Absolutely miserable at only 27 weeks

I am so itchy, like crazy out of my mind itchy and have these weird shooting pains all over my body. I have horrible RLS and absolutely drive myself crazy itching, over thinking and being unable to sleep or relax. It’s really affecting my daily life, my sleep is minimal
, disrupted and laying in bed is almost impossible because my skin feels like it’s crawling. I had Cholestasis my last pregnancy but all my levels keep coming back normal. No meds have helped any symptoms I’m high risk have suffered severe HG and I just don’t know how to go forward hopeful when I am just entering my third trimester and don’t feel like I can keep this up mentally physically and emotionally. Wish there was help but there’s been no relief. 😮‍💨

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?

10weeks PP

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.

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!
