Hi all,
39+6, due date is tomorrow, first baby.
I am so so fed up and just wanted to post for some support and encouragement if that’s okay!
I’ve had a rubbish pregnancy. Hyperemesis the whole time except weeks 20-23. Apart from those few weeks I’ve had 24/7 extreme nausea and vomiting most days. Was hospitalised 4 times during first 16 weeks and have tried ALL of the sickness drugs but none had much affect so just been managing it day by day.
I’ve spent most of the pregnancy on sick leave which was not how I envisaged being pregnant at all. I’ve been mainly in the house on my own all day while DH works, no family live nearby and I’ve been too ill to really have anyone over or go out. Needless to say, months on end of being alone and feeling so ill has taken its toll on my mental health too.
But, I’ve made it to the end and I’m so pleased I’m going to meet my little girl soon. I really hope it’s not too much longer though as I’m really getting close to my coping limit with the sickness and being on my own. Have had BH for a while now and some mucus but not a full show I don’t think. I’m in for a sweep on Friday and then induction at 41 weeks if nothing happens before.
Finding it tough to get any sleep and the heat is not helping with the nausea at all. It’s such a weird feeling waiting for labour, I so want the pregnancy part to be over but also scared of what labour and the birth will be like! Anyone else due soon, how are you all doing?
Thanks for reading!
