Hi Ladies, I hope you are all well! Has anyone else's back really started to feel the pressure of pregnancy? My back aches through the night every night (I just can't get comfortable in bed) and then some days it aches in work when I'm sitting at my desk. Today it's quite bad, I'm going for a swim tonight to see if it helps!

Hi @Rach24 sorry to hear about your back ache- i remember suffering with that it well. We actually just spotted this post - thought it might be helpful.
Is anyone else struggling to sleep? I’ve started waking up frequently - just cannot get comfortable! I feel so tired all the time. Also I’ll be starving, eat and then just feel awful. The indigestion is not good!
@Sunshine8888 I’ve been sleeping fine, but I’ve had horrible indigestion too. I barely ate 5 bites of my lunch and felt so full and bloated immediately
@rach24 & @Sunshine8888 my sleeping comes and goes in spurts. I’m sleeping well now (aside from frequent bathroom trips) but other weeks I can’t get comfortable, despite the multiple support pillows lol. My back seems ok for the most part. I think my belly support band really helps that. I have started having some sciatica pain in my right (where baby seems to be) that’s pretty uncomfortable. I’ve pretty much accepted I’m going to be uncomfortable from now until delivery
@Rachel.a21 My indigestion comes and goes. Some days I feel like I could eat all the time (like today haha) and other days I’m like you, a few bites and I’m done. I have noticed I get reflux if I got too long without eating. I’m really trying to eat something small every few hours. Sometimes it’s hard.
I’m feeling a little down today. Mostly like I’m not being a good mom. I’m so exhausted lately and I don’t feel like my kids are getting me at my best. It makes me so sad. And then I’m wondering, we’ll, if I’m having trouble now, hows it going to be when there’s a baby here. Just a little overwhelmed today 😕
Aww hun we all have days like that pregnant or not pregnant and I don’t think it matters how many children you have ... some days you feel like super mum the next like the most incapable mum in the world .. it will be all be ok x
im not really struggling with back pain but my belly is so heavy at times it’s really hurts some days. Sleeping is my issue too I cannot get a good nights sleep but I am extremely stressed too so I’m not putting all down to pregnancy.
@Sunshine8888 you’re looking gorgeous! And what a dream! I would love a massage and a bit of a getaway. I’m settling for a fancy dinner out tonight without the kids though 😊
29 weeks today and definitely feeling the third trimester. The smallest things are making me tired. @Rachel.a21 I volunteer in my sons kindergarten classroom 5-6 days a month. I was there yesterday for less than two hours and wanted to cry. Teaching is certainly not for me, but the standing that long killed me! I don’t know how you’re doing it, but you’re amazing
@Rockinmom2 aw thank you! It’s definitely challenging. I had an appointment today and asked my doctor what the odds are for your second child coming early if your first one did naturally. She said to go ahead and expect my daughter to come early like my son 😳 I can see it happening with how stressed and tired I am everyday!
How’s everyone doing? Anything special for Valentine’s Day?
im doing well, just exhausted. We took the kids to a museum yesterday and were walking for 6 straight hours. My legs are sore today and I feel like I’m going to be tired forever lol. But the kids really enjoyed themselves. I have my checkup tonight and then I start every two weeks! I’ll be asking my dr about the tender spot on my stomach, although I’m pretty sure it’s normal and hearing her sweet heartbeat
@Rockinmom2 well done you walking for 6 hrs, I defo can't manage that at the moment I end up so drained. Hope your check up goes well tonight, can't believe that's you starting the 2 weekly check ups now, time is passing so quickly.
Nothing special for V day here, we just pottered about as normal as dh was working this weekend. I feel shocking today, start of two very busy weeks in the office and I woke up at 4am and couldn't get back to sleep so i'm a bit of a zombie today also have a really scratchy throat that started last night so I think I have a cold coming on. I am falling to bits just when I can't really wfh or take time off.
@Rockinmom2 I am doing well! I have a day off work today for President’s day, so that’s exciting. I have an appointment on March 9th and then I’ll be every two weeks as well!
since my son was 3 weeks early for no reason, I asked my doctor what are the odds of the second being early (of course, there’s no way to truly know as each pregnancy is different), but she said to go ahead and expect this one early as well. I ended up making my last day of work April 24th (I’ll be 37 weeks 2 days), so I only have 40 more days of work left! 🥳
@Chellefish I hope you aren’t coming down with something. Being sick and pregnant is the worst. Try and take some time for yourself the next few weeks, sounds like you’ll be busy!!
@Rachel.a21 Hopefully your little girl lets you have some rest time at home before she comes! I had my last day at 39 weeks with my son and my water broke at work. I was SO upset lol. I really wanted that week to rest and relax before.
@Sunshine8888 my dreams have been super vivid lately too! Woo for only 34 days of work. That’s exciting! It is coming so quickly. I’m not sure I feel ready!

@Rachel.a21 that must be so hard to be on your feet all the time! You are a strong woman!
My husband is abroad this weekend. Hope baby is nice and settled in there as would hate for anything to happen when he’s out the country!
