Preclampsia anyone?

So ive been diagnosed with mild preclampsia and tbh i just want to know how your experience was? Just want an insight as to what my next few weeks might potentially look like 💓

I am 34 weeks tomorrow and I am supposed to try to work 2 more weeks. Woth my first I was already home by now. I have been off sick for a week. I feel exausted. I am not sure how am I going to do on Monday.

Pregnancy severe Nausea and Vomitting

Hello mums
I am going to be mum for the second time. My first time pregnancy first trimester was terrible. I somehow survived it. But it’s becoming worse this time with a toddler around. I am having terrible nausea and vomiting. I can’t stand any food. Every other smell makes me puke. It’s like living a nightmare every single day.
I know I can go to the GP and ask for anti-sickness meds. But I am bit suspicious as I had miscarriage before my first baby after taking a lot of anti-sickness medication.(idk if that was the reason). It just remained in my head and I can’t trust those medications anymore.

Please tell me if you have any other solutions or home remedies that worked for you which I can try. So far I have tried anti sickness bands and some sucking lemon chocolates. Does not seem to help at all.
Thank you in advance 🙏🏻

Second pregnancy feeling exhausted

Just wana see if anyone else is going through the same, this is my second baby I’m pregnant with and I have a 2 year old. This pregnancy has flawed me, I literally have no energy and I’m so tired. I feel so guilty not doing much with my 2 year old but I just don’t have the energy😩 she does go to nursery and my family take her swimming etc but like today I have her on my own and I don’t have the energy to take her out
