Third and final pregnancy

[SSimp24]

As above. I feel like I should be making the most of this & enjoying it. Yet I feel like im constantly complaining or feeling like I hate the pregnancy this time round 😢 im 30 weeks on Friday.

I've not had a fun time of it from sickness, pelvic pain, back pain, migraines, discomfort from a previous c section scar, horrendous heartburn restless legs & now piles. It seems never ending. Like when I try to enjoy it, another symptom comes along and makes it harder for me.

I don't know what im hoping to get from this post but I needed to vent somewhere. Im just feeling crappy 🤷🏻‍♀️

Not got anything to add but I’m with you! Third and probably final pregnancy and I can’t help but just be looking forward to when it’s over! 🙈

Not at all ungrateful for the baby growing inside but fed up of being tired, sore and emotional! I also have had gestational Diabetes in my previous pregnancies so I probably have that joy to look forward too. 😬

Don’t feel bad about not enjoying it. Lots of women don’t enjoy being pregnant.

I know what you mean though about realising it’s your last one. It does give you an awareness about how once this important life event is over you won’t go through it again.

Just try to focus on the things you'll miss most.
For example, I've had my two boys and HIGHLY unlikely to have anymore (didn't really think about it tbh, first was only 6 months when I fell pregnant again) but looking back, the only thing I'll miss, is the kicks and movements. (Obviously not the ones that kick you in the arse from the inside 🤣) but the feeling, its like you and your babies little secret 😊 xx

They say pregnancy gets more uncomfortable, and you get more niggles and pains the more pregnancies you have. I’m also on 3rd and final and expecting it to be fairly rough. I don’t really have that feeling of “final baby, make the most of it” either. Although I kind of wanted that feeling of finality so I won’t be tempted to have a 4th!

You’re 30 weeks now so not too long to go (although I know it might not feel like that). Just picture holding your baby for the first time. I know it will be emotional knowing this is my last newborn. I don’t look back at being pregnant that fondly with my other 2 but I loved those early days

Thankyou for all your responses & sorry I'm so late getting back to you, it's been a crazy few days! I don't seem to have stopped. Had 2 good days where I wasn't completely wiped out and super sore so that's a bonus I suppose! I'm so over it. I've got all the baby clothes washed and sorted all the bits for my hospital bag (just need to pack it now).

Just holding out for 6th June to see how my 32 week scan goes and whether I'll have to have a c section again or not x

I've got a low lying placenta which was completely covering my cervix at my 20 week scan. I didn't mention in my original post x
