Anyone else due in August? I'm pregnant with my first and feel as though it's dragging now. Yesterday had my first measuring with the midwife and slightly below average. Just counting down the weeks until Mat leave as my backs in pieces from each shift 😣 x

Hi, yes, due in August with second one and am feeling rough.

I’m due August too! And snap again I was slightly below average on the first measuring the other day. But as it’s my first baby I’m kind of putting it down to that as takes longer for stomach to stretch etc so I’ve heard..

My second is also due in August and I’m getting slower and more tired. Reflux and constipation are continuing unfortunately!

Yeah I'm starting my Mat leave 4 weeks before due date too. I have holidays I also have to use up so I'm taking two weeks from June 16 which will take me into July when I start May leave straight after.
How is everyone coping? It's my first and I got a shock last week I noticed some stretch marks under my nipples 😢 I've always been quite flat chested and my boobs have grew so much. Bio Oil is my best friend at the moment x

My leave starts early June. None of my bras really fit anymore even tho I’ve been buying bigger sizes, need new clothes just in general too!
Getting more tired and been waking up with cramp in my legs oh the joys 😂
Anyone bought much baby stuff yet? I’m getting there albeit slowly

Yup I'm due end Aug. Taking annual leave of a week before maternity which I'm taking 2 weeks before due date so last work day is 2nd Aug. Also my first and im bored to death.

Does anyone feel like they can't stop eating even when they don't feel like they need any more food? I get dizzy if I don't eat for an hour. I am also on iron tablets for iron deficiency, which probably is one of the reasons why I'm dizzy.

Yup I am an eating machine
