I feel awful - what can i do to make it better?

Question

I am 30wks 3 days pregnant.... 9wks 4 days until my due date and i don't know if i will make it til then!

I am soooo moody and irritable and uncomfortable. I'm tired beyond belief because i just can't sleep - if i do (miraculously) find a position in which to sleep its a given my baby will start kicking until i move... and then i'm uncomfortable again. I'm feeling really horrible on all fronts. I'm working full-time and this is draining my (already) low energy levels... half the time i feel like a zombie. Everything in my body aches more than usual. I've tried to be positive and stay healthy and active etc and so far its worked but i now feel like i'm reaching the ends of my reserves. I just want to sleep away the next nine weeks which is completely impossible. I'll be working for another 7wks. I'm constantly on the verge of tears for no reason and i just want this to be over!

Any advice ladies? I really need it!

Answer 1

this sounds silly but my aunt had to sleep sitting up it worked for her. n when i was preg i would put my knee under me so i was on my belly but didn't have my weight on my belly it helped me alot i had a bad back problem

Answer 2

I know u dont feel like it but go for walks often. I walked all through my first pregnancy, usually at around 6:00, got home, took a nice shower, ate dinner and by that time I was so sleepy I didnt care if the baby was kicking, i was out!!! Walking is also how i got my water to break:)

Answer 3

If you can afford it, take it off of work. You probably want to be on light duty now anyway. Remember if your stressed out, so is your baby!! Take it easy, ask for your doctor's help... If you cant afford to be off, ask to be on light duty. With my son, I went into false labor 3 weeks before my due date because I was so uncomfortable... just take it easy, you'll miss it when its over :-)

Let your doctor know, maybe he/she can prescribe something.
Hang in there mama...not much longer..!!!
