Third trimester and feeling horrendous

I'm 32 weeks' with my third and feeling awful. Nausea is rubbish, but the worst thing of all is I just can't get comfortable. Can't sleep because every time I lie down I feel sick and dizzy. I don't remember it being this bad with my last two pregnancies but then again it's 10 years in since my last one and I'm 39 now!

Lockdown isn't helping of course as nothing to take my mind of feeling so unwell.

I tried to have a bath yesterday but had to get out after about two mins as I felt really close to passing out.

I'm huge but no mw appts to measure fundal height and I honestly don't think I can do this for eight plus more weeks.

Anybody else in a similar situation?

I have been looking for a thread like this.

I am feeling exactly the same, not so much sickness but constant discomfort and back pain. Oh and baby's kicks actually hurt now, Braxton hicks and needing to pee all the time.😡

All I say can say is that I feel your pain and totally agree this COVID-19 situation is making it worse. 🙁

All I can say is at least we are coming to the end of our pregnancies. (I'm 36+5) the finish line is in sight

31 weeks and so over this pregnancy, I feel your pain. Have you got a pregnancy pillow? Or can you get creative and use loads of pillows to support you and keep you upright? Somehow despite taking omeprazole twice a day and drinking gaviscon like it's lemonade I'm still drowning in acid If I lay too flat. Honestly between 18 weeks of hypermesis and 11 weeks of Placenta Previa anxiety (including one mega bleed and a hospital trip) and now hideous SPD and PGP this kiddo had better be beyond cute! Why haven't you had a midwife app?

I’m the same, still having random bouts of morning sickness, braxton hicks that feel like contractions, no appetite, back pain, rib pain and restless legs. It’s terrible.

It's good to know I'm not the only one. Just attempted the washing up but only got about half way through before my stomach and back started playing up!
I'm also not getting a full night's sleep at all as my youngest (9) is struggling with the coronavirus situation atm and won't settle/wakes seeking a cuddle and reassurance at 4 am every morning.
I'm terrified how I'm going to cope when baby is here. Have two boys already and OH is a key worker. I have parents that live in the same village but obviously they can't help right now.

I am getting nausea sickness and reflux still, the reflux happens while I sleep so I suddenly wake up with a mouthful and have to run to the loo in the night 🙄
Between that and aching ribs and hard to roll over its not been a fun ride lol
