Q: Maternal Tachycardia at 31weeks - Any suggestions?

Hope everyone is doing ok, I love looking at everyone's pictures, you all look so glowing and beautiful.
I am nearly 31weeks and having a rough go. I am having such a hard time working, so tired and so much muscle and joint pain.
But the scary thing is that I have been having issues with my own heart due to this pregnancy. I had to leave work early last friday because my own heartrate was well over 150bpm, and my OB told me to go to Mat unit right away and get baby monitored.
Baby seems fine so far, but it is so stressful. I have been experiencing so much Maternal Tachycardia, has anyone else experience this?? Any suggestions??? I have an appointment with a cardiologist in about a week...so sometime yet.
Work is so tough, I just wanna curl up and sleep...but I am a nurse and cant do that.

Stretchmarks: Pls help...

I am pregnant and want to know if anyone has had any luck with skin care for stopping stretchmarks? I have heard that some are not safe to use and can harm my baby but I am so confused by which ones are ok and actually work to prevent stretchmarks, as I happily grow into my 9 month bump!

Hey! Congrats on your pregnancy, I am 3 months pregnant and have had 8 girlfriends all use this product called belli skin care, Elasticity Belly Oil that helps to prevent stretchmarks. Their doctor told them it was the safest to use, then I saw it on a current affair the other night as well. I read up all about in on their website and it talks heaps about what is safe, really interesting. None of my friends got ANY stretchmarks at all and swear by this for stopping stretch marks. I have only just started using it but so far so good! I ordered all of their other skin care for pregnancy and LOVING it. Wish you all the best for the months ahead, we are together in the skin stretch J don’t forget to join the VIP thing on their site before you order, you get a discount that way, i forgot myself but definitely worth it you get 15% off. Good luck.
