I am 28 weeks pregnant with my first DC. I work full time (office hours), largely office based, hour commute each way.

I've had a very straightforward pregnancy so far - minimal morning sickness in first tri, bad back in the second tri but felt good otherwise, now starting to feel rubbish. Tired all the time, starving hungry all the time, uncomfortable, bad back, trouble sleeping. No medical concerns, very lucky.

I'm worried about getting through the next 12 weeks, and then I'm worried about managing to care for a baby and being even more tired etc.

I feel like a real moaner considering I've had an easy ride so far. I still have 12 weeks to go, am I being a real wuss? DH is generally lovely but doesn't quite 'get' pregnancy. He just says things like 'go to bed earlier' which in theory makes sense but is easier said than done (plus I am often asleep by 9:30 as it is!).

Hats off to those with other children at home already, carrying multiples and other generally more hectic lives than me!

35+ weeks now.

For the past week or 2 ive felt like ive had enough.

I have had SPD for near on 10weeks, crutches for 5 weeks plus ive injured my ankle. Ive luckily been off work (garden leave, annual leave and redundancy) since end of June. I think im bored now.

So combination of everything is just making me feel bleh, want it over and done with. Want baby here safe x

I'm 28 weeks + 3 days.

I have to say I think I've been lucky so far, no sickness and no other problems to speak of. I did have a trapped nerve in my back from weeks 25-27 but thats now gone and I am feeling much more mobile again.

I imagine the toughest bit is just around the corner for me, and I can't wait to finish work now!

Had a bit of a unicorn pregnancy with my son and didn't really feel like total shit until 40 weeks, he was born just after 41 weeks.

I'm 24 weeks with #2 at the moment, we're in the golden bit at the moment after a nausea and exhaustion filled first trimester. Bending over is starting to get a little awkward and peeing is getting more frequent but that's about it. I'm still running.
