I've really had enough now, already. 🙈

I just came here to post something similar, my pregnancy has been awful start to finish, I'm due to be induced next week which I'm not going for and booking a section instead if he doesn't come before. I was having contractions all last night, now nothing but baby attacking my cervix with his head and sticking his feet in my ribs, got a pad on because my underwear was wet earlier but doesn't seem to be waters. All I do at the minute is sit around the house, I have no friends or family in the area, I'm separating from baby's dad but stuck living with him. I feel like I'm rotting away waiting for my baby and life to start moving forwards again. This is my third pregnancy and the first two were nothing like this, really struggling in every imaginable way and my poor kids just want their mum back.
We are extremely grateful for this pregnancy after many reoccurring loses but it's been shit. I've had one thing after another, spent most of it in bed unable to live my life normally. Things eased up for a few weeks around 32 then it got extra shit. Tried my very very best to enjoy the pregnancy but I hated almost every moment of it. I've spent alot of time in tears the last week just because I'm not coping. Sunday is my due date so meeting baby could happen at literally any moment and I'm getting more impatient about it. I feel like I'm more irritated that baby is taking their time but I feel so guilty for wanting them out. I had a doctor force an induction on me which I also felt guilty about because baby just wasn't ready, managed to make a complaint and cancel the induction which was a weight of my shoulders knowing baby isn't going to be coming into the world distressed. So many feelings and feel guilty about them all.

Noooo. Absolutely you're not. I was done in at 36 weeks. My own baby is all I've ever wanted and my daughter who's now 3 weeks old is my absolute world. Pregnancy though is the biggest lie women tell other women. It is shit. Then there's labour/c section then the recovery. We go through SO MUCH. Don't be made to feel bad for admitting that it's hard because it is and there needs to be more honesty about it rather than all rainbows and glitter.
❤️ Thankyou ladies for making me feel better. I am counting down the days till baby is born... hopefully I will feel better once he's here. 🩵
@Bethan Influencers posting reels of their aesthetic labours can absolutely fuck off 😂 any woman who asks me about pregnancy and childbirth gets the brutal truth, even midwives can suck with telling the full picture!
@Amber legit. "Oh isn't it beautiful". Yes. Me half naked curled around the toilet bowl for 3 months is a beautiful thing.
I've had a few of these days where I'm just fed up and want to cry! Didn't help that I went in for my sweep this week and baby is basically moving backwards so I was less engaged than I'd been for weeks and she couldn't do it! Between the PGP stopping me from doing any activity and now what i suspect is pregnancy carpal tunnel making my hands feel useless i just feel like i can't do anything and I've had enough now! I keep trying to tell myself that the people who love pregnancy are having very different experiences and it doesn't make me a bad mum that I have not enjoyed it. I can't wait for it to be over at this point!
