TMI - diarrhoea and sulfar burps!

Anyone else had this? I read it can be your body preparing for labour but for a few hours now I’ve been having the worst diarrhoea and cramps and those gross sulfar burps 🤢 I’m 38+2, worried it may have been something I ate but who knows! It’s 2am and my tummy is still gargling at me! Pregnancy is rough…

2nd pregnancy

When did your little one start kicking in your second pregnancy? I’m 17 weeks today and can feel bubbles popping and like pressure pushing up against my belly but still no kicks yet.

Bump

I’m nearly 21 weeks pregnant and I have a B shaped bump 🥺 just wondering if anyone else is the same and if it’s okay, when I’ve googled it, it says I have to be overweight or have a anterior placenta. I’d say I was probably a 12-14 and I’ve been checked I haven’t got a anterior placenta xx

Heartburn

Just ranting because I can’t sleep. Everyone told me that heartburn would stop once baby dropped. I’m officially past my due date, baby has dropped and somehow the heartburn is getting worse! I’ve tried Gaviscon and it didn’t help at all. I’m so ready for this baby to arrive 🤦🏻‍♀️

For the past week and a half I’ve felt the worst that I’ve ever felt. I feel so poorly, my nose is congested and I can’t eat anything or put anything next to my nose. I’m barely getting any sleep. I’m so drained and I just feel so sick.

Midwife’s haven’t checked my pad and have told me not to worry but I’m literally panicking and worried I’m losing my baby.

Has anyone started their periods again?

I’m six week pp and I finished bleeding around 4 weeks. Which I was surprised at as all my sister bled for 6 weeks. Anyway I’ve started to have spotting when I wipe and pink steaks of blood. Could this be the start of my periods return or is it likely to be pp bleeding still?

24/7 nausea

I’m basically feeling like this all the time and I don’t want anything to eat or feel hungry but if I don’t eat every 3 or so hours I just feel even worse and have to lie down. Luckily I’m off work! I’m taking B6 and told the doctor about it but that haven’t suggested medication at this point. I’m just so tired and ...

Dull painful ache?

I've woken up with a dull painful/uncomfortable ache right under my boob.i thought maybe baby's foot was up there but I've moved around trying to get him to move and it still isn't gone. Is it normal? It's not excruciating but it's enough to stop me in my tracks. I also feel really sick and just 'ugh' 😒. I'm 34 weeks
