I fancy a moan. Anyone else want to join me?

I fancied a moan!

Everyone asks me how are you? And I always say "fine, just tired"

But really I want to say: my belly button is knocking me sick, my baby has it's foot permanently in my ribs, my hips and pelvis constantly ache, my nipples itch, my discharge is out of control and it feels like everything is falling out when I go to the toilet.

Hopefully only another 5 weeks of this. Grin

Please someone else come along and moan as well.

39 weeks and can't bloody wait to have this baby out.

Sore back and hips.
Dry skin.
Everything is effort - showering, getting dressed, making anything more than a sandwich.
Pressure on my bladder.
DP constantly asking 'what's up?' I'M CARRYING A HUMAN that's what's up!
Every time I feel a twinge hoping it's time and then... nope, just need a poo. Confused

I'm so glad it's not just me who is struggling!

I could have written every post on this thread!

38 weeks and desperate for baby to arrive.

Been on mat leave for ages due to bad back and spd.

Constant period type pain in back and sometimes bump. Nope, not baby coming, it's been like that for weeks.

Braxton hicks for weeks then some sort of false labour for a couple of days about a weeks ago. Again, nope not baby coming, just my sodding uterus making me feel even more uncomfortable.

Twinges and stabby pains but again, no signs of baby making an appearance.

Apparently sex will spur things on but I'm now so massive I feel like a beached whale and I honestly don't know if i could manage it. Haven't done it for weeks and weeks due to spd. Not to mention in not sure DH would go for it as I look like a beached whale too.

Been chugging down raspberry leaf tablets for 3 weeks. Nothing happening.

Baby now so big (had a growth scan, she's 90% length) that her little kicks have bruised under my ribs and when she shifts about it actually hurts now.

Can't sleep for more than 2 hours at a time thanks to needing the sodding loo constantly, then getting there and realising it's baby pressing on bladder and I've got no pee to pee out.

Can't drive more than a mile or so anymore due to SPD and Braxton hicks / fake contractions so pretty much stuck in the house all day by myself. DH comes home from a stressful job and all i can do is winge and cry.

I'm honestly so grateful to be having a baby I can't tell you. It's all I've wanted for years. But I'm now a hormonal emotional wreck and I just want her here Sad

I feel for you all! 23 weeks work I have all of this to come! Fed up of 'do you know what you're having?' Yes but I'm not telling you, resulting in them complaining. Mil just generally being rude and making me feel useless and I've got to put up with her on Saturday. I've had some tightening, felt bloody weird so not looking forward to feeling that more! Discharge! Sorry to a bit grim but why do our bodies feel the need?! Acid reflux driving me insane. After a full day in work my feet bloody kill no matter what I do. Oh has buggered off out, I'm lying on the couch with a banging headache wishing he would cook for me for once instead of me doing it. ARGH! Sorry I have no friends to talk to so this is the only place I can vent!

I just nearly cried in Morrisons because they didn't have the pizza I wanted. I am not handling this well!

Heartburn, extremely painful to turn in bed, sore back and arms that make me turn, toilet trips, massive boobs & belly, no patience, blocked up and very sore vag bone when walking.

Don't know how I'll cope with another 10 weeks, no doubt 12 if baby is like siblings 😰😳

willymcwill · 27/07/2017 12:03

Thank God, I have found my people!

Yes I'm huge, yes it is uncomfortable in this heat, yes I have longer to go than it looks!

Everything is pissing me off, I've given up pretending to be the happy blooming pregnant lady and have turned into a massive grump. Fricking anaemic so I'm tired even when I'm 'lounging around all day doing nothing', fricking uncomfortable cause I'm growing an off the chart mammoth baby (thanks Dh!), fricking heartburn after eating anything, fricking starving so I need to eat constantly, fricking braxton hicks just to piss baby off so he'll kick me more in the ribs, fricking fanny daggers, enough discharge to float a battleship and throw in the odd bit of spotting just to keep things interesting.

And breathe Smile

Only another seven weeks of this shit Hmm

needsomesunshineandwine · 27/07/2017 12:11

🤣🤣🤣 @willymcwill

Made me giggle, sorry!! Nearly there 😁🤗

Gierg · 27/07/2017 13:00

enough discharge to float a battleship

This made me laugh!! SO TRUE!

38 weeks and tired of not being able to sleep on my front and peeing a million times a night...

SairdyJane25 · 27/07/2017 21:26

33 weeks

Bad spd and sciatica that means sleeping more than 2 hours at a time an absolute luxury. Also means if I sit for too long or lie back on the sofa I can't stand as my leg has gone completely numb.
Utterly exhausted, way more than last time.
2.5 year old son who is a 'doer' and doesn't get that mummy can't hide under his bed with him.
MiL telling me that my feet will be swollen and I'll be peeing for England and really tired. No shit Sherlock!!
We know it's a girl so everyone asks if we have a name, am so bored of repeating, we have a couple of choices but want to meet her first.
I am so moody and miserable I'm actually annoying myself!! Who'd have a baby, eh?
Good luck ladies xx

SairdyJane25 · 27/07/2017 21:28

Almost forgot!! Trapped wind!!! Genuinely worse than labour some days!!

WantingBaby1 · 28/07/2017 09:02

Omg the trapped wind is bad!!!!

SellMySoulForSomeSleep · 28/07/2017 09:30

My pregnancy app just told me I've gained an extra 66 litres of fluid.

That seems to be mainly my ankles.

Flowers to everyone else with swamps of discharge. I'm 28 weeks and have serious chub rub on my upper thighs and now under my boobs as the bloody MW shouted at me for wearing underwired bras so I got non-wired ones which are shite and so uncomfortable. Boobs were 34FF before I got pregnant so it's like I've got two big bags of flour in a shitty carrier bag.

Going to treat myself to some...Sudocrem Hmm

And my mood is so up and down.

Chloris33 · 28/07/2017 16:33

Thank you for this thread! SairdyJane I could've written your post. Ditto sciatica, spd, active 2.5 yr old who wants to play hide and seek (and will literally not let me sit on sofa without physically attacking me). Also bad insomnia, wake every night at 3am and can't get back to sleep. DH doesn't seem to get pregnancy hormones - do they ever? Please baby don't be overdue 2 weeks like DS was!
