Anyone else fed up and want pregnancy over with?

[RockLovesMincePies]

I am 35 weeks pregnant and getting majorly fed up with the whole thing. The constant nausea, heartburn, backache, stretch marks, being too fat to bend over very far, having to get other people to take my shoes off etc etc.

And I am sooooo effing bored staying in the house most of the time because I feel too ill/tired to go out. I feel like I have turned into the most boring, moany, lazy cow on the planet and I can't wait to feel "normal" again, whatever the hell that is (can't remember anymore).

Please tell me I'm not the only one!

Hey RL - have been wondering how you've been doing! Yes, I sympathise and agree. Today (and for the next couple of days) we are moving house and I am barely up to anything - feel completely useless whilst DH does everything. Was hard enough to get on all fours just now to sort out the junk very useful bits under my bed - Had to sit down to recover!!!

The only thing that gets me through is that we're nearly there. I agree that I feel like I'll NEVER feel normal again - have forgotten what it's like actually managing to do a normal persons amount of work/chores in one day. To me, walking up the stairs takes an inordinate amount of stamina/energy now. sigh.

20 weeks, achey all over, want a large glass of wine, some brie and some nice clothes. Have to turn down invites to good stuff as unsuitable for the up the duff as involves too much time on feet or unsuitable food. (Good food show, for eg.) Have cold and can't take anything that works. Heartburn. Waiting to bloody bloom. Does that sum it up?!

Hi Angels, hope you had a lovely Christmas! I know how you feel, everything is such a bleeding effort and I am sick of getting up for the loo every bloody hour during the night because it means I'm always tired and VERY grumpy.

My DP is wonderful and literally does everything for me, I would be lost without him and he never complains about anything. I am off up to Oxfordshire again tomorrow to collect dd from her dads and stay at my parents for a few days to celebrate dd's 6th birthday with family. I am really dreading the drive, my parents gave me a lift up there just before Christmas and I cannot ask them to do that again.

Baby is actually being a little quiet at the moment, he is doing his (well over) 10 movements a day, but they are fairly soft kicks, so I'm worrying about that too now.

I should probably speak to my mw about it, but I know that means I will have to drive the half hour to the hospital to get monitored and he will start playing football as soon as I arrive lol.

If it helps I've had the same issues re: movements - a couple of weeks ago I had about 10 days where I had very quiet movements (I had more than the minimum but it was all very laid back and worrysome). It was also the time when we were snowed in so I was worried that if something was wrong I couldn't get to hospital! Had routine mw apt and everything was fine - infact, the few days after that were manic for movements! So try not to worry - I'm sure it's fine - but for peace of mind you could ring mw - mine said so long as I got the min 10 movements it was fine even if it was more quieter than normal. I wonder if it was just that baby was in a [position where I didn't feel it so much.

Hope you get to your parents safely - at least not too many trips to do whilst pg there now.

I'm 32+2 and also getting a bit fed up, but more worried about just how much more fed up I'm going to be in another 2 or 4 weeks (glass half empty or what?)!

SPD has got quite a bit worse the past few days, and sleep is once again eluding me, or at least it is in bed, sofa is OK, but don't want to sleep on the sofa for the next 2 months!

I'm being a bit of a moody cow I think, but hey ho, DH is dealing with it with immense grace, for which I am grateful!

angels I didn't realise you were moving today. We're putting ours on the market first week in Jan (yes crazy I know) as we have seen something that we really want. This prompted major clear-up/tidy clean yesterday which left me exhausted. Boxing day not very festive in our house!

Roll on Feb anyway...

D

. Yup, moving today and tomorrow but are in the (quite lucky) potition of being able to stay in our current place for as long as we need whilst moving. We're having some floorboards replaced and treated to woodworm stuff later this week in the new place and apparently it's very fumey, so, as much as I want to be sleeping in the new place tomorrow, I'm wondering if we might have to wait until that's done as smells are still pretty strong to me (had a tearful episode on christmas day due to the horrible turkey smells ). And I agree - if we are moaning now, what on earth will we be like in a months time (I'm 32 weeks too)! Good luck with selling your house btw :
)

Oh dear, turkey smells are a suprising cause of tears on Christmas day!

Good cal though re not moving into fumey house, I wouldn't either.

You are brave moving at your stage of pregnancy, I would not be able to cope with that at all. To be honest I feel the same now as I did at 32 weeks, simply because I know I'm getting closer to the end and it will be over at some point.

I am praying fervently he will come early (even though I still have stuff left to buy and bags to pack) as I cannot bear the thought of being overdue. My dd was born at 41 weeks, so I suppose that wasn't too bad, but this one is already head down and tucked on top of my bladder, so I'm hoping that means he might be ready to go.

Although currently I am trying not to think about the birth, I'm going for a VBAC and I'm terrified. Eeeek!

Interesting how it's nearly all us due in Feb girls who have had enough!!

Was just moaning about exactly this to my mum. Today is esp bad because I can't walk any distance so a walk is out of the question, can't face the shops, family all busy, so stay at home in my dirty untidy house that I simply don't have the energy to tidy.

angels GOOD LUCK with the moving!!

I'm 39 weeks have cold and another chest infection again been having cramps for over 2 weekday baby so low been stuck in house for 2 weeks with snow just want too meet my baby now hot 2 other boys as well who I'm sure are also fed up as well and a husband away with the forces lol

I'm 37+1 and have totally had enough now. I just wanted to get through Christmas day and Boxing day. I've now served baby with notice to quit his current accommodation. Fed up with going for a wee 24 million times a night, fed up with the worlds' worst heartburn. Fed up with my messy house that I can't seem to manage to tidy. Just ruddy fed up now!

RL I'm not coping with moving at all - I'm such a control freak and can't take not being able to do anything and it's all stresing me out big time - had a bad day feeling sick today and I'm convinced it's the upheaval of moving. Now I've got reflux from tea and am off for some (more) gaviscon. Having said that, I can cope a bit better with the general discomfort/restless leg etc etc of later pregnancy more than the nausea I get, so I'm hoping the third tri won't be as bad as the first (she says with potentially miseld optimism). Good luck with the VBAC. I'm weeing myself with worry about the birth (not literally quite yet).

delia - turkey smells are quite bad to me though - I'm veggie and hate meaty smells at the best of times.

That'll be me in 2 weeks Loudlass, as soon as I hit "term" I will be doing anything and every thing (apart from spicy food) to get the little so and so to move out of his little nest.

Angels, am trying to be optimistic pretending that this birth will be quicker, easier and less painful than dd's. But as I had a c-section last time I never got to the pushing stage and so I'm completely clueless about it all.

Very worried about horrid stuff like tearing, episiostimies, stitches, forceps and every scary thing you can think of. I am going to cross my fingers VERY tightly and hope for the best.

Can i join in? I'm 31+2. Feel incredibly guilty moaning about pg as have waited for 4 years to have number 2. But it's pushing right up under my ribs now so sitting in any position feels uncomfortable. HAve decided i need to eat smaller meals really to combat sickness, but there is too much chocolate in the house to stuff my face with. Spent last night at in-laws and sat on a hard chair as thought it would stop me slouching and the discomfort in ribs. But was in agony by the time i got home. Then mil says just wait until it's sitting on your bladder all the time. "YES I KNOW I'VE BEEN BLOODY PG BEFORE YOU KNOW!" (obviously shouting in my head there!) AM going to my parents tomorrow for lunch and am dreadin gbeing uncomfortable. Then out on New YEar which i really want to do and don't want to whinge to DH as i know he will start to lose patience with me. HAve had abit of a cold and would love to go for a walk but the weather is foul and if i walk for to long my pubic bone is too painful.
I don't know ho wyou are managing to move house. HAt's off to you. It's bad enough for me thinking about moving from the sofa. Need a really good nights sleep and that would help i'm sure.

i'm also utterly fed up. i'm nearly 38 weeks. i've had heartburn, reflux and indigestion throughout. the result is food has not been a pleasure for what feels like forever. i'm now on my sixth day of a godawful cold and have managed to pull a rib muscle coughing, which has been one of the most painful things i've ever experienced. i feel totally exhausted and despondent and it seems a complete struggle to get through the day. if i didn['t have a DS to look after i'd be in bed.
i could cope with one or two of these things happening separately, but feeling queasy, in horrible pain from pulling muscle, all bunged up with cold; and exhausted all at once is no fun.

36 weeks, and totally over it now. Loads of movement which is great. But I have a dreadful cold which is making me feel terrible, combined with 17 hundred wees in a night and being wide awake from 4am to 7am. So I feel too I'll and tired to even enjoy Christmas cake and Quality Street...

Not long now though.....

sotough - I feel the pain with pulling a muscle from coughing - I did that last week, and then, a few days later pulled my back in lifting up a glass of water in bed from my bed side table (yes, I know, how?! ). I could barely move at allfor a day or so. Sometimes it's just the build up of all the little things that tilt you off the edge and drive you to distraction/depression.

I know it's a bit soon, but me too. Only 16+6 but I'm already as tired as I was at 36 weeks last time...

I'm 35 weeks today and totally fed up- baby is breech so have the head under my ribs which is really uncomfortable, so on top of the worry that baby won't turn in time, I get heartburn after most meals, can't find a comfortable position to sit- alternate between couch (not upright and forward enough) and swiss ball- bloody uncomfortable after about 15 minutes...

32 weeks and really fed up now that Christmas is over. It has been a good distraction. Like others my baby is sitting right under my ribs on the right side, so sitting comfortably is impossible. I ache all over and am knackered ALL THE TIME.

I am in awe of those moving house...Just thinking about you all having to do so brings tears to my eyes!

I'm 37 weeks and feel ready to pop - literally! I have a huge bump all at the front and I don't know how it's going to grow any bigger. It all feels really tight like being stuffed after a huge meal IYKWIM. My body doesn't really feel ready though. It's my first so not sure what to expect but I just don't feel it's time yet no matter how fed up I am.

Moving house??? WTF??? I cant even find the motivation to decorate the bedroom, and Im due in 2 weeks

Started maternity leave 3 weeks ago and Im bored to tears, climbing the walls, but havent the energy/inclination to do anything except eat

My feet have doubled in size and are so tender they feel like someone has stamped on them, for an hour

Im fed up of coughing/sneezing and then following through with a dribble of piss

Im pooing 5 times a day

Peeing every hour

Waking myself up drooling every time I drop off

My body temp has shot up by 1000 degrees even though Ive had stinking colds for 5 out of the last 6 weeks

Yup, fed up just about covers it

And today I am feeling doubly shite as I am due to drive the 4 hrs to my parents house so that I can collect my dd from her Dad's (he lives nearer them than me).

I knew I was going to feel dreadful as I panic when I travel nowadays because of the pregnancy nausea. So I am sat here now feeling sick as a dog and with a very upset stomach. I fecking hate pregnancy!

I'm 34+4 and have had enough (but I've been complaining for months!). Really excited and happy about the baby, but don't think I'm a natural at being pregnant. My DM doesn't help - she keeps saying how spiritual/magical it all is. BOAK.
And the most hideous thing happened last night - my left boob SQUIRTED a load of liquid out by itself . To top it all, had planned a day shopping to buy breast pads, nipple cream, hospital bag stuff - all quite grim, and my DH has invited my MIL and SIL along. wtf?
Rant over. Feel better now.

Hello Feb girls and everyone else!

Yep, definitely can't wait for this to be over now. Keep dreaming of the moment I can hand DS over to OH and move without electric shocks down below and BHs everytime I walk further than a few metres. Only 34 weeks, surely my tummy can't get any bigger. Same as gallicgirl, I'm all out front. Only good thing is that since he's dropped I can eat more and breathe a bit easier.

Started drinking raspberry leaf tea today, we have a deal that he'll arrive at 37 weeks

angels thinking of you moving, wishing you all the energy in the world!
