With my second, I'm hot, tired, moany and constantly need a wee...anyone else in a similar position?

Don't get me wrong I'm pleased to be pregnant but was hoping the rain would last a bit longer lol I'm not even showing much, my bump is small but I'm uncomfortable and counting down the days until half term and her due date

Phoned hospital & they don't seem too concerned unless I'm having proper timed contractions then not to worry, period like cramp has eased off although have a full back. Beds stripped this morning & now in full nutcase mode preparing just incase!!

Thanks colour I might relax a bit when he's actually arrived safe.

Debs sounds like nesting.

I'm in the north east it's been just as hot today. I got asked in a shop how long I had left, she looked surprised when I said I was only 22 weeks. I seem to be massive this time round.

Hollyhop17 · 24/05/2017 14:58

Also 32 weeks today and wishing it was over. Have had HG all throughout and its in general been a miserable experience. Delighted to be told yesterday I'll be induced at 39 weeks if he hasnt come before then. Fingers crossed he makes an appearance sometime after 37...

ColourfulOrangex · 24/05/2017 16:35

@Hollyhop17 me too from week 3 - 25 constantly it's been horrendous, I never had any sickness with my first, he was early in hoping this one is too, at least you know the end is in sight with an induction :)

@ColourfulOrangex I had no sickness nothing with my first, he was early & perfect, was a great baby, we didn't even have " teething " he just woke up every other day with a new tooth. I'm having a girl this time, she's had me ill from day 1 and I feel I've had a right " off " pregnancy if that makes sense!

Think she's just letting me know what I'm in for! - typical female!!

UnbornMortificado · 24/05/2017 17:58

I've had two of each but this pregnancy has crippled me. I have bi-polar so I came off a load of MH drugs, then I've ended up on anti-sickness meds for constant vomiting and oramorph for a trapped nerve after surgery.

Sod's law I suppose, I'm due a boy this time.

UnbornMortificado · 24/05/2017 17:59

Deb anything been happening or has it all eased off now?

ColourfulOrangex · 24/05/2017 18:05

@deb1407 that literally could've been written about my son! He woke up with teeth, was never sick etc was an angel baby, this one is like a little devil lol she's been trouble since day 1

I hope you feel better @UnbornMortificado Flowers

@UnbornMortificado - no more mucus plug but I did have a lot. Back is still dull achey and my bump appears very tight, most pain seems to be from my cervix, I ended up going back to bed about 11 this morning as I was a total emotional wreck, crying over nothing and picking fights for fun! This pregnancy has turned me into a monster xx

lilyborderterrier · 24/05/2017 19:49

26 weeks today with my 2nd, hot, knackered sweaty and massive, i look like I'm going to pop soon as I'm also carrying a massive bloody fibroid inside me 😕I'm scared about the birth and what will happen to it once I give birth. Having not seen the midwife since week 20 I know I'll have to explain everything in a few weeks when I go as it seems like the consultant and midwife team don't confer with each other. The next 3 months ( if I go that far seem a long way off)

FluffyTowers · 24/05/2017 20:31

31+4 here with my 3rd. Constipation, piles, swollen Fanjo, chronic back pain from pre pregnancy, spd, heartburn, restless legs, irritable uterus & to top it off gallstones. Really hoping I go at 37/38 weeks with this one but the other 2 were late (and over 9lb 😣)

However my core temp runs cooler than average which means I'm nearly always cold, so I'm coping with the warm weather much better than other pregnant women!

Notyetthere · 24/05/2017 21:50

34+4 today - very tight bump that is measuring bigger than it should at 35.5cm. I am actually loving the warm weather but then my commute isn't too bad as the train always has seats. I like that I don't have to wear tights anymore as it was getting challenging with bump in the way.

However, I am not sleeping well due to the hip pain if I sleep on one side too long. And spd is very painful when you decide to turn in bed.

Part of me wants baby to arrive at 37weeks but I am working till 38 weeks and would like to at least have a week to myself. I will see if I can bring maternity leave forward by 1week to 37 weeks.

Oh yes and feet swelling in the evening.

deb1407 · 25/05/2017 11:04

It's a heatwave in Scotland 25 to be precise! It's days like this I'm glad I took early Mat leave!!

How are we all doing!? Let's get a proper thread of support going here - no one understands what we are going through right now quite like us!

Ps. I'm nuts - Joined slimming world this morning!

ColourfulOrangex · 25/05/2017 11:09

The heat is driving me mad :( I'm sleeping with a fan on overnight just so I can get a bit of sleep in between the endless trips to the toilet!

I've just finished packing as we are going away for half term and I feel like I've run a marathon 

You joined slimming world @deb1407?? You need ice cream and lots of ice lollies in this weather...good luck with it I don't think I would have the will power in this heat lol

I know the feeling. In 2015 I was pregnant. Due August 30th. And of course July and August seemed to be so hot. And being 8-9 months, I just wanted it over.
I was small (measured 30 weeks at 37, and my baby was 6lb 7oz, so not big at all, but I was still uncomfortable, and really wanting to be sat outside in the sun with a lovely cold refreshing vodka orange and lemonade. )

deb1407 · 25/05/2017 12:47

@ColourfulOrangex when are you due again?

My 5 year old is away for a week to Rhodes with my ex husband and his family. I am missing him terrible, my son, not my ex husband ConfusedGrin but should be taking the break and time with baby daddy to chill.

ColourfulOrangex · 25/05/2017 13:29

I'm due 19th July, I already have a 6 year old who was 18 days early so I'm hoping his sister follows suit but she probably won't lol

Oh I bet your little boy is enjoying it :)

OP posts:
deb1407 · 25/05/2017 19:35

@ColourfulOrangex - my little one was 18 days early, I'm praying for the same again, but time will tell! I'm due 2nd July. Really hoping for a June baby!

This heat is unbearable, dreading bedtime tonight!

UnbornMortificado · 25/05/2017 20:22

The heat is dreadful, it's supposed to be hotter tomorow in my area. I'm not looking forward to it.

deb1407 · 30/05/2017 09:24

How are we all getting on?

35+2 - midwife today! My false labour last week kicked my ass.

Got lots of pain around cervix area. Wondering if she will examine me today!?

ColourfulOrangex · 30/05/2017 20:54

How did the midwife go @deb1407?

We are on holiday at the minute just at a haven but it's quite nice having a swimming pool on your doorstep and I don't even like swimming!

We've had a lovely thunderstorm today though Grin

ColourfulOrangex · 02/06/2017 16:57

How's everyone getting on?

Back to normality for us next week, school etc

Still very hot here

deb1407 · 02/06/2017 17:20

@ColourfulOrangex - Still here, still pregnant, 35+5, hanging in there! How are you?

I started EPO capsules this morning, sadly my gran passed away today so the next few weeks will be a daze, not exactly how I wanted to take my mind off things

ColourfulOrangex · 02/06/2017 18:43

Oh no I'm so sorry about your Gran Flowers

Only 33+2 it seems to be dragging, her movements have become a lot more forceful recently too and she has found my ribs! Hmm

Is the EPO to induce labour?

OP posts:
ColourfulOrangex · 07/06/2017 15:18

34 weeks today and I want her out :( I'm tired, hot and irritable, suffering (still) from heartburn and also now got acid reflux, these final 6 weeks feel like a lifetime I just want to be comfy 😢
