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?!

Pains 😢

Guys im just a little worried, I keep getting weird pain when I sneeze or cough, especially when im sat or leaning to the side.
Anyone else had these little twinges/stabs of pain ans been okay x

Hydration

I feel like no matter how much water i drink i am not in taking enough.
I wake up feeling as if i am the one in the house who had a wild night at with no water. I just feel defeated and thirsty with a hangover, kinda sucks and I’m still only 11wks and some days.

how?

how are you all getting on with your life during morning sickness? i literally can’t move without having to lay back down 😩😩

2nd time mum , possible implantation bleeding

We’re currently TTC baby #2 I’m on cycle day 25. My usual cycle is 31-33 days without fail but this morning when I wiped I had small smear of red claret blood. It’s totally gone now and that’s all that it was. I’ve been monitoring it all morning and I put a pad on so I could check but so far nothing since. Could that have possibly been implantation bleeding??? I never had that with my first baby. Just seems so odd.

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

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.

Heartburn

Ooooooh the heartburn - been waking up a lot in the middle of the night drowning in stomach acid. What tips and tricks worked for you?

Is diarrhea common in the third trimester?

I'm at the start of my third trimester and without being too crude, I have had liquid stools for the last 4/5 days. I mentioned it to the midwife a few days ago and she appeared to be surprised and said if it continued to contact my GP or a midwife, at this point it had been happening for 2 days minimum. Is this normal?

Extremely vivid nightmares?

I’m currently 7 weeks PP and the wee one has been going through his 6-8 week crisis so I’m extra tired but the last couple of nights I’ve started having horribly and extremely vivid nightmares all related to baby - to the point I will wake up talking or crying or doing sudden movements. Anyone experienced something similar? Tonight I didn’t even remember falling asleep in between feeds and almost thought I had woken the baby up from how badly I jerked

Are these normal symptoms?

I’m currently 7 weeks with baby #2. Haven’t seen an obgyn bc im currently waiting to get approved for insurance. I’m very uncomfortable like my back hurts sometimes when im sitting for too long my sides hurt when I do a lot of movement, and just overall. I never had any symptoms like this with babygirl so this is definitely new to me. Unsure if this is even normal this early 😕

Pelvic girdle

Anyone who has this can you advise on what helps as I’ve been in hospital tonight and they have said I have it much help would be appreciated 🥰

Baby bump

Hey :)
Idk if anyone else has had this , I’m on the plus side and currently 30/31 weeks and I don’t feel like I a obvious bump. I can see that I’m getting bigger but my tummy isn’t getting as rounded as I thought it would. It’s also my first pregnancy so I expected to have a bump of some kind so I’m not letting it bother me to much but part of me wants it to be obvious that I’m pregnant and not look like I’m putting on weight😂

Help !!!

Last night my husband and I had sex and after that my stomach was tightening and I’ve been nauseous all day my back hurts my pelvis hurts I’m 38 w 3 days ..

Does anyone feel like this?

I’m feeling pretty fatigued and achy today. Kinda like I’m coming down with something but it’s not actual sickness. Anyone feeling like this at week 31? Could it be the result of baby growing ? Man, I need a nap😅

Headaches??

I’m 6+1 today, and I’ve had an awful headache all evening!! On my right side, I can feel it behind my ear, eye and nose.

Anyone else experience headaches?

Motivation🥹❤

Hey mamas, I have 4 baby boys and iM currently pregnant right now. I have not been motivated to do anything, becaise of my nausea...🥹 I definitely dont want to make that an excuse, but that's literally my only excuse. When your puking all day, cant keep nothing down. That's draining. What would you do?

Feeling IUD?

I had an IUD placed a week ago today ive found now and again with bowl movements or if ive crouched down for a little while once i get up i can feel it slightly its hard to explain what it feels like best i could describe is like if you get a tampon that just didnt sit right ?

Sometimes i get a shooting pain if i move awkwardly but its few and far between..

I cant feel anything but the strings if i try

I am currently on my first cycle with it if that makes a diffrence ?

They have said to come back in 6 weeks for a checkup but im only on week one so dont want to be going to get checked if its normal ?

Second degree tear and sitting on the toilet🫠

My baby is 7 weeks old tomorrow, I had a natural birth but got a second degree tear and had other stitches for a vaginal wall repair. I'm mostly healed day to day but the sitting position when sat on the toilet causes uncomfortable pain and I can only sit for a minute or two before having to stand up which is obviosuly hard whilst trying to go to the loo😩
I had a step stool so my feet are flat on something as I'm short and they don't touch the floor but is there anything else i can be doing to nake it more comfortable or is this just my life now

Anyone
