Ugh, I feel horrible

I don't know if I'm getting sick, or just having a rough few days. Last week (32 weeks) I hit the proverbial wall. Getting up, going to work, working, driving home, and eating dinner is about all I can do in a day. I'm so overtired it is hard to fall asleep. And when I finally do, I just need to get up to pee or I go to roll over and wake myself up.

Last night I was laying on the couch and just fell apart. I was nauseous, I got a really bad headache, my throat was killing me, and everything just hurt - legs, back, arms, neck, you name it. I went up to bed and started getting really annoying braxton hicks (the strongest I've felt them, usually it is just like oh, that is a little unpleasant). Plus from the walk up the stairs I was totally out of breath.

I just lost it. I cried myself to sleep. DH was trying to console me, but it just wasn't happening. Today, my throat only hurts a touch, like it does most mornings when I wake up since I'm a mouth breather and I dry out my throat. My head hurts too, but I slept for about 11 hours straight (didn't even get up to pee) so it could be from that.

Ugh, I just want to feel better!!! OK, that came out really really long. If you made it this far, thanks for letting me vent!!

Re: Ugh, I feel horrible

I'm in the same boat as you are. 3rd trimester is very hard. Try to rest as much as you can on the weekends...and stay hydrated! That should help with the BH contractions.

Re: Ugh, I feel horrible

I'm so sorry you're feeling so cruddy! I can relate. I had a breaking point like that earlier in my pregnancy. I was miserable and I couldn't sleep and was in so much pain.

Hang in there

Hang in there! You're almost there though it doesn't feel like that!

I am 36 weeks and I totally had a moment like that the other night when I was huffing to get off the couch and then struggling to reach something on the floor and then LO was kicking so hard i wanted to cry. . I just said to DH "there is no way I can take another 4 weeks of this!!!!"

and of course we can!!! try to take care of yourself and if you need to take a day off TAKE IT!!! I know it's hard bc you probably want to save days for leave but you also don't want to go into it all exhausted!!
