I hear you!! It's 3am and I'm awake. Baby is kicking, I have sore hips and back and have also woken with a sore throat. I'm 38 weeks this week and still working until right before I'm due. I love being pregnant and I know how blessed I am to have this baby growing in my belly but my body is tired and emotionally and mentally I'm really starting to struggle. I'm not a good mum to my DS at the moment either which is Breaking my heart
All I can think of is, eyes on the prize, this can't and won't last forever!!!
Thankyou everyone - im glad to hear (as bad as it may be/sound) that im not the only one.....
I am doing a hyrdo class every week to help with the ligament pain/back pain etc......by the time monday arvo comes (the day i have it) im really needing it, sometimes im fine for a few days after other days im back in pain by the following arvo
My favourite food is on hold until after bubs
For some reason i really dont like having baths and we only have x amount of hot water, so i try not to shower more then once a day unless i really need it....then poor hubby has to miss out on a shower if i have 2 (enough hot water for 3 showers, 1 for me, 1 for hubby and 1 for the boys)
Yeah my midwife suggested panadene forte aswell.....i just dont like taking them or relying on pain killers, iykwim....
although i took some panadol last night and was able to get to sleep, mr 5 was already in my bed and then at 4 am mr 3 decided he was in our bed or look out, by this stage i was wide awake cos bubba decided that it must mean its wake up time, finally got back into bed (and find room lol) to only have hubbys alarm going off lucky kids stayed asleep and when hubby left i was able to doze back off and get an hour or so more sleep.....
BRose - i too woke last week the same way, still havnt been able to shake the sore throat either hugs, its hard when we have other little people to look after......but i know they are strong kids and will be ok.....
prehaps you need to atleast drop some hours so you can start to rest BEFORE bubs comes and spend some more time with DS??? I know when ive been a bad mum, i try and make up for it when i can......even if its small things throughout the day, or something the next day....
sometimes im a bad mum for a few days before i realise its me and not them (iykwim) and then i have a really downer day, kinda like a min break down, then the next day i try and make it up to everyone.....
i know 7 weeks isnt long and that i wont be pg forever, this pg has gone fast right up til i hit the 30wk mark, but thats also when things slowed down around here, so im thinking if i try and keep myself busy again then the next few weeks wont be such a hurdle......
I'm with you too, can't offer any advice but only big
I'm only a few days behind you and I think I've been over this from the start! Hasn't been smooth sailing here either, but now I'm just trying to keep as busy as I can to distract myself from the horrible way that I'm feeling.
I feel "not me" today - i had a busy day yesterday and over did it (rearranged part of the house and did a food shop, where the check out dude decided i needed to have all the heavy stuff in one bag, as well as have 2 boys who thought they would try my patience all day lol)
So im hoping its just my body recovering....Im feeling nauseated and just "off"........ive (sorry tmi) cleaned out my bowels already this morning and little miss is being pretty quiet, ive got a couple of BH's but cant shake this off feeling i have, its like im in a imposters body.....(if that makes sense).......see what the rest of the day holds.......
PacRak - it is hard and i am trying to keep busy, but i always seem to over do it when i keep busy and pay for it that night or following day lol - hugs and thankyou xo
sorry but i am glad to hear that - was/am feeling a little concerned......
Yeah i can, but its a matter of will i, sometimes i cant help myself lol
Ive got a couple of errands to run and a little housework to do (need to finish off those dishes i could only get half way through yesterday), but will try and rest up when i can......
I changed the sheets on my girls' beds on Saturday and literally had to have a lie down afterwards - ridiculous!! So I get you on the overdoing it thing.
I hope you can have an easier day today. So hard when you have LOs to keep happy and occupied too.
