I’m freaking exhausted

I am so so tired of being pregnant. 😭 37 weeks and I’ve had so much pelvic pressure/pain all day today I’m so exhausted. I’m tired of having a huge tummy and not being able to wear anything. The anxiety of labor is killing me too, I’m still terrified despite being so over it. On top of everything I just want my baby here already. HOW do people manage these last few weeks because I just can’t!!!

Girl you're not alone! I'm 39 weeks today and feeling the same way. I miss my cute clothes, I'm uncomfortable, and I'm terrified of getting this baby out. I wanted to be pregnant for a while and enjoyed the majority of the pregnancy, but the end is rough. I'm a believer it will all be so worth it! 💓

I’ve been in the same boat I will be 38 weeks on Monday and I am absolutely miserable. I’ve been in so much pain that they finally had to prescribe me a muscle relaxer to combat the round ligament pain and bone pain that I’ve been feeling and these last few weeks of pregnancy. In my state they won’t induce until 39 weeks unless it’s a medical emergency so as soon as 39 weeks hits Baby he’s coming out and I will get to meet my son.

Same thing here I just turned 37 weeks today I was just going to post the same thing then I saw your post 😪my pelvic is damn painful turning has become something else I do scream at night it’s like pressure on it that it’s unbearable my body feels so so tired I just want this baby out I want to meet her so badly am just afraid to be going in this way past my due date I want my body back am struggling to eat am not craving anything and it’s hard I feel week sometimes and damn nobody can understand you 😌can’t wait to see my girl

I’m not waiting to go past my due date, I’m gonna be induced at 39 weeks so I can be done with this pregnancy and the pain and finally hold my son in my arms. 9 days and counting

Literally just finished telling my boyfriend I’m so over being pregnant. I feel so bad saying it out loud. I am blessed and overjoyed however mama is tired. I want comfort and energy again. This is my second and I’d do it all over again but right now I just want her to arrive. 😭

I'm gonna be 38 weeks this Wednesday and I'm literally doing EVERYTHING I can to induce labor. Sex, nipple stimulation, working out, using my medicine ball, etc. I had an appointment on Friday and I'm still not dilated but have back pain and pelvic pressure like crazy. I feel u girl😭😩

Pregnant with baby 2

Hi everyone! I gave birth via emergency c section 9 months ago as my baby boy was measuring big, he pooped inside so there was risk of him inhaling it and I wasn’t progressing past 3cm to have a natural birth and now I’m currently 20 weeks pregnant with my 2nd baby. I’m having a consultation on Tuesday to talk about birth options and to have any questions answered but I don’t know what to ask. I feel like it would be safer having a c section again but at the same time I don’t want a c section. Does anyone have any question ideas I could ask or any advice/stories of similar situations. Tia

I have a feeling like I might get attacked from this but I’m going to say it anyways. incognito 🥸 GLP1s being mainstream for regular people who are NOT diabetic or morbidly obese is bad for so many reasons 💉💉💉

Side affects, long term dependency, supply shortages and costs, regaining the weight back as soon as you get off them.. all that ASIDE how do people not see just from a zoomed out perspective how crazy it is. I can’t imagine being someone facing food insecurity in an underdeveloped country and watching westerners give themselves daily jabs so they can lose weight while still eating a calorie surplus/ crappy foods. It’s giving hunger games when district 12 Katniss finds out at the party at the capital that people eat and then take a pill to make themselves sick so they can 🤮 and eat some more. These ads running ozempic everywhere are disgusting, and then getting amazing athletes like Serena Williams to push them talking bout “i’ve never been healthier” girl you were an OLYMPIC athlete wym??

Planned c section

Has anyone had a planned c section and been home the same day?

Getting pregnant after c section

When did you get pregnant again after a c section? Our plan was always to have 2 under 2 but that is now out the window because I had an emergency section. I know they say 18 months and we will be sticking to it (as much as I don’t want to) but I’m curious how quickly you got pregnant after your section?

Movements

I’m 28 weeks tomorrow. Yesterday I had loads and loads of movements but today I have only felt small flutters and a couple of kicks throughout the day. I get so confused as some people say they don’t have a pattern but others say they do. We have a Doppler so used it this evening and could hear the heartbeat and then moving but does anyone else get quieter days of movement than others? I am seeing my midwife tomorrow so will check but just find myself getting anxious about it and don’t know when to get checked. I know they encourage it but last time as soon as I got to triage baby started moving loads!

Clogged ducts, eye gunk

Little Theo has been having really gunky eyes, we’ve taken him to the doctor and the a and e and they’ve said it’s most likely a clogged duct, anyone else’s baby have this and was there anything to do about it? I feel horrible constantly wiping his eye xx
