Worried about the future

I’m about 9 weeks from my due date. Me and my partner are driving back from our babymoon a day early because I haven’t slept in 3 days (the whole time) I’m so exhausted and I can’t stop crying, not to mentioned I’m in a lot of pain. I’m real worried how I’m going to cope with a newborn if I can’t even cope with 3 nights of minimal sleep.

Honestly even with the lack of sleep with a new born, I slept better than I have in the last trimester!! It’s broken sleep with a baby cause they do sleep! Pregnancy is the hardest part in my opinion, and I had PND with my first. I’m on pure count down to have a new born and atleast feel more comfortable in my body and sleep better without needing to wee every hour!

@Jess same! The hip pain and other pains are gone once pregnancy is over, and you can actually enjoy sleep with the baby, I also can't wait! Xx

Your be fine hun I've hardly slept in over 2 years with my son. I'm 32 weeks pregnant. Pregnancy tired is harder then newborn tired x

Sleeping while pregnant in the last trimester is a lot harder. Xx

You just cope. No idea how but you just do 😮‍💨😂

I personally found it much harder when the baby was born as mine as I barely got any sleep, I’m also worried because I now have an autistic 3 year old at the same time! Having said that my pregnancy first time round was so much better then this one and I am very much looking forward to my body not being in so much pain. Every baby is different too. You’ve got this, I know it’s hard now but you will make it through, us mummas are tough 💪 See if you can get a pregnancy massage to elevate a bit of the aches and pains and just relax as much as possible x

I’ve got a 15 month old and honestly… I felt more refreshed and awake when she was a newborn than I did when she got older. It’s weird how it works but it’s like the intermittent sleeping is better 😂 it is one of those things you do dread but you’ll be surprised how we manage it 🩷
