36 weeks feel like I’m dying

Anyone else felt like this?

I just feel so run down. I’ve got zero energy, feel constantly sick, my tummy has been going mad and I’ve been on and off the toilet. I feel like I can’t breathe, I’m so fatigued eventhough I’ve slept loads. If I try stand up or do anything I feel like I’m going to collapse. This has sent my anxiety mad and I’m convinced I am actually dying.

I honestly feel like my body is giving up on me. Hip pain has been insanely bad too (I have PGP).

Is this normal towards the end? I’ve got a midwife appt later this afternoon but I honestly feel so ill I don’t know if I can get myself there 😬 This has all came on over the last 3-4 days and today I just feel like utter crap!

This doesn't sound normal.

Can you call your GP or midwife and let them know how you are feeling?

34 weeks and with you on the feeling like balls, can't breathe, hip pain and fatigue.
I can't sleep at night so I'm napping during the day. I don't know how women work until they pop!

Listen to your body OP; please try and talk to / see a doctor asap.

Definitely speak to your midwife, if you can't make it down get her on the phone. I completely sympathise. I felt awful towards the end of my pregnancy. I had PGP too so I couldn't sleep properly. I was exhausted, hormonal, had a giant baby squashing all my internal organs (including my lungs) and had by this point had thrush for 7/8 months.
It could be normal but you're best to run it all past a professional so they can double check.

sorry - accidentally pressed post

The tiredness is worse than it ever was in the first trimester and the sickness, nausea, cramps and diarrhoea are back! Some days I feel really low as I feel like it must be my age (37). My body just doesn't feel like it's coping well with pregnancy at all and I cant wait for it to be over with tbh.

Since being pregnant I've had a horrible UTI, was in hospital with a grumbling appendix for 3 days and then a filling fell out and got infected so I had to have a tooth pulled on Monday. I honestly feel like I'm falling apart.

Sorry you're feeling like crap too. The end is in sight!
