I feel this so much. This isn't my first pregnancy but the first I've gotten this far, also have GD and I'm 36 weeks tomorrow and I am so sick of feeling tired, feeling emotional, all the appointments, the testing every time I eat, not sleeping because I'm so overwhelmed. I can't wait till he's here mostly because I want to see and hold him but it also marks the end of all of this nonsense
Ugh yes I feel you! 36+4 and we just sold our house 😱 we have till February but I need to find a place before baby comes as I am sure I wont be able to go out looking after that. Also have a toddler boy with tons of energy lol also I am our real estate agent so I am like ahhh 😂🤦♀️ had vivid dreams all night about the baby and the house and everything in between! Woke up and barfed lmfao the joys of pregnancy 😂🥰
@Mia yes, I feel I'm here - I officially am on mat leave as of next week, but I had 4wks of annual leave so haven't worked since mid October & boy am I glad, not sure I'd have managed still working. I'm definitely getting to the realisation I need to take a step back & really slow down, it's hard with another child who doesn't fully understand & then you feel guilty as they're missing out on their usual. Bloody hormones! Wishing you all the best & that these next few weeks are quick for us 🤞🏼 x
@Holley it is so hard isn't it - I thought I was handling it well considering it being such a big change, but due to my morning reading I'm now on insulin & it's just messed with my head a bit. Fingers xd the next few weeks is quick for us all 🤞🏼, wishing you all the best x
@Sarah oh my, you definately have a fair bit on your plate. I hope you manage to get something secured prior to baby arriving 🤞🏼. It's such a wild ride, hopefully the next few weeks go quick for us all, wishing you all the best x
You’re absolutely not alone. Being pregnant while taking care of a toddler is no mean feat! I’m 33 weeks pregnant with an energetic 21 month toddler at home! She’s getting heavy, I’m getting heavy and everything hurts. She doesn’t sleep well which means I’m not sleeping well and with all the energy being sucked out from me enough as it is, I don’t know how I’m surviving. Still have 4 weeks left at work too. I’m feeling really grinchy too and don’t see myself having energy to decorate for Christmas or do any Christmassy activities. I’ve got too much to think about and sort already!
Oh my god yes, I’m 35+3 today and burst out crying at my midwife appointment when she asked how I was feeling 😂 I’m just so tired and hormonal! It’s awful cause usually once I start crying, I’m on and off like a tap for the rest of the day 😫
Pregnancy is so hard, especially toward the end where you have all the aches, pains & tiredness. Pregnancy with a toddler / another child is next level hard!! I feel you!! My LG is 2 in January and the last couple weeks, I’m 36+3 now, I find myself really struggling doing things with her and I don’t have GD to contend with. I finished for mat leave at 34 weeks and I’ve resigned myself this week to the fact that we have to slow down and rest, it’s no good for my LG if I am absolutely beat up. Hang in there xx
