Is it just me or

Is this last bit of pregnancy a living nightmare for anyone else? My anxiety is so high, random panic attacks, heart palpitations, can’t sleep, start to fall asleep and jump in a panic, feel sick, restless legs driving me insane, can’t relax without waves of anxiety hitting me, acid reflux so severe I have to sleep upright and my sinuses and throat are constantly full of mucus. I’m 35 weeks so I could have another 5-7 weeks of this and I just don’t know how to cope. I also have a two year old to look after and feel like my husband is growing tired of me acting like this but I don’t know how to stop my body acting like this anymore I can’t even wear headphones, put my head under the shower or sit in a room with closed windows and doors because I’ve developed claustrophobia out of nowhere. I’m on 40mg omeprazole and promezethaine to help me sleep with I’m too anxious. I’ve asked for anti anxiety medication but the doctor doesn’t seem to want to give it to me with me only having 5 weeks left. Is anyone else feeling remotely like this is or is just me?

Exactly the same here at almost 38 weeks 😭😭

I don’t have high anxiety so can’t help with that part but I’m also 35 weeks, have a 2 year old who is full force tantruming, not able to sleep and have bad reflux on 40mg of Omeprazole! We got this 💪🏻

you’ve just described me to a T, i’m 34 weeks nearly 35, and i cry nearly every day saying to my partner i don’t want to be pregnant anymore. i also have a 3 and a half year old, who pushes me to my limits and causes half my breakdowns because he’s begging for his mum to play with him but i just can’t do it as everywhere hurts, i feel guilty but it’s awful 😭 the sooner this babe comes, the better x

You’re not alone 🫶🏼 x
