33 weeks and feeling really rubbish

[bleachblondemom]

I’m lucky to have had a low-risk, fairly easy pregnant so far, even the first trimester wasn’t that bad, but I’ve got to 33 weeks and it’s suddenly gone downhill.
I’m really tired and low-energy, i struggle to get up in the morning then when I go to bed it takes me ages to get to sleep even though I’m tired. I’ve started feeling nauseous again too throughout the day. My groin and whole pelvic area really hurts. Sex drive is at absolute zero. And I’m a bit depressed cos my area is now tier 2 and it has me worrying about all these restrictions still being in place when I have the baby, especially when I’m in labour.
Also I’ve had 2 midwife appointments so far and she said both times that baby is head down but I keep feeling like it’s gone transverse again, especially at night. So I spend all day frantically prodding and poking my bump trying to figure out baby’s position, but I just can’t tell at all. So that’s stressing me out.
So yeah just feeling generally crap at the moment and there’s nothing I can do about any of it 😕 guess I just wanted to get it off my chest as I struggle to open up to friends and family about this kind of thing. I feel like I have to constantly act like I’m fine because I just cannot be arsed with everyone’s questions and comments.

Have you spoken to your midwife about your anxiety and pelvic/groin pain? They should be able to recommend something to help you.

It's really hard going as you get later on - this is my second but I found that having to slow down really hard in my first pregnancy. As for baby moving, the vast majority of babies are head down but by the end stages there's not a huge amount of room and they're all squished up - unless you get a definite kick it's hard to know exactly where they are, I think mine keeps pushing her back/bum against my belly button in the evening and it's really painful!

I am 33 weeks too and feel worried about all the same things! But ultimately it’s all out of my control so I’m trying to keep busy, see friends while I still can and cross each bridge as I come to it.
