Third trimester surprisingly hard work!

[leannac]

I have had a pretty breezy pregnancy so far with second baby. With DD was much sicker, tired & generally more aches & pains (although that may be partly as its less easy to take time to be selfish & think of yourself when you have a crazed toddler running around).

All of a sudden at 30weeks I feel like I've hit a wall. I've gone from bright & breezy to permanently utterly exhausted & now seem to have developed nausea if I eat too much or don't eat enough.

And isn't it weird how much lower second babies can drop so early? I'm walking like a cowboy already.

Sorry for the moan, I'm just feeling a bit sorry for myself & hoping to hear lots of other mums say they felt the same at 30w then it eased off again at 31. Or at least that I'm not alone!

I am the same. 32 weeks and feeling it. Finished work today however, hopefully that will help.

Ooo that's a lovely idea, finishing work early. I might have to see if can rejig to do that

35 weeks and feeling like i am building up to a painful death rather than a cute baby.

Toddlers & pregnancy really should come with a health warning..dd says 'don't cry mummy your ok' in a really funny tone when i start to blub for no reason.

Feel your pain. 28 weeks and completely utterly exhausted. 3yo keeps coming into our bed every night at the moment. Haven't got the energy to fight him out of it. Better go to sleep now then

Anyone else want to add insomnia to current list of woes??

Yep, insomnia (been awake for 1.5hrs), really sore hips and back, general exhaustion, terminal grumpiness, 32 weeks with twins. We're moving house in 3 weeks as well...

Moving house as well. Dear me, I think that would finish me off! Good luck!
