Hi
Im currently in my seventh month of pregnancy. Throughout this pregnancy, in addition to a nasty bout of sciatica which left me in excruciating pain and bed bound for a few weeks, and currently sporting a sprained ankle after falling down in my front garden :( , i just feel so so so tired of dealing pain.
I don't want to make this a whinge fest but there is always some type of pregnancy pain to deal with everyday. I have IBS too which has worsened, adding to it all.
I feel so drained, and wondering how on earth I will cope once labour starts.
I know labour pain leads to a baby, and i can imagine forgetting all of these things when the baby is finally here, but i expect that i'll be so tired by the end.
This is not my first pregnancy, ive dealt with pregnancy issues in my previous pregnancies, but I was always more positive in my others! Its not that I dont know the techniques etc, i had an amazing birth last time round, its just I feel floored psychologically.
I dont expect to get any nesting instincts at all at the moment, and am thinking of booking in some cleaners in the next few weeks to so something akin to a end of tenancy clean, which will def help me mentally.
Any tips on how i can recharge mentally? i do try to relax at the end of each day, bath, massage etc but it doesn't seem to be enough.
thank you for reading :)
