I'm 37 weeks, I'm exhausted. I can't get comfortable anywhere. My pelvis hurts if I have to walk further than about 3 yards or if I have to move after sitting still for a while. I can't concentrate on anything, my fingers are aching like a bastard. My feet are stolen and aching constantly. Every time I stand up I feel like the bottom of my bump is going to fall off. I'm constantly sweating, i feel sick if I eat and starving if I don't. I just want to sleep until the next 2 weeks are over. Basically I'm over this! Feel free to add your own complaints!

I feel you. I hated being pregnant. I also didn't finish work till 38 weeks which was a massive mistake!
Your baby will be here soonish. Rest up

I'll join in. I'm 39+5 and no signs of anything at all happening. Baby was measuring at almost 9lb last week so likely to be a giant (not helped by me going overdue which is likely as not a sniff if anything happening)
I've had very loose stools bordering on diarrhoea for the last two weeks (literally going like 6 times a day) which makes leaving the house or having a social life very difficult
Everyone in my NCT group has already given birth (most were early) lucky sods
After getting away with no stretch marks (religiously moisturising 3 times a day) three appeared underneath my bump this week 
The constant phone calls text messages etc asking have you given birth yet have gotten on my last nerve I'm now (very rudely) just ignoring everyone
It takes me a gazillion years to walk anywhere because of the pressure/pain in my pelvis so I spend all day laying on the sofa at the mo which is unlikely to get anything moving
Had a meltdown with DH today and been crying on and off all day for no discernible reason (apart from a general sense of "fedupness"
So much more I could moan about but I'll stop there for now

41&4days and absolutely worn down physically and emotionally currently reluctantly getting ready to have my third sweep. But I've already given up on going into labor myself, its started and stopped consistently. Its like my body has lied and lied and lied again and now i just cant trust anything its telling me. I also had SPD, swollen everything, heartburn indigestion, constipation then diarrhoea and lower back pain that never goes away. Ive been really positive the whole pregnancy thinking everything will be fine cause as every midwife tells you "your body knows what to do, trust your body" well no mine doesnt ffs. Anyway will be induced tomorrow and when she's here I'm sure all of these feelings will just disappear but atm god help anyone who pee's me off!!!
SORRY really needed that.
Hope all you guys don't go overdue and have easy relaxing births

39 weeks here. How come no one has mentioned piles Have you all managed to avoid that torture or just too polite? Two have appeared overnight even tho I've not been constipated and have eaten tonnes of fruit! might as well have stuffed my self with junk food
Am adding carpal tunnel to the list too. I've heard there is a heatwave on the way next week so that's something else to look forward too

I'm still pregnant! The other night was a false alarm.
Still bloody here. Ive cleaned the entire house top to bottom every day for the last 3 days and nothing.
Ive no washing or ironing left to do.
I actually went to my mums and took some of her ironing i was that bored
And if one more person says 'relax cause you'll be so busy in a week or two' I swear I'll punch them in the throat.
DD is on summer holidays and is getting a bit bored in the house but DH doesn't like us going too far "in case something happens". So he offers to come too & we arent used to spending so much time together so hes doing my head in!!

Can I join?
37+2, pretty much the same as you OP but I'm stuck spending the first week of my maternity leave at my mum's house so decorators can come and go while she's at work. I'm in so much pain with SPD and struggling to even walk the few steps to the kitchen without my crutches. Don't even get me started on the stairs! I'm also just struggling to do anything for myself because of the pain.
I just want to go home where I've got my own double squishy bed and all the rooms are on the same level
and 
for everyone.

Picklebot, I feel for you! I'm only 31 weeks but can already identify with feeling like the bottom of my bump is going to fall off when I walk! Hope you have a smooth delivery.

jollyjester would you like to come round and do some cleaning here
Sorry to hear it was a false alarm unless things have changed in the interim?! (Anyone getting tired of constantly being asked if baby is here yet?)
WellErrr my hospital bag is barely packed , at this rate I'm coming out of hospital wrapped in a towel only!
