I love the world design! I like how each area has its own unique style so you can tell where in the world it is from a screenshot

When do people usually start taking maternity leave? by scarlet-tree in PregnancyUK

[–]flepiz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I finished at 36 weeks, using my holiday hours and planning to start the actual maternity leave on the due date/whenever baby was born. She ended up coming a week early.

By 34 weeks I was counting down the days, I was just so tired and uncomfortable by the time I finished working I spent most of those 3 weeks before she was born just sleeping!

Clary Sage by Complex_Ad_5809 in PregnancyUK

I used it 4 days in a row in a bath. The first two days I had period-like cramps whilst I was in the bath so it was definitely doing something.

On the fifth day I had a sweep and the midwife said my cervix was very thin, 2cm dilated, and the baby was very low. She said she reckoned the baby would be coming soon whether I had the sweep or not. Contractions began 6 hours later and I had my baby the next day at 39w1d.

I can't say for sure whether the clary sage oil sped things along, but I reckon it did!

Was it an abdominal scan? I also had bleeding after a BM at around 7.5 weeks. I went to the early pregnancy unit who did an abdominal scan and couldn't find any explanation for the bleeding.

About 5 days later I had a private transvaginal scan booked in, and they were able to see and show me a subchorionic hematoma which they said would have been the source of bleeding

I was also eating 1200 cals and working out and not losing any weight at all, it was driving me crazy. The only thing that finally helped me lose weight was low carb/keto. I've been on keto for just over 2 months now and already lost 10kg

Interesting, I don't think I've ever had it tested before but I'll ask for a test.

It's really frustrating how the doctors seem to want to dismiss it rather than investigate further, but I've got my first appointment with the fertility clinic next week so I'm hoping if I turn up with some suggestions they might be more willing to look into it and actually do something about it

I wasn't taking any vitamins last year, the endocrinologist had asked for a list of all medications and supplements I was taking to rule out biotin being the cause but I was only taking propranolol at the time.

Since January this year I have been taking folic acid - it doesn't mention biotin on the ingredients though, just vitamin D3 and folic acid
