Struggling in third tri!!

Hey, just wanted to reach out for people who may be experiencing the same…
Little rant ahead 😅

I’ve just entered the third trimester and feel like everything has suddenly changed overnight. The back, neck and leg pains are killing me, really minimal and interrupted sleep waking up with headaches. I feel quite useless.
I’ve been off work for the past 2 days as it’s physical and on my feet all day and I’m genuinely worried I won’t be able to get back there. I was planning to start mat leave around 35/36 weeks but now I’m not so sure if I am not able to work through the pain. I can do daily things round the house but come to cooking (standing for about an hour) my back is really painful, which is why I feel concerned to return to work.

I know every pregnancy is different and I definitely don’t have it the worse but sometimes I just feel I’m overreacting and just need to get on with things!!

Sending love to you all ❤️❤️❤️

Anyone else a bit nervous about when it’s time to make that call to their partner when they go into labour?

With my first I was inducted due to reduced movement so my partner was aware when it was all happening so he was there from the beginning but this time I’m planning a home birth so am nervous about where my partner might be, what if I can’t get hold of him… my mind if all over the place 😅 what if it happens when I’m doing the nursery run and I’m 20 mins away from home, what if my partner is on a site visits for work an hour away!! I feel silly but I can’t help it!

Small baby

Been told that my baby is too small and im panicking my heads all over the place with stress. My midwife has tried to reassure me but im worried im 28 weeks and hes only 2 pounds 5 ounces
