Anyone else feeling really heavy?

So I’m 27 weeks, and I feel really heavy! It’s the only way I can explain it, like my front feels heavy and my back hurts ( but not that much surprisingly) it’s more that when I’m stood or sat I feel uncomfortable. Anyone else feeling this at the min? This is my second pregnancy and child, and I don’t remember it being this bad first time round!

I’m 30wks and 3rd baby- I’m really struggling 😭 All of a sudden feel so heavy and uncomfortable. Also a horrible weight on my pelvic floor! Am now struggling to walk, bend over, basically do anything! The funny thing is everyone keeps telling me how ‘neat’ I look and smaller than my last pregnancy 🙈

I’ve been told second pregnancies are harder in general but I’m having twins so next next level 😅 I’ve been feeling like this the entire second trimester ! I’m basically sofa n bed bound every day now because it’s to painful to move 🤦🏼‍♀️ generally feel like my pelvis is about to snap

Yep me I’m 27 weeks and feel so so heavy and tbh I’m no where near as big as I was with my others . This is my 5th baby . Stomach just feels tight and extremely heavy all the time . It’s not an easy journey this pregnancy thing lol rewarding and beautiful at the end but it’s so tiring . I don’t have energy to do anything. Barely can do the school run lol

I’m almost 30 weeks and have been feeling exactly like this for the last few weeks!! Heavy and mega achey pressure down below!

Failed 2 hour test - doctor has said nothing

I definitely failed my 2 hour glucose test on Tuesday this week, with numbers out of range on both my fasting and 1 hour blood draw. I may be rushing my doctor, but I messaged and called because I am going overseas in less than a week and need to know if I need to, say pick up supplies or be medicated. Is it normal for no one to reach out after a failed glucose test, or respond at all?

Blood pressure

Witching Hours - There Is Hope!!

Just a positive post to say that there is light at the end of the tunnel for those of you with babies going through the witching hours! My baby boy is now almost 8 weeks old, from around 3 weeks he was inconsolable for a couple of hours anywhere between 5pm and 9pm, but the past three nights has been so much better!

It is a haaaaarrrrdddd phase though! If you are going through it, what helped me was holding him securely while bouncing on my birthing ball and singing slowed down versions of my fave pop songs (twinkle twinkle got old v fast!) and then tapping in and out with my husband when it got too much.

Hoping I've not jinxed it with this post 😅
