Sick of being pregnant

I know this thought/feeling has been posted to death but just looking for a place to vent.
I'm pregnant with Dd no.2. Her older sibling is 2.5.
Currently at 34 + 4 and I can honestly say that I'm at the stage where I'm hating pregnancy.
All day heartburn
Unable to sleep due to pain in pelvis and back (despite the millions of pillows, cushions surrounding me). Think I'm averaging about 2 hours sleep a night.
Tired due to lack of sleep and unable to rest during the day with a toddler.
Constantly breathless doing even minor things.

I'm finding myself to be a constant grump which isn't nice or fair to either my partner or DD. I have zero energy and just want to lie on the sofa all day. My poor daughter has got a right tired grouchy mummy at the moment. Did some baking together today. Maximum effort required and it was from a packet so not exactly difficult to do.

I'm due to be induced at 39 weeks possibly earlier/ c-section if dd 2 ends up being a huge baby like my first (11lb 1oz) so not long to go but am very much hating life right now.

Pregnancy is hard without a toddler in the mix.
Just remember you’re nearly at the finish line.

You have my sympathies. SPD so max 2 hours sleep at a time. I'm definitely ready to be done lol

You have my sympathies, and unfortunately no advice.
I've had 4, and remember the feeling well, no sleep, everything is so uncomfortable.
Toddlers are relentless too, it won't last forever, even though it currently feels like it.
And if anyone suggests, you'll get less sleep once baby arrives, as tempting as it is, please resist the urge to knock them out!
