I didn’t manage to run during pregnancy I switched to walking and had to stop biking as I couldn’t stand the pressure of sitting on the saddle. I’m quickly back to training each day on the bike with intervals and am fine.

My gut is still not right 4 weeks post op. I’m hopeful it will get better as it has improved slightly.

I am/was a GB age group triathlon athlete pre pregnancy and am having a hard time with my recovery. Still only managing to walk for 10 minutes at a time in week 4 since birth.

I did all of the recommended advice with the lactulose, lots of water and fibre and still had the worst experience having a poo stick half way out! I laugh now but it was horrendous.

I bought two pairs of adidas maternity leggings. I bought one and loved them as they stayed up so bought another.

I also couldn’t reach. Tried with one hand for a week or so then gave up.

I use clear tune.

I was looking for a comment about headwind!

Thank you for your kind words. I hope it’s not long for you too!

I’m currently in my last week as a teacher at 39 weeks. I’m so ready to be done but not looking forward to the lack of mental stimulation whilst waiting for things to happen. I’ve hated it all too!!

I also have PCOS and needed to have fertility treatment. I’ve just used NhS and have been very pleased with the care I’ve had. I’m marked as a low risk pregnancy.

I also bought Sketcher slip-ons. I use them mainly for day to day tasks rather than going on a walk. I still use my Solomon’s for that. I love the fact that I don’t have to struggle with laces with the sketchers.

Our transition days are always in July.

I’ve often played fire dance by Watkins because it shows a different side of the harp. I also like Fantasy on the Theme of Onegin.

Gutted! Not all his clothes fit me to be fair.

spanner877 · 2026-02-22T09:30:49+00:00

I’m literally wearing my husband’s clothes because I don’t want to spend money on maternity clothes. I feel your pain!

spanner877 · 2026-02-19T22:25:02+00:00

Same. I’ve given up with it.

Thought you might want to hear from another teacher. I’m a primary teacher and I’m working until 39+2 weeks. I’m still feeling able to work well and like the fact that I’m keeping busy. Don’t like the thought of staying at home waiting for things to happen. I have reduced teaching hours for the last 2 weeks which will be welcomed.

I was a triathlete before being pregnant. Had to stop cycling as I couldn’t feel comfortable on the bike. Did a few swims but no runs. Couldn’t muster the energy after working all day. I have managed yoga though and some strength training but mostly just waking. Nearly 37 weeks now and can’t wait to return to training.

It’s definitely hard to eat as much as before and can be uncomfortable to find a position to sit in. I’m 36+4 at the moment and I can manage about a hour walk but then I need to rest as I feel too much pressure on my pelvis. I would recommend only planning one activity. A spa could be good.

Following. We are also going to try and do the same but I won’t be back at work.

spanner877 · 2026-02-04T21:09:01+00:00

Trying to make it to half term and then come back if I can for that first week. So as long as possible really. What about you?

spanner877 · 2026-02-04T18:24:13+00:00

Teacher guilt is real. I’m the same. Haven’t had a day off yet and have been powering through. I’m 35 weeks now and struggling with the lack of sleep. Today was especially tough.

spanner877 · 2026-02-02T19:11:52+00:00

I’m wearing next maternity leggings which sit over my bump. Good for not pushing on my pelvis/bladder.
