30 weeks and fed up

[LookingAtMyBhunas]

Allow me to vent, dear reader, the things that are currently ailing me.
Any cures/relievers most appreciated:

• Sciatica - was actually admitted to hospital last night as thought it was cramps related. Baby absolutely thriving not a care in the world. Meanwhile I'm bent double with it at times and it takes my breath away. Spreads from bottom of my back and shoots to the front in crease of where my thigh meets my groin.

• PGP

• Hyperemesis rearing it's head again (was admitted to hospital 3 times in first trimester for fluids, have had to once in third trimester). Was so violent earlier my DP heard it from putting the bins out and said it sounded like a horror movie. 😫

Keeping most fluids down but constant nausea if not actual vomiting.

• Horrific insomnia. Last night I got one hour. ONE. Think I've tried everything. DP currently fast asleep next to me, it's like he's sleeping AT me and must be some sort of criminal offence.

• The restless leg. Oh god the restless leg. Been weeks now. I did find a trick on tiktok about tying a sports sock around the bottom of your foot but this seems to have stopped working now.

• Popping gaviscon like they're pom bears.

-Haven't had a satisfactory shit for around 4 months. Necking lactulose and trying to drink more fluids but see above re:sickness. Sometimes, after much effort I manage to squeeze out the firmest of tiny black meteors that represents a nesquick ball.

• See also: Piles.

Now, of course being serious I'm delighted to be pregnant, having had both a miscarriage and ectopic, but good god I can't see any light at the end of the tunnel now and the thought of dealing with all this for another 2 months is getting me a bit overwhelmed.

Send help.

And to top it off, everyone is no doubt telling you how magical and special this time is…!

Currently 33 weeks and had HG the whole way through a previous pregnancy, it’s absolutely horrific so I fully sympathise!!

also have pgp this pregnancy for the first time and struggling as it makes me feel so lazy!

also it’s so bloody hot, so I’m really struggling with the heat too!

Ohhh yes good one. 'it'll all be worth it when she's here!!'

Well she bloody better be if she knows what's good for her.

@aRightNowProblem Ugh, sympathies from me also. How's it been this time around?

Currently in my second pregnancy at 33 weeks....I feel your pain!

PGP - Sitting on a pregnancy ball seems to help a bit. Also sitting cross legged on the floor stretching things out by rolling on your bum in a circle motion with your elbows on your knees....Best way I can describe it 😂.

Restless legs - Absolutely hate this. Only thing ive found that helps is putting my feet on a cooling mat out the freezer.

Heartburn - 10mg Omeprazole prescription from the doctor. Live saver.

Nausea - Peppermint vitamin B nausea sweets. I can't remember the name off the top of my head but should come up on Amazon. A small something of sugar seemed to help but I never had HG.

Constipation - First pregnancy thanks to iron tablets I got to the stage of trying a Glycerin Suppository which did help.

Hope something helps!

Thank you so much x
