Anyone else? Sorry, having a moan. Feel free to join me.

Bad SPD, can’t sleep as horribly itchy, acid reflux, keep dripping wee on my leg every time I stand up to wipe my foo after a wee. Not performing at work. DP happily snoring away the minute his beautiful curls touch the goddam pillow.

Seriously cannot take potentially another 8 weeks of this.

Anyone else?

How the fuck do we get through this?!

31 weeks and 2 days here,, comforts a big problem for me just now, I get so angry at night that I can't get comfy that I could literally punch the bed! And as you can probably tell my moods have been awful I feel sorry for my partner as he's had to deal with it every time but I just flip with the slightest things, can't believe I still have 9 weeks!!!!

Oh you poor thing, 15 wees a night that's crazy. You must be exhausted. I'm 36wk and all stressed about my baby still being breech and possibly having to have a section, but the plus point my bladder is not taking the battering it did at this stage with my last head down baby.

34 weeks here too and thoroughly had enough , I had a big meltdown on Sunday where I hated my whole family was like a giant toddler tantrum , face is spotty , boobs are sore , pooing constantly , massive pile , can’t lie down as can’t breathe , can’t get comfy on side as hips hurt and just feel like a witch in general .

orphanblack1 · 17/08/2018 10:28

Def not my waters - def wee!

Oh poor ladies, I honestly thought it couldn’t get worse than first trimester but reckon third is much worse! And why oh why does it go so slowly?!

To top it all off, our neighbours have been having an extension the last 4 months which is STILL going. We have a shared driveway and every day there are around 6-8 vans/cars/lorries blocking me in so feel I can’t come and go as I please or have visitors as nowhere for them to park. They also interrupted my hypno birthing session THREE times the other week despite me telling them in advance midwife needed to park for 2 hours undisturbed. Was told a few weeks ago they’d be finished by end August (I finish work on 30th), now it seems they won’t. Not sure how much more of that I can take!!!!

Jesus orphanblack that would finish me off just now , I was raging at my neighbour for putting bins in at 5.45 this morning , anyone who spoils my precious sleep or rest is the enemy .

orphanblack1 · 17/08/2018 13:30

I have come close to losing it several times!!! But don’t want to piss our neighbours off as they are good neighbours. She’s also expecting but they’ve moved out until Work finished. Is a bit galling though that she gets to enjoy peace and quiet during her maternity leave (she’s due in Dec) whilst we’ve had to spend practically half my pregnancy putting up with their builders!!!

Just hoping they are done soon. I’ve told OH when we move we are never having a shared driveway again!!!

Popped out to get a sarnie (don’t work Fridays and never any food in house by Friday) and went to a charity shop to see if they had baby stuff (left with nothing!) but needed a wee twice whilst out so kept having to find toilets!!! Just not worth going out really!!! Having hair cut at 4 - not been cut since last Sept and looksawful!!!!

Still bloody miserable. Now 36+1 and heartburn seems to be at its worst.

Neighbours pissing me off now. Not going to be finished until end first week September. Mentioned car situation to them and their suggested solution was that the builders park in our garden! No bloody way - they’ve already dropped concrete and god knows what all over our beautiful gravelled driveway there is no way they are parking in our garden!

Anyone would think we were the ones inconveniencing the neighbours not the other way around!!!

My babies were 42 and 41 weeks! I’m going to make them give yo their favourite toy every year between due date and delivery date so they understand how long Jimmy had to wait!!!

Bringonspring · 21/08/2018 18:21

Mummy had to wait! No idea who jimmy is!!

Nothisispatrick · 21/08/2018 18:30

Ugh I’m 33 weeks and the discomfort has really kicked in. Baby foot in my ribs and baby head in my vag, so uncomfortable. I’m hot, can’t do any activity as i am so short of breath, all the deep cleaning I had planned for summer has gone out the window as I can barley manage basic household chores.

I have awful hip pain if I walk for more than 5 mins, takes me days of doing nothing to recover. My knees have now started hurting too.

I’m also waking up 10 or so times a night to pee and getting pee dribble when I stand up, defo not my waters.

Also hot and want this damn summer to end.

To be honest I could keep moaning all day. And this is a low risk, ‘easy’ pregnancy!

orphanblack1 · 21/08/2018 18:55

Hear you on the being unable to do anything, up 10 million times and pee dribble! I have all of that too. Dreading BH weekend as no idea what we’re going to do as I can’t do anything!

I have 5 working days left at work. Finish on 30th. But fear am going to be so bored being off as can’t clean or cook or anything!!!

I keep getting lightening stabbing pains down below 😩😩😩 can’t walk far at all xx

orphanblack1 · 22/08/2018 22:09

Has anyone had a change in vowel habits? I never poo at night but all week my tummy has been getting gripey just before 10pm then there’s an explosion which just stinks like you wouldn’t believe. It’s really odd

OP posts:
LucyLou19 · 22/08/2018 22:12

Nothings really changed in that department except I’ve been more constipated xx

Bella898 · 22/08/2018 22:19

Yeah I was definitely not one of those glowing pregnant women. It was sooo worth it but i didn't enjoy it at the time:

  • bad sciatica from week 20
  • constant sinus infections
  • went to 42 wks over and had a foot in my rib for the last 3 wks

hang on in there! Flowers

splendidsqueak7 · 22/08/2018 22:28

35+4 and had enough. But I also feel bad for feeling like I’ve had enough: I’m so thankful to be pregnant but also I’m miserable! I’m with you all who are using September to encourage baby to come the right side of 40 weeks!!

Nothisispatrick · 23/08/2018 10:47

Yes my bowel habits have definitely changed. They’re quite random now but definitely going more often.

Imsallyb · 23/08/2018 21:16

I'm so glad I'm not the only one struggling and feeling this way (im 31wks).
I can't wait for baby but it's been difficult and frustrating being pregnant! Sitting is uncomfortable, lying is uncomfortable, standing is uncomfortable!
Sleep is hard to come by to only wake up minutes later to wee then repeat all night.
The heartburn and acid is horrific to the point where eating doesn't seem appealing because you know you'll suffer for it.
I hope it eases for you all soon

orphanblack1 · 24/08/2018 09:16

Yeah I get the feeling of guilt. I had a missed miscarriage last August bank hol and swore if I got pregnant again I’d not moan at all. I’m very very grateful to be pregnant (and to be 36+4) but it’s so hard not to moan as it really is horrific!!! I had thought maybe it was so bad as I turn 40 in less than a month but it seems that this is just pregnancy

Off work now until Tues but still eleventy billion builders in drive! Then 3 more working days until start 7 months of leave. Have to say, am ready for it as exhausted.

Last nights delightful symptoms were: up around 10 times for a wee, gripey tummy twice which meant sitting on loo for a while (thankfully was just wind!), cramp in legs, killer thirst (but not wanting to drink as not wanting to be up weeing again) and acid reflux. I’m aldo snoring like a large dinosaur

havetothink you've basically described my state exactly! I'm 31 weeks and have a 2 yr old who needs entertaining too. And i cant decide whether its better to sleep witgiut the support and be marginally less sweaty or sleep with it and be more comfortable but feel like I'm melting!
