I'm soooooo uncomfortable

I'm 32 weeks and am just so hideously uncomfortable. I mean I've been pretty uncomfortable the whole way through, what with the morning sickness, insomnia and SPD like symptoms (which seem to be in a lull thank goodness) but the last week or so my bump has reached epic proportions and it's not even comfortable to sit on the sofa, let alone sleep (sleep - I remember that...). It's so big and hard, I can't bend over, or even sit at a 90 degree angle. I'm fed up with being at work (sat at a desk), driving, and can't do much in the evenings, trying to do stuff for or with my toddler is hard work, changing nappies, bath time etc (and that's with DH doing most of it, I'm doing the bare minimum). I'm so fed up and just need to whinge, poor DH is having to do everything and I feel so bad.

I'm here!

I am 34+2 with dc3 and fed up! I want to meet my baby and get on with it all! Luckily my boys are 6 and 4 so no lifting or bending but i am a childminder and still working throughout the hols so tired from that.

I have mild SPD- its really bad at night and in the mornings but once i've got moving for the day it eases up.

I hate my sofas too because they are too soft, too low and too uncomfortable! I end up sat forward or sat on the coffee table most of the time!

Also so midiwfe this morning and i have glucose in my wee which has put a bit of a swerve on the home birth i'm planning.

Feel free to moan some more!

38 weeks, hot and huge!

Little one has kicked my ribs out now and is merrily sticking his feet in the least pleasant positions.

You do seem to have been pregnant for aaaages....

Sorry, that didn't help, did it?

MassiveBumperlicious · 27/07/2010 20:49

Oh dear dancing, is it a permanent scupper of your HB?

Know the feeling porcelain, I am bruised inside!

I can't tell how I'm doing for size but every time I tell someone I still have 2 months to go they do this

Is that to me wallace? You're not the first on here to have said that! I promise you it's only been 32 weeks, though I look like an elephant, I don't have the gestational period of one.

Do you think it is because I have whinged a lot? Maybe that's why it seems like longer in which case I should be ing

It was to you, sorry Most of the time on MN you find out someone is preg, then a few weeks later their baby is turning one and it's like wtf how did that happen...

If it makes you feel better I'm only 23 weeks preg and have soooo much longer to go than you!

I'm hoping not as she thinks it could have been a blip- my sample was last thing at night and i'd been munching away on chocolate so she's told me to just watch my sugar intake for now. I have had previous big babies (10lb +) so not amused that this could make it worse!

MummyFifi · 28/07/2010 14:01

I'm so sorry to hear you are all uncomfortable, and MassiveBumperlicious with a toddler to look after! You are a soldier Please can I join in with the sympathy? 31 weeks, can't bend over and my back is killing me!!!! The thought of another 9 weeks of feeling this uncomfortable makes me want to cry!!! My desk at work is killer, I just want to go on mat leave now

MummyFifi · 28/07/2010 14:03

Oh and LO has taken to kicking me in the bladder intermittently throughout the day, deep, deep joy.

peppapighastakenovermylife · 28/07/2010 15:14

38 weeks...baby using bladder as punch bag. 4 yr old, nearly 2 yr old...just want to cry into my chocolate bar

MassiveBumperlicious · 28/07/2010 19:00

Sympathies and chocolate all round (though dancingonmybladder you'll have to abstain for now, have some sugar free banana bread instead ).

I'm wondering if a lot of my discomfort is braxton hicks? I can't remember what they are like or when you get them but when I saw the MW today she was having a prod around and said I was getting a BH. I'd just assumed the hardness was the baby getting in an awkward position, but maybe it is BHs.

Remember ladies, no chocolate you aren't eating for 2!

37 weeks, 2.5 yo and house renovations underway so regardless of not being able to bend - I still have to sodding bend or suffer from dust inhalation - and my dh has lost the main part of the hoover so am only able to hoover using the small bit that you do skirting boards with.

Oh and during the house renovations, ordered a sink and tap for the loo, idiots in the shop ordered the bath filler so have had to run around today with dd to try and find an immediate replacement which is not nearly what I would have liked!

Oh and sleep? what the hell is that? back ache? gentle period like pains for braxton hicks.............Oh man and being starving hungry but not able to eat very much because of the sodding indigestion.

Doodleydoo, God, building work with a 2.5 year old - I remember that all too well. But I wasn't pregnant at the time, so poor you. Is it going to be finished before baby comes or not?

I am 28 weeks and starting to feel it now, and I just can't stop myself from eating chocolate and things like that, so annoyed with myself. And the kicks/general rummaging are making me feel a bit queasy actually - he's doing lots of it down by my c-section scar, so not v pleasant actually.

Doodleydoo · 28/07/2010 20:10

Urhm finished, that was meant to be 2 weeks ago , have told them to finish what is left and forget the other plans as I can't deal with the dust.

All not great I have to say, feeling sorry for myself as I just can't do anything around the house even if I wanted to. Actually called a cleaning agency today and said I wanted them to come and clean as by the time this work has finished I am soooo not going to be able to move at all. And they keep turning the hot water off so all aches and pains have to wait until the water has heated up.

Suppose you could say it was my own fault for wanting to get the work done but frankly its this tough with a toddler (who is coughing like mad because of the dust) can't do it with a newborn too!

Sorry slightly hijacked - am off to find mint magnums and eat for at least 3 but think dh has finished them!
