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

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?

Growing pains

Is growing pain a real thing in kids. My daughter keeps complaining about aches and pain. Spoke to her doctor she suggested this. Never heard of it before

Xonvea

Hi all, I’ve been on all different medications for sickness, last 2 days I’ve been sick a few times. I have been on Xonvea for about a week now, for 5 days I wasn’t sick just nauseated. Last 2 days due to the sickness the GP put me on max 4 Xonvea a day, however today I’ve been sick twice, slept literally all day, I’ve seen 4 hours on the clock today, feel so nauseous to the point I’m too scared to move. Did anyone else go through this?

Baby kicks

Is anyone feeling kicks yet as I’m not ☹️

I’m 33 weeks pregnant according to my due date, 36 weeks pregnant according to my growth scans

For the past 2 weeks I’ve been having very liquid 💩 to the point I will go toilet for a pee but 💩 will come out as well. A few days ago my belly was hurting I assumed it was because I’d ate too much or not enough idk. Today I’ve felt the same stomach pain that stays for a few minutes then goes. I don’t want to make any unnecessary trips to the hospital as I have an almost 2 year old who needs me. But if anyone has had any similar issues did you find out what was wrong? I still feel my baby move constantly.

Reduced movements

So I'm 37+1wks, was in triage last week due to unexplained bleeding, was sent home as consultant was "not concerned". Mentioned a change in my baby's movements then and was fobbed off with "she's probably sleeping", have felt her less each day since and movements seem weaker. Feel like I should go back, but don't want to waste their time if it's nothing. Like she's still occasionally wiggling but nowhere near as much nor as strong as say a week or 2 ago... Had bad contractions last night too (also being on & off for about a week but at its worst last night) and lost my plug over a week ago. Cold drinks, exercise, sugary foods, poking her, etc doesn't do much either. She used to beat up my partner when he touched my bump but even with that she just kinda rolls away from him and stops, instead of giving him a good kicking party.

Second child, just can't shake the feeling that something is off... Has anyone else had this? Gunna call triage in a bit to explain to them too. Personally feeling exhausted, I'm so over being pregnant too which doesn't help, just can't help but feel like I'm going to get fobbed off and sent home again.
