Feeling overwhelmed

I’m 36+3 and feel like I’m loosing my marbles! I watch my wife go to work, do overtime, go to placement (she is a student as well as working) and I stay home and do what? I finished work week ago and I feel like it’s been the longest week of my life. I am trying to get bits and bobs done in a house to get ready for the baby but I get tired so easily as well. I feel guilty for not doing more, but when i push myself too much I am in agony with my back and hips afterwards. Anyone else feeling like this? I am panicking that nothing is ready and then fall asleep sitting up or struggling to find energy to move. Please tell me I’m not the only one!

I’m exactly the same, I’ve been off sick most of my pregnancy because of one thing and another. I started my maternity leave last week n it felt like the longest week of my life. I’ve still got so much stuff left to do. The baby room isn’t even organised. My hospital bag isn’t still fully packed. I’ve got washing everywhere and now my little boy is on school holidays so it’s even harder to get stuff sorted out with him being off to as can’t just leave him in a room. I still have things I need to buy for my little boy who starts school in sept and I also still have things I need to buy for this little one. My emotions are all over the place I’ve cried the last 2 days :(

It’s so hard isn’t it! This is my 1st one so I don’t even have the added stress of looking after another child. The emotions are all over the place and I am doing my own head in crying over anything and everything 🤦🏻‍♀️

I’m 39 weeks tomorrow and still working two days a week and looking after my two year old around that, it’s overwhelming but rewarding. I think getting out the house everyday has helped! 💘💘💘

I have had consistent pain this pregnancy so it hasn’t been fun lol , this heatwave hasn’t been good for all of us I think haha x

Waters broke at 32+5

My waters broke on Friday night at 32 weeks and 5 😳! Super scary (and just like the films!) but been in hospital since and labour doesn’t seem to happening naturally (no contractions or heavy bleeding since an initial loss on Friday) so they’ll keep me for three days and then send me home and I’ll just come in if something changes. If not they’ll re-book my section for 37 weeks!!
Really nervous about having a pre-term baby and the potential of NICU. My last baby was 4lbs 13, 10 days early but absolutely fine. Does anyone have any success stories of babies born 6+ weeks early? Thanks in advance x

Line??

I need help… I cannot tell if there is a line? I’ve been very nauseous really only at night time, I’ve been super tired, and if I don’t eat the second I wake up I feel awful. I don’t know if this all just happens to be a coincidence or if it’s too early to test. But I’ve heard that there’s a line and there isn’t so I need help.

Diabetes

My baby started nursery at 11 months she became unwell within the first week which I was expecting. However this illness has not left for almost 3 months she’s had 2 lots of antibiotics. Steroids and now on an inhaler my poor baby hasn’t been herself since she started nursery.
We are now looking into diabetes as she has an excessive thirst she is constantly asking for water throughout the day and night her nappies are always full. The nursery even said they’ve not seen a baby love water this much before and it’s only just occurred to me her symptoms align with diabetes.

I just wondered if anyone has been through a similar thing with the water ?
