38 weeks, Really, really, restless!

[chaoskay]

This is driving me barmy, if I try and sit still I just cannot, I just feel sooo fidgety. It's wierd I feel like I need to stretch all the time, or stand up and pace around the room. I honestly feel like I'm gritting my teeth all the time too, how odd is that?!

I've heard of restless leg syndrome, but I appear to have a restless person syndrome going on here.

It's not even nesting, it's just being totally unable to relax. Dunno how I"ll sleep tonight!

Has anyone else had this? It's normal to be impatient I think, but this feels beyond even that. Arrggh!

I'm 38wks too! I hurt when I stand or walk- achey thighs,pelvis, hips etc and have restless legs when I sit down. Can't sleep most nights ATM!

Me to. Boo Whooo...I dread going to bed, its so painful

Oh, I loved being pregnant! Not long now, ladies. Are you all expecting your first babies?
TRY and relax and think positive thoughts. Funny, easy going books, films, meeting up with friends will keep you busy and they're things you may not be able to do for a while. I also helped myself through the last few weeks by thinking of events in the not too distant future and how old my baby would be - ie, such and such's wedding, baby will be 3 months old.
My babies were 10 and 11 days late, respectively...

Second baby. I wish I could relax as you have suggested. OH has had a sinus operation so has to be taken care of at home for a week (he's coming round a bit now thank goodness) and I have a three year old with a horrendous sick bug so I have been best mates with my washing machine recently.

I just hope OH does not get sick bug, could be reeeally bad considering his op. Will just have to see how it goes!

It will all be worth it in the end! (I just might go crackers in the mean time, lol!)
