Will you indulge me in a pregnancy moan?!

[Dolallytats]

I am so pleased and grateful to be expecting DC3. I had DC1 at 19 and then failed to conceive for 15 years until DC2 gave us a huge surprise!! Now another miracle has happened and we are expecting our 3rd arrival in July.
However, I am 33+4 and feeling like a beached whale!! Every movement is difficult. I have suspected SPD (physiotherapy appt next Friday), I can't sleep, moving any which way takes so much effort. I feel shattered. I did not glow at all this time round!!

To make things worse I am agoraphobic and my anxiety has been even worse since I have been pregnant.

The weather is too hot and I am scared of giving birth!!!

Like I say, this is a much wanted pregnancy and I know I am hugely lucky, but I feel a bit better for having a moan because I feel rather crap!!

The upside is that the time has flown by (although as I am scared of going through labour again, this is a double edged sword!!)

Feel free to join me in a 'I am blessed, but can still have a whinge' if you want to

Sorry to hear that . Without wanting to jinx myself, I have been able to walk better over the last few days (although I feel like baby is jarring my pelvis with every step, but you can't have everything!!). Maybe I should whisper that, just in case!!

I find that a good old cry actually makes me feel better. Hope you find it helped a little too.

I have everything crossed that things start moving quickly for you x

It's rubbish isn't it! I cracked last night and ended up phoning labour ward (see other spd thread). I'm waiting with hope to find out if there is any chance of a sweep/induction.

I long for goop give me goop! The days just get longer and longer.

i did the same cupcake and midwife referred me to consultant who did the sweep wed. She had no problem doing it either!
I am getting uncomfortable tightenings every 7ish mins but i cant decide if they are BH or real!!

I seriously hope someone will do something! I've just dropped water all over the side of the bed and could do nothing about it. Screamed and cried at dh for no other reason than he was there i was in pain, hugely frustrated and i needed to. I now feel terrible about it because he's being run to death and been amazing, all because Im such a useless heavy lump and nobody is doing a thing to help me.

I seriously want this baby out now I don't care how much pain labour will be (i may regret that). I'm so tempted to go into hospital tonight and demand they do something, anything even a c-section is looking good and its one of my biggest fears.

This is going to make me mentally ill. Its now affecting my whole family. I'm snappy, miserable, demanding and depressed. I hate to think of the long term physical effects! How on earth do I look after a newborn when Im like this?

I'm doing the evening primrose thing orally and vaginally to hopefully increase my chances of being ready if I can get a sweep.

I had PND with ds and its not looking good with this one at the minute.

I so hope you have your baby soon! Then you can come back and tell me how much better you are. That would be so lovely

oh you poor thing cupcake. It really is sooooo miserable, nothing I can say will help but i will hold your hand...
all slowed down here so trying to get some sleep, sending u lots of hugs xx

I know there's nothing I can say to make either of you feel better, but I do hope you're both ok

Feeling much brighter today! Got a few signs coming on, upset tum, back ache a need to cook and clean. Going between exhausted and full of energy.

Hopeful for tomorrow when I see the dr.

How you doing sofedup?

hi cupcake, judt logged on... baby girl arrived safe and sound wed 12th, totally shattered off.to bed, hope u r ok?

Soooo pleased for you! I did wonder. Congratulations, I hope it all went well for you. How's the SPD?

I'm still waiting. 38+5, 9 days to go before hospital intervention begins. Not that I'm counting or anything

I'm beginning to get desperate I've bought a pineapple (yes i know one will do stuff all) and am making spicy food simply to keep me occupied. I've washed light fittings, not out of choice but shear boredom. We've even tried dtd, which considering my immobile state and immense lack of drive really does show commitment.

Dh had words with bump last night but to no avail. I'm trying to remain calm but if one more person tells me baby will come when it's ready I may be forced to poke them with a crutch.
