Had a bad morning.

I'm 37 +2. I got that SPD thing going on and I cannot express how painful moving is.

I woke up this morning after another crap sleep and I just couldn't help it, I clung onto the kitchen side waiting for the kettle to boil and literally sobbed every tear out of my head.

I'm hoping this was just a hormone thing. I feel better now I've had a self pity cry.

I know logically I just need to get on with it. Anyone else had an extreme snot filled sob towards the end?!

You poor thing :-( i feel you. Im 39 weeks and the whole of the last 2 weeks I've woken at least twice every night to vomit bile and be in extreme pain from heart burn. I'm so fed up of getting into bed and instant acid attatcks. I want my sleep before the baby comes :-( xxx

The sleep thing doesn't even bother me. It's the constant pain. I can't wait to be free from pain. I will wake up every hour to a screaming baby over this waking up every hour to pain any day! I do think it's hilarious how other people like to say "you won't get any sleep once the baby arrives". I've not had sleep for weeks! I'm a misery today.

Oh heartburn is the worst. I had a bad bout seems to settle with that peptac stuff from the chemist. But I've been lucky it's not been severe like yours sounds.

Not long left and then apparently we will forget all this fun stuff!!

I feel your pain. 31 weeks here and can't get comfortable at all turning sides every half an hour with hip pain and getting up to wee what feels like every 5 mins through the night. I'm so tired and I can't see it getting any better before baby is here! Feel like I'm never going
To have a good nights sleep ever again! X

I'm 38+2 and also so fed up. The past two and a half weeks I've cried on and off for no reason. I sat in the Tesco car park and sobbed for about 20 minutes because my parcel wasn't going to be ready to collect until 3pm. I just want baby here now!

Flowers for you. Feel better soon!

Gothbaby · 11/08/2017 12:26

The sleep thing isn't bother ing me too.much actually. It's the fact I'm in so much pain when I wake up and vomming bile is horrendous! I'm so impatient and fed up now xx

I've had two or three sobbing meltdowns. And I mean uncontrollable sobbing, shoulders shaking, snot running, world had ended meltdowns. I'm fairly sure they were hormonal as they were totally over the top reactions and I literally couldn't control them. On the plus side, I normally felt a bit better afterwards!

I think it's a mix of being uncomfortable, fed up and tired of being pregnant which makes you feel a bit miserable, chuck in a good dose of irrational hormones and you've got yourself a meltdown!

I'm only 32 weeks and already feel like am done with this! Severe anaemia means I can barely walk without being breathless and my heart feels like it's about to beat out of my chest. I'm trying my best to give my 4 year old ds a fun summer before he starts school and I'm literally falling asleep mid sentence. And my sickness returned 2 weeks ago so spending most evenings throwing up.

Only another 8-10 weeks to go!!

I didn't have spd. But I was kicked inside out from 30 weeks and didn't sleep well from quite early on. I cried the one night I slept for more than 3 hours. I cried in a multi storey car park when I realised I was going to have to garage my 'fun' car and use my daily car because I couldn't get out of it without assistance the bigger I got. I bawled my eyes out in the changing rooms of a clothing store when I couldn't find any long tunic/jumpers that I liked. So it's defo hormones OP, and add to that the pain of spd, you're doing really well Flowers

Toriamayrose · 11/08/2017 13:05

39+2 & another fellow sufferer of SPD , having my 3rd dd so impossible to always rest as have a nine year old & 2 year old so know your pain, I actually had my worst experience of this SPD at 36/37 weeks so hopefully it will get better for u too, been lucky I have a lot of family around me who have helped tons but none of them seem to understand how bad SPD can be & it can feel rather lonely suffering in silence when all u want to do is lie down and cry at least once a day but all your family see is a pregnant woman moaning, my daughters have been fab though too espes my 9 year old helps me with most of the things I really struggle with like picking the odd thing up off the floor for me, the constant ache in my pelvis is so tiring I feel about 80 years old walking around & I have myself worrying a lot more about this ones birth compared to my first two because of this SPD but I tell myself she be worth it all & I'm sure doctors & that know what they on about & that I don't have long left, I haven't got anything I found that helps my SPD though sorry just take stairs as little as poss don't bend low as much as poss & don't walk up hills & that as they the worst things for setting my SPD raging xx

Jellybabie3 · 11/08/2017 14:15

I dont have spd but at 34 weeks i wake every hour with bad pains in both legs. Tossing and turning all night. The only thing that stops it is to get up....so rather counterproductive to sleep! Love being preg but dread getting into bed everynight. Its such an effort! One more week of work so i am hoping i can get some naps in soon

Kittysparks1 · 11/08/2017 15:27

I feel better. I feel like such a whinge bag sometimes. I've had a day off life today I'm not even dressed. Minimal housework. Just ran a bath. However the only comfortable position is sideways for me so makes bathing a little awkward. I will wait for my partner to come home from work where he will have the delightful task of washing me, poor sod.

I feel for you lot with children/Work to contend with. I went on maternity very early thank god. So I can just perch on the sofa feeling sorry for myself all day.

Feeling your pain. Rang triage who said it was spd, went to doc to get Physio, she decided it was a UTI, so have amoxicillin, but not convinced tbh!! In a lot of back and pelvis pain. Broke down on husband earlier just because. 33+5.... gaaaah

needsomesunshineandwine · 13/08/2017 01:32

I feel your pain kitty.

32 weeks here, been in a lot of pain and had a good few meltdowns. Will be glad when it's all over.

Still not received any appointments for physio and very much like my 2nd pregnancy, doubt I'll get my appointment through while pregnant 😏
