Third trimester how are you all coping?!
Show your support
I feel you. I am at 31 weeks and I just don’t know how I’m going to stretch any further. I’m always uncomfortable, if I’m sat up things ache and if I lie down I get reflux. I’m tired and I take 2-3 tries to turn over at night and if I do it wrong I hurt. All I want to do is be left alone and eat smarties but I’m also having to work and I’m drained. I just cannot fathom doing this another 9 weeks!
Let’s just say the third trimester is definitely a humbling experience! I’ve been so much more achy and also struggling to get comfortable in bed - and as soon as I do, the heartburn kicks in. It’s really tough going, but I suppose all we can do is remember this is the final stretch and it will feel worth it once our babies are in our arms! Have you reached out to the doctor? I know omeprazole is safe to take in pregnancy and can be a real lifesaver for helping with GERD. Xx
Yes me!!! I haven’t slept for weeks 😂 no literally weeks. I can’t sleep and if I do it’s for 1 hour max. Heartburn is moving reckless nothing is helping. I’m very bloated and just uncomfortable. I do sip boiled kettle water and that usually helps the bloating 😝 Not long left now 🙏
Omeprazole has helped me with heartburn so far! The heartburn woke me up one night and stopped me from falling back to sleep.. I made a doctors apt first thing in the morning and got prescribed Omeprazole and it’s been so much better.. Can also still use the Gaviscon (I think) as a top up before bed if needed. Also, loadssss of water!! I find cold water helps me out a lot
It’s really worth getting some omeprazole from the doctors and a decent sleep pillow! I’m waking for about an hour between 3-4 but apart from that seem to be sleeping well x
Constantly feel full, tired and waking up a lot at night from aches too ♥️ hang in there! I can't stay still for very long so getting up and walking around for me has helped. Everyone got a bit of difference though!
Awh girly the final stretch!! It sounds stupid but even waking up with a newborn every hour/2 I felt like I was getting more sleep then the final weeks of pregnancy cause atleast I was comfy 😂 Drink your gaviscon, tiny often snacks and sadly I have no advice for the bowels but keep taking your laxatives! You’ll want them once baby is born!
