33 weeks pregnant and hanging on by a thread!

So I’m 33 weeks pregnant in a couple of days and I’ve hit a wall. My hips hurt, my back hurts, my pelvic bone hurts. I can’t eat a meal without feeling full and uncomfortable, struggling to bend down, struggling to sleep. Please tell me I’m not the only one?!
I have also noticed over the past couple of days that I’m struggling to walk more because I feel more comfortable and heavy. Could baby be working her way into the pelvis at this point?

sorry to sound like I’m moaning. I’m trying to embrace these last few weeks as much as I can but it’s hard bloody work!

I honestly forgot how much I hate the third trimester from when I had DD1. The first trimester is brutal but, my God, the third trimester is another level of hell! I know exactly where you are coming from, you're definitely not alone.

I'm 37 weeks and absolutely fed up. For weeks now I've had tightenings, cramps, back ache, lightning crotch, insomnia etc and the acid reflux is now completely unbearable. I've had to get medication for it and also had to have an iron infusion, I'm back to throwing up daily, got no appetite, no energy....

Baby is also very low in my pelvis so lots of pressure on my bladder and bowel, struggling to walk and in a lot of pain. I am constantly expecting my waters to suddenly burst as everything just feels so 'heavy' down there.

Also feeling very guilty about my 4.5 year old and not being able to do as much with her as I'd like before baby arrives.

I can't wait to meet DD2 but I'm so over being pregnant!

It’s hard going isn’t it! I feel so tired with it all. I keep trying to think I’m almost there but when you feel like this it feels like forever away.
I am trying best I can to stay active and keep busy so I’m not just sat around being fed up.
we can do this, not long 💕
