Bad dream tips 😭

I know that during pregnancy we have vivid weird dreams!

But I swear I have nightmares every night and everytime I sleep!! Any tips or tricks??

I keep waking up with extremely painful feet, no swelling or anything and it goes away throughout the day but the walk from my bed to the bathroom in the morning is so so painful, as if I’ve been walking for 3 days straight. Is this normal?

Full of rage

I do all the nights and have done since day 1. I breastfeed and look after our 3 year old. I’m exhausted.

I am constantly full of rage and find it hard to control especially when I am tired.

Is this a normal mum thing?

Day 1 Postpartum

This isn’t my first rodeo… but I swear I was never THIS exhausted after having a baby. I’m talking about passing out while the baby is nursing tired. My eyes itch. My body hurts. And baby boy seems unhappy more than calm 😩 Also doesn’t help that my husband had to spend most of the day at home since we have 4 other children and no family in the area. I’m hoping that I can get some recovery rest at some point because how I am currently, I have zero energy 😞

My health is tanking

Baby is 34 weeks today, and I feel like I’m about to die. I can’t eat anything, or heartburn feels like it’s clawing my chest out. I can’t sleep because of heartburn and constant Braxton Hicks. It feels like my belly is always hard, always hurting. I’ve been getting so little sleep the past few weeks I easily fall asleep just sitting up. I can’t stand! Like, not more than a few seconds. My legs gave out yesterday while I was just trying to prep lunch. I think I’m going to die! How can I last three more weeks?

Any chess girlies here?

You’re white and it’s your move. How would you solve this?

This was Duolingo’s daily puzzle yesterday, I’m just a bit confused how the checkmate works because black king can easily move out of check at the end

Twins

This is My 4th pregnancy.

Dull ache on left side 10 weeks and 3 days pregnant

I’m 10 weeks and 3 Days and I’m getting a dull ache on the left hand side, I haven’t had any bleeding or anything but the ache is there enough to notice what shall I do?

Heartburn/vomiting during third trimester

Anyone else suffering/ suffered with heartburn so bad it makes you vomit ?
I’m 27 and a half weeks pregnant and heartburn has started from around 2 weeks ago now, didn’t have it with my first born but this time around it’s that bad that I can’t help but vomit.
It just feels so uncomfortable and exhausting, anyone got any tips on how to manage it/ ease it?

Rolling baby

My baby just learned to roll from her back to her stomach but I haven’t left her on her tummy long enough to let her roll back onto her back because when she’s on her tummy she lifts her head until it hurts and she cries or it falls down and she picks it back up and fusses. I always just put her back on her back for her because I don’t like seeing her struggle. When did your baby roll back onto their back from their tummy? Is there anything I can do to help her learn?
