3rd pregnancy
Hello lady's..... I'm 23 weeks with baby boy no.3 but Im feeling like its my 1st... I have spd, plus a strep b infection which I think is making me a little stressed.. I'm having trouble sleeping ..waking up in a panic, been signed off work now too. Plus hubby is not working. I'm having lower stomach cramps, which I'm guessing is growing pains .. back ache.and heartburn to boot.
This is my first pregnancy and I keep asking my husband, "how does anyone do this more than once on purpose???" I suspected I would be miserable, but man...my friends keep laughing at me as if to say "silly girl, you haven't even seen the worst of it yet! Wait til the labor hits!" (I'm 32 weeks). But yeah, this is it. One and done!
Number 3 kicked my butt too! Try getting a body pillow to sleep with. It helps. Sorry ur so uncomfortable but its so worth it!
My Dr. told me that in her experience the third is the most painful and uncomfortable pregnancy for most women. She told me to get a support belt for my belly to help with abdominal and back pain. I bought the babies r us one after reading reviews, just to have it, but even at 21 weeks I'm not big enough for it yet, so I can't give you personal experience.
It must be a third pregnancy thing bc baby number three is kicking my butt as well.
Hang in there! It will all be worth it when you hold your new baby in your arms!
I am on baby #3 at 10 weeks and this pregnancy is by far my worst already. I am sick 24/7...taking Zofran,helping a little. Not throwing up,but think I would feel better if I did. Belly already big:( feel fat...already at 10 weeks. My other kids are 4,3.
This is my third too and, I am soooo done. Told my hubby if this one had been first, the other two would not be here, lol. I have been sick as a dog the first 14 weeks, had a bad cough for a month n half which ended me up in LnD getting fluids for dehydration. Sitting in doc office right now becauase I started bleeding. So I am definately feeling your pains.
