Hi everyone,
Just a little bit of a rant - apologies in advance.
I’m 22 weeks and we’re absolutely over the moon. Family are being very supportive and I’ve luckily had quite a nice pregnancy so far.
Recently I’ve been having serious heartburn and every time I eat something it feels like it’s moving really slowly down (almost like it’s getting stuck, and then the heartburn appears).
I was told that I have a tilted uterus and also a low lying placenta.....I read that the low lying placenta can have an effect on iron levels and therefore can possibly effect energy levels.
However, not sleeping very well due to heartburn and overall feeling a lot more tired, I really don’t feel like myself. I seem to have a persistent cough which is also keeping me up at night especially.
However, I’m finding a few people almost telling me what to do and what not to do, but more in the way of how to bring up our baby. I’m generally someone who will just shrug this type of comment off but it’s really driving me crazy.
Part of me wants to turn around and say ‘look, I’m absolutely shattered, I’ve come out for a bit chat after being at work, we’ll bring him up how we want to - so in the nicest way p-off’. I’m not one for confrontation or being abrupt, and I feel like I’m almost battling myself to stay calm while these people tell me what to do. It’s actually making me feel more drained.
Admittedly I have been feeling quite emotional the last 3-4 weeks.
Anyway, I just felt like I wanted to have a bit of a vent to release my mind of some tension.
Thanks for reading xx
