Just that really!

35 plus 5 today. Insanely uncomfortable despite a fairly small bump, digestive system has given up altogether, still nauseous and occasionally vomiting, pelvic pain, not sleeping and the thought of trying to eat six dates a day and drink raspberry leaf tea makes me want to heave. Chasing around after a VERY lively 2.5 year old boy making it all the more fun - he's such a good wee soul bless him but he's like a sheepdog - needs worked in the outside for hours before he calms down!

I was very fit in my first pregnancy - worked out the whole way through and ate very well. This one I have just survived and am getting very apprehensive about birthing in this state...

Anyone else utterly miserable (at any stage!) and just wants a good rant fire away!

I’ll join, I’m only 30+4 but just found out I’ve got kidney stones after recurring uti symptoms but no uti. Making me so uncomfortable and miserable! They can’t do anything about it in pregnancy apart from pain killers, been given codeine which makes me sick and constipated. Also got gestational diabetes so really restricted on what I can eat

roll on the end of Dec!!

35+4 here and feel like hell. Been ill for over a week with the illness my 4 year old coughed all over me last week :( couldn't sleep for the sore throat and now can't sleep for the pelvic pain! It's now half term and I am struggling already, I'm running on empty and not recovered from being ill yet. I need some energy for baby prep and actually birthing them!
