Disclaimer: I know I am blessed to be pregnant and that the my baby is growing well, but I need to offload as I think DH needs a break from my moaning.
Here goes.
I am fedup of:
- Testing my blood twice a day as I may get GD in later pregnancy (I'm 23 weeks). Don't get me wrong, I know I need to look after this little one, but my bloods are fine at the moment and I've been doing this for 13 weeks now!
- Being stuck in the house because my SPD is already so bad that I can't get around, any further than driving DD to and from school and the many doctors' appointments.
- Being unable to get any real sleep as I wake ever half and hour or so to change positions and try and get comfy. Poor DH often gets woken too as I need help to move.
- Not being able to run around with my DD, who is four and wonderful. IT breaks my heart to see her fetching my crutches for me and trying to 'help'.
- I couldn't get to my bereavement councelling session today and I needed to go. I want my Mum and Dad back to meet this baby.
- I had to have tomato soup for lunch as everything else is in the fridge and my pelvis and back hurt too much today to get down and rummage in there.
There's lots of other stuff, but these are the main ones and I know that they are minor in comparision.
All this has been triggered because I got out of bed this morning and there was this explosion of pain in my lower back as I stood up which made me collapse with pain - something I've never done before. I'll be honest, it scared me and I am FEDUP!
Sorry for the moan and thanks for 'listening' if you got through it.
