Struggling!

Only 32w+3days and boy I am not physically coping this time round. My whole body aches, hips are another level of pain especially during the night. I keep getting very strong braxton hicks to the point i have to stop and focus on my breathing while it passes (but there not at regular intervals). I have a nearly 2yr old who is full on all the time and currently full of cold so very grouchy. All I want to do is hide in my bed in a quiet room and wishing baby comes sooner full term rather than 40 weeks 🫣 not sure how I’m going to get through the next few weeks 😬😢

Me to I'm almost 31 weeks. 2 yr old, 11 yr old aswell. Work is such a slog, could cry everytime i move, walk, get off sofa or out of bed. Never struggled this much in previous pregnancies! I keep trying to think positive and embrace these last few weeks! But its hard 🤣🤣

i feel this! i’m 30w+4days, i’ve got pelvic girdle pain, gestational diabetes, incredibly painful lower back pain, the baby keeps getting stuck in my ribs, i also have a 3 year old who is full on and has so much energy and hyperactive, but also has been waking up several times at night, been crying and having tantrums the last few weeks randomly (wonder if it’s bcos of me being pregnant / new baby approaching), due to my gestational diabetes i am no longer allowed the birth i wanted and hoped for, i am too high risk and more likely for complications, i feel like my control has been taken away due to this, my grandad/best friend passed away beginning of january and ever since then it’s just been downhill with diagnosis after diagnosis, stress after stress. im physically and mentally done with this already and i just need him OUT 😭

Ahh I think all aprils mommas are feeling this now. I’m the same and all these symptoms, I didn’t feel with my first. It’s like all new to me and definitely want this baby out now. Not sure I can wait till 40weeks. I’m 34weeks (just turned yesterday) just annoying and a lot. Even with a toddler. 🙄😕 but yeah, not long now, just gonna hang in there. And sorry to hear @Sinead you’re going through all that, hope things get better over time. 🙂💕

Also in the same boat - very achy in pelvis / hip area which is making it hard to do much and ‘resting’ as advised is getting me seriously down! 3 year old little girl in tow and I think if this mama hears “where are we going today / what are we doing” one more time I might scream, cry or both🥲. Never been one to complain in my previous pregnancy and equally have had a pretty good ride up until now but god this final stretch is beyond painful🫠. Here’s hoping the weeks fly by🤞🏼 Hope you manage to get some rest / the next weeks go quickly for you all too!

I’m currently 34+5 and I’m so done - I have a full on 2 year old still working full time. Today I really hit rock bottom I’m so done I want her out. I never felt like this with my first as I could rest when needed
