36 Weeks and still working

Anyone else still at work? I’m so tired, been getting back pain and period cramps and increase in fluid and just want to rest and nest 🫩

Am I the only person with an anterior placenta who just felt there baby start kicking and now when ever I wake up I struggle to go back to sleep becuase baby is very very active and no stop kicking me ???? Not that I dont enjoy it i do but I still want sleep. Also it is only me who has like 3 months left and can only drink coke cola

So. Tired. 😭😭 [29 weeks]

First trimester was exhausting, then second trimester I've been doing well. Hired a trainer. Lifting weights twice a week and trying to walk 4-5 miles per day! Had some tired days but generally felt good and healthy. I'm at 29 weeks now and suddenly feel just freaking exhausted!!!

Just spent 3.5 hours staring at my phone at my desk and trying to get up to go home to take a nap.

I feel too tired to walk. What is happening!! I didn't expect this until ~34 weeks.

How am I going to do my job?? 😭😭
Just ranting mostly. But open to advice!! Anyone else exhausted?

Do babies movement pattern change around 36 weeks?

I’ve been running around all day today so haven’t notice movement much. I sat down for a bit around 3-4pm and felt baby move but baby seem quite quiet tonight! 🥴

Flying any tips? 7 weeks pregnant

I am visiting family in another continent and have a long flight ahead 14+ hours. I plan on wearing compression socks and make sure I have snacks for the trip once in the airport. I am getting nausea on and off, essentially whenever I get hungry or first wake up. Any tricks that helped you if you had to fly long hours or push away nausea?

How do I overcome from repeated illness.

I seem to be picking up every sickness bug going. I’m taking my vitamins and trying to get some fruit down me…probably not enough. Once I’ve had one illness I probably have 1-2 days of being symptoms free (the pregnancy symptoms are still ongoing), but then I pick up something else. It’s ruthless, but I work full time and already taken sick leave, so I can’t really justify taking anymore time off.

Any medications that are pregnancy safe anyone has recommend?

Super light bleeding

Did anyone have super light bleeding around missed period during their missed period and found out they were pregnant? I’ve been having it on and off since Sunday and I took a test on Tuesday and it was negative. Not sure if it’s possible if I’m pregnant or not. Didn’t have this with my first one.

I’m freaking out

Been having intense vivid dreams about being pregnant plus painful boobs

Feeling off

Tested last week nothing - tested today and I’m panicking I can see something ?!

I’m on mini pill and using pull out on top!

Can anyone else see

Working out while pregnant!💪🏽

Hey ladies! I am currently 29.5 weeks pregnant with my second child. Although I am still making it to the gym twice a week I want to go more. My mom and friends are telling me I should be resting and should stop working out. I am a very active person and I was lifting 5 times a week prior to being pregnant. What are your opinions on this?!
