Do you wonder how you can keep on doing this?

I know I don't exactly have a choice, I can't just hand the baby over to someone else to incubate for the next 16 weeks

Was just hoping it wasn't just me thats feeling useless by wondering how the hell im going to make it to the end of this pregnancy alive!

I already have spd, still throwing up, bad heartburn (which even my tablets from the dr aren't stopping anymore) get sciatic pain on & off, as well as my existing medical problem. Sleep is becoming increasingly broken because of the heartburn/spd/peeing.

I literally don't know what to do with myself anymore, if I was an animal I can only assume they'd have put me out of my misery by now I dread having to leave the flat because this is my safe place where my bed/medication/toilet is!

Anyone else want to join in with a guilt free moan?

I'm 37 weeks on Monday, and not sure how I've made it this far. I practically begged my consultant yesterday to agree to induce me but she wont.
I've actually forgotten what it feels like to not be in pain from SPD. I can't even speak without getting out of breath. Chest pain. Headaches. Flashing lights and floaters in my vision. Violent leg twitching if I get an itch in my leg. Heartburn. Apparently it's normal though, and the last few weeks of pregnancy are uncomfortable for everyone yes I did want to hit the consultant when she said that.
Never, ever doing this again. I hate people who just breeze through pregnancy! I did convert my Dad from his opinion of "pregnancy isn't an illness" last time!
I just keep reminding myself it'll be worth it, I loved the newborn stage with DD.

Oh what is with the being out of breath!! Drives me insane. I got them to induce me for spd last time but they only agreed to do it on my due date & not before. Il be trying the same thing this time! Because of my neurological condition I can say that it's in everyone's best interest for it all to be in a controlled environment from the start.

Sounds like you've been through hell but I still can't help but be jealous at how little time you have left

I've only been out of breath for a week, so that's new compared to everything else! SPD started at 8 weeks. Headaches and visual problems started the week before Christmas. It's all just been getting progressively worse. I'm on edge as I had an eclamptic seizure and HELLP syndrome last time.
I wish they would induce me, so I'm already at the hospital. I had a really quick induced labour last time, and we live a 45 minute drive from the hospital on a good day! I have visions of giving birth on the side of the road! The end seems so near yet so far...
If they agreed to induce you last time I can't see them refusing you this time.

Jonsnowswhore I felt like shoving one of her cakes in her face. The thought of walking any further and not having a wee was just too much to bare!!!!! I'm 28 weeks today and I literally feel pregnant now. SPD pain feels like someone has kicked me right in the fanny and my back kills. I'm so lazy that tonight I ordered pizza. Shame on Mummy.

Yes. Sometimes I have a sensation of being a prisoner in my own body (usually when struggling to sit up to go for umpteenth wee) and I just want to be let out! Also third trimester vomiting is so fucking grim, and I am doing that every other day or so. Am genuinely unsure if I have repressed the worst memories of my first pregnancy (only two years ago) or if this time is just much much worse, but I am really struggling.

I live a 45-50min drive to our hospital too; we did a run yesterday and I do not like it at ALL!!!

Nurse we ordered pizza tonight aswell, no shame what so ever. & at least you didn't see yourself, which I have done, multiple times 🙈

Wee yourself, not see yourself

I can't stop vomiting, started Sunday at 9 weeks so I just presumed sickness bug/viral but I'm not even keeping water down sick.

I know sickness comes with the territory but not 20 times a fecking day

The spd hurts like hell but weirdly I can cope with it much more than I can cope with the sickness & my migraines. I think it's he sickness that makes me cry more than the rest

Haha OP the original post here made me laugh out loud, I have often thought if I was left in the wild I'd have been eaten by a predator or starved to death curled up in a cave by now, I am just useless & helpless.

The PGP/SDP has basically rendered me housebound unless I have someone with me, & even then a trip to the supermarket is about as much as I can do. And there's still 6 weeks left, 4 of which I'll be on maternity leave - what the hell am I going to do all day?

I feel I am making pregnancy look so hard compared to most women!

If I was going this alone, without my partner, I think I'd be dead by now, like you said I just can't fend for myself! My 3 year old is just running rings around me & there's nothing I can do about it 😳
