Hey just wondered if there are any other mumma to be around the same weeks as me or not either 🙂 just wondering how others are feeling. I'm almost 18 and weeks with my second baby and I feel like poo 😓 I'm having a lot of headaches and right now I feel so exhausted and weak. Husband works a lot so I'm home with my 2 year old DD and really struggling with everything.

Hey @LLLTB I'm 17+3 today! Right now I'm on meds for heartburn, spent the 15 weeks sleeping sitting up, after the morning sickness started to subside in week 13 the indigestion kicked in, utterly miserable. Problem is the medication gives me severe headaches, ones that keep me awake at night until I pass out due to exhaustion, can't win!!

First baby for me, cannot comprehend going through this with a toddler. Regarding husband wise, he's not much help even with him around, makes comments like 'we'll get through this together' and 'the time has gone really quick'. No shit son, you're not the one hanging on for dear life wishing the symptoms away! He does mean well but he can't help lol even his back massages are half arsed, perhaps I should get him to do a course Hmm

When is your 20 week scan? Mines on the 3rd, I think I'm starting to show too but it's weird as I haven't felt any movement yet!

Hey @Nesski men will never understand what women go through with being pregnant etc. It's so hard! Luckily my husband is amazing when he's here but he does work long hours.
My mental health is taking a battering at the moment I'm so isolated and don't have many people to talk to if any at all. My 20 week scan is on the 11th so a little while yet. First time you won't feel movements till 20/22 weeks but 2nd time you know what it feels like so it happens earlier. I'm showing a little but I have a mumma belly already so it's hard to tell😂

20/22 weeks is so far away, I wish I could feel him earlier! Where are you based in the UK? Are you able to go out for walks? Any friends or family you can reach out to? Can you form a bubble at all with anyone? Does your husband know about this?

I’m 17+3 too with number 3. I’m showing a lot already but not feeling any movements. Ironically I feel physically great but it’s making me worry loads as if I didn’t know I was pregnant and didn’t have a bump I don’t think I would have a clue! Hoping to feel some movements soon. My 20 week is on 10th.
So sorry for those feeling rubbish - really hope a corner turns soon

@Nesski I'm in Derbyshire don't have many people to talk to I don't have my own family to talk to as they aren't the best tbh. I have a few friends but I don't want to bother anyone with my issues. Walks wise I've just not had the energy to go out anywhere. I'd love to form a bubble but the in-laws only care about "the rules" my husband does know and tries his best to help me.

@Isit2021yetplease if it weren't for the insomnia and headaches I'd probably forget I was pregnant. I've not had any of the usual problems ie. morning sickness and the first trimester wasn't that hard at all. I'm more tired now that I was 😓

I’m 18+5 and at home with my 10 month old DS whilst DH works long hours.

I’m on ‘annual leave’ (we didn’t have any childcare) until my next mat leave starts.

I’m struggling with my hips/back DS isn’t mobile yet so lots of lifting. The sickness has improved dramatically though so not complaining!

Xx
