33 weeks and really had enough...anyone else??

[Excited2meetmyprincess]

Sorry in advance for the moaning rant!!

I have been to see midwife this morning and now she thinks I am anaemic so I'm on iron tablets. Doesn't seem like much but it's just another thing to add to the list of crappy things and feelings I've had since getting pregnant!

I just feel like I've really reached breaking point now! I am exhausted! I am now sleeping for more than an hour at a time! My SPD is driving me insane and I am in agony and the physio says not much they can do now.

I feel so guilty for hating being pregnant! But I have just had enough and can't wait for this to be over. This is DC1 and it has really put me off having any more and I always said I wouldn't want my baby growing up alone and would have two like me and my sister but now I really don't think I could ever do this again!!!

Please tell me I'm not the only one that's so fed up!! I feel like such a bad person as there are people that would live to be in my position! Don't get me wrong I can't wait to have daughter and I will be so in love with her when she is here, I just hate pregnancy!!!

Anyone else feeling the same?? Xx

Yep I'm with you! I'm actually pregnant with DC2. Hated being pregnant first time around and also this time and have found it harder, more uncomfortable and had more illness during this pregnancy. I'm also 33 weeks

All I can say is it will all be worth it and you will forget all about pregnancy very quickly and before you know it you may well be up for going through it all again.

I'm 34 weeks and so pissed off with everything (and frankly everyone)! This is DC2 and I went 2 weeks over with DC1 - given my curreny mood I am not sure how DH is going to survive if this goes on for another 8 weeks.

I am absolutely shattered, DH has hurt his back so I have to do all the heavy lifting with DD, work is ridiculously busy and I seem to spend my whole time at home cleaning and tidying. I feel like I can't even cope with the jobs that we need to do every week let alone arranging things for the new baby. Poor DC2 doesn't even have anywhere to sleep yet if she was to come early!

That is my moan for the evening.....

I'm 31 weeks, utterly distraught that I could have another eleven weeks to go. I love feeling my baby move, but I hate feeling so uncomfortable (also got spd), feeling so bone achingly tired, not being able to eat or drink or things I like. Got told I was borderline anaemic yesterday and got the weeks to try to eat my iron levels up (already stupid constipated and can't cope with the idea of it being worse!). Bored at work, bored at home, can't exercise, can't stand up, sit down or lie down comfortably Gaahhhhhhh!

Glad its not just me, but feel sorry for u all feeling like this!! I was signed off work at 27 weeks because I work in a nursery and the SPD was too bad to continue so I am soooo bored if being at home now!
Poor DH is really trying to help and keeps trying to do things for me and telling me to rest and I that is just annoying me more cos then I feel like an invalid!! I know he is trying to be nice but its driving me insane and then I am getting angry at myself for being angry at him!
I seriously don't think I could cope if I go over! My doctors are still arguing over whether I should have a c section at 38 weeks because my neurologist says yes (prior medical condition) and my consultant is very pro natural birth so saying she wants me to try a natural birth!! This is also stressing me out as I just want to know what's happening so that I can plan properly!!
I would personally go for the c section but still need to convince consultant!!
Everyone and everything is driving me insane!!! I feel like I cry at least once a day!!! X

33 weeks on Sat with DC3 I feel your pain, well actually more bored than anything of being pregnant hate being so big I'm measuring a week ahead and just hope this baby follows the pattern of being a few weeks early of my previous dc's. Just mostly tired and short of breath sometimes just from talking!! Never actually really enjoyed pregnancy suffer badly from anaemia and this one has by far been the worse! Only had about 4 weeks between 20-24 weeks where I felt normal-ish. Still have 4 weeks before maternity leave.... please October fly in the same way that September did :)

And if one more person asks me how long to go and recoils in horror when I say 7 weeks or so I will scream ! Yes I know I have a large bump because the rest of me is relatively small. This is my third pregnancy, yes third and no I'm not brave . People do have more than two children! And yes I will have my hands full but do already, so one more really isn't an issue!

Oh yes littlecloud the breathlessness is awful!! I only walk down the stairs of a morning and I can't breathe :-(
I just cannot wait for her to be here so that I can not be pregnant anymore!!
Plus I am certain I will get more sleep with a new born than I am being pregnant with SPD!! Because if I get more than an hour at a time now I am extremely lucky!! Xx

Could have written that post myself littlecloud!! How is it people can be so blatantly rude....one said to me 'oh you look very tired ( was feeling fine and was not anaemic ) then so you must be due soon?' Errrr? No! (Told the cheeky person I had 3month to go! She prob still hasn't picked her jaw off floor now. So rude, am on dc3 and smaller than I was with dc2 at similar stage, I am in 12/14 maternity skinny jeans, I just have big babies ffs (of course that was in my head) what came out my mouth was more like oh um yeah well feel a bit tired etc see u tmrw.....duh. Also been told I'm 'brave ' for having a third, or being a sahm etc etc, why?? I don't go round commenting on others being too feeble for two or three kids or choosing to work .... I have done full time part time etc etc and now I'm doing what I'm doing, let me waddle my apparently huge fat tired bump n arse off to a cake shop.

I am in a good mood today, really, I am! Just gobsmacking what people say to preg ladies. I have had enough in answer to the op! Also have spd on and off, if it helps I worked out that lifting any weight at all sets it off for the day, unless it's tea in a mug with a snack, leaning over, twisting etc set it off, I thought it was walking but it's def more the carrying of shopping, lifting toddler etc than simply walking for me. I think you can kind of hit the wall as it were at various points preg then you will just get through and wonder how you did it! And move on enjoy it a bit, get fed up a bit then suddenly babies arrive and it's done.

I have found that being in one position (no matter what that is) for too long sets mine off! I have to keep moving and changing so this isn't helping with the getting no sleep problem! Lol.
I'm sure DH thinks I'm totally insane the way my mood keeps changing as well. Feel quite sorry for him x

Can I join in too! I'm 28 weeks and already fed up. I've been anaemic since July and the iron tablets make me constipated and then I get piles. I'm taking them less because I can't bear it. I also have really low blood pressure which means that every morning until about 11ish I feel like I'm gonna pass out. Even when I'm sitting or lying down. It gets so bad sometimes that everything goes white. I have to dress in such a way that I can strip off quickly because I get so hot and sweat in places I never knew you could sweat from. I've tried loads of different things: drinking loads, eating tiny portions, not having breakfast, having a big breakfast... nothing changes the symptoms. Some mornings I sob before I leave the house because I'm dreading the commute to work and then the first couple of hours at work where I'm slumped over my desk. Sometimes I even go to the toilet at work just to lie on the nice cold floor. Doctor and MW just shrug and say there's not a lot I can do. All a bunch or arse.

im 36 weeks and kind of had enough now although i actually enjoy being pregnant im feeling moody and grumpy alot more last few days i went overdue last time by 1 week so i could have another 5 weeks of this arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

feeling your pain, i've been ranting on here a bit recently! don't seem to be able to function for tiredness. 2 very active and argumentative pre-school DSs are not helping matters.

Warp sorry to hear you are so poorly. Would u not be better being signed off work if you are so bad? I had to finish really early and although it is very boring it was better than being in so much pain in work.

Well I had tv worst nights sleep last night. I am getting terrible pains around my cervix and vagina (sorry for tmi) and I can't stand up without wanting to cry its do bad!! Been told its either my SPD or baby dropping and basically it won't go until she is born!! Which is great!! Not!!
Oh how I love being pregnant!!!

Sorry everyone, it's all pants! Warp kitten i have the same problem every morning, so it's low bp then? I wasn't sure and I just struggle through it like you by the sounds of it then it kind of lifts a bit and I feel more energetic/less out of breath. Have never had bp taken first thing in morning but that would make sense I guess, it's certainly a horrid feeling, I read that bp hits it lowest around 24/25 weeks then can start to come up a bit again, fingers crossed.

36 +1 and busted hips here. woke up feeling so fed up this morning as i hobbled to the toilet on crutches

My physio said I could have crutches but trying to survive without as don't think they will make any difference!
Sorry to hear u all going through this! But at least we know we aren't alone in the struggle!! X

Can I join in the moan please?

33 weeks tomorrow, DC1 and had enough these last few days!

No spd here but baby is quite low so I get random shooting pains in my groin, plus I seem to have permanent heartburn/acid reflux and I can't stand gaviscon or milk Just can't get comfy at all!

I'm lucky to be on maternity leave now - finished last week as work was majorly stressing me out but feel like I can't get anything done as I'm in pain/discomfort.

Plus the local spider population has decided to have a party in my house I have a terrible, irrational fear of them and they keep appearing when DH has gone to work I managed to hoover up a massive one this morning which is a major achievement for me - I would normally vacate the house for the day!!

Anyway, I'll stop ranting now I'm honestly very grateful to be pg and can't wait to meet baby x

32+5 here and wanting it all over now.
heartburn
pgp
breathlessness
headaches
sickness etc etc etc etc ..................................
