Feeling rough...

[Noor~ul~Usman]

Okay ladies, advise me, how long am I going to feel this crappy?

I was kept up for most of last night with mild to medium period pains on and off since about 9pm-3am, back ache and also had strong braxton hicks (some mildy painful and others not at all) for about an hour solid around 1.30am-2.30am. Bumpy was really wriggly for the most part and I'm sure he was trying to partially engage again because he was pushing down and I could feel him quite low in my pelvis.

I woke up about 5am to go to the loo and I was very sore in my pelvic area and a tender tummy.

I've finally got up about 10am after a good 5hr or so sleep but I actually feel completely drained! I feel so weak and my eyes are dry and I'm a wee bit dehydrated (gona get a drink now!).
I still have a very tender tummy and some lower back and pelivc aching. Every now and then get I get a shooting pain in my pelvis.
Bumpy is still fairly active but not pushing down any harder/lower, just fidgetting

.......how long does all this normally last before you get the real thing?

Are we talking a few weeks or closer to a month?? I really don't think I could handle that!
I know I'm optomistic expecting it to lead to anything sooner

Most of my nights are like this to be honest and im only just about 28 weeks, im struggling to cope on such little sleep and braxton hicks.
I can only suggest to try to rest as much as you can during the day when you can
I hope you feel better soon

Ditto, sorry to be a doom sayer but that has basically been tri 3 for me

Being friggin uncomfy all the time is so exhausting try and rest as much as poss and succumb to the fact this is it til LO is out, Im just on the cusp of getting desperate now but find striking a balance between keeping as active as possible (swimming is my fave at the moment) and sleeping when my body needs it...oh and a good old moan on here is a life saver.

I keep thinking how lush it is going to be once this LO is out and I can actually be able to get comfy!!!!
