Pregnancy Blues

[JackSprattsWife]

Hello Mumsnetters,

Just wondered if anyone else is out there? It's 2am - I've been awake since midnight. Terrible indigestion. Hot. Sicky. Feeling huge (and I mean really, really big). Baby dancing on my bladder. Min 10 wees a night. Lonely as am at a work offsite which is all week long and which I am supposed to be contributing to and I miss my DH. Completely exhausted and emotional and hating every single minute of being at work. Love feeling the baby move but wish he would go to sleep. Feel at the end of my capacity to cope. :-(

P.s. Am 32+2

Didn't want to read and run it's now 4am so hopefully your asleep. Sounds horrible and I'm sure you're feeling lonely sometimes a day at a time is the only way to make it through a tough week x

I'm sorry you had a terrible night OP. that could have been me two nights ago - uncomfortable and sicky and yuck. Being away from home for work isn't great at the best of times.

I had a big meltdown cry last night (found a stretchmark - sent me iver the edge! ) and I think it helped - I slept through for the first time in weeks! Would that help?!

If not, tell them you're ill, exhausted and need to go home. It's not a lie.

Second that, can you take a sick day if not go home entirely? How much longer until you are back onsite (or better yet, on mat leave). It sicks being ill and pregnant, sooo difficult to get to sleep.
Hope you feel better soon.

Thanks all - managed another hour or so last night - fingers crossed for tonight :-). Got myself an industrial amount of Gaviscon and am half way through the offsite so things are looking better. By Friday I'll only have another 10 working days before mat leave and my intimate relationship with sofa and remote control can begin! I didn't think it was possible to be this size - lastonedancing I had a breakdown when my husband asked what I wanted for tea a week ago and every time I look at my once lovely pert boobs which are now frankly dragging across the floor, I feel like crying some more!!! How long have you got left before you pop?

Glad to hear you're feeling a bit better. 10 days til mat leave? That sounds very promising. I am 37+6 and started mine last week.
Unfortunately that also means taking care of a delightful but feisty 2 year old who has decided to drop her daytime nap. [Sad]

I meant

Well done with sticking with work! I'm very jealous of your maternity being so close

I have 9 weeks to go, 6 weeks 2 days of work left, not that I'm counting.

I can't wait to meet BabyLast, but I also can't wait to reclaim my body, buy a fabulous bra and go on a diet!
