Pooping a lot in third trimester

I used to only poop once a day but ever since I got pregnant, I always have to go almost after every meal. This is especially from week20 onwards till I’m week 35 now. Any one faced the same situation? I’m eating as per normal.

hegen breast pump vs spectra

IF you're about to choose hegen breast pump vs spectra, which one? I like the portability of hegen but not sure if the suction will be as strong as spectra as I understand it’s hospital grade. If not, would you recommend other handsfree options such as imani? Also wanted to check if y’all bought the pump before baby is out? It’s quite costly and I’m not sure how my supply will be like…. All advice will be appreciated as I’m a FTM 🥹

What was the most difficult thing you felt you and your hubby had to go through postpartum or during the pregnancy? Asking as a 26w ftm. We fight alot now because I feel he’s not ready but I always wonder if anything will change or even get worse after my kid is born.

Talk to him about this, see if he can help or not My husband is not hands on so I keep reminding him, as n when I let him do the diapering and showering too

2nd hand breast pump

Is using a secondhand breast pump safe? Which parts should I replace? Looking at either spectra s1+ or hegen #FTM

Typically 2nd hand shld be ok if it's still working fine. but need to change some parts. and for spectr, definitely the flange because size also varies depending on yur nipple size. For me I can't even use the default one they give as it doesn't fit well. It needs to be fitted well, not too tight or too loose so tt u can have good suction. U can find different sizes on shopee. Also the backflow and valve may need to buy dependingon the condition. If it looks fine u wld definitely want to just do a thorough wash and sterilise one time before the first use. The tubing is fine to reuse.

Pigmentation on body

Been noticing that there’s been some big dark patches of pigmentation on my buttocks from week 19 onwards. Wondering if this is part of pregnancy and will it fade after giving birth? It’s really affecting my self confidence :(

Yes. It will go away after birth. I had big brown patches on my butt too, it faded after birth. :)

Boobs growing constantly

I’m now in my 20th week and my boobs have gone up at least one full cup or 1.5 cup sizes. I have pretty large boobs to begin with so it’s starting to scare me. I know it varies among individuals but when does your boobies stop growing? #firsttimemom

Showering after giving birth

For those of you who have followed the Chinese confinement method, did you shower after natural delivery in the hospital? I can imagine it’s gonna be messy sticky sweaty 😵‍💫

I’m 20 weeks along now and I’ve noticed that my back has weakened by a lot ever since ard week 15 onwards. Sometimes when I lie down at a half sitting/half lying down angle and my back kinda locks up and it’s hard to move. Anyone experienced the same?

it’s normal, uterus is sitting on a nerve that causes this
