Hello everybody!

This is my 6th baby so I’m all too familiar with the challenges of pregnancy. I’m almost 19 weeks pregnant but I’ve never felt like this in any of my pregnancies, I’m absolutely exhausted. I’m waking up to pee 3 times a night, I’m still sick and nauseous and I’m exhausted! I have a visible bump, and I’m already struggling to get comfortable sitting or getting to sleep!

Has any other ladies found with the more babies you have the ‘worse’ it gets? 😂

Its dawned on me that I’m going to be heavily pregnant in the summer and the thought of feeling like this in the hot summer months is really getting me down!

I'm 18+2 and this is my 4th.
I am absolutely huge especially in dresses, people at the school gate are asking me how long I've got to go and shocked I'm not even half way.

It's also the first time I've had any pregnancy nausea, I'm iron deficient and extremely tired all the time, have you had your iron checked?
We live in a very hilly area and I'm struggling to walk up hill.

@flipflopsalready thank you for replying! I’m also huge and I don’t know where the bump came from! I have rib pain too which I'm putting down to how big my boobs have gotten.

i’m going to ask my consultant to check my iron at our 20 week scan, I’m extremely high risk during this pregnancy so consultant led but it’s so strange that you don’t see your midwife until 28 weeks! This is definitely my last baby 😂 I’m exhausted.
