I am more than fed up, I'm in pain and in a bit of a panic.
Firstly, especially at night, I'm really struggling to empty my bladder. Just get a tiny trickle and have to keep going back and back. It's so frustrating, like having wee constipation! I daren't really drink anything as it feels so uncomfortable to have a full bladder and not be able to go! I'm doing things like getting on all fours and sticking my bum in the air and hoping the baby to move out of the way so I can wee!
With regards to walking, by about 5pm I have this leg cramp thing which is stopping me from walking. All I can do is crawl or hobble about for about 3 steps and then sit down. It often carries on at night even when I am lying down and I have to lay in just the right position. It is happening during the day more and more and I don't feel comfortable walking by myself. It feels like this nerve pain is worse the 'lower' the baby feels.
I've got myself in a right panic about the birth and these wee and walking problems! My first birth was fine and I was able to be pretty active but if I get these leg cramps in labour I think I'll be buggered!
First baby was born at 38w+6 but I feel fairly convinced I'll be induced this time. Things just don't seem right
Is anyone else struggling with this sort of thing?
