I'm approx 29 weeks and so fed up.
Had really bad sickness until week 20ish.
Then a fever / chest infection.
Now have developed acid reflux sickness - but quite badly so back on medication.
I'm not sleeping well.
I need a wee every five minutes.
I'm seriously lacking motivation at work (and I normally like my job!).
I'm feeling really anxious about the stuff I am buying for the baby, there is so much choice and I worry I'm getting it wrong.
Anyone else?

Yup, reminds me of first pregnancy.

Acid reflux - Omeperazole is your friend from the doctor.

See dentist with it as I've lost all my molars at top and bottom thanks to first pregnancy and will need rest of teeth out after this one is born.

Buying stuff for baby is common sense and I'm sure you are doing great!

Time to relax mama!

awwww!! Its pretty grim I hate being pregnant. This is my second and luckily I havent been as sick this time, only at the beginning but its eased off now. Im 24 weeks now.
I have however entered the new and fun world of pissing myself a bit every time I sneeze or cough. Not enough to change underwear, I just wear pads which I change. But it is enough to feel absolutely minging and depressed!!
My back has also started to really hurt all the time and my eczema has got tonnes worse meaning my shoulders are covering in horrible weeping sores. I look about a hundred years old every time i look in the mirror and I feel a hundred years old. Walking up the stairs makes me want to have a lie down.
Its sad for my toddler too as I have absolutely no energy for him. Im relying on cbeebies as a babysitter and its terrible parenting!!

I am fed up and I am only 14 weeks 🙈
Had this chest infection which I haven’t been able to shift for over 5 weeks now, now on antibiotics but still ill. Since the beginning of pregnancy constant colds and sickness.

AnnaLuna · 03/03/2018 17:35

windchimesabotage, I wet myself too when sneezing or coughing 🙈 It is depressing. Wondering if kegels would help with that.

Oh ladies, I actually took the plunge bought some Tena pads, 31 weeks now and the cough/sneeze/pee struggle is real!

sunandfire · 03/03/2018 19:21

Yup. 28 weeks and onto my third seasonal cold. I keep getting terrible colds this pregnancy. My nausea started to subside at 16 weeks, so I feel for you. Acid reflux and heartburn are straight from the pits of hell, I'll tell you that! Since January I've been suffering from nonstop problematic discharge/thrush/pH imbalance (whichever it is - still haven't gotten to the bottom of it), which just won't go away. These Brixton hicks feel like my chest is being squeezed, too. Not too long now, though x

Right there with you. I'm 28 weeks with my 2nd and have absolutely had enough. Constant pelvic and back pain plus insomnia mean I'm hardly getting any sleep and constantly exhausted. Literally coughing on the stomach acid that rises into my throat. I've put loads of weight on and feel the size of a whale. My new favourite symptom is the unbearably itchy horrible spotty rash all over my chest. Aaaargh Angry

Work is always extremely busy and I'm just so tired by the time I get home I can hardly even think. Luckily only 3 weeks left, just need to hang on!

Solidarity to the rest of you fed up pregnant ladies. We'll get there in the end Flowers

I’m 26 weeks and having a really hard time.
Morning sickness is back - only now it is totally random and forceful - so I throw up over the entire room. I’ve also got acid reflux and hip/pelvic pain (along with back pain as I’ve put on lots of weight).
I’m absolutely exhausted - have a toddler too and feel so guilty. Doing bare minimum at work - only 6 weeks left though with annual leave added on.
I’ve had every cold/bug going. Just can’t get better.
Hope everyone feels a little better soon!

NerNerNerNerBATMAN · 03/03/2018 19:46

Oh god yes. I'm 29 weeks too and SO OVER BEING PREGNANT.

Awful HG since the moment sperm met egg, totally exhausted, huge amount of weight gain despite the HG (eating helps, drugs stop the vomiting), double chin, constant rage, ante natal depression (from HG)....the lost goes on...

I'm fed up of myself 😭

Only 11 weeks to go 😭😭😭

NerNerNerNerBATMAN · 03/03/2018 19:48

Oh and YY to the Tena lady. I've had whooping cough since Christmas and now always have to wear a pad. I've tried kegels but the coughing is so violent it's a wonder the baby stays in there, no hope of keeping urine in. Despite this, I still need to wee every 5 nanoseconds and we don't have a downstairs toilet 😭😭😭😭

Boomerangb0bby · 03/03/2018 19:58

When’s everyone finishing work?
I’m due to work to 38 weeks....

I'm starting to feel a bit sorry for myself too with insomnia, spd, reflux and restless legs. I'm 31 weeks today and I'm finishing work for annual leave in 4 weeks time as I'm exhausted and really struggling. I'm going to try and get blood tests this week too as I'm feeling a bit itchy all over but not sure if it's just because I like scratching or whether it's something more sinister.

Steeley113 · 03/03/2018 20:12

I’m 34 weeks and miserable. Hips are so sore, I can’t get comfy, major heartburn going on, I’m exhausted but can’t rest because I have 2 other kids to run around after... And to make matters worse, I dropped a drawer on my foot and broke 2 toes Angry

PasstheStarmix · 03/03/2018 20:18

I felt exactly like you then I got to 42 weeks and was Angry had to be induced. Flowers If one more person said not long now to me I could have swung for them and I’m not a violent person! Flowers
