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 😂

How many weeks are you and how do you feel?

Nearly 39 weeks. Like I'm walking through concrete carrying an elephant!

9+4. Sick everyday and I have spd already!!

[quote Chelyanne]@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.[/quote]
Gosh, I can only imagine the complacency with a 5th pregnancy. Add covid into the mix and it does feel a little neglectful.

It’s so reassuring to see everyone feeling the same, I’m 32 weeks, shattered and getting fatter every day! People always say how amazing pregnancy is etc but I am yet to get to the amazing bit Confused xx

Tentatively joining...sorry I don't know the lingo! But last period was 28 Feb and several positive tests over the past few days - although most recently a Clear Blue which said I was 2-3 weeks Confused So not sure how far along I am and no symptoms at all yet which is making it all feel unreal. Anyone else? I don't want to feel rough, but then at least I'd know something is happening!

It was planned and I am excited but I've also been feeling pretty overwhelmed. We just moved to a house that needs lots of work and we don't really know anyone, we've got a dog really recently too. Feeling nervous about missing out on the vaccine too. If you can't guess, I'm definitely a worrier...

Oops sorry some of that was on the wrong thread! And I'm guessing you probably don't want to hear about me having no symptoms Blush

Analysethat · 15/04/2021 20:49

I’m 37+3 and absolutely done with this. My back is so sore as is my hips and just long to feel normal again.

Rebecca299 · 15/04/2021 22:31

38+4 section booked for 21st April.

I'm over being pregnant the pain and pressure in my back passage is driving me nuts tonight. Knowing my luck I will go in to labour and be a big drama 🤷🏼‍♀️

Salvationz · 15/04/2021 22:40

16 weeks - really down, nauseous, unwell, tired. Just plodding along unnoticed really x

FemaleLady · 15/04/2021 22:46

i am 28+5, seems like i am going be stuck in bed till she arrives. my back cant take the weight anymore. first pregnancy by the way. only exercise i get is walking to the loo and back to bed, hate it. i miss taking a walk outside.

FluWorldOrder · 15/04/2021 22:49

21 weeks and sooo exhausted! And depressed.

Nesski · 15/04/2021 23:08

30 weeks and so done with this now. The tiredness has returned so lunchtime naps are a must. Pregnancy is rubbish, if I could skip all of this and just end up with a baby I would.

Babo993 · 15/04/2021 23:23

@rosieposy89 I have pgp/spd from about 4/5 months and its been awful! I have slept on a blow up bed since about 6 months and it has honestly been the best thing as I was waking up every hour in bed in agony as it was too hard on my hips.

I struggle with sitting at angles as the pain has moved from my back to my pubic bone and I have a bruised feeling there when moving my legs and straining. Paracetamol does actually help a little and baths are the amazing! No pain in a bath and I sit in there for hours 😂

I hope yours doesn't get too bad, it's different for everyone

Babo993 · 15/04/2021 23:26

@littletiger007 thank you 😊 I'm really nervous as it's this is my first so have no idea what to expect in terms of labour etc. I've only experienced period like cramps when having BH so have no idea what contractions feel like! I'm hoping the sweep wont be painful.

RandomlySelectedUsername · 15/04/2021 23:55

9 weeks and feeling mostly quite well, just exhausted! So impatient counting down the days to my 12 week scan & actually being able to tell people/talk about it ❤️

EdithGrantham · 16/04/2021 00:02

26+3 and feeling pretty good so far, starting to worry I should have kept up some sort of fitness routine though so going to try and do some gentle walking and pregnancy specific exercises from tomorrow. Will see how long I keep that up when I'm back at work next week!!

To everyone earlier than me with anxiety please, please get yourself referred via IAPT for some support. I did it at around 6 weeks, was having CBT sessions around a month later and they helped so much, I'm now also on their system so although I'm not having sessions anymore I can ring any time and get more booed in up to when my baby is a year (expectant and new mums are a priority)

Merrz · 16/04/2021 09:13

20 weeks and feeling pretty good.
Found the first few months really tough and feel like i've only just got over that 1st trimester sickness/exhaustion, which didn't only last 1st trimester Hmm
Still a bit tiered bit trying to use this time to get organised and on top of things so i'm prepared if it all goes down hill again!

I hope it goes well for you! This is my first too and this morning I had what I think was a braxton hicks. It was the first time (since about weeks6-9) that I’ve felt what feels like period pains, so I assume it’s that. I’m 35 weeks.
I hope the sweep isn’t too uncomfortable. Keep us posted!

TheGlitterFairy · 17/04/2021 08:43

25+6 and very grumpy at the moment. Haven’t slept properly for months - find it hard to drift off then only get a few hours. Need to wee a couple of times in the night too which doesn’t help so grouchy in the morning.
Not feeling as fit as I did ore pregnancy, am waking a lot and pregnancy yoga twice a week too but harder to get into position than before (obvs).
Need to give myself a talking to as all fine other than this!!!
