When do we get our core back??

I still can barely get out of bed without swinging myself round. I struggle to get up off the sofa sometimes.

I just have no core AT ALL. Whats going on??

Just to clarify sorry - my belly looks how it should! I just can't use my muscles! Theyre just non existent, I.was an avid barbell and dumbell lifter so I definitely had a good core before but now it feels like Its GONE.

My core is just my back, ive tried gentle workouts based around pilates and even had to modify those.

3 hour glucose ⬇️

if my clinics cut off was 134 for the one hour & I got a 139- do yall think ill pass the 3 hour easily?

Anybody was on Sertraline (Zoloft) while pregnant?

I was on it before pregnancy but stopped when I found out I was pregnant. But I’m really struggling. My dr said it was fine to continue but something in my heart feels guilty for taking it.

Anybody willing to share their experience?

She is definitely getting big!

Hard belly

Hey can anyone tell me if it’s normal to have such a hard belly???

I’m almost 36 weeks and have a very tight belly a lot of the time. I’m getting quite constipated so think it could be this and I’ve now got the bulge where his butt is but everything feels quite tight and feel concerned as I’m the first to be pregnant in family and friend groups and I don’t really know what to expect at this time…

Any help is appreciated 🩵

Has anyone had preeclampsia with a previous pregnancy?

I had preeclampsia in my first pregnancy and delivered at 33+6 and my girlie spent the first 11 days of life in NICU. I’m nearly 26 weeks now and BP has been fine up to now, been on aspirin since 12 weeks and have growth scans at 32,36 and 40 weeks with consultant appointments after these. Not yet decided on VBAC or C section yet but interested to hear others experiences
