32 weeks pregnant and feeling overly tired, frumpy and hormonal

[rachyaimeelou]

is this a sign of things coming to an end? this is my 2nd pregnancy and has been 3 years since i had my dd and cant remember any thing about being closer to labour.

since i hit 31 weeks last week iv become tired, irritable, the slightest thing either ticks me off or reduces me to tears and even doin the most easiest task leaves me falling asleep on the couch.

i cant moan too much coz i am very lucky to have a parnter who is very hands on, as soon as hes home from work, he takes over with dd so i can have a rest, makes tea, does any job that needs doing including bathing and putting dd to bed.

i jus wish it was 11th july already, im also gettin fed up with having clothes that dont fit, but i think theres only 8 more weeks wats the point in buying another t-shirt, so im wearing my partners tops lol i suppose ppl asking how much longer isnt makin the process go any quicker either.

with dd i remember being happy, full of bloom and excitement, but with this pregnancy i feel grumpy, tired and jus want ppl to stay away from me not to mention a little anxious.

i know this is all normal and that every pregnancy is different, i jus wish things wud kick in and get going

hi Del and cass, welcome to the thread.

so sorry to hear that both of u are having a terrible time, i have nothing to offer but lots of cuddles for both of you.

i dont no were either of these men get off treating you the way that they have been doin, a partner should be supportive, helpfull and nurturing, no matter how hormonal, unbalanced or frustrated you are feeling.

both of you are at a very vunerable time, especially seeing as you are both going thru ur 3rd pregnancy.

i went thru all this with my dds bio father and by time dd was 8 months old, id had enough and basically packed his bags for him.
during my whole pregnancy, he was selfish, unhelpfully and thot it was a fab idea to buy a fish tank rather than baby stuff a week before dd was born and stupid me put up with it.
and after the pregnancy again he did nothing to help, it was me doing all the night feeds, buying all the food, doing all the washing, i was a sleepy state, my mum stepped in a few times to either help out with dd or give my ex a tounge lashing about wat a hopeless father he was

both of you need to do wat is best for u and ur children, never mind these men, if they want to be involved then they will have to put the effort in, children are a blessing, not a hinderence and theyre all lucky to have mummies who are trying to be strong for them.

i hope this makes u both feel better xx

Just seen how long my post was!! lol. Feel slightly better today ( so far) and havn't lost my temper for a few days. Probably because I've been at work all day mon and tues!!

cassnstar I have even thought about chatting up my postman who is a bit of a dish, just to get some attention. But then I forget I have two kids clinging off me, and a huge pregnant belly . He would run a mile!!
He was fine with the first , with the second, a little more distant. And this time, he just doesn't look at me at all, and I know I'm not that bad!
Did he eventually see your message on the notice board?

rachyaimeelou Thanks for the support. It's so nice to just vent your frustrations without someone picking at you.
I wouldn't burden my family and friends with my feelings, as I like to try and be positive for them. So apart from talking to myself, here is the best way to get it off your chest!

Hope everyone is feeling a bit better now that daft hot weather has gone? I adore the sun and heat - but not whilst preggers! xx

any time del, good to hear that your are feeling better....

on a more positive note, iv started leaking colostrum (tmi, i know lol) but i never expressed with my dd so to have this happenin has made me sooo upbeat and positive, jus fed up now of the false labour pains, all iv wanted to do is sleep today, iv lost all my energy xx

31+3 and fooking knacked!! Working FT running round after a 3yo, hubbs away all week and i am just exhausted :( feel your pain

Hi everyone,

So sorry Del1 & Cassnstar are having a rough time at the moment, I know I want to strangle my OH sometimes but I would be lost without him. Fingers crossed that things will change once the LO's get here??

I went out shopping today to my local retail park, went to about 5 shops and every cashier asked me when I was due, when I said 5 weeks they all replied oh that will fly over!!! Fly over, I want it to be like tomorrow, my patience is wearing out and I feel like 5 weeks is like forever away!!!

I did treat myself to a pram bag, its just a normal bag from River Island but got plenty of room to fit in everything I need. Another reason why I can't wait 5 weeks, I want to use my new bag :) xxx

Del1 no he didn't notice, and I rubbed it off in the end. He doesn't give me any hugs, I don't see him at night or in the morning and I seriously know what you mean about looking for comfort elsewhere.... I may be pregnant but I feel amazingly feminine and sexy at the moment, sure it won't last, but he barely looks at me. And being in floods of tears half the time means I'm craving affection and the lack of it makes it worse. We have various events happening here at the moment but I have found somewhere to go for a few days and once they're over I intend to go away for a few days with a couple of books. Don't know what else to do really....

I'm 32 weeks and have a 16 month DD. My partner is loving, great with DD but only thinks to do anything if I ask him. I've been incredibly emotional and feel far from sexy.I work, come home look after DD, do the housework and we only have a yard but I look after that too when I can and do the DIY. DP manages his comics and the computer! I told him yesterday how rotten I'm feeling and the best compliment he could muster was 'your far from ugly'....Thanks! I told him I couldnt face cooking the tea so he passed me money for me to go the chippy. I ended up cooking as going out seemed even harder work.

I know I was emotional when preganant last time but DP still made the effort to make me feel beautiful and make me feel better and made more of an effort arund the house. This time around though he has moments of brilliance Like buying me a computer game I wanted to relax a couple of months ago and did a bit of ironing for me but he misses the point that I need to feel special, loved and that I still turn him on. Sex has definately suffered with neither of us seeming able to make the effort. I need to feel that I'm not just his good friend and landlady.

Glad I found this thread gives me a chance just to moan. x

32 weeks + 4 days I'm incredible irritable, my emotions are all over the place again, and I'm tired a lot, especially with the lower back pain driving me crazy, still hurts even if i am propped up using a maternity pillow, has anyone been experiencing hot flushes? Ive been having them no and then now coming to the summer period, this is my first baby due 3rd July.

30+4 the exhaustion is so bad now I can hardly lift my head off the pillow in the morning still working full time and have to work right up due to the rubbish maternity pay I'm entitled to in my job. I need all my time off after she arrives, the constant peeing is horrible it's got to the point I'm hardly drinking anything after six in the evening but I have a horrendous thirst so not easy. Is it September yet???
