Gross pregnancy moan

[MrsCremuel]

So disclaimer - I’m very happy to be pregnant! Also feeling very sorry for myself this eve. DH away for two nights and I’m fending solo with my 27mo.

I’m so tired. I’m constipated, I now have piles and also the vulval varicose veins have flared up just to top it off. I’m waddling my way through the last trimester. I’m 31 weeks, 2 months to go. God knows what state it will be down there by then.

Please feel free to share your pregnancy woes and makes me feel less repulsive! Misery loves company right?

Im only 17+2 baby no.3 but cant tie my laces, my partner has to. Also i get the full up with baby when trying to eat. Its so frustrating!!!!!

Would love a moan too!! 31 weeks have just recovered from the most painful infected tooth of my life on paracetamol every 8 hours.. I now have the worst thrush of my life from the antibiotics.. I’m scratching like a flee down there. Thank god I’m shut up in my home else I would probably be in some kind of secure unit.. I also haven’t had a shit in days now.. not sure when I should begin to worry. Hips are currently in agony and that’s why I’m awake on here posting at stupid o clock! I am also developing the skin tags and a goaty like a 90s boy band that I have to keep plucking after a couple of days. This thread gave me a laugh though! X

Aaah ladies I am sorry you are all suffering but also comforted that I am not alone. Whilst truly grateful to be preggo again I am really finding it hard to be happy, glowing pregnant. I am basically raging 90% of the time. I’ve weed 6 times since I got up already and swear this baby is punching me in the fanny regularly just because it can! I’ve also been put on iron tablets so not looking forward to the black poo and constipation that the very handsome young doctor went into great detail about!

I'm 36 and last week I got admitted with severe nose bleed for 3 days!!! Ended up with this hideously painful nasal packing in and was miserable and dosed up on codine for days. Had to have antibiotics due to said nasal back which have now kicked off a lovely bout of thrush just what I needed when my fanny already looks like a hotdog bun!! Sciatica is kicking my ass literally and I'm just ready to meet my little one now! Mostly because carrying her around 24/7 is bloody hard work!!

26+4 and feeling gross. Had all the normal sickness, fatigue, nausea which I could just about cope with. Now got a sudden eruption of stretch marks, pain trying to erm DTD - which my libido says yes (and gets the OH's hopes up! - but body says nope not happening!) and to top it off - thought I had a massive knicker wedgie - nope - piles. Where is this 'I felt great and glowed'!!!? Someone lied to me I'm sure 🤣

I also add my OH is a landscape gardener and I asked him to help out with sone personal 'topiary' I can't reach. Well that went well....but I'm hormonal and irrational so tufts are ok normally....

23 weeks, feel like a weeble. Everything is too much effort, trying to turn over in bed feels like an Olympic event. The constipation is a real treat, I can measure whether a day has been good or not by how much of an ordeal trying to go to the toilet was. Can’t ever seem to be comfortable sitting down for too long also getting to a point where if I try and wear a normal t shirt the bottom of my belly appears like an old fat man. Looking forward to giving birth because someone might make me a tea for a change 😂🙈

Oh I literally just started a thread on here about how crap I'm feeling at nearly 23 wks and I could have written this post!!

Ahhh and I've finally found my people! Sorry you are all feeling crap but I'm so glad it's not just me!! Who the hell mentioned pregnancy and glowing???!

34+3 and I've basically been constipated since finding out I was pregnant back in January!!! Finally had enough last week and after crying on the loo gave in and took the fecal impaction dose of laxido as 2/3 sachets a day was doing feck all!! Best decision I ever made, ended up with 4 days of basically liquid #2s but that was so much better than the constipation!!

Currently stink of tiger balm as my hips and back are complete agony and despite it being gross is the only thing that helps. Constantly knackered. Uncomfy all the time. Can't put my socks on. Can't eat. Can barely breath. The heartburn is driving me insane. I've also turned into pregosaurus 🦖 I'm such a grumpy cow with no patience!!

The only reprieve I have is that I only have to survive this until the 31st and then we get to meet little miss 🙌🏻 stay strong ladies 💗

@Gem176 I'm still waiting for that pregnancy glow 😆 wasn't it supposed to hit 2nd trimester? I look haggered and feel as equally haggered.
Also majorly pissed off as I got a call from the hospital yesterday regarding my bloods (bloods that were done weeks ago) and my iron levels are very low so they've now got me on 3 iron tablets a day, so no wonder I've been feeling shocking.

Dont even talk about the constipation omg, I feel you. I also have a mild rectocele too after the birth of my DD which makes bowel movements even more difficult and I feel like I literally have to turn myself inside out to go 😭 maybe I'll look into this Laxido 😆

So jealous that you haven't got much longer to wait! I'm booked in for a section 4th October and I honestly don't know if I can get through this next month let alone the whole of September 😭

Is anyone else getting skin tags suddenly? Wtf is that about?! I've got a little one on my bikini line and I've given up shaving anymore. Safe to say I'm having no more babies after this! 😳

32 weeks tomorrow and I’m now at the struggling to bend stage. Have to sit ramrod straight otherwise baby crowds ribs. The summer weather was lovely today but has left me with swollen ankles and I just feel like an absolute beast. Moving is a monumental effort. 8 more weeks, I’ll be bed bound by then!

Before I even opened the thread I thought “it has to be piles”

I removed from last time OP, I’m only 8weeks now and praying I don’t get them this time.. bet I bloody will though.

You and your piles are in my thoughts.

@MyGrassIsBrowner I'm still waiting for the glow from last time and she'll be 8 next month 🤣

I'm meant to be on two a day but I decided against them as the stories of the constipation that come with the iron tablets on top of the months i'd already had of it made me reach for steak and broccoli instead!!!! Bloods came back as borderline anaemic so 🤷🏻‍♀️

Laxido is vile, absolutely rank rotten but in fairness it works without being really rough on your stomach. No cramps, no desperately running for the loo just being able to go with zero effort! Absolute relief considering if I'd kept on trying I was going to give myself some seriously bad haemorrhoids and that would have tipped me over the edge! It's meant to be orange flavoured but it tastes salty, pretty sure you can buy it over the counter. I'm getting another pack for post section as they wouldn't let me leave until I'd gone last time and the lactulose took DAYS to work!

Section is booked for 31st but I've got at least one hospital appointment a week until then to keep me going, broken it down into weekly chunks so it doesn't feel so long. Growth scan on Tuesday, steroids the following Tuesday and pre-op on 30th then d-day on 31st!!! Hopefully October 4th flies around for you!!

No skin tags yet but I've pretty much given up wearing anything other than leggings, sports bras and loose tops. Apparently skin tags can be caused by friction?

Definitely no more babies unless they work out how to gestate them in men 😂😂😂 xx

I have found my people! Can I join in for a moan?! 33 weeks tomorrow
My hips gave way in Aldi last Tues as I walked round holing myself up with the trolly. Cried when two people asked if I was ok (because I was not ok...) - I can't do the food shopping now. DP is utter PISH at getting anything remotely close to what we need
I have a permanent scowl on my face. Brows down. One eyebrow up. I can't stop it. My hormones are giving me absolute rage. But so is the haemorrhoids, constipation and trapped farts. I've spent more time googling how to have a shit effectively whilst constipated than I have anything else relating to pregnancy (including nursery shopping!!)
I haven't seen my feet from a standing position in weeks
My hips are both dislocated and I can't get them back in (hypermobile) I've been referred for physio but a week seems too long
I haven't had sex since the 3rd (yes, I'm counting!!) and will be making an attempt to DTD this afternoon and push through he pain cos I just can't go on. Libido says yes but hips and pelvis say no

7 more weeks of this shit

@messybun101 I’m impressed you’re even considering DTD, that hasn’t been on the table for a LONG time here!

Such a funny thread @MrsCremuel are you due 10th October? If so I think we must have the same due dates.. I’m 32 weeks today too x

I've waddled round Asda this morning and now I feel split in quarters so DTD idea is away again
God almighty these babies are just taking over our lives before their even here

@Gem176 oh you poor love you sound in a right state. Fucking nightmare isn't it. I'm deffo gonna look into the Laxido though for sure. I've been put on Ferrous Sulphate now as my iron levels are apparently very low (probs explains why I feel so SHIT) and now my shit is black... 😆

Being pregnant is sooooo glamorous! Really not long for your section now though, power through best you can these next few weeks you'll soon have baba in your arms and all this will be a distant memory!

I'm worried at the mo as my bubs is in an 'oblique lie' nowhere near engaged so this will be interesting in the coming weeks!

Ive already said to my OH I'll happily go on the implant after this one then we're getting him booked in for a vasectomy. It's his turn now 😆

Xx

@Peachee

Such a funny thread *@MrsCremuel* are you due 10th October? If so I think we must have the same due dates.. I’m 32 weeks today too x

@MyGrassIsBrowner @Peachee hold the bus Are you both due 10th October? If so, I'm a week ahead of myself... I thought I was 33 weeks tomorrow. I'm due 11th October so I must be 32 weeks on Tuesday. I've been counting wrong for god knows how long, haha!

Add baby brain to the list of frustrating symptoms

@messybun101 LMFAO!!! Baby brain hun 😆 my due date is 8th October I'm 32+2 today!

Dont even, I went to put my DDs milk in the microwave to warm, put it in the fridge and proceeded to walk out the kitchen 😆 fml

Am 3 weeks postpartum so just wanted to say it gets better ladies!!!!

But I feel your pain! Pregnancy is not for the faint hearted! I hated it!! Done it twice and god knows why I want to do it again 😂
The piles, nausea, vomit and inability to get comfortable after around 16 weeks is ridiculous!

The constipation is horrendous! Especially since we are camping at the moment - a 10 minute walk to the toilet block, only to have an uncooperative bum hole when I get there! (Plus why do people always take the cubicle next to mine when there are loads free?!)

@Peachee yes 10 October! Woop. I was worried so was being a right wimp feeling so bad at 32 weeks. I was sprightly by comparison at 32 weeks last time.
