28 weeks & hit a brick wall

[flamebobo]

I’m 28 weeks pregnant with my 3rd baby and I’m really struggling. All of my pregnancies have been complicated and high risk - my first was stillborn at 36 weeks, my second was delivered at 34 weeks due to slowed growth and this one there has been multiple things happen (but baby is all well thank god). I’ve had 2 csections so far and scheduled in for my 3rd at 36 weeks so only 8 more weeks to go! However I’ve hit a brick wall physically and mentally. My body is just so tired, I’m suffering with pgp and rib pain so bad to the stage I can’t sleep at night as it’s agonising to move never mind turn over and I’ve had to buy a pregnancy belt.

I feel so bad keep moaning to my family about how much pain I’m in but I’m honestly struggling so much. It doesn’t help that this pregnancy I have a 21 month old to chase about🙈 I’m so blessed to have my little girl and be growing another beautiful baby but I’m struggling. The further I get along my anxiety heightens as there’s always the fear of losing another baby and my body just gets more sore and tired.

anyone else been in this position? If so how did you deal with the mental and physical struggles of pregnancy?

It's good you can see light at the end of the tunnel.

Are you letting friends and family know what they can do to ease your life or are you just 'moaning' as you put it? What could they do for you?

It's often easier to ask them to do a specific thing with the little one than asking them to take her off your hands eg would you mind coming over to bake a cake with dd, or take her to swimming session or park.

Can you shop online? Buy good quality ready meals or easy assembly foods rather than cooking? Get a cleaner or lower standards to just hygienic kitchen and bathroom and tell dh it's his job?

What do you plan to do once baby arrives? I'd be thinking about that, the fun bits and the practical plans.

I hope you get some rest.
