so uncomfortable, stomach is heavy & upset, i can't sleep up 10x a night, trapped gas & bloating - ibs the worst it has been in years
nausea coming & going, feet hurt & struggle to walk - & i've only gained 15lb! on top of that super emotional, anxious & keep bursting into tears

is this normal? I don't work & keep thinking of people glowing & working , exercising, socialising etc right up to due date & wondering what is wrong with me..

I finished for maternity leave at 37 weeks, definitely couldn’t have carried on working any longer, I was exhausted.

So yes it does sound pretty normal I’m afraid. Don’t be hard on yourself, you’re growing a tiny human, it’s hard work!

Yep sounds normal to me. Everyone's bofy does pregnancy differently

As @GemmaRuby said, really normal. I also finished work at 37 weeks. I work 10 hour shifts in retail and I’m on my feet for 9.5 hours of that so I definitely couldn’t have continued any longer.
Had the upset stomach just started? For a lot of people that can be a sign that labour is close!

nope - on & off upset stomach since 30 weeks, tests come back with nothing! hope it goes away after!
