37 weeks pregnant and totally fed up now

I just have NO energy at all. I literally have to drag myself around, I cannot be arsed to do anything...
making the bed, walking up the stairs, doing my hair, loading the washing machine, looking after my toddler etc etc it's all so hard !!
I am humongous at this point, just moving around leaves me out of breath. I'm dizzy alot of the time which makes it all so much harder to function because I feel pissed up!
This is my second pregnancy in less than two years, so I think that contributes to how much less energy I have this time.
I just want my baby here now.
Sorry I just needed to get that off my chest, I'm sure dh thinks all I do is moan.
That's another thing, I could punch him alot of the time... and I know it's me he's not doing anything wrong, I'm just not a very nice person atm !!

Is anyone else in the same boat ? Or knows what it's like ? Tell me I'm not a shitty person !

I think your body is telling you to take a rest...dont punch me Grin

The last month of prey has approximately 941 days in it!

Just today I was thinking of the last few days of pregnancy with DD. I had a.minor issue and had to be checked out and oh how I wished they had said yep have an induction today. I was just done. Totally and utterly done. I went another 5 days.

Hope baby arrives soon and DH just treat you like a goddess/queen allowing you to rest.

Completely forgot I started this thread, how rude of me !!
Well I'm still fed up 😂 had to go into hospital this morning as I felt babies movements have changed the last few days, the ctg met the criteria but I wasn't happy with movements to be honest so I have a scan tomorrow now.
While there I could hear doctors talking to other ladies about inductions being booked for the next week and I was a little jealous, I just want to meet my baby now ! This is definitely the longest part of pregnancy...
The pressure on my pubic bone is awful too, it literally feels like it could split in half Blush

Dh had annoyed me a bit, when I got home he made a snarky remark about how he's had two cups of teas, apparently it's quite boring looking after two kids !!

Could you ask for a sweep? I was so fed up with my first at 37 weeks and so exhausted I think the doctor felt sorry for me and he offered me a sweep when I went in for reduced movements.

With my second I was in tears by 32 weeks willing it out of me. In a weird turn of event I ended up with a section at 33 weeks.

MeinKraft · 30/01/2024 15:35

Oh well @vacay he won't be bored for long as life is about to get a lot more interesting

How come you ended up having baby at 33 if you don't mind me asking ?

And no because I'm booked in for a section in two weeks! I've just got to be abit more patient but it's so hard isn't it at this point... everything is a mission !!

Oh isn't it just !
I did say well we shall see how easy and boring life is when I'm recovering from the section and you have to do pretty much everything 😆 I'm sure he won't be bored then as you say !

Oh you have section scheduled I see. But on the bright side doesn’t it help to have a countdown 🙈 if it makes you feel better I stopped making my bed with my first at 37 weeks and hired a cleaner for our then one bedroom apartment 😂 peak laziness for me!

I had my second at 33 weeks because he wasn’t moving!

It's absolutely none of your business and OPs right to a c section.

No, sadly not. All mine ended in miscarriages. I would have loved to have your problems.

I'm genuinely sorry for your losses, I know how soul destroying they are.

But please don't make other women feel bad for having a rant about being fed up at the end of pregnancy. Comments like this make pregnant women feel like they can never moan or express any negative feelings.

At one point all I ever wanted was to moan about feeling very pregnant, and I was lucky enough after years and years of trying, losses and IVF to get there. But the struggles I went through before that didn't take away how hard it actually was at the end of pregnancy.

On another point, to the poster questioning OP about the section, what the hell has it got to do with you? It's OPs right to have a csection. Who are you to probe? It could be under consultant instruction to have a section. Nothing to do with you whatsoever.

I'm very sorry for your losses.
I have also had a loss myself after ivf treatment, I was infertile for nearly a decade before I fell pregnant with my toddler out of the blue, and then 8 months after their birth I fell pregnant again naturally. So my babies are my miracles. I can still complain though, it's been a long two years for me !

It was recommended by my consultant because I fell pregnant 8 months post c section, so risk of rupture with natural labour. Not that it's anyone's business

Oh @vacay I feel the same but only 29 weeks 😂

Not long for you now though! It's 2nd time round for me but with a 5 year age gap so I think that's had an impact on my energy levels - can't blame my son he is at school 5 days a week!

Ahh, 29 weeks though and your body is really starting to feel it at this point onwards.
I was the same with my second, 8 year age gap who was at school ! All I did was sleep... no such luck this time though it's killing me !
Husband can be very sympathetic but then other times I can tell he's rolling his eyes at me, just do wish they could carry an actual human around all day everyday and see what it's like !

I could have written your first few paragraphs, but am 54 and menopausal 😂 Poor us, life at the whim of our bodies.
Take care lovely, you're so nearly there. Xxx
