I'm hoping for some tips or reassurance, really. I'm 30 weeks pregnant with no. 3 and first two pregnancies (now aged 5 and 4) were really easy and textbook and I was full of energy right up till the end. I don't know if it's demands of life, being older, or just a third pregnancy thing, but I am really struggling this time.
Firstly, I feel huge and I'm finding walking quite uncomfortable. All the pain is in my lower back and (sorry!) my bum and it shoots up and down my legs as well. It's not that I can't walk, obviously - it is just slow and painful!
Secondly, I constantly need to wee. All the time. Waking up 5+ times at night with a bursting bladder and then I can't get comfortable so I can't fall asleep again.
Thirdly, heartburn!
Maybe I just have to accept that I'm older and knackered and suck it up that the next few weeks will be hard going. I'm just so tired and so uncomfortable - I could just cry, honestly! Every day is just a slog - with the kids, with work, with getting no sleep. I have really been struggling at work for the last two weeks, not least because of the back pain and because I keep needing to excuse myself from the most crucial points meetings to go and have a wee!
Sorry, moan over. But in all honesty, any tips will be very gratefully received.
