I’m a week behind you with a 1 year old. I feel all this! I loved my first pregnancy, this one’s killed me off 😂😂 Oh in terms of coping… I’m not, unless laying in the bath. Feel you mama!
I literally feel exactly the same and am suffering from the same! I'm due my 2nd on 24th and also have a 3 year old. Speak to the pharmacist, they gave me some lactulose to help with the constipation
Rest when you can, sit on a ball? Do cat curl yoga pose? Plenty water and fruit
I’m also due on the 25th but with a boy :) z I am on iron tablets if you speak to your doctor they can prescribe you medicine to go toilet which will help. As soon as the iron tablets start kicking in you might feel better , I felt exhausted for weeks but since I have been on iron tablets I have started feeling better :)
Try Spatone liquid iron water. They are known to be less aggravating on the gut and may help with your constipation. They offered me the tablets but I declined
I’m in the same boat but 34 weeks pregnant with a nearly 3 year old. The iron tablets deffo do help (altho I only take one every other day) along with drinking enough water & getting enough quality rest / sleep is my advise. You’ve got this momma 💪
I think much all April baby’s are feeling it. Your ain’t the only 1. Like you said, once your baby comes, all of these feelings will go and be comfortable again. And with the iron tablets, they most likely make you constipated. Better to try a different type of iron. And get some laxatives should help. 🙂
Feeling the exact same! ❤️ 31 weeks with a three year old, on the iron tablets and achey hips. Feel you!
Ahh we’re due on the same day! I don’t know how you’re doing it with a 3 year old but I’m sure you’re doing amazing. Sounds like you need a break/ a rest/ look after you time. Appreciate this may be difficult with a little one but I went for a pregnancy massage and found it helped my back/ aches and pains. A bath with magnesium bath salts also have helped a lot too
I'm also feeling uncomfortable nearly 31 weeks... belly goes through phases of being hard... back is aching. Also anaemic. I'm having the tablets every other day to try and help with the constipation. Least that way I'm still getting some iron!
