Anyone else just a complete wreck? 32 weeks and I'm so done.

I'm having a really awful day today. Literally anything is setting me off. I've cried multiple times and just feel fat and lazy and useless. I'm just sitting here crying because I cant fucking DO anything else.

This pregnancy has been awful. I am in so much physical pain with rib flare (I've never felt anything like it - it's constant), back pain is kicking in full force and spd type pains, even strong painkillers aren't cutting it. DS kicks so hard I feel physically bruised. I have to go pee every half an hour even if I don't drink anything, which is impossible because I feel disproportionately dehydrated. I am getting 3 hours sleep a night if I am lucky because of pain and restless legs (I've taken every recommended supplement, tonic, tried cold/heat/compression socks) and when I do get to sleep I wake up to pee - seriously considering a catheter so I don't get disturbed but even then everything else wakes me up anyway.

I can't do anything. I can't sit up even just to fold laundry, I feel like I am suffocating if I lay down in any position. Can't stand and cook myself anything, can't go out (went out a couple of days in a row and it's completely destroyed me physically). I can barely look after my kids and my poor DH (who is amazing and patient and not complaining about it) is having to do everything. I'm sick of having to ask him to get me things even though he has told me to ask for help.

I don't know how much longer I can do this. I can't cope with this for another 6 weeks minimum.

Hi OP, just bumping this one for you in the hope that someone will be able to help.

Hi OP...didn't want to read and run.

Im not currently pregnant but with my youngest I had SPD and just a generally shitty pregnancy. I had fallen pregnant when my DD was 8 weeks old so I had her and older DD to care for. Dh worked away, we had a dog, I was at uni and trying to work part time. I totally get where you're coming from.

I was in so much pain from around 18 weeks, midwife agreed to induce at 38 weeks as I just couldn't take it.

Have you spoken to your midwife at all?

Just wanted to say i have mamy a day like this!

Have not slept properly since 9 weeks pregnant. People don't really believe me when i say this, but it's 100% true sadly.

I'm inconstant pain, i can NEVER get comfortable. I can't sit without pain. I am pretty much housebound and have been for about 4 months now. I have at least 10 more weeks to go.

Only help is osteopath but it's temporary. However it's better than nothing.

We will get through this.

I'm 33 weeks and feeling many of things you are... Bad sleep, peeing all the time, dehydration, super strong kicks, discomfort with every day tasks like putting on pants/socks/shoes, laundry, getting up from bed or couch, getting in and out of the car, etc. Breathing is hard at times. I feel so out of shape even from the smallest walk....
This is my first baby so I have nothing to compare it to but I'm definitely struggling some days more than others.
I had a couple days where I just cry...over everything...no reason, just flood of tears coming down.
All I tell myself is to hang in there and that it's a few more weeks till baby boy is here. For now he needs to stay in there and continue cooking.
I hope you feel some sort of relief soon. I know it's tough but we are almost there...

As Micheal Jackson once said... you are not alone. I here with you....

I'm 29 weeks and a shell of the woman I once was. I cried when I realised I was still only at the start of the third trimester earlier in the week.

I have had relentless sciatic pain, lower back pain, insomnia, and most recently gestestional fucking Diabetes.

When not in pain or lying silently waiting for sleep to come i can most often be found sobbing excessively at something my DH has or hasn't done or has or hasn't said.

His awful narc mother is now descending from the 23rd - 28th (invited 24th - 27th) if the week goes without major incident I will be shocked.

Hi all,
I’m currently pregnant with my third child. In my first two pregnancy i had nausea and vomiting for whole 9 months plus until baby was delivered. In my second pregnancy i had this issue until 4/5 months pregnant. But this time i’m currently 8 weeks pregnant but i’m not feeling any morning sickness at all. Is it normal? ( i have my gallbladder removed in may does it make any different?
