It is Tuesday. I have reached the "everything hurts and I'm dying" stage of pregnancy. I don't know how I'm going to make it till the end of the year when I go out on leave. Between work and the toddler I am struggling.

I have class this morning and I'm losing my voice. Luckily my dept head is scheduled to actually do all of the talking today so I can just sit and watch.

Between not sleeping and it being hard to get around, I can't see myself making it the full month. And I'm trying to work up until Christmas. Ugh.

+3. "Everything hurts and I'm dying" is my new motto. I never got this uncomfortable with my previous pregnancies. Hopefully the holidays are enough of a distraction to keep my mind off how sick I am of being pregnant 😂

I just came here looking for commiseration I’m feeling awful and you all were already ahead of me!
I was going to ask if anyone else felt like a zero energy sloth. I know part of this has to do with my lack of sleep due to DS1s stomach virus but I’m beyond exhausted.
I need to get in the shower and head to my office in the city. I made a pit stop in bed and I cannot get up. I was just contemplating if I could wear a baseball cap into work and no make up. I cannot.
I’m not as far along as you guys either. 31 weeks and change. Waaaaaah.

Also, anyone feel out of breath? I’m having to take slow deep breaths while I’m lying in bed. WTF. I know I sound dramatic.

rebeccabunch, me! I get out of breath so easily and have been like this for months. I actually started parking in the visitor spots at work so my walk isn't quite so long.

So much “everything hurts and I’m dying”. I felt so great with DS! I loved being pregnant. Now I’m just so flipping sore. I don’t want to move. Having a 2 year old and being pregnant is no freaking joke. I try to remind myself as my OB told me “your first pregnancy completely wrecks your pelvis”. Real talk. 4 more weeks of work. I think I can I think I can I think I can.

I will join your “everything hurts and I’m dying” club. Work yesterday really took a toll on my body today. I am so sore. I actually slept though because I was so exhausted. I just did a little bit of shopping and then came home. Now I am watching teen mom and waiting for the time to get G from the bus.

flippinchica, I told DH last night I just want to take off until I have this baby. I have enough days, I could easily cover that plus mat leave but I just can't do that. I wish I could. I am so worn out at the end of the day, especially since DS doesn't go to sleep until 10:30ish on the weeknights these days due to nap at daycare.

Hiiii. Im home from school— I slept awful last night & DD must be night training herself bc she’s been coming in at 5ish the last few nights asking to go potty (diaper has been dry). So that sucks. But both classes went well today & I started a convo with my admin about my maternity leave plans. She basically said “oh yea whatever you think you need & just start thinking about it & let me know” lol. She’s so chill which is great but also I’m the type of person who likes to have someone tell me exactly what to do.
Waiting for DD to nap here in about 20 minutes & then I’m going to make lunch & watch tv. DH was home sick yesterday & stayed home again today so he is also napping. My parents come tomorrow night & I am PUMPED!! I need the help, especially with H out of commission, I’m so exhausted from doing all the things.

Oh good! I found the “everything hurts and I’m dying” club. Glad it’s not just me! It’s mostly my pelvis and lady bits. They hurt. They’re swollen. I remember feeling like this toward the end with DD1, but the difference is I was able to go home and sleep or relax. I’m 30+1 and I’m not very confident I’ll last another 10 weeks.
Hang in there, girls!

Omg I’m so glad I’m not the only one who is beyond uncomfortable! I honestly don’t know how you are all doing this while looking after other children.
I’ve had to start taking iron pills and the constipation is unreal. I even have the ones that are supposed to be easier on your stomach. I finally bought colace yesterday but it hasn’t worked yet.... I’m trying to eat as much fibre and drink as much water as possible.
I’m sure my new co-op student thinks I’m nuts. I have to sit down like every 10 minutes because I’m out of breath.
Exactly 2 months to go today. Kill me now...

Also, anyone feel out of breath? I’m having to take slow deep breaths while I’m lying in bed. WTF. I know I sound dramatic. not dramatic. I am short of breath alllll the freaking time. And then I panic about being short of breath and begin a seemingly endless cycle of poor breathing. It's the worst symptom for me

I'm not a graceful pregnant lady so I was pretty much over it in the first tri but the non stop uncomfortable is slowly killing me. I am so easily irritated too its terrible. I have another growth scan next week so they can figure out the best date for my csection and i go back and fourth between wanting him to measure big so he can come out sooner or just sucking it up for the extra week.
We have our company christmas party on friday night so D is staying with my inlaws over night thank god. It will be SOO nice not having to try and wrangle that orangutan into bed for a night. Bedtime is such a struggle over here it gives me anxiety thinking about what that will be like once we add another

Hang in there, girls! Yes! I realized the other day that I need to try rest more lol. With DD I could literally spend all day on the couch. Obviously that isn’t an option this time & I hadn’t realized just HOW much I’m on my feet chasing DD. I keep wondering why I am achy or not sleeping well & it finally dawned on me that I’m dojng so much all day— even on days I “take it easy” — no wonder everything hurts!

Add me to the "short of breath" club! I'll be 31 weeks tomorrow and I'm having trouble breathing and talking at the same time or breathing and doing anything else really. Don't hate me, but I haven't reached the really uncomfortable stage yet although my back hurts if I'm standing up too long. Getting up out of bed or off the couch is getting more difficult though so I'm sure the "I'm miserable" stage is just around the corner!
On a happier note our bathroom remodel (minus the carpet installation in the closet and bedroom) should be done this week, but I'm still not holding my breath. I'm starting to put things back in cabinets just to get them out of boxes in our bedroom, hallway and guest bedroom. We can't move things into the closet yet as our contractor is still building the custom corner shelves we want installed, but getting things out of places they aren't supposed to go is a step in the right direction. I'm also taking this opportunity to purge expired meds, half used travel toiletries and other miscellaneous things that were in our linen closet.

Definitely short of breath here. I have a new appreciation for people with breathing issues. I sit down to talk to people at work and I'm having trouble breathing at the same time and sometimes I have trouble breathing when I lay flat. That and the general exhaustion is the most difficult part. Don't get me wrong I'm happy to have this baby inside cooking but physically it is a struggle.

I'm still hanging out in the hospital, but I'm now officially 29 weeks! The other lady on the floor with the really early pprom will be 24 weeks at midnight, so I've been thinking of her all day.
I've been cleared to leave the floor with an escort, so long as I'm in a wheelchair. Today, my mom and I went to a fun little tea put on by the hospital volunteers. We had cake, fruit, tea, and a nice chat with the ladies auxiliary.

Hey everyone!
Good news for the boys. One of the boys has been moved to low flow oxygen! Woo! He seems to be tolerating it well! His brother has been bumped to feeds every three hours and his amount is bumping up! Keep going little guys! Also both have gained over a pound since birth.
We did have a small scare with baby b. His head circumference seemed to be growing too much too fast which made the doctors concerned but he seems to be stable and they think it might just have been different people measuring slightly differently. When babies are this small it doesn’t take much for measurements to look a little off 🤷🏻♀️

Is anyone else going through a phase where everything annoys you? I've had this a few times this pregnancy.
For example, yesterday DD1 had diarrhea at school so I got her early and took her home. She was acting normally and eating and drinking normally and didn't have any diarrhea at home so I sent her to school today. I got an email from her teacher that said she had 5 "loose stools" this morning and the handbook said that they have to be 24 hours diarrhea free before coming back to school. Come to find out I think some of the "loose stools" were just changed too early so there was probably only one or two. And DD1 was still acting fine. They have overreacted in the past about thinking she was sick and she wasn't so this whole thing annoyed me.
So the other thing - our sitter didn't get DD1 yesterday after school since I picked her up. We only use her in home care part-time. So I asked if we could switch to Thursday and she made a big deal and said "I can make an exception this time." We pay her for holiday weeks that she's closed and obviously for days DD1 is sick and doesn't go. I understanding still having to pay if you are full time, but we are part time. I just think it's weird.
Anyway, sorry for the rant but everything is annoying me today and I am seriously considering just moving DD1 to full time day care which we obviously need anyway.
