Anyone else getting really fed up? I'm 38 weeks and 4 days with my first. I feel like i've ages of time left especially if baby is late. I understand they come when they're ready but everyday i pray she comes just want to see her and hold her so badly! Plus really done with pregnancy now especially in this heat it's really no fun. I'm bored now of trying to find things to do i know i should make the most of this precious free time because life with soon be very busy but i'm just so impatient it's like waiting for christmas when you're a child lol. Anyone else wanna keep me company during their last few weeks we can moan cry and whoop together.

Hi Buckler I am 38 weeks today with third child and still feel like I am going to be overdue like my others. Really wish these two weeks would fly by lol.... I'm also having a girl. Got 2 boys so it will be so different to have a baby girl.

I am 37 weeks 6 days, really fed up because my last two were born by now!. I am being induced on due date so it can only be a certain amount of time but 4th aug seems decades away! plus I reallllyyy want her to come before that on her own to avoid the indcution. At the moment all I am doing is grumping at people and looking out for signs of something happening (there are none so far )

Hi fernie with u being early with your last ones is that why you can have induction on due date? I had high bp last time but low this time do u think they may induce me on them grounds that it may go high again?

hi my last two I had preeclampsia and so was induced early. This time I am on medication for high blood pressure but so far no preeclampsia, so they said if I get to 40 weeks induce as it may be mroe likely to happen after 40 weeks (got it at 41 weeks with my first)

I'm 37+6 too, and as ready as I'll ever be! I am dreading the sleepless nights but figure as I'm up and down for the loo anyway and having disturbed sleep from the heat, I might as well add a baby into the mix!

I was induced about 6 days early with DS1 so no idea if I'll be early or late this time.

Definitely keen to pop sooner rather than later.

know what you mean about the sleepless nights 5dollar but at least they'll be something to see, i am constantly up and down to the toilet and then when i settle my legs start aching it's all fun hey. How are you all coping with little ones? I'm bad enough only having myself and husband to look after. Has everyone got everything ready? I think i am probably packed far too much in hospital bag though.
