29 weeks feeling awful. Any positivity / advice

[CandidFox]

Hey ladies, please tell me I’m not being over dramatic and this is just the third trimester kicking in!
Today has been awful, I literally feel like iv been hit by a bus, can’t keep my eyes open, the most overwhelming tiredness iv had in my life has hit me, I’m seriously out of breath and feel so much pressure down below. I’m not sore, just uncomfortable, and (tmi) but I feel like there’s something sitting in my vagina. Iv had a good few bowel movements. And overall, I just feel off, weird and emotional. Never felt like this during pregnancy
Any advice welcome :(

id give midwife a call for some advise if your feeling this bad xx hope you are okay dx

I’m 26 weeks today and feeling the exact same! Can’t remember feeling this way the first time until around 33 weeks pregnant. Hope you’re doing ok and managing some rest. 💐

I’d get checked out, exhaustion is expected and the rest could just be hormones but the bowel movements, pressure and feeling off at just 29 weeks could indicate something.

@Overthebow thenks for your advice. I feel like iv soared through pregnancy until today. Used to feeling tired but not to this extent. And generally feel like iv been thumped today, out of breathe, sluggish, tired and totally worn down with so much pressure. Just feels awful…

Thank you @daisydotss it’s not great is it. Probably less rest with your second as well. Sending love. Xx

Just to add I was at the midwife yesterday (I felt pretty normal yesterday) so didn’t mention any of these symptoms of course as I never had them. But she did say baby is very low. She didn’t seem concerned at all as this is pretty normal (iv definitely dropped in the last couple of weeks) so don’t think that’s helping with the pressure

Have you been walking too much? Do you have a maternity belt? That may help with the down below pressure.

have a nice soak, a cuppa and a early night too x

Edited to add baby could be ready in position, my baby was from about the 30 week growth scan but he held on until 39+6 cos for a few more weeks they can still come and go out of head down. So that is most likely the pressure cause x

I feel like I could’ve written this post!
Im 30 weeks and feel horrendous. I’m exhausted, and am getting so breathless even when walking for such short distances. I’m so uncomfortable and fidgety all the time. I really feel like I’ve slowed down and don’t know how I’ll do ten more weeks feeling like this!

I also felt the same! And then it ended up being a virus I was ill for about 2 weeks. I feel much better now (35 weeks) so don’t worry it doesn’t last until the end your probably getting a cold :)

It will get worse before it gets better I'm afraid however you will have a beautiful little baby in your arms soon and everything you have been through just gets forgotten. Keep going as best you can and there is no harm at all in resting. Baby will get bigger quickly and start to go more lower down. Be brave and not long to go x

have you had your 28 wk bloods? You may be low in iron which will make you feel very rotten. Call your midwife and they can prescribe high dosage iron for you

Hi ladies just an update, had a stay in hospital, was/is a clot on the lung. On the mend now 🤞🏽

Oh my goodness! Hope you feel better soon ! What are they doing for you ? Xx

@littleweedandherflowers im on blood thinners at the moment and back for regular check ups. Xx

Glad to hear your in hospital and being treated. Fingers crossed the rest of your pregnancy goes well.
