Hi all, well I am now 31 weeks pregnant - I am not enjoying this pregnancy at all though!
It's my second child and I feel so incredibly tired. I only work a few days per week but cannot wait to start maternity leave. My iron levels are all ok so it's not that.
I was planning to work until 37 weeks but have changed this to 35 as I just have no energy.
Any advice would be lovely! Or anyone else feeling the same would be good.
I feel ready to have the baby now - the thought of another 9 weeks of pregnancy makes me want to cry!

31 weeks tomorrow with my first. I'm at work trying to be a manager and my energy levels are not agreeing. I feel like I look trampy. Stretch marks are taking over my belly and finding it difficult to do easy things. I can't wait for this baby to come. 7 weeks left at work!

I'm 32 weeks and feel your pain. The pregnancy has been uneventful so I can't complain but I'm just so over this pregnancy malarkey now. Tired of feeling tired, not being able to pick things up without editing a strange grunt and bumping my huge belly into things. I'm also working until 38 weeks - 6 weeks to go Confused

31 weeks too with DS 2 and struggling with a broken foot! Also had big tiredness in this pregnancy and nausea. As well as a couple of horrible colds courtesy of DS and wicked migraines at the start. Was desperate for him to come a bit early until I fell down the stairs and broke foot - now just desperate for foot to heal! Also soooo tired. Working til 38 weeks too. These times shall pass!
