Yes, I’ve just hit week 30 and now I’m struggling. Getting up 4 times a night and not being comfy in bed is tiring me out I think 😅

Yes im exactly the same. Ive been pretty well up until now, ill be 30 weeks tomorrow and the pressure is terrible. Im also getting, what i believe is 'lightening crotch' its awful. All I want to do is lie down and sleep the next 10 weeks away 😴 😪

I'm 31 weeks today and I've got a ton of pressure on my bladder, pelvic gurdle and sciatica pain so I'd like to sleep these next 9 weeks away🤣

I’m 29/30 and I’m so so bloody tired . Can’t sleep . Heartburn . Just feel no energy through the day I’ve had to take week off work 😩

I’m 29 weeks and I’ve suddenly hit a wave of exhaustion! I’ve been struggling with sleep since falling pregnant but after the heat the last few weeks I just can’t get back into a normal rhythm! 😴

Period tmi

Has anyone else experienced this after giving birth because I’m just so confused 😂 normally I’ll wear tampons when im on my heavy days but if I’m too light for a tampon or a normal pad I just wear panty liners BUT since giving birth it doesn’t hit the pad just straight into the middle anymore it sort of only goes on the pad to the side and then leaks onto my underwear even when I’m flowing really light. I did have an episiotomy but I’ve also went back for surgery to get that fixed again and still leaks to the side. Very annoying and inconvenient. I would assume it’s got something to do with the way the episiotomy healed the first time that possibly couldn’t be fixed when I had the other surgery for it.

Curiosity

Just curious how accurate your growth scan weight was right to there actual born weight☺️

Anyone Else?

Im 38Wks+5 with my first baby and its like my baby is teasing us all 😆
I lost my mucus plug on Saturday and Sunday begun having mild contractions. Then they eased off and stopped. Moved into my first home on Monday and had nothing. Then on Tuesday from about 5pm i begun having regular contractions again, this time more intense and i was having to bear into them and squat ect to stay comfortable. Then by midnight they had eased off and stopped completely by 1am. 🙄😅

This happened again on Wednesday; again fairly intense, not as regular but from approximately 6pm, again having completely eased off and stopped by midnight.

Is anyone else experiencing this? Part of me thinks maybe baby is going to come soon but i wonder if this will continue right up until my due date (13th) or even if baby will be late 😆
Definitely feel like we are getting teased 😆
