In pain and now totally deflated and ready for baby boy to be here!

So I am 38 weeks and 5 days today (2nd pregnancy) and I am booked in for a c section on Thursday as this baby is growing large. He was 8lb 13oz at 36 weeks (so almost 3 weeks ago). I have really struggled this week with my PGP, the pain is really server when turning at night, I am now struggling to walk and can only stand for a max of 10 minutes and I am done. When I get up in the night and I am turning I feel like my pubic bone now could pop it is so painful! My feet are so swollen and I am absolutely exhausted! I cried so much yesterday as nothing helps and I feel very annoyed I can’t do anything really. I was up at 5 and moved to the sofa and think I will be sofa bound for bedtime now. Anyone else get to this point. I am now starting to worry about how big he is almost 3 weeks on If everything will be okay with the pain I am now having in my pelvis (especially my pubic bone). I keep telling myself just 4 more days but that isn’t’t helping me at the moment because I am in that much pain and discomfort. Xx

Awww bless you 🥹 feeling the same too! The pain has gotten bad the last few weeks and baby is measuring 8lbs7 at 36 weeks so looking to be induced at 39 weeks so we’ll see. But it just feels like any wrong turn and I’m gonna pop 😂 everything hurts literally. Lower back, lower front, back of legs, feet 😂 when I get up my whole body just cracks! But you’ve got 4 days left and you can do this!! Maybe book a last minute massage? Or a pedicure to feel relaxed

I am sorry you are feeling like this too. I wouldn’t wish this on anyone. I am super excited to meet baby boy but this pain is overtaking my excitement. I am going to try and enjoy the lovely sunshine today, that really does make a difference for me. So ready for Thursday! I could have been induced at 38 weeks but with him already being almost 9lb at 36 weeks we looked at everything and decided to opt for the c section which wasn’t an easy decision for me. If they called today saying I could go in I would 100% go and get him out 🙈. Good luck with everything and I hope you manage to find some relief as do I. Xx

Oh no! I feel like that and wish they would deliver him now! It is so difficult and I get why they want the little ones to cook for a long as possible but it is hard when you are in pain! I was certain I would have gone into labour before now -and super shocked I haven’t. I don’t want to keep crying but sometimes it just needs to come out! I am trying to be chilled with my 6 year old but he is very clever and is at that age now where it is like 6 going on 16 and makes it so difficult at times. He can be such a great help but also challenging too. We got this just got to try and focus on the end goal! Our little one! ❤️❤️❤️

I'm the same, due on Tuesday but so hard to do anything with pain! I'm trying to treat it as I would if I had the flu and just rest up and ask my husband to do *literally* everything for me now he's off over the BH weekend. Even like - pass me my water from the table that's just out of my reach etc. all the childcare duties and so on 😅 I think he's looking forward to the c-section even more than I am now 🙈🤣

Similar to you I thought he would turn up early but I’ll be 39 weeks tomorrow and although he is so low I can barely walk now (I feel your pain I really do) he seems comfy and as if he’s not going anywhere! I’ve had days on and off where I’ve been able to walk a bit and felt lighter and the next I can barely move. You just have to do what your body allows and if right now it’s staying on the sofa then that’s what you need to do! The turning at night is the worst I wake my husband up from the clicks/grinds from my pelvis 😩

I am defo taking it easy. I am ready for some sleep but am expressing and breast feeding this time round but if I struggle will go to formula but want to give a go. Defo sofa for sleep now can,t cope with the tossing and turning in pain. So of the clicks I get seriously hurt and are really loud which makes me worry about his little head. Xx
