Thought I'd just make this thread as these times are very lonely especially when pregnant. Really just for a conversation and to see how everyone's pregnancy is going and how far along they are or even if they are a mum already.

I'm currently already a mum with a soon to be 3 year old next month and due a second baby in July. Currently 14+4 and I'm feeling exhausted going up and down my stairs now and I have little energy. Also clogged up with nasal congestion. The joys 🤭
Really do love being pregnant though.

I would love to see if other people answer this thread to see how far along they are and if people are having the same symptoms or maybe round about the same stage of their pregnancy 🥰

Hey! I'm 13 weeks at the moment and have all the same symptoms!! Especially the congestion. I also still have horrendous morning sickness hanging around but hoping it will ease a bit soon!!

Second pregnancy is knackering! I am a bit further along than you - 29 weeks - and my nasal congestion hasn't eased. I bought some nose straps for breathing more easy and it has helped so much with my sleep. I recommend!

@Firsttimemumm31

Oh no that is honestly the worst feeling ever!
I had morning sickness from about 7 weeks and only ended last week , not to say it won't happen again but I hope it eases soon for you because it completely floors you 😑 sending lots of love 🥰

@Glitterazzi

It's horrendous, feel like you can't breath constantly and wakening you up during the night blowing your bloody nose 24/7 worse than the peeing constantly 😂 Thankyou for the recommendation I'll defo need to try as it's breaking my sleep then up early with my son ☹️ sending love 🥰

Hi im the same 15+4 today and not feeling anything yet. 4th pregnancy but 3rd baby after a mmc of twins last July so feel like I should be feeling something. Nausea has eased this week but absolutely knackered and no energy. Headaches and stuffy nose. I've a 10 year old son and my daughter is 2 in April.

Glitterazzi · 22/01/2021 17:49

It really is horrendous! I hope they work for you, sometimes they pop off but they do tend to last the night and have saved me so much sleep. Big hugs to you x

Hope that link works and you get some relief!

THATbasicSNOWFLAKE · 22/01/2021 20:47

It worked thank you!

Glitterazzi · 22/01/2021 20:59

They're not very glamorous - my OH has taken to calling me Robbie Fowler because apparently he used to wear them on the pitch 🤣 oh the joys of pregnancy!!

THATbasicSNOWFLAKE · 22/01/2021 22:53

Oh well me snorting and trumpetting my nose is not glamorous either Grin

Hi girls hope yous are all feeling better! Or that little more energy!

Thought I'd come on here rather than making another post.
I had anemia with my first born then had problems ever since and went away after taking my prescription tablets.
Recently I've been having every symptom as before for anemia , do you think I could phone up my doctors and ask for an appointment or do I need to wait each time for my bloods to get taken at the hospital. Not really been informed with a lot due to coronavirus and the way the hospitals are working just now. Confused

You've got quite a way to go before your next blood test if you were going the standard route (28 weeks). I would call them and say you are concerned that you are at risk again of having anaemia and would like to be checked. Could you call your GP and see if it could be done that way?
