July babies

These July babies don’t hang around. My little dude arrived 2 weeks before his due date.

This has happened a few times now... Put baby down, husband does a huge sneeze, back at square 1. He says he can't help it, but most of us women aren't sneezing like bloody elephants. Do you think people are able to control the volume of their sneezing? Vote below!

Any other babies quieter?

It’s super hot and I’m trying to stay hydrated. I’ve felt baby move today but not as much as normal. Anyone else?

29 week scan

So we had an extra scan today because of my BMI being high.
They told us she has hair!! I can’t quite figure it out from these pictures, any ideas? I have googled what hair on an ultrasound looks like and I’m not sure you can really see it from the angle of these pictures. I think they may have seen it when they were doing the checks haha

Bowel movements - 5 days after c section

I have no strength in my belly to push out any wind or to push for a poo 5 days after a c section. Did anyone else ever have this?

I did go day 3, but it was loose as i took laxatives and it happened on its own, I couldn’t push or stop it just happened.

I tried talking to midwives today about it as I can feel that I need to go, or pass wind but genuinely can’t as I just can’t push it out, it’s like numb. They didn’t do anything though but I’m so worried as I just want to have normal feeling. I’ve never heard of this before?!

Energy

Anyone else 30 odd weeks and there energy just drops at like 3pm ? I am lifeless from 3pm onwards and I have a 2 year old also 🙈🙈

10 weeks and feeling worse

Is anyone else starting to feel worse not better?

I’ve had nausea since week 6 but just about managing. These last few days it’s just got worse. I threw up for the first time on Friday and I just have no energy at all. I thought I was supposed to feel better closer to 12 weeks!

Girl names

Which do you prefer? We are looking for something a little unusual.

Baby movements

Has anyone felt baby move yet? I’m almost 16 weeks and this is my third baby. I’m sure I’d usually feel something by now

Early pregnancy light bleeding

Hi just wondering if anyone experienced a slightly orange tigned discharge in early pregnancy? I don't know how far along I am because my periods never came back after my first baby but I'm guessing between 7 and 8 weeks.

For a couple of days I've had some slightly orange tigned discharge which I assume is a tiny bit of blood. Yearerday I would say it was accompanied by very mild cramping, but hardly noticeable and it's gone now. I had some bleeding in my first pregnancy but that was different. I don't have my first midwife appointment for another 10 days so I'm wondering what to do. I assume I just monitor it in case it gets worse.

Any advice would be much appreciated.
