37 weeks feeling sorry for myself

Morning all
I'm exactly 37 weeks today and feeling rubbish. Instead of enjoying my maternity leave I suddenly seem to have developed morning sickness, a cold, huge swollen feet and non stop period pains. Anyone else feeling like this?
Think the morning sickness is the worst as I didn't have this at all early on in my pregnancy. Mind you I got no sleep last night thanks to constant period like pains.
Can anyone stop me from feeling sorry for myself?!

Hello,

I am 37 as well. Same as you really, feeling tired and sick again, even though I thought it would have passed by now.

One thing to note though is the period pains could be a sign of things starting. Keep an eye out!

Oh I never thought of that...I always assumed she'd be late as its my first. Better pack my hospital bag just in case

Hi,

I'm 37wks today too!

Been feeling a bit sick for a coulpe of days now and having period type ach/cramps but not propper contractions as yet. My pains seem to last quite a while and stay at the same 'level' iykwim.

Could be the start of things, this is how my other two labours started.

Fingers crossed and go and pack your baggs!

Hi, I'm 37 weeks too. I've also got sickness back from early pregnancy and all the food aversions - can't drink tea and only fancy Pot Noodle for lunch.

Being this pregnant is pants isn't it!

I've just walked to nursery with my my son and I feel like my bump is so low that the baby might drop out at any moment.

Hi, im 37 weeks tomorrow, not having any sickness in my whole pregnancy which i have been quite lucky with, but im starting to feel really fed up and crap. I just want the next 3 weeks to hurry up and pass.

havent been able to drink tea either throughout my whole pregnancy, which is crap cause i used to drink tea all the time!

Im feeling exactly the way you are peanutpie, i was walking around ikea yesterday and im feeling loads of pressure below, it really feels like the babycould drop out anytime!

Hi becausewecan,

Hope you are feeling ok, I know how you feel... crap, tired, can't sleep well...I couldn't help it.

I past 37wks, (I'm now over due) but your pain could be Braxton hicks- that means your labour might come sooner??

Get your hospital bag ready& good luck!!

I'm feeling loads better at the moment to be honest...still a bit sick but starting to enjoy my maternity leave. Lots of nice lunches with family and friends
My feet have gone down and the pains gone too. Now I feel like I might go on for weeks without any sign of labour!
