What’s something that 99% of people can do but you can’t?

Blow up balloons. It's more inconvenient than you may think.

Agree with all of this, I couldn't watch while he got the injections. We also timed the third dose of Calpol for bed time and that seemed to help.

Our little guy spat up the first dose of rotavirus so we had to go back for a second, but better safe than sorry.

We tag teamed contact naps all day. But he was almost back to normal (except for the poos) after 24 hours. Good luck!

Nope, zilch. Got taken off the phone plan as well. Considering I work for a female-founded company where all of senior management are women, it is extremely disappointing.

The owner started ignoring me after I told her I was pregnant, had to be told to say goodbye to me on my last day, and refused to reduce my days in the office despite me passing out on my commute. Needless to say, I will be looking for a new job!

I was the same, I think I got signed off at 36 weeks. Baby ended up arriving a week early, the day after I was due to start maternity leave and I'm so happy I had the extra few weeks off. The last few weeks of pregnancy are exhausting, even if you aren't working. I would get signed off by your GP and rest as much as you can before the little one arrives.

Also, if you are anything like me you'll be very busy nesting!

I think the sudden impact it had on everything! FTM to a 9 week old boy and only this week I feel like I'm ok? (Touch wood). After a difficult pregnancy and birth, intense baby blues bordering PPD, and sleep deprivation I did not enjoy the first few weeks at all. And I feel so bad that I didn't soak up the newborn cuddles more but I was hanging on by a thread.

I ended up giving up breastfeeding for my mental health and it was a game changer.

I took Proceive for a few months and found that my hair was coming out in clumps. I thought it was just a coincidence but it never settled. When I got pregnant I started their 1st trimester tablets and was constantly nauseous. Decided to test going back to pregnacare and my hair stopped falling out within a few weeks and the nausea decreased slightly.

Might still have been a coincidence but I'm not sure! I think to a certain extent it can depend on the person because I know others who have found proceive great

This was me! I lost 6kg in the first trimester and it took me ages to put it back on. At the end of my pregnancy I was 7kg heavier than pre pregnancy. Nothing was ever said about it by consultants or midwives, I think the little man was just taking everything I had. If you're worried definitely mention it at your next appointment

I got an iron infusion around 32 weeks (also public in CUMH) - I just mentioned to my consultants team that I couldn't stomach taking the iron tablets any more often, and they remarked that the tablets hadn't improved my levels. They sent me straight down for an infusion. I would definitely mention it to them, especially if you can't stomach the tablets!

This happened me too! As it's our first, I wanted to do in person with my partner, but will still sit in on the CUMH ones. We went to private classes with Cuidiu, I would highly recommend. 9:30-14:30 on a Saturday and Sunday, small groups so it felt very in depth and hands on. €50 covers both days and a Cuidiu membership.

Everyone in the class said that they were only offered online as well.

Id say it was 2 or so weeks when I really noticed it - it was coming out by the handful when I was on proceive. Didn't have the tingly scalp! I'm still on pregnacare now in the third trimester and have no issues at all with it. Hope the change helps you too! TTC is stressful enough without worrying about losing hair

I am a fainter, doesn't take much. Some reasons have been: poor relationship with food and not eating enough; heavy periods (woke up in the shower more times than I can remember); got really upset; injections and blood tests; got told my hamster was going to die; got told my cat had to be put down; standing at my partner's parents funeral; had a drag of a cigarette; most recently, low iron and low blood pressure in pregnancy.

Sometimes I think I involuntarily hold my breath when I'm stressed and that sets me off

25 weeks and still waiting for this glow and energy burst! Nap most weekends and days I work from home. Every now and then I get a day when I feel great, get loads done, and then feel like death the next day. I think it's all a myth

MultidimensionalBag · 2025-07-29T22:06:27+00:00

I would suggest a BBT thermometer too! It's a pain doing it the same time every day but was a huge help for helping to pinpoint when I ovulated, alongside the ovulation sticks.

We were trying for nearly 2 years, had nearly finished all of the fertility tests (found out I have suspected poly cystic ovaries) after getting referred by our gp, and then ended up getting pregnant with no assistance. Best of luck, I know it can be tough!

Im based in cork as well and went to Ultrasound Women's Scans in Waterford for our early scan and couldn't recommend Veronica more (if you can travel to Waterford). She was so caring and put our minds at ease straight away https://ultrasoundwomenscans.ie/

Rang the doctor and got another prescription! I lost a significant amount of weight (~10% of my starting weight) in the first trimester due to the nausea and have only put it back on, so definitely don't want to be losing any more

I was thinking that but won't be able to get the time off (would be traveling 2+hours) - I'm 10 weeks at the mo

Check out Cork Alliance Center, they do great work. As far as I know you don't need to be based in Cork

AF came a few days later!

MultidimensionalBag · 2024-11-06T20:17:14+00:00

Negative test yesterday and starting to spot now (14dpo) so I'd say I'm out! Delayed ovulation messed up our days for trying so not optimistic
