appointment and I am a bit disappointed. Before anyone jumps on my back I know it is not guaranteed to have an assigned midwife. It is just hard when each midwife answered my question differently at each appointment and it took the epilepsy clinic (was referred due to having seizures in the last) to give me the actual answer. I also keep getting told that if I have any general questions to contact MAU, but I always thought they were there for urgent matters? Anyways sorry for rambling, I am just a person that feels at ease with consistency 😭

Help!

Stuck on names, I have an Ollie already.

We were set on Hugo but I don’t like any of the shortened nicknames for Hugo and don’t feel it’s as easy to say as Ollie! What do you think?

Mama’s told you were measuring big, how did you get your percentile down?

I was told 97 percentile at 20 week scan and 90 percentile at 28 week scan. I was hoping the first was inaccurate but it’s seems they are tracking large.

Any tips to get the percentile down safely before birth? I’m worried it’s food/exercise related. Any one get told more than once baby was tracking large but they came out a lower percentile?

Any tips appreciated🙏
