Complete Exhaustion

I’m 23+3 today and I am absolutely exhausted all of the time at the moment, to the point where I’m taking 1 if not 2 naps a day when I’m not at work. I thought you were supposed to be full of life during the second trimester?! 😂 has anyone else been feeling like this? I feel so bloody lousy

5mpp. I had my first period in January lasted 5 days. I’m over due my period by a day. I put a tampon in 2 days before had a bit of light pink and brown. Next day I had light pink very little. Took a test both negative.

I took a clear blue and first response. I am now 12dpo. Like it doesn’t feel like a period. I’m also bf. Anyone else had this?

I was excited to see what weird things my brain would come up with but it hasn’t happened😂 I mean, the only thing I want to drink is strawberry & kiwi flavour bottled water, I’m going through at least 2 big bottles a day.. I don’t think that counts as a…

Period cramps

Woke up to painful period cramps that extend to my back—feels like something is wrapping around my whole pelvis. They don’t seem to come in waves but are more consistent. My pelvis feels very activated if that makes sense haha. What’s going on lol

Sleeping positions

I’m sleeping on my left side as advised but getting terrible shoulder ache and hip ache from the pressure of staying in one position too long. Any other safe sleeping positions that anyone knows of? Any tips? Thanks

Crying on the bottle 🍼

Anyone having issues with their baby screaming crying when you put the bottle to their mouth?? We went through this phase a while ago and it settled but now we’re back here again. She is developing a cough so maybe that’s thrown things out of whack but literally she will freak out, take ages to settle we repeat that...

Induction Anxiety

I don’t know how the heck you’re supposed to sleep before you’re induced. It’s like now that I know there’s an actual end date coming in the next week, I just lay here thinking about all the things I need to do this week. I drink magnesium and do yoga before bed but the insomnia is definitely getting worse.
