Am I getting close?

I may just be stressing a bit, am hoping someone has experienced this or something similar and can advise me on what happened to them. I'm currently 35 weeks, yesterday I did a bit more than normal but not a lot (lots of housework then went out for the evening to a house party, but was home by 9pm). About 10pm I got ridiculously tired and achey, but not sleepy. Dh gave me a back massage and foot massage to try and ease the aches and it did work a bit. I've woken up this morning having had the best nights sleep I've had in a long time last night - mainly because I only woke up once to go the toilet, usually it's about 3 or 4 times a night! This morning I'm really restless, and aching all over. I feel like I want to be doing loads, but everything is too much of an effort, I feel like I should have something to eat or drink but each time I've got something I've not wanted it. The only thing I can think of is hormones doing crazy stuff, there's no reason I should be this tired and achey from yesterday, I've got no logical reason why I'm wanting to do loads around the house unless it's nesting or something, I'm not usually keen to do anything like housework I just do it when I have got to! Sorry this is so long, I just can't really explain it very well! Do you think this means I've not got long til baby decides he's ready to arrive?

Hi Rockchick it's hard to say! I would just listen to your body and rest a bit. I had the frantic nesting thing at 35 weeks and then felt knackered afterwards. If you are tired, rest. What a lovely DH you have giving you a massage.

I am now 37 weeks and wondering if the baby might be thinking about making a move into the world as I am having niggles - so it could be a couple of weeks??
