Whinge corner - everything hurts!

That's it really.

I'm 33 weeks with ds2. This pregnancy has been fecking awful and I'm so fed up. 5 months of morning sickness, full on spd that's now agony. And gastric issues which mean I cannot eat for pleasure!

Only thing that hasn't hurt yet are my hands and feet.

Anyone else want a gratuitous moan. No judging allowed.

I'm with you 33 + 3 and also in agony with spd. Not to mention feeling so enormous and uncomfy in even my biggest maternity clothes. Appetite is out of control, skin and hair has gone to shit again and have no motivation for anything! Argh :-(

LabradorMama · 27/05/2013 21:01

I'll join in, not to whinge as such but maybe I can cheer you up. I'm only 18+2 and on meds for hyperemesis so I don't feel too bad apart from some round ligament pain and back ache. But I've been suffering from severe pregnancy wind the last 24 hours - DP slept in the spare room last night as he couldn't bear the smell. And I just got up from the dinner table and accidentally let rip the most enormous bassy fart. I didn't even feel like I needed to do it, it just 'fell out' !!

Really hoping your fingers and toes don't start hurting :) Chin up xx

PumpkinPie2013 · 27/05/2013 21:03

Aww LittleMilla you poor thing!

I'm going to join in the winge though I'm quite a way behind you!
I'm 14 weeks with my first and have been feeling grim Sad my sickness has eased now which is good but my
pelvis bones are hurting now grr!

Will check with my gp but its like a burning ache in my pelvis bones. It seems to get worse during the day and lying on my back in bed makes it worse too Hmm

I wanted the 'glow' everyone talks about Angry

Pumpkin, that sounds like spd. Mine has got progressively worse throughout this pg to the point now where there isn't a time in the day or night when I'm not hurting Hmm. So depressing. Physio did nothing and I'm now considering spending money I don't have on an osteo for some respite. Argh!

Pilates in my first eased symptoms but with work and toddler I just haven't had time this time.

More whinging please everyone Grin

Uch up till a fortnight ago i'd have been right on whinging about everything but i now have my energy back so am feeling ok but i'm 29 weeks and dd2 won't stop moving Confused surely she should be out of room? Dd1 was just as bad, right up till 35 weeks she flip flopped and topsy turvied :( ds was so calm in comparison!

It is really uncomfortable and just awkward especially when i'm in public and get winded - i'm huge so people keep thinking i'm in labour Blush

PumpkinPie2013 · 27/05/2013 21:47

Sorry to hear so many others are suffering!

Milla - been googling (I know I shouldn't!) And sounds as if your right it could be spd Angry Wouldn't suprise me as I have an abnormal curve in my spine plus was in a very serious car accident 18 months ago so my back isn't the best as it is Sad

I'm only 26 but feel about 90 with all my aches lol

To really put the icing on the cake I have a UTI as well but antibiotics are kicking in now.

Poor baby though - hope it's ok in there! Had my first scan last Mon and saw it moving and waving and all was as it should be so sure it's ok xx

TinkyPeet · 27/05/2013 22:40

shuffles along chuntering and whinging to ones'self.... 32.3

cupcake78 · 28/05/2013 02:59

I'm in the same position op. Sure ive got everything you can get except the glowing bit! Ive never once glowed! Now 36 weeks and how I've got here is a mystery.

I'm like a heavy sickly walrus. Another 4 weeks I can maybe cope with, another 6 and I want to cry!

fatandlumpy · 28/05/2013 06:16

I'm 31 weeks and I feel like shit. My pelvis clicks and my back has never been so sore. I spotted my first set of stretch marks yesterday and my boobs are leaky and very tender.

I have constant acid reflux, my cankles are hideous and I keep farting these really foul, offensive farts! I've got these horrible skin tags appearing everywhere and I've found that I have a collection of chuffing WARTS deep in my belly button that I've never seen before.

I also can't walk properly and I have a headache :(

I wouldn't f*cking mind as much, but between weeks 18-29 I felt GREAT! Therefore I booked mat leave to start in the middle of July when I'll be 38 weeks. I doubt now that I'm going to last as long. Thank Christ I have about 4 weeks of annual leave to take if I want it.

Life's a bastard.

(waddles off to find cake...)

mummywarren1 · 28/05/2013 07:43

Oh blimey, I'm only 4 weeks and feel constantly knackard and hungover (even though i haven't had a drink in months). I hope this isn't a sign of things to come. I spent the last 2 days in bed and am now forcing myself to get up to go to work when really i want to curl up in a ball and feel sorry for myself. Someone please tell me this gets better before it gets worse again!

RememberingMyPFEs · 28/05/2013 08:05

I had it easy until about week 26. Now am 31 weeks and huge, monstrous cankles, always dehydrated, back pain, burning groin pain, sharp stabbing pains in cervix and an inability to sleep for more than 2 hours without waking up with groin pain despite a pillow mountain! I have a 5-6 hour daily commute so starting mat leave at 34 weeks. Praying for a easy labour at 38 weeks ;-)

MrFranklyShankly · 28/05/2013 08:54

Can i join yas ladies am 35 weeks am massive everyone keeps telling me 'not long now' as they skip merrily off and i struggle to take two steps without looking like im 90! 5 weeks feels like an eternity....cant sleep constant heartburn and feel like crying!!! Such fun! F

Fairy130389 · 28/05/2013 10:15

Waddles over I AM DYING. 37+3, (+3 very important)! Had morning sickness until 20 weeks, approx 3 weeks of 'glowing' (staying awake) now am size of a house, skin of teenager, flu, weeing 6 times a night, can't sleep, can't walk, can't stand or sit down, dh resembles a randy teenager as I feel I'll at the thought of sex... Oh and I can't stop crying. GET THE BABY OUT. Feeling all your pains... Just thinking of the end product to get me through

joanna1990marie · 28/05/2013 11:14

Im 39+4 and actually just wet myself laughing at Labradormamas post! Bassy fart lol! Its my wind that pisses me off only it's from my face too! Not suffered with lowered back ache just horrendous upper back PAIN since about 18 weeks! And paracetamol is utter rubbish, cant wait to take ibuprofen again!

Am I the only one who seems to be SURROUNDED by people who seem to breeze trhough their pregnancies too? DH has been a legend and there's no way I'd have coped with our toddler without him. BUT, I cannot help but think he's got a slightly duff wife as no-one else we know seems to detest being pg quite as much as me!

On the plus side, I have told work that I won't come in to the office unless I NEED to. So am mumsnetting working from home in tracky bottoms on the sofa for the foreseeable...

Littlemilla, pregnancy is not my friend at all, I havent enjoyed anything but the kicking, its just 10 months of stress and worry and pain and exhaustion! Everyone I talk to seems disgusted with me for not enjoying bein pregnant, truth is they were just pregnant so long ago they've forgotten all the stuff that comes with it! Safe to say this lo will be an only child, hope that makes you feel better x

BraveLilBear · 28/05/2013 11:40

Am 32+1 and starting to feel it - like Fatandlumpy I felt great between 18 and 28ish weeks, so have got five weeks left at work to endure.

No real problems either... just round ligament pain and backache double combo so am very uncomfortable, fire gullet at the drop of a hat, a very high, very wiggly baby who keeps scraping the inside of my ribs, and a seemingly permanent existence on the trapped wind/fart continuum.

This is going to be a looooong five weeks...

A reason to Smile, just totted up that I have 16 working days left. That's ok, right? And I can spend most of those days at home which is great.

BraveLilBear · 28/05/2013 12:02

LittleMilla that's a fab reason to Smile !

Think I'll join you with a countdown... 24 days including today, yay!

PumpkinPie2013 · 28/05/2013 12:57

LittleMilla and BraveLilBear - so nice that you can count down in days now to your maternity leave Smile

I'm already counting the weeks lol I'm a teacher though so get summer off so they don't count as working weeks! So from next week I have 17 weeks to work until October half term when I finish Smile

That's if I last that long though - I'll be almost 36 weeks when I finish but if I do have PGP and it's bad I may have to go a couple of weeks before that. Will try to hang on though so I can get as much time after as possible.

Pelvis eased overnight but is still a bit achy. No doubt it will be burning again this evening! Angry

I've made an appointment to see the midwife on Thursday to discuss it as can't get a GP appointment for another week. I also booked my 16 week appointment for two weeks time which is quite exciting!

RememberingMyPFEs · 28/05/2013 20:10

I have 8 more working days left and 3 of those are WFH :-) I have a 5.5/6 hour round trip commute so on hols from 32+3 and starting mat leave at 34. Can. Not. Wait.

Ezza1 · 28/05/2013 23:27

23 weeks with DC4.

Everything feels like its all going to drop out of me any minute due to shot to pieces pelvic floor and horribly divided stomach muscles. Stabbing pains in cervix when baby particularly busy.

SPD, sciatica, acid reflux/heartburn and constipation making my life a misery. Hobbling is the new walking.

Baby appears to be occasionally bouncing on my pelvic brim which is proper uncomfortable.

Oh and a new one on me, never had this before: ultra painful nipples Shock

I don't think I can do another 17 weeks of this Angry Sad

PumpkinPie2013 · 29/05/2013 09:13

I was sick again this morning Angry I'm 14 weeks so nausea/sickness is less but I just want it to go!!!

I'm still tired as well Sad

LittleMilla · 29/05/2013 15:23

So I've just had a mw appt and apparently the baby's head is 2/5 engaged. Which might explain the extreme spd and feeling like I have a watermelon between my legs.

Long 7 weeks for me she sighed.

Aaaaaaargh!

Oh thank GOD this thread was here, else I was going to have to create it.

I feel like shit. My back aches, the rugrat's feet appear to be wedged into my ribs/lungs. That is when he's not punching or headbutting me elsewhere in my uterus. My knees hurt, my hips hurt, my back hurts, my face looks worse than it ever did as a teenager (BOILS????) and I just want to go home.

I'm 27+6 today. I have 9 more weeks of work and I don't have a clue how I'm going to cope. :(
