Just as the title says really. I have the worst pain in my ribs and upper abdomen that I can’t seem to get rid of no matter that position, feel like I’m suffocating from the inside, cannot breathe at all & feel the size of a house.
also looking after a 2 year old that’s been throwing tantrums today 😭 had to lock myself in the toilet and cry.

Someone please tell me having a newborn and a toddler is easier than this hell? I hate how my first pregnancy was a breeze & tricked me into thinking it was fine to do again.

34 weeks here and I definitely sympathize with the breathing and weight gain!

I'm only 27 weeks and finding it sooo hard.

In so much pain with my insides being squished, gestational diabetes so I'm frikkin starving and can barely eat anything and the metformin I'm on for it is giving my major stomach cramps.

Feeling so sorry for myself and husband is like...oh its only a few more months...like WTF ARE YOU ON?!

34 weeks and I can relate so much to your post. Having a toddler whilst heavily pregnant in this HEAT is not for the faint hearted I completely empathise, I’ve had bad days where I think what have I actually got myself into because like you my first pregnancy was such a breeze I thought it would be the same again but this pregnancy has been so difficult especially with looking after a toddler thrown into the mix. I just wanted to say I’m sure you’re doing great and to remember that life has ups and downs, twists and turns, good and bad, that good day where it all makes sense is near hang in there girlie ❤️

@Glamgenzmami it’s so hard isn’t it 😭 I know so many people do it, so probs just feeling very sorry for myself haha. I know it’s just a fleeting few weeks & we won’t even remember being pregnant, but it drags when you’re in it doesn’t it? Thankfully it’s starting getting cooler now so hopefully it should help things for a bit! Thanks so much for your message, I needed that 💜

@New2020oh god, they just don’t get it do they? They do their business and get on with their normal lives for 9 months. We’ve got this!! Just gotta take it day by day xx
