    Broken Toe & Fed Up!!!

    I love being pregnant, even at 38+ weeks with nausea the whole way through & a few other crazy things happening I am totally amazed at my body and at the beautiful person growing within me.

    What I don't love is that I broke one of my toes almost two weeks ago & it doesn't want to get better. It hurts and means I can't fit into shoes and hurts even more when I walk so I am totally restricted in where I can go.

    I started maternity leave a few weeks ago & was loving taking our beautiful dog on his morning walks & then our usual ritual of my husband and I taking him for our evening walks...a nice family time together. No more dog walking for me.

    Not much of anything really & I am super frustrated and starting to feel really negative.

    I don't want to go into labour while my toe is so sore as it will restrict my movement. I have it splinted & wrapped and have been taking Arnica to try help it heal but it is not happening very quickly. I am also pretty certain the extra 10kgs I am carrying about isn't helping but I love my extra 10kgs....



    Just a frustrated rant...thanks for listening!

    Sending you because of your sore toe and extra because my EDD is 3/5 too and if I am going stir crazy, can only imagine how hard it'd be if I couldn't move. There's only so much TV and reading that one person can do!

    Thank you for your thoughts. I had a big frustrated cry last night...helped a bit.

    Geeezzz it is only a broken toe, I know it could be so much worse but it doesn't take away the frustration.
