Stressed out and just fed up 29 weeks

[anitagreen]

Hello is anyone else feeling like this. I just feel so stressed out and fed up I think it's the fact I'm in a lot of pain with Sciatica, I have a 3&4 year old and it's just becoming to much I'm constantly up and down running around I can't seem to actually relax even when they are in bed. I just feel really tearful and worried that it's to much or that I'll end up with depression or something. Some days I do get up feeling happy but then the kids start and I just feel like shite again.

I'm 34 weeks but can totally relate to this. I've got a 2 and 4 year old already and have found this pregnancy really really hard work. For some reason I feel incredibly stressed, not depressed as such but anxious and stressed. I'm like you, even feel stressed when I'm sat on the sofa by myself and not needing to do anything! I can't pinpoint why.

There is no time to rest at all and I feel guilty that this pregnancy is a bit of an inconvenience to be honest (the pregnant part, not the baby, I really want the baby), I had bleeding the other week and it was such a stress organising childcare so I could go into hospital.

I have no advice but I do know how you feel.

@mistermagpie Thank you for the reply that is how I feel very anxious and just overwhelmed with it all, I too was up the hospital this week for reduced movements and I had to sort out childcare first for these two which took ages even though it was so important to go in and be seen. I'm finding it all just really draining and I'm wishing that I do go into labour around 37 weeks and just have the baby here now instead of struggling so much. I hope things get better for you too

You are definitely not alone in feeling like this! I'm just shy of 27 weeks and I literally broke down yesterday to my husband and said I really dont want to be pregnant anymore! Honestly if I was alot further along I would of been pleading for the hospital to induce me or something lol. Im a mum of 2 already and my god it's like since I've become pregnant it's like talking to two brick walls who seem to want to push me as far as possible by not behaving. Sleeping is becoming sparse meaning I'm so tired constantly. In pain with pgp so cant really go out far on my own with kids I do feel really guilty on them. We will all get there though! Before we know it we will have our little ones in our arms and all this will be like a distant memory!! Altho this is definitely my last time lol xx

I really think it's a different game when you have more than one other child to look after whilst being pregnant. My little one is only 2 so still wants picked up and does that thing where he sits on the pavement when he doesn't want to go somewhere. Most days I don't physically have the strength for him.

You never get a minutes peace and I know we never will again but everything is harder when you're pregnant! I'm just glad I've only got about 6 weeks left, I am DONE.

@Boymummy3 I feel like that too I said the same if I was further I'd ask to be induced I honestly am happy I'm pregnant but I feel so fed up now of being in pain and my moods being up and down. I think what gets me the most is the endless anxiousness of what if this, what if that etc.
I just feel like I'm alone in going through all this, but from the replies it shows I'm not and every one must feel this way at some point. I just don't feel like I'm bloody good enough and that I'm failing at being pregnant it sound so silly now. X

@mistermagpie My son is the same but at bedtime he will not go to bed for me but will when my partners home and takes him to bed, it upsets me so much they are so good for their dad when he's in but with me it's awful. They don't listen hardly and my sons attitude is through the roof and he's only 3 next month . I tried to take a nap tonight and he woke me up 6 times just to tell me he's out his bed

Mine are better for their dad too. My eldest is pretty good all round actually but his brother winds him up and they end up fighting, I've no energy for it just now at all.

Mine both came at 38 and 39 weeks and I'm seriously hoping for the same again, if this baby is late I'm going to be a basket case!

@mistermagpie I hope you get your wish my first was 42*6 I think and my son was 38 weeks I'm praying I follow the 38 weeks again but that's Christmas Day

I have nowhere near as much on as OP and PP - I am only 14 weeks and I have just one child, 2, who is actually at this point pretty easy to handle.
That said, I have just come on here tearfully to see if anyone is feeling as fed up as I am right now. Just realised I’m due in 6 months and I already feel done. I still feel sick all the time, I have started BEING sick, and now the back ache has started - it didn’t started until approx 25 weeks last time. I’m am finding this pregnancy 10x harder than the last, I feel like my body isn’t cut out for it this time. I feel lonely as there isn’t really anyone to talk to about this stuff - it’s all made light of if you say you feel rubbish because I suppose ‘we brought this on ourselves’.
I feel so daunted seeing posts like this that there’s another 6 months to go but also comforted that not everyone takes pregnancy in their stride. I’m really not enjoying this.

@123456kent Ohh no I feel so sorry for you, don't be so hard on yourself I had the sickness too but it did tail off towards 20 something weeks and the back pain now hasn't gone but some days it is ok. You might find it gets easier if you get some help earlier than us in the later stages, my GP said I could have physio now but would of been more beneficial to have when the pain first started. I think we all feel lonely too pregnancy is hard work but it isn't forever thank god I hope you feel better posting on here. X
