Still 9 more weeks of this? Ugh!

I feel for you, I've had it too. It sucks! And I have the pee thing too, so so annoying, especially when you feel so desperate and think you are going to pee yourself then just a drop comes out!! (I lean forward a bit now so more comes out - I find that works sometimes!)

My little girl has been so low for so long, I have SPD and the heavier she gets it literally is agony - I literally don't leave the house unless I have to now!

Luckily I'm being induced next Tuesday so there is light at the end of the tunnel for me!!

 

I hugely sympathise!! I also feel heavy and aching my hips are starting to feel it now, and my pubic bone aches when I get out of the car! I also have times when I constantly feel the need to wee - and I agree that leaning forwards to get those last few drops out can help it is miserable at times though!

You'll be there before you know it - and remember, you're classed as full term from 37 weeks, so you may have less time to wait than you think xxxxxxxx

 

Thank you!

Yep, SPD and turning in bed has to be one of the most painful things at the moment - sure it will pale in comparison to labour though ha ha!!! One thing to watch out for, apparently if you have SPD you are quite likely to get other sore joints in pregnancy, especially from 35 weeks onwards, and lo and behold my finger joints have been ridiculously sore for the past 10 days, especially in the morning - so watch out for that one!

 

I hear ya. I dunno if i can handle 8-10 more weeks.

My bladder always feels full and when I do go it's barely a drop. Then sometimes i have this huge urge to pee and it goes away almost immediately. Heartburn is so bad that I want to throw up all the time and it kinda gave me a cough. I cry and get angry over every little thing. My ribs (front and back) are on fire a lot of the time. Then there's this new odd thing: my hip! My lower back till my entire left leg are in constant pain. No position is comfortable anymore that I just started crying my eyes out last night as it hurt, and I couldn't sleep and there was no comfortable position to sleep in. I don't feel like I can go on much longer lol.

 

I feel your pain! Mine's measuring a month bigger then he should be. He takes up my ENTIRE torso. Not just my lower pelvis area which he likes to hit constantly where I have sharp random pains all the time out of nowhere... But he's in my rib cage putting his foot on top of my ribs, under them, pushing on my lungs to where out of nowhere I just can't breathe at all! 10 more weeks sounds like an eternity at this point. I have to be on bedrest and it's going to make me gain SO MUCH weight. I'm ready for this one. I just want to get this show on the road...

 

We are due at almost the same time and in right there with you with the discomfort. I can't even imagine getting any bigger than I am now. I keep saying "if I could just get rid of the back pain I would be fine" but then I remember the rib pain and the hip pain I get in the the morning. ::sigh::

 

I totally understand where you are coming from I have uterine, bladder, and rectal prolapse from my son's delivery, which I knew would make third tri difficult this time around. I wasn't expecting to develop SPD as well though, the pressure of LO's increasing weight on both my public bone and bulging pelvic organs is enough to have me desperate for bed rest to be able to just lay down! Working 10 hour shift from 9pm-7am has made things difficult as well We're almost there, right ladies?! (Haha please tell me we are!)

 

It's so hard, I've had the same since around 30 weeks and unfortunately it's just got WORSE
Now at nearly 37 weeks I still can't see the light at the end of the tunnel. I literally can hardly walk!
I hope it doesn't get any worse for you x

 

Hi all! I am almost 32 weeks and still at work, I find sitting down at the computer so uncomfortable because my belly hits the table and I can't get my keyboard and mouse close enough. Plus he is starting to become an acrobat and loves to punch me in the side at random times. The no sleeping, sore stomach and the feeling that my cervix is about to drop to my feet is sooo lovely! Does anyone have any good coping mechanisms?

But in saying that.. I love every second of this pain and uncomfortableness because we get to meet our little man in 8 weeks!

 

As far as SPD paling in comparison to labour, i'd have to disagree, id rather go through 12 hours of labour than 12 hours of my SPD. Its horrendous.

 

Earlier today I was sitting in bed with my cat and she was all cuddly and sweet then she suddenly became interested in something else and was about to jump off the bed. At the same time I tried to put one leg on the floor to get off the bed as well but I felt like my lower back was going to snap into two and even screamed really loud. I turned to my cat who was frozen and staring at me looking pretty alarmed. I feel so bad

 

I'm also SO uncomfortable :/ I am so ready to be done. I have three more weeks of work and by end of day I am miserable and sore and hobbling around like an old lady Trying to keep positive but don't know how much more I can stand! And the peeing thing is terrible...keeps me awake most nights bc I'm afraid ill pee the bed!
