31 Weeks Uncomfortable
Has anyone else really struggled physically at 31 weeks? I am so uncomfortable and the current heatwave is not helping in the slightest. My cooch (yes, that is what I call my pubic area and vagina lol) is feeling a lot of pressure (the midwife has told me bubba is very low) and from what I understand his bum is right under my boobs and above my lungs... I am emotional, tired, can't walk very fast, getting out breathe and when I sleep (on my left or right side) I get a numb buttock - if I am laying on my left side, the left buttock goes numb... if I am sleeping on my right side, the right buttock goes numb. I have aches everywhere in my back and I am just constantly exhausted. I work 9-5 everyday - 3 days in office and 2 at home and only go maternity leave on 11th October. I just dunno how I going to cope the next few months 😭😭 any suggestions? And yeah I sleep with a pillow between my knees which does help a tad... any advise would be highly appreciated. Xoxo

I'm 31 weeks too and feeling very similar! Walking is a struggle, baby is low and I have a lot of lower abdominal heaviness. Also struggling to work. I'm a secondary school teacher and work full time so I'm also really struggling in the heat! Haven't experienced the numbness sleeping, but total sympathy with everything else!! No advice sorry, but just wanted to let you know you're not alone!!!
@Kerri awww bless you! As a teacher I hope you're not on your feet a lot especially with the lower pains. It's so hard isn't it? No one tells you at 31 weeks how physically uncomfortable you may be so for me, it was a shock! I don't think the numbness is normal so I'll speak to my MW about the tomorrow when I see her. I hope you feel more comfortable soon xoxo
🙋♀️ I exactly the same! And a teacher too, going up to half term…don’t quite know how I’m going to manage another 6 weeks 😩 hopefully once this heat passes it might ease up a little!
I am the same. I also have a 3.5 year old who starts school next week and is currently refusing to sleep past 5.30am as well as having BV AND a uti. I just feel hideous and hot and slow
I’m 31 weeks and feel the exact same, you are not alone. My body and mind is exhausted, my nausea is back, sleeping is impossible, I get a lot of lightning crotch and all I want to do is rest and get ready for baby. I also work full time and I have saved all my annual leave this year to take before my maternity leave starts, so I’m feeling very burnt out as I’ve only had 5 days annual leave off this year. I have 4 weeks left at work, I can’t bloody wait!
Thank you all but I am so sorry you all suffering. I guess this is why when our bubbas are born we love them with love we have never felt before because of how much we suffered to bring them into the world. My best friend told me that this when baby arrives everything you have suffered is all of a sudden worth it as well as a distant memory 💖 I hope this helps you all xxxxx
