How many weeks are you and how do you feel?

I'm coming up to 30 weeks with 3rd baby and I think I'm hitting the point now where I'm just feeling fed up and like I've been pregnant forever! My body aches, I'm constantly hungry and I'm gaining weight rapidly now despite eating well/sensible. I just feel fat and swollen...

Other than that I'm fine 😂

I’m only 4 weeks and wondering what the hell I’ve done. Sorry I know other people would love to be pregnant and I seem ungrateful but I have really bad health anxiety and face complications every pregnancy so for me it’s hard to think positively 😫 x

Alicespring · 15/04/2021 09:41

26 weeks and feel okay! Had HG up until 16 weeks so anything has got to be better than that 🤣
Getting to the point where sleeping is a challenge though 🙄

Nearly 39 weeks and feeling impatient, but had a bit of a mindset shift today after a lovely acupuncture session and feeling very grateful and relaxed now, going to try enjoy the last few days/weeks of kicks.

(If that sounds too worthy then I'm also so bored of weeing and long to sleep on my back!)

LittleTiger007 · 15/04/2021 11:46

I’m 35 weeks and really need a full nights sleep! This morning I have a foot lodged painfully under my ribs which is making me a bit breathless. Also heartburn and reflux. Other than that I am getting very excited and starting to get the nesting instinct! Today I’m washing baby’s clothes and repacking my hospital bag. I have a lot of actual work to get done before the baby arrives though... so I flit between panicking a bit about that and then feeling exhausted... oh and hungry all the time! 🙂🤪

I'm 39 weeks tomorrow & I'm so over pregnancy now. I'm so hormonal all I do it cry.

romdowa · 15/04/2021 11:48

I'm nearly 10 weeks and the last 7 weeks since I found out seem to have been at least 7 months long. I've been so sick and miserable.

GreenSlide · 15/04/2021 11:57

25 weeks and not feeling too bad. Bit heavy at times. Got some colostrum through today!

Chelyanne · 15/04/2021 12:10

22+2wk, generally feel fine. Cardio kills me and lifting sessions in the gym are a tad depressing as it's getting harder to lift what was warm up weight pre-pregnancy. My hips are showing more symptoms of spd/pgp too, ugh! Struggled to walk after faling asleep on the sofa yesterday, so weird that I can still squat with a 50kg barbell but sitting funny on the sofa throws my hip off.

Babo993 · 15/04/2021 15:35

40 weeks tomorrow and I'm so done. I have a sweep booked in for the morning so hoping it works!! Knowing my luck I'll go way overdue and will have to be induced!

Rosieposy89 · 15/04/2021 15:47

I'm 17+3 and struggling. It's my first pregnancy. I have symptoms of SPD/PGP and can barely walk. I have a physical disability including hip dysplasia so expected some pelvic issues but not this soon into pregnancy!

Sceptre86 · 15/04/2021 15:52

I'm 20 weeks and on my days off from work it varies, some days I am just tired, others I have loads of energy and srltart cleaning windows. On days where I have been at work, I end up with sore legs and swollen ankles, I have to wear support stocking and tubigrip over my bump to help with the back and hip pain. I am still trying to exercise though but my motivation is very low when I am sore. I am trying my best to take it one day at a time as I have other children to take care of.

Bloghat · 15/04/2021 15:56

I am 35 weeks and generally okay. Third baby, will be having a section in 3 weeks. Worried about childcare for my other two as they are little and haven't left them with anyone before.

mamatocaptainchaos · 15/04/2021 15:59

22weeks 4 days- extremely anxious as had my son at 29 weeks. Having cervical scans every two weeks and due one next Tuesday. Really hoping it's above 30mm so I won't be an emergency stitch.

I'd love to be able to carry full term and have my perfect birth- hypnobirthing at a birth centre. But I just have a feeling I'll be around the same gestation as my son was!!

Second baby
This pregnancy has felt far more physically exhausting than the first - my 3 year old is generally really patient and occupies himself - yesterday he was a horror for the whole day -
Today he's been lovely and he's sat beside me playing with his stickers

Definitely wishing away the last few weeks
I'm large, achey, cannot poop properly, tired , heartburn and waking so many times in the night

LittleTiger007 · 15/04/2021 16:04

@Babo993 good luck for tomorrow!!

Moon12345 · 15/04/2021 16:05

28 weeks and feeling great! Been so lucky to have had an amazing, straightforward pregnancy so far and just generally feel so excited about meeting baby, whilst at the same time cherishing the days where they’re on the inside, just me and them, and I get to carry them. All the love already!

WaitingForNormality · 15/04/2021 16:05

32+1 and on and off fed-up. It's my second.

Anyone else struggling to get comfy on the sofa at night? I just feel like baby is taking up so much room (I'm short so that doesn't help) and I basically fidget around for an hour before giving up and going to bed early where I can lie down more comfortably. Although I'm now finding being in bed is even a bit uncomfortable.

I usually manage to fall asleep easily, but I'm up 3 times a night for a wee and usually means I'm awake tossing and turning for an hour each time. Thankfully I'm not too tired during the day, but its just frustrating being awake so much at night.

I've got section booked for 39+1 and I'm so relieved to know the end is in sight in 7 weeks!

DoveGreylove · 15/04/2021 16:06

9+4 with 2nd baby over here and feeling really sick 24/7... It feels like there is no end in sight even though I know (hope) it'll get better by week 14.

SingingWaffleDoggy · 15/04/2021 16:10

@Rosieposy89 I had this earlier on, but I think as baby becomes bigger it sits differently as it got better for a while. At 37 weeks now and it’s back but that’s to be expected.
I feel like a hippo trying to keep a bowling ball between my legs Blush luckily, not particularly hormonal or tearful but I’m not usually anyway

Amrythings · 15/04/2021 16:56

28 weeks and starting PGP, argh. Plus DS has rediscovered the joy of napping on me of a Saturday, which is fine but that's both of them kicking at once!

And I'm tired to death. I was moving house at this stage last time! I just want to nap so much.

bubblebath62636 · 15/04/2021 17:00

30 weeks tomorrow, fed up.

Still haven't heard from my c section request, dd age 12 and with ASD having friendship issues at school.

I'm a hormonal mess and worrying about everything at the moment, plus I'm fucking huge!

HumunaHey · 15/04/2021 17:09

25 weeks with my second DC. Feeling ok most of the time but feel my belly is much bigger comparatively with my first.

Not really a fan of how much I've been left to it this time around. Hardly any contact with my MW just because I had a straightforward pregnancy with my 1st Confused

Chelyanne · 15/04/2021 17:24

@HumunaHey I was thinking the same. I'm on baby 6 and only had face to face apps twice despite being under consultant led care. Feels weird as my last were twins and I was at hospital every 4 weeks with them. I do have 3 appointments booked in for next month though, GTT, anti-D and consultants.

wishfulthinking10 · 15/04/2021 17:53

33 weeks and feeling it. Spd/pgp aswel which isn't fun, but on the whole generally ok and really looking forward to meeting my baby GrinGrin

Rubyrecka · 15/04/2021 18:05

16+1 and I'm feeling ok! Thankfully seem to have got some energy back
