Hi all, I feel a bit of a fraud for joining up as am neither a Mum nor pregnant. However my little sister is expecting her first child, a little boy, at 31. She's 33 weeks on Saturday and totally fed up with it. I'm at a loss of what to say and our mum passed away in 2008 so she can't get the benefit of experienced advice from the family. Add to that that her friends with kids seem to all have (at least claimed to) love the experience from start to finish and she's feeling quite low. She's essentially feeling very impatient, uncomfortable and tired and she can't wait to have her baby here and her body (mostly) back. I also think that she's not quite accepted this is really happening, she miscarried early last year and had quite a serious scare early on with the current pregnancy. She's very strong but often just pushes her feelings down when she's anxious. As such, I'm worried she won't let herself get excited and so she's enduring all the bad stuff without any of the good. Ultimately, there's nothing she can do but wait but did any of you feel this way and do you have any tips for getting through this phase?
