3rd pregnancy at 39 and body falling APART!

[happymamma]

I've just turned 40 and this is no......6!!!!!! You can imagine how I'm feeling!

everyone I wish none of us were suffering but I'm reassured to know it's not just me!

Wierd, I thought for a second this was my post lol.

I just turned 40 last month, Im pg with #6, A Boy!! And Im feeling like crap!!! My body doesn't ache, Im just drained all the time. Im very weak, can't seam to do much without my body starting to shake. Like Im not getting enough sleep or vitamins,... which I am so its just messed up.

Om planning on going back to the gym on jan 9th,. when my older kids are back in school. Maybe that will help? Im also getting some bw done, maybe its something as simple as low iron?

I can so relate.. My OH teased me that I am going to turn into Rip vanWinkle because if I had my way I'd sleep nonstop. This is my 4th pregnancy after 2 losses and I feel like I'm falling apart. Everything hurts lol my back, hips legs ache and I generally feel 85 lol glad I'm not alone!

I feel better hearing there are others out there having similar experiences. I'm 37, pregnant with my 3rd(DS 10, DD 8) and this time around is so much harder. I have partial placenta previa (was full for some time) and so I have to rest often. I have vericose veins that hurt my right leg so I have to wear support socks and I can't stand for too long. I'm swollen and tired and have back pain and abdominal pressure when I stand for too long. I was able to do so much in my last two pregnancies so this resting stuff is hard. Especially since I was a pretty active person before (taught aerobics) and now I'm not permitted to exercise or do too much at all. I just had to take my 3 hour glucose test because my 1 hour test came up with elevated levels, so I'm waiting to hear whether I have gestational diabeties(never had before). I have so much I want to do around the house and errands I want to run but I can't because I have to rest more than do much of anything else and I find it SO HARD! How many times before have I imagined how nice it would be to be forced to sit and relax but now I find it so hard and depressing at times. ugh! I feel big and tired and ready to be done. I hate saying that since this will be my last and I'm so excited to meet this little girl, yet my body is not cooperating and I don't love being pregnant like some women do. Wish I did.

Also, I woke up with painful cramping this morning and later in the morning while fixing kids breakfast had a bit of a gush/leak that required me to change my pants. I didn't panic because it's happened before and the doctor told me last time to just watch for continuous leaking. So that's what I'm doing. I'm bedridden (per my husband's request) and hoping this is just a freak thing. SOOOOOOO tired of resting and feeling big and hungry and achy. LOL

SO, I feel your pain. (((hugs)))

So Glad I'm Not alone. This 3rd prgnancy is killing me and i've still got 3 months to go. My privates and inner thighs are aching like mad as soon as i walk or stand, my heels are hurting, probably from hobbling around my back aches and I'm shattered to the point i could spend all day lay down sleeping or just lying around. Good god its tuff this time round x x

Same here.. since this is my 5th baby.. that is most likely the cause of my achs and pains.. not my age.

My hips are so sore, esp. are attempting to do housework or long walks / stairs.
I am finding I am super edgy too.. someone says something wrong and I want to rip their face off
I am usually a pretty easy going person.
On top of that I am so tired all the time
