I am 37 weeks pregnant, and we are currently having major plumbing issues. What started out as a partial clog in our main line has become a complete clog. We have had 4 plumbers come to our home, the first 3 did nothing and the 4th completely made it worse. He flooded our garage in poo water and somehow managed to worsen the clog. Today we have a 5th plumber coming to hopefully unclog the line and then a 6th to scope our pipes,as they apparently have roots growing.

It’s so stressful. I can’t use any plumbing. I can’t shower. I can’t do dishes or laundry. I can’t wash my hands or brush my teeth. The only water we can use is from the fridge, because even the tiniest bit of water down the drain causes the toilets and showers to overflow. Sigh. We had to remove the toilet last night, and I was afraid of inhaling sewage gas (not sure if you can do that from a removed toilet, but still), and so I slept on the couch.

Not to mention baby is due in less than 3 weeks and our house is still in shambles from renovations. Not one piece of baby furniture is assembled and not one piece of clothing washed. I just pray the plumber who comes today can fix it. 😩
