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!!
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
any tips or advice for coping ? should i even bother with talking therapies?

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?

Any tips you ladies have for relaxing?

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
