Hating being pregnant

Hello! Not sure what I want from this, maybe just a rant. For context I am 28 weeks pregnant.
I really don't want this to come across the wrong way as I am happy to be having my little girl and know how lucky I am but I am hating being pregnant so much and not sure how to cope much more.
I am so fed up of not being able to move properly, it's so frustrating. I can't sit down, stand up, roll over or walk for long without it feeling like an Olympic challenge. My nipples constantly leak, I feel fat, I have awful acid reflux, I feel sick, I have no patience, cry every day and my ribs/stomach/back always hurt. She's so low down and the kicks to what I assume is my cervix and bladder are awful. My skin is dry and itchy and I just can't bear it! I feel like I have completely lost who I am.
Sorry this is me complaining lots and a bit of a pity party but I am so done with it and there is a part of which worries that I might resent my baby for feeling like thisSad The thought of 12 weeks longer is a bad one! I almost feel guilty for not enjoying it as everyone says to cherish it but I really don't feel like I can anymore.

I could have written this myself, except throw the most awful migraines into the mix that I can't take anything except paracetamol for (which has got to be the least effective painkiller for a migraine!). Plus, I am a teacher. REALLY struggling so much with having to get up and teach 150 teenagers every day, not to mention the Covid risks and the fact that it is literally impossible to even take a pee break in teaching, let alone actually rest. It's awful. It's just so awful.
