36 weeks and 'period' pain

[elmo1980]

Just feel like a whinge really.

I'm suffering terribly with spd meaning I can no longer look after my 15 month old on my day off so having to put him in nursery 5 days a week, so feel guilty as hell about That, then last couple of days started to get really bad period type pain across lower stomach and back - not contracting just a constant dull ache.

This pregnancy is so different to my first and I hate that I'm moaning about it as I am genuinely happy just fed up of feeling so useless and in pain. And I've still got 3 more weeks of work as I stupidly thought I'd be fine considering how easy it first pregnancy was. What a twat!

My dp is being so supportive and doing everything he can around the house and bringing me naughty food so don't want to whinge any more to him.

Why dont you bring your mat leave forward? It sounds like its really tough for you right now and your body could do with the break.

Keep ds in childcare 5 days until after the baby arrives.

Could you have a UTI?

You just keep doing what you need to do to get to the end of your pregnancy, your DC will not mind extra nursery time.

Don't feel guilty growing a tiny person is hard work!!

Don't think it's a uti I had urine checked at midwife appt 2 days ago and all was fine.

Could potentially bring mat leave forward just feel guilty then about the projects I have to wrap up although they are almost done so might see how next week goes.

Thanks for the nursery comments he does love it there I just feel bad we won't have any more 1 on 1 time now, feel like I'm losing him.

Honestly seeing him flourish into a big brother will make you love him in new ways. Its beautiful to watch.

Napqueen that's just made me cry!

Aww man I didnt mean to do that!

My 6yo dd is never cuter than when she is beside herself with joy on seeing her brother, 3yo, do or learn something new.
