I just really need to whinge.

I can't sleep. My back hurts, my tummy hurts, my boobs hurt, I can't get comfy and it's making me really ratty.
I'm so so grateful to be in this position, 35 year old mum of 2, pregnant with number 3 on the first month trying- I know how lucky I am, I really do. I just needed to have a whinge and be all woe is me because my beloved is sound asleep next to me so I can't cry to him. 😂

If I can't sleep I tense every muscle from my toes up to my face and back down again one after the other -sounds a bit nuts now I've written it down but helps me anyway . Or find some headphones and try some sleep meditations x

*tense and release I must add - not lying there like a board x

Same here OP, pregnant with the third and getting some dodgy pains tonight, but I'm inmy 24 weeks. Think its jmjust wind but I'm already fed up. I've been so ill, on loads of medication, back has been aching since about 11 weeks, no idea why, I'm up at least twice for the toilet at night but that's when I get really thirsty and can't drink water until about 4 in the afternoon. I'm just bloody fed up. It was also an unexpected pregnancy. I thought I was done having babies but here I am doing it all again and I'm scummered already.

Iminaglasscaseofemotion I have also just found out I am pregnant with my third.

Can I please ask was there any doubt you would keep it? I've got such a mix of emotions going through my head but I'm happy with life as it is and a third scares the life out of me and I'm not really sure id mentally cope with a third (my second was hard).
My husband and I are feeling the same although I think he would really like another but he doesn't understand the stress I would be under. Thanks x

Please whinge on, pregnancy is bloody hard, I'm 34 weeks with my second and so uncomfortable, the babies head is so low it feels like it's going to fall out my backside sometimes 😂😂 it's such a magical time isn't it ha x

As much as I'm glad I'm not alone in this, I'm really sorry you're all uncomfortable too!

I'm only 8 weeks on so god only knows how I'm going to be going forward.
I can already feel the start of spd (or pgp- don't even know what they call it these days)

@rperrina only you can answer that one my love, ultimately it's up to you. There is no shame in making the difficult decision to stop a pregnancy.
It is a very personal choice and only you know what is right for you and your family. Sending you strength and love.

Well....here's to many more sleepless nights I guess! 😂

Yep 27 weeks with no. 3, very lucky at nearly 39, first month of trying but its bloody hard this time! Constant back ache, knackered, horrendous SPD that started at 18 weeks. We also just moved so I'm living in box and were living around the decorator for a few weeks. Cant relax at all and its doing my head in. I think I may sleep better with a newborn than I am now!
