Pregnancy whinge... Might be TMI so look away if your faint hearted!!

[LittleMissRayofHope]

I am 34 weeks tomorrow.

DISCLAIMER: I love being pregnant. I have shitty crappy horrible pregnancies but I still love it. I just want to whinge at someone other ten my husband cos I think he is starting to become a bit stressed out about it.

I smell.

I smell of breast milk.

I snell of vaginal discharge and it smells quite strong and although it's not particularly unpleasant it's still there and I notice it. The hotter the day the more noticeable it is!

My feet smell. My usual trusty Birkenstocks - that are almost the only thing to fit my swollen feet - seem to be the worst!! My feet absolutely pong! I thought it was me and a hygiene issue and got super upset when I spent time washing them 3-4 times a day and they still stink! Until midwife said it's a common pregnancy issue.

I am huge. I seem to be carrying a lot of fluid as baby is being scanned frequently and is normal size. So washing my feet is no longer easy as I can hardly reach them!!

Baby likes to sit with his bum firmly wedged under my ribs and he goes absolutely berserk if I eat anything. Think it's takes up his space!

I have heartburn. All day. All night.

I have hyperemesis. All day. All night.

I have PGP, or SPD... I'm confused but essentially I think my pelvic bone has broken into 2 pieces right down th front and I struggle to turn over in bed without crying out. I can't walk first thing in the morning and absolutely NO SEAT IN THE ENTIRE WORLD is comfortable. Anywhere. Ever. For more then 10 seconds.

Baby thinks my bladder is a punching toy. Which is doubly upsetting as I have a prolapsed bladder from birthing my DD so it's already got reduced capacity. He also seems to enjoy kicking me in the bum and vagina.

My breasts are HUMONGUS. And damn sore with it.

I can't poo. Except that then suddenly and without much warning, I can and woe betide anyone who gets in my way!!

I HAVE gestational diabetes. Which sucks as I'm a technicality anyway (even GD nurse said so as I failed by .1) so I have to stab myself in the finger 2/3 times a day and can't eat anything I like. Except cheese. Cheese is my friend now.

I LOVE being a woman and growing a baby. I love knowing that life is inside me and I'm creating him and I'll birth him and breast feed him. I love knowing I'm doing the exact thing I was created to do and I just love being pregnant but who in hell decided it had to last so long?? And who, exactly who, decided that it would be the worst 9 and 1/2 months of a woman's life??

I have moaned my heart out here and I haven't even mentioned the heat!!

Yep.

My baby objects violently to my poop. If I need a poo, she kicks my intestines or even worse goes quiet to worry me until I poo. Of course, what with the fact my stools resemble cut diamonds of stink this is not a pleasant experience.

Im 37 weeks and I have constant nonstop heartburn, actually have to sleep sitting up at night popping Rennies every few hours. The baby is right under my ribs making eating and even just sitting really uncomfortable. also the discharge which seems to be getting worse is disgusting have to change pads quite frequently it's never ending.

Too tired and fed up to get dressed in anything other than leggings or stay in my pjs.

33 weeks here and I smell like a breast milk dairy. I upset babies I pass in the street. I leak milk at odd moments.

Baby finds awkward position after awkward position to lie in so sometimes I can't wee, sometimes I can't poo and sometimes I have the runs all day causing monster piles.
My skin falls into sore or bruises if I look at it wrong. Baby would like me to eat only hummus and cucumber except at 4am when she would like steak.

I do love being pregnant though

Oh, it is such a miraculous thing, but by heaven it is also horrible.

With DS I had heartburn from before I knew I was pregnant until after he was born.

It will be over soon. Until the next time

It's amazing being pregnant, but fecking awful at the same time.

I'm 35+2 and baby is breech so ive a head in my ribs and lungs all day, and feet in my bladder, so continuously out of breathe and needing to pee. Restless legs means I don't sleep, and I've got Braxton hicks almost all day every day.
Add to the fact I've pre eclamlsia and know baby could be delivered any day it's scary.

But holding baby at the end is a micracle x

I don't want to eat anything. I want to drink though. And I want juice. Constantly. Apple and raspberry. All day long. Which I can't have cos of the GD!

I also have metal mouth. It comes and goes and does appear to be worse after I eat something crappy and processed. It's there all the time though. Makes me want to retch and spit. Which makes my belly/bump hurt.

6 weeks.... Although if the GD gets it's way it'll be 5 weeks..... My first was 1 week late though.... Hahahaha. Impossible to plan for babies!!

And the worry... I'm 34 weeks and my boobs just get the odd drop of pre-colostrum-oils daily. Yep I know it's normal but now I'm like "how come I don't have milk already..?".

I stink also. I'm 30 weeks and find that I sweat loads and its much smellier so I'm constantly in the shower. The amount I sweat is no joke!
Vag discharge is bad - constantly a bit damp down there.
I have spd right down my front pelvic bone and rolling in bed is agony. As is bending over. My boobs have gone from an f cup to a hh cup and just ordered nursing bras in 36L! So nothing fits as I have to lug around these enormous breasts.
I have swollen up like a balloon and no shoes fit me.
Varicose veins are popping out of my legs and ive put on about 2 and a half stone and can hardly get up the stairs.
I'm also happy to be pregnant but Ive really slowed down and im only 30 weeks. Thanks for the moan thread OP. I really needed that. Makes a change from reading about all the nesting and blooming and breasts that havent changed size!!
