I am 32 weeks pregnant. I have 2 other children, I'm finding the day to day unbearable.

im tired, I'm irritable, I'm finding no joy in anything everything is just a chore to me at the moment and I hate feeling this way, I'm so lazy I just want to sleep my days away.

im having an elective section on the 16th of September and I know it will come around but just getting there seems impossible.

I've even taken early maternity which started last week, so I'm not even at work anymore which you'd think would be a good thing but bleh I'm just done.

I feel so miserable.

I could have wrote this myself 🙌🤣
Nearly 31 weeks and so fed up!! I'm so done with pregnancy I hate it 🤦 I'm constantly tired and feel crappy and also have 2 at Home to look after 😑 just can't be bothered with anything! And then this heat 😓 also feel like I'm wishing time away! X

Yes ! I'm 32 weeks and have a 3 year old. She's being very good really but I am irritable and short tempered. My back and ribs are in bits and I still have 4 weeks left at work. Baby is measuring very small so hoping to be induced at 37weeks like I was with my daughter, can't wait for this to be over!

@20viona can I ask what your rib pain is like? Im getting quite severe pain under my right rib that sometimes radiates round into my back. Thinking I should get it checked as it's unbearable at times! But if it's baby then there's nothing I can do anyway 🤦 didn't have this much pain with my other pregnancies! X

Oh God I feel the same as you all! I’m 31 weeks and have a 22 month toddler who is quite high maintenance. I feel so sluggish and tbh really miserable. I feel awful because I should be happy and out in this glorious sun but since 6 weeks I’ve had hyperemesis and that’s put a right downer on my pregnancy (plus I bloody hate the summer ha ha)

I am counting down the weeks!! My maternity doesn’t start for another 3 weeks, I only work 1 day a week but it’s so hard as I’m a pharmacist so stood up for 9 hours a day is not helping my miserable mood! Wish I took it sooner like you!

How are you all getting through the days? I just nap when my DD naps and sleep as soon as she goes to sleep haha.

20viona · 29/07/2022 15:09

@Skl2021 it's like a constant burning feeling of pain under my boobs at the top of my ribs. My bump is very small and tight and I think that's the problem, it was exactly the same with my daughter but it's so much harder whilst dealing with a 3 year old at the same time!

Skl2021 · 29/07/2022 15:21

@ChloeHel I'm just about getting through the days 🤣🙊 wish I could nap as much as I wanted! I have 2 boys who want to be out and about doing things constantly 🤦

@20viona does yours get really painful? Like sometimes mine is so bad I could cry and I just can't settle. Feels like a stabbing pain just constant! Hoping it goes soon!

20viona · 29/07/2022 15:28

@Skl2021 oh it's complete agony the only way I feel better is to lie completely horizontal with my arms above my head, or to jab my fingers right into the top of my ribs! Luckily I'm a a nurse so have access to a bed to have a quick 5 min stretch. I work 4 days a week and it's killing me
though I can't wait to finish!

Nearly 34 weeks and could have written this myself, got a 3 year old and 18 month old at home to deal with and its so tiring! I'm struggling more recently than I was in early days! I have maximum 3 and half weeks left, possibly less but I'm counting down the days!

Skl2021 · 29/07/2022 15:31

@20viona oh glad I'm not the only one then I was worrying something was up! I only get relief lying down too 🤦 but obviously I can't do that all day 🤣 I also end up stretching backwards and like walking with my back arched back 😑 joys of pregnancy 🙌🙄 x

LittlemissMama67 · 29/07/2022 17:21

Ahh it sucks that so many can relate to how I feel right now I don't wish it on any of you. We are all in the home stretch now though we've got this 🫶🏼

@Skl2021 I take my hat off to you! Id be telling them it’s film day everyday 😂 I couldn’t honestly couldn’t function without my afternoon snooze! Sometimes DD skips the naps and I’m crying so much on the inside.

Yes not long now! Just need to get through the last few weeks of summer haha.

I'm only 25 weeks but feel the same. Like my life is on hold until I give birth and can start doing things again.
I'm wishing time away but it seems to be going so slow. You're so close now!! I keep thinking I'll feel better at 30 weeks and can get organised and on count down
