Pregnant and jealous

Today I’ve had to leave my month birth group because I’m honestly jealous of all the mums complaining about 3rd trimester being hard.
This isn’t my first pregnancy so I know where they’re coming from however this multiples pregnancy is a whole new level to a singleton pregnancy so it’s making my both angry and jealous of the mums that are only now starting to struggle with the 3rd trimester symptoms.
My whole 2nd trimester has been all 1st and 3rd trimester symptoms together and my 3rd trimester is honestly unbearable , I’ve lost count of the amount of times I’ve told my midwife I cannot do this anymore.

Has anyone else felt like this?

I get this 100%. I have a cousin who is pregnant with one baby, she is 6 weeks ahead of me term wise and everytime I speak to her she talks about how easy her pregnancy has been, she’s literally glowing when I see her, she’s out partying and going on holidays, mean while I’ve been struggling with the worst back and pelvic pain since 10 weeks. My journey compared to hers is horrid, and I’m dreading the third trimester. Im so happy for her because I wouldn’t wish this pain on anyone, but I am jealous of the way she has enjoyed her pregnancy and I’m unable to enjoy mine the same way, but I can never openly admit this to anyone around me 🫠

Csection day

Potentially having my 2nd little boy today and I am so nervous. Any tips for recovery with a toddler. My partner is having 3 weeks off but I am quite worried about the initial 6 weeks period.

Fear of giving birth

Hello everyone. This may sound extremely silly as I’m 35 weeks and it’s too late now but all of a sudden I have an overwhelming fear of giving birth , my mum laboured fast with me and my brother ( 3 hours from the first contraction to having him & 1 hour from the first contraction to having me )
I am utterly terrified I am 100% set on an epidural but if I labour fast like her by the time we get to hospital sit and wait to be assessed, wait for labour ward , wait for the doctor to be free ect ect . There mayyy boy be time . I’m utterly terrified it’s all I have been able to think about for days I go to sleep thinking about it I wake up thinking about it I’m even dreaming about it now .

I don’t really know what to do . I was offered an induction at 39 weeks for pgp and when I asked to talk to my midwife about it at my 34 week appointment( that another midwife made to discuss it ) she said no we will talk about it at ur next one wich is at 37 weeks 😩

Elective cesarean date?

Hi! I have a few medical issues and the general advice from practitioners is to opt for a caesarean.

I’m just wondering how many weeks in advance I might know my date? I have an obstetrician appointment eight weeks before my due date, is it likely I might get my date signed off then?

Due date is currently 25th of December.
Thank you!
