Anyone in third trimester while raising a toddler? I’m 29 weeks with a 2 year old and about to fall apart. I get Braxton hicks contractions from chasing her around to try to put her to bed and I am really struggling with getting her in and out of the car seat, and generally keeping up with her.

I thought this was a Huey Lewis and the News fan bowl. My bad.

I’m having a really hard time with my changing body. 13 weeks, I don’t have too many bad side effects of pregnancy or anything so I consider myself lucky (no nausea ever etc) but I’m depressed at work, my skin is completely broken out and showing new broken face capillaries, and I’m not showing a bump yet so I just feel fat and big.

Trigger: rare illness post birth

Just sharing that I was diagnosed with postpartum preeclampsia 3 days after giving birth despite not having risk factors or preeclampsia in my pregnancy. Sharing as I had absolutely no idea about this illness.

Main things to do are check your BP everyday at least the first ten days after you give birth, and go to hospital if it's very high (over 160/110). If you get severe headache or stomach ache then also be vigilant.

Happy to answer any questions!
