I'm falling apart

[Whatelsecouldibecalled]

I know I need to be greatful for the wonders of pregnancy. And deep deep down I am. But right now I feel like I'm falling apart. I'm finding it much harder this time round. I have DS who is two. His pregnancy was a breeze.

This time I'm only 19 weeks. I have pgp my hips are killing. I have recently had covid and it made me so poorly. Bed bound for days in end. recovered from that. Then had flu bed bound again. Still feel shitty.

Exhausted. I'm so constipated my tummy hurts. My hair is falling out my skin is awful. Three teeth have cracked and now I have an infected toe.

Feeling very sorry for myself right now and just need to moan.

Convinced it's a girl!!

Oh and I have three mouth ulcers

You poor thing - don't blame it all on the pregnancy - covid can be awful and can drag on.

Things will improve!

Oh dear.I hope you are feeling better and get some TLC from your partner.I know how you feel.I have cracked two teeth.I’m currently in the third trimester and on a variety of medication for various reasons.I feel your pain.My house is a mess as I’m too tired to get everything done.I think we just need to be kind to ourselves and do the bare minimum whilst unwell.💐

Yes DH is very supportive and amazing. Doing the lion share where he can with DS. I just wish I didn't feel so crappy and broken all the time. It's not like me at all

@Whatelsecouldibecalled sorry you're having such a rough run of it. My last pregnancy was one thing after another, so understand how you must be feeling. When you're better can you so something nice for you, like book in somewhere for s pregnancy massage? I think you can use anbesol for ulcers in pregnancy, and for the constipation I absolutely swear by prune puree, I make a batch every few days and have it before bed and it really helps.

Really hope you're feeling a bit better soon.

I feel exactly like this. I'm now on my 4th course of antibiotics I'm 10 weeks, had covid in between and just feel absolutely drained. Not convinced I'm going to recover until baby is here. My resting heart rate is now in the 100s and always used to be in the 60s. I used to walk to work, go for runs and play netball weekly but now I can't even walk upstairs. It's just crap isn't it. I'm 32 weeks but felt like this since around 20 weeks. I'm so sorry you're feeling this way too but wanted you to know you're not alone. Sending love!

I begged the doctor for something to help me when I had covid then sinus infection then flu. But he said no. Paracetamol only and water. Which did nothing!

No doubt I won't be allowed anything for
My infected toe either!

I'm sorry you're having rough time too.

I feel so guilty as when I carried my son I loved being pregnant. I loved everything about it. This time it just feels very different.

Yea I was quite pushy. I could barely open my eyes with migraines from it though.
I feel the same. Its my 4th pregnancy and it's been by miles the most draining for me. They've all had their quirks but this one 😷.
I saw your comment about it probably being a girl this time I can guarantee it is for you! This is a girl I'm having 🤣

Same here. This is my second pregnancy, I had some issues with my first but this time I've spent the whole of 2022 being poorly.

I'm 19 weeks and have suffered from horrendous nausea which had me bed bound. I've now had covid and now dealing with a bladder infection. The nausea is back and I feel permanently dehydrated.

Not sure how I'm going to last until September!

The constipation is terrible.I am currently sitting on a sanitary towel covered in Anusol. I would hate to have be in labour with these huge piles. I hope they go away in the next month. People where looking at me today and feeling sorry for me. They were like “Aw are you ok?”. My favourite was “you look how I feel”.

Have you tried glycerine suppositories? Shove them up with some KY. Best ones are on the net - Fleet they are called. They are like a harder cone rather than flippy-floppy so easier to get in past the piles.

Once bowel is empty you cane gently push the piles back in with KY.

I have to do all this as I am on morphine for severe pain.

I am so sorry to here of all these troublesome pregnancies.
