Just need to vent

[Emilylouise-]

So long vent

Currently 32 weeks pregnant

Suffering with pelvic pain the pressure in my never region is excruciating 😖 It feels like he is trying to push his way out so to speak I'm struggling to walk as baby is really low down

His kicks and movements are intense making me catch my breath at times

Heartburn that just won't go away even with use of gaviscon

Constipation driving me mad drs gave me lactalouse to help but it doesn't only thing that helps me is grapes lol

After last scan was told his femur is measuring short but everything else was perfect

I was told the same with my last pregnancy and our son was born with long legs so this doesn't bother me too much iv got another 3 scans booked in last one on 5june when I'll be having a sweep in hopes it will induce labour as they don't want me going to term or beyond as this is my 5th pregnancy

I also have spontaneous labour so no warning it just happens all my labours have been quick first 2 I got to hospital just in time 3rd I had at home and last I was blue lighted to hospital as I had to have him in hospital due to strep b he was perfectly fine no issues

I just feel exhausted tired a lot

I just want my baby here don't know how I'll last another 6 weeks

Any advice or reassurance from others in same position appreciated x

I’m not quite in the same situation but I’m with you on the pelvic pains, pressure, struggling to walk, intense movements and heartburn! I’m 37 weeks + 3 with baby number 1!

I’m off to the physio tomorrow to hopefully get some relief from the aches and pains, I spoke to her on the phone at the beginning of the week and she said it’s likely I’ll come out on crutches just to support myself getting out of the house a little as at the moment, I’m pretty much house bound. Maybe ask for yourself if you think that could help?!

Headaches are also horrendous right now, I’ve been checked for pre-eclampsia on numerous occasions during this pregnancy but nothing is coming back as concrete evidence.

I’m trying my best to stay upbeat as I know my little bundle will be so worth it but pregnancy is really taking its toll in this last stretch for me.

Are you able to stop and rest or are you still working? It’s my first week on maternity leave this week and it’s been a god send not to have to do anything if I don’t need to!

Thinking of you, and hope you manage to find some relief soon! X
