Exhausted 😴

37 weeks today and I have zero energy.

I had 7 hours (broken) sleep last night and by 10:30am I could feel myself nodding off on the sofa.

Really struggling to entertain my 3.5 year old because I can barely keep my eyes open! Tell me I’m not the only one 🥱💤

This was me yesterday, I wrote a post about the same thing! My poor 2.5 year old was subjected to lots of tv 🙈

Yep I am struggling to stay awake for my two-year-old 😔 I've got outside this morning to hopefully prevent me nodding off 😅

You’re not alone 😴
I’ve had to take in as much help as possible this week as I need a sleep in the day!
38+4 and I’m done in. I have a 3.5yr old and an almost 2 year old 😴 thankfully husband home from work on Monday when I’m 39 weeks so I am counting down the hours!!

Me too🫠 I’m probably only getting about 1-2 hours sleep on a night. Luckily my daughter has a nap from 1:30-3:30pm so I manage to get my head down a bit, I look forward to that time of the day😂 I feel like such a bad mum at the moment as I’m sticking kids films on a lot and having cuddles with her on the sofa instead of going out as I can’t move atm (got awful sciatica and PGP) but I’m trying to be kinder to myself, this is just a phase and once baby is out I can be more present and actually move around! Third trimester tiredness is a lot!!

How to cope, Emergency C section

months of prepping for a water birth and i ended up having to be induced then an emergency c section since baby boy decided he didn't want to come anymore😂 im only 16 days pp but since coming home i've been constantly up and moving about. i don't think i've processed how traumatic the birth was yet since my family and partner haven't really sympathised with what i went through at all

Failed sweep now cramping

I had an attempt at a sweep yesterday afternoon but my cervix was fully closed so midwife couldn’t perform it.

Since then I’ve been very crampy. Does cramping mean the cervix is softening?

Has anyone has a failed sweep that lead to cramping that turned into spontaneous labour?

Stay at home Mum and ill

What are we doing as stay at home mums when we’re extremely ill. I can hardly get off the toilet, I’m throwing up a lot, I hardly feel like I can do anything and be a mum I’m exhausted can’t eat any slight movement is a sickness wave and I feel so bad. My toddler is 17 month old so it’s not like he just sits there he’s constantly on the move and wanting me. Any suggestions on what I could be doing I’m honestly feeling so guilty
