I am 37 weeks pregnant with 2 other DCs under 5. Had been feeling OK and working until last week but it's all getting to me now.

So called best friend hasn't asked me once about the pregnancy or how I feel.
My mum (who lives 6 hours away) hasn't called me all week as she is so busy with work. She normally calls me on a Saturday morning but nothing, so I called and she was having lunch in a restaurant on her own (which she is perfectly entitled to do BTW).
My ILs who leave in another country have just left 3 weeks or so before the birth and gone back home even though they are retired and have no particular reasons to have scheduled their return 3 weeks before the birth of their grandchild.
DH works hard so I feel I can't really download all my pains and frustrations on him.
I know this is totally self-pitying but I feel tired, lonely and down.

Everybody is so nice when you're expecting your first, but it seems that nobody really cares when it's your third. OK, I have been pregnant quite a lot in the past 5 years, but still...
Glittercheeks I am VERY aware that things might well be worse this summer when I sleep even less and the kids are off Playschool.

My point was it might be better not worse when you are no longer pregnant.

I should try and be optimistic but DCs didn't sleep for at least 10 months so not sure. I find that my patience goes when I am tired and it's just a vicious circle. I have to be more positive!
