Well i am 39 weeks pregnant and i'm so done with it, i have SPD, painful cramping for past few days, the start of a throat infection/cold and just feeling dizzy and tired. Need to tidy my messy house ( its literally a dump) but i cant even bend down without pain and feeling like my legs are going to break.

I wish you just knew what day they would come.

Doesn't help that i have a 11 month old at home testing my patience :D

Heavily pregnant with a baby to look after. I’m not surprised your exhausted.

Do you have anyone who can help out a bit? Take the baby or do some house work?

Lots of sympathy. I am 28 weeks with spd, a messy house and FOUR dc underfoot Shock

Wish I had some helpful advice! But just sympathy. I’m 31 weeks and my 4 year old is exhausting me, nevermind a 11 month old.
Flowers not long to go!

Thank you guys yeah indeed its horrible isn't it, I'm the size of a hot air balloon Haha

My auntie is going to come round tomorrow to help me clean and i have a wonderful mum, also have a husband who i will be putting to work this weekend whilst i can :D

Thought yesterday was going to be the day i popped as the cramps got very painful but they've settled down now

Good luck to everyone in your pregnancy too :)

I hope maybe a family member can come and actually clean for you while you rest. I had this age gap too and this bit is awful. I was so exhausted it was maddening.

Hold tight though, youre on the home stretch now x
