Had really hoped to have natural delivery this time after needing emergency section for last baby. Section scheduled today for 11th January 😣

Oi Gap, stop sitting on my jeans order and get it delivered. I'm down to two functioning pairs of maternity jeans and these fcukers have been sitting on my order in "Pending Shipment" for over a week.

I have an order with Gap and have the same problem. They have dispatched one item out of the three and the order was made over a week ago.

My back hurts.
My head hurts.
My child won't sleep.
Christmas is a pain in the arse.
I need a holiday. Or just nine hours sleep.

Waaaahhhhhhhh

Ditto, I feel the same.
9hours continuous sleep would be a Miracle.

Smothering in a cold. Can't take anything for it. Wanted to slap the man working in the chemist that told me I would have to "just ride it out". Oh sure thanks, being 30 weeks pregnant and dealing with everything on top of that, your advice makes me want to kill you.

You can take 1 paracetomal every 6 hours, max of 2 in 24 hours. You can also use vapour rub too. Had the same myself and gp and chemist told me they are fine

It's max 6 in 24 hours I think. You can take 1 or 2 at a time

ainy

paracetamol 1g can be taken every 4-6 hours with max 4g in 24 hours, it's safe in pregnancy
1g is usually 2tablets, just check the packaging

er1983

Normal paracetomal is max 2 in 24 hours, gp and chemist told me this on both pregnancies. What's the other type of paracetamol? Never heard of it

That link says it’s a max of 2 each time you take it and you should take the 2 tablets a max of 4 times in 24 hours ... so 8 tablets max in 24 hours.

ainy

Your link in the section that says what is recommended actually says what I have said above, 1-2 tablets, every 4-6 hours with max 4 doses in a day. This is the normal doses for any paracetamol.

Sorry but that's just incorrect. You've misread your own link

Thanks guys, have been taking some paracetamol already. I wish I could sleep until I feel better

Had to cancel a catch up with friends at one of their houses last minute yesterday as I got bad pelvic pain and it was hard to walk. Sent a message apologising and just went to bed...no word back from the hostess , think they're pissed off and I feel really guilty. Not making anymore plans until Jan

If you read the part where it says if pregnant, it states use the minimum dose

er1983

Here.. same as gp and midwife advice . Don't take the normal dose

So many people just don't get it. Being pregnant isn't always the glowy, magical state that everyone thinks it is :rolleyes:
I'm being pressured into going to a Christmas Party with around 20 men and I just couldn't be arsed. But of course I'll be seen as a dry****e if I dont.

It's probably terrible but when I see pregnant women now I think "god that poor woman" rather than "wow how amazing"! I felt my last few weeks on my last pregnancy so long and torturous!

I work with many men, and I haven't even made an excuse.Long past caring!!!!
Admittedly many of the men I work with have young kids so they completely get it!!!

Sorry to hear they weren't being more supportive and didn't even reply to see how you were, that's awful.

I am the only female in a workplace of all men, we had our work night out last weekend and it was actually lovely, I would have loved to have had a few drinks. I left early as the heart burn was setting in and 2 of them walked me out to my car. Blessed I work with a great bunch of lads! Lucky it wasn't this weekend as i haven't left the house all weekend feeling awful

Thanks, yeah I was a bit taken aback by it and had a hormonal crying fit yesterday. Poor husband has been so fantastic with me, at least I have him and the dogs as my friends nowadays! Youngest dog was trying to cheer me up by bringing me his toys!

Honestly I think I had the so called 'glowing phase' for around 1-2 months of the pregnancy, the rest has been a struggle...as said earlier, people don't have a clue unless they've been pregnant themselves and been hit by the downsides.

Nice colleagues to have, fair play to them. Hope you're feeling a bit better
