Anyone around 32wks fed up, impatient, uncomfortable??!

[SaraL77]

This is a kind of moan but also just a need to hear from others feeling the same!

I'm 32+1 with DC2 and so excited/impatient/scared about the impending birth- only 8 wks to go, or 7 according to due date (I get so confused with measuring it in weeks vs months)

I can't wait to eat pate,wine,runny eggs, more wine, can't wait to meet baby -boy or girl- another exciting surprise. I am getting really uncomfortable when sleeping/walking/doing anything- have back ache, bump ache, vulval varicose veins (tmi?) always tired, bump sticks out so far it feels like it needs it's very own support with wheels underneath it! Worried about DS's reaction to new baby (he's 20mths) and my mum's potential lack of help when I really need it in the first few weeks, but also really really excited!!! How do people cope with a toddler and a baby?!?!

anyone else like to share?

Yes! All I wanted to do was guzzle a bottle of Rose this weekend. I actually got quite depressed about it

Im 32 weeks aswell!

oh lol! just realised I answered your other post- well at least we can cheer eachother up- is this your first?

yeah, sigh, a dry Christmas, just isn't quite as 'merry'! I'm sure the baby will want a small glass of Baileys though ;-)

Am 31+3 (not that I'm counting the days!) with DC1. Feel exactly the same as you ladies... Keep thinking christmas will break the wait up a bit, but a sober one isn't going to be that festive!!

I'm 33+2 and finish work this week!!!! Yay!!!! Had to bring Mat Leave forward as just too knackered etc to cope any more, the piggin snow ain't helping. Had to park my car miles away from the office this morning and waddle along the icy pavements. Two more days and that's it I'm making like a polar bear and hibernating with my newbie till Spring ( Wonder if DD would be up for that?)

Re: Dry Christmas - I've bought a lovely bottle of chablis so I can have a nice glass of wine with my Christmas dinner, sod whatever anyone else is drinking. I'm having Christmas part 2 in January post baby, as I have Gestational diabetes so the festive season will be drink free, dancing free and nice food free. But hey it's only one Christmas and Number 2 will be my last so I shall indulge for years to come.

Hang on in there ladies, it's the last leg of the journey!!!

I'm a couple of weeks behind you but have reached that uncomfortable phase of pregnancy where a good night's sleep is but a memory!

Also fed up of hauling my enormous carcass through the cold and dark to get to work and coming home in the cold and dark (I don't drive). I hate it!!!

I have a 21 month old toddler who is very grumpy at being cooped up in the house now that it's winter and like Sara, I'm worried how he will react to the new baby as he's very clingy at the moment.

Oh, and yes, I'm looking forward to stuffing my face with pate once this is all over!

I'm somewhere around there (have lost track), due end of Jan with dc3 anyway.

Yes, am fed up. Feel self-consciously incapable and tired. Was awake from 2am on and off this morning (and the bloody dc slept through ), so like a zombie today. Both dc have colds so dd not at nursery - which is good because she is entertaining ds (like right now) but not good cos she is more moany and angsty than usual.

I do remember with ds that newborn + toddler was easier than preg + toddler... fingers crossed...

And tbh we KNOW it will all be worth it in the end (but yes, boo hoo, moan moan, grump grump).

Thank goodness it's not just me, I'm 31+4 and have had enough. I could not feel less like "me" if I tried.

I'm sick of my limited maternity clothes, seem to be getting bigger by the day, am not allowed to do anything on my own as friends and family are being protective, I'm tired, I'm hormonal, I have made the house a tip trying to do endless DIY before the baby arrives and I'm tired (did I mention that already?).

Oh, and I would like to eat a cold prawn cocktail, some lovely real cheese, a bloooooooody steak and I would like to drink at least one of the bottles of champagne which are taunting me from the wine rack - I was 30 in the summer and couldn't indulge :-(

I really don't think this pregnancy lark is fun. I assume having a newborn will be much more interesting...

Yes me too at 31+6 Nice to feel I'm not alone!

No sleep, exhausted... acid reflux is a royal pain in the wotsit, sick of the clothes and I can't bring myself to buy anything else... I want cheese that stinks and I'd love the odd glass of wine now.

Plus the continual worry that baby isn't moving as much as he should be I'm ready now to be honest!!

hello all, i am 34 weeks and feel the same. I am working full time; exhausted criss crossing London on the tube (though kind people always give me a seat) but most of all absolutely fed up of digestive/reflux/heartburn "issues". i've had them all through this pregnancy; and my diet is sooo limited. almost all carbs seem indigestible, so no cake, biscuits, bread, potato of any kind, crisps and all the other things i usually feast on. And i drink about half a bottle of Gaviscon a day.....We haven't prepared a single thing for the new arrival and i'm not as good a mum as I would like to be to my DS (3.5) who is at a very demanding stage and tries my patience when i'm tired. (how many times can he ask the question 'why?' in one day?! he sets a new record every day.)
oh yes, and i'm up about every hour in the night for the loo. hmmmm! and i'm always wearing the same skirt.

All I can say is ditto to all of the above. I'm 32 weeks with twins and have a DS 2.5.

Im 35 weeks. I am just starting to get fed up, I know the baby is coming soon, so now I want it now! Also, just starting to feel more immobile and cumbersome and getting mystery aches and pains and analysing every little twinge etc. etc.

Am also fed up of being fat, and I just know that over xmas I will find it impossible to control myself so will probably gain even more - I usually out on half a stone to a stone anyway and spend most of the year getting it off again - this year it will be ten times worse and I know with even the best intentions I'll end up stuffing my face. And I won't even be able to get pissed

And I'm fed up of work. I've agreed to work up til new year and I'm secretly hoping I'll go tino labour early so I don't have to... I'm fed up of waddling round the office and having to find something to wear each morning that still fits and that I haven't worn to death - but don't want to buy anything new for sucha short space of time... Rant , rant rant etc etc!

Glittery - I'm with you. I HATE work at the moment due to lack of sleep, sciatica, feeling like a whale plus everyone seems to still expect me to run round after them all. I'm 32 weeks pregnant for gawds sake - maybe it would be nice for someone to offer ME a cup of tea for a change?

A*seholes.

Was just thinking similar this morning as I struggled to get DDs 1 and 2 into their carseats because bump is getting so big. We only live a 3 minute walk from school but it's like an ice rink the entire way; DDs are only 3 and 2 and struggle to stay upright so have decided it's safer to drive.

DH is working 300 miles away; the next two months are going to be very long. And I have the added worry of whether he'll make it back for the birth. Woe is me....

Me too. I'm 33 weeks and so ready for the end of January to be here! But at the same time we're not at all ready for a new arrival. I'm so sick of maternity clothes, being breathless, feeling knackered and so much more.

Yes the sciatica! Everytime I'm out walking in the cold my butt muscle starts to really hurt! And I think I may be getting a bit of SPD, my fanny bone really hurts sometimes when I'm moving about. Is that what it feels like anyone?

I'm with you all! I'm 32+1 with first baby, and the last couple of weeks i've started to feel knackered and had enough!

I want WINE in vast amounts, plus oodles of runny brie- I think that the fact Xmas is around the corner hasn't helped these cravings. Also sick of my maternity clothes- even though they're actually quite nice i'd like to burn them!

My commute to work and back is starting to get really knackering (arseholes don't always offer seats ) but i'm lucky that I finish work on Friday so counting down the days... finding it hard to move around now and even getting up off the sofa takes massive amounts of effort! Also don't like trotting around in the snow and ice and so been pretty much housebound the last week or so!

Baby also has a habit of digging me in the ribs causing paaaaaaaaain...

...i'm SO ready!

me too! Am 33+2, I finally finish work on Christmas Eve.

I can't remember when I last had a good nights sleep, I hate walking on the ice as I'm scared of falling over, and I really want a smoked salmon sandwich and a good glass of red wine.

And, I have aches in places I really never wanted to get aches in.

Eh? You can have a smoked salmon sandwich, you can have runny eggs and medium rare steak? You can have the odd glass of wine ( 1-2 units, once or twice a week). You can have well-cooked prawns. And sushi from a reputable supplier ie. one where it has been frozen for 48 hours prior to serving
( which is what Uk restaurants like Yo Sushi all comply with)

Even Brie is ok, if it has been pasteurised.

Just wash your salads and no liver, pate, cod liver oil etc.

Yup, 31 weeks and totally fed up. The one thing that's driving me nuts is that I can't get comfortable - no matter how I sit, lie or stand, it feels like the baby is shoving my stomach into my throat and squashing my lungs! And it's still got another two months of growing to go!!!

Stop moaning you lot! Be thankful you're carrying and nurturing a baby when there are so many who can't....

The fact that I'm only 25 wks with no 4, and fed up already, with the bottom the size of England, a constant backache, desperately want a bit of wine at Christmas, fed up with bending over and picking up things after everyone else, constantly tired, hormonal, etc is, er, beside the point.....

Miffster - I AM already having 1-2 units twice a week, but that is NOT enough for my liking now the nausea has passed . Want to BF too. When will I be able to start expressing adequately so that I can take enough time off to get properly pissed? And yes I know it is not very responsible to be drunk/hungover as a new mum, but just can't wait to down a whole bottle like Roxy... Yes we definitely like our vino us Roxannes...

33 weeks here, with twin giants. I can't begin to describe how grumpy I am.

Glad its not just me (31+4 here)! Ive been enjoying this pregnancy up til this week but now I just feel shattered, nauseous and Christmas which I normally love just seems like a lot more hard work.
I am not sleeping well due to the cold and need to sort myself out basically!

Yes yes yes! I reeeally want it to be over now. I don't understand people who enjoy their pregnancies - what's there to like!? I keep 'rounding' my EDD (am only 31 weeks, but have been telling people I'm 33) in the vain hope that it'll make things move faster!

I only have a few more days at work so hopefully will feel more positive about it once I have some spare time, but at the moment I can't imagine doing this again. And research shows that only children are actually very well balanced! :)

I love being pregnant, and being my last , 40 years old and on no 3 making the most of those joys ...BUT...
the thing about this pregnancy business when it's so cold is being trussed up like a turkey when you're already the size of a house...coats that don't meet in the middle, lots of layers, hats, gloves, that along with the special "crutch strap" for the vulval veins ( sorry TMI I'm sure!!!) the compression tights for the varicose veins and pregnancy jeans that I just can't get to stay up. SO uncomfortable.
Hibernation is the only option, putting on PJ's and fluffy socks by 4.30 in the afternoon is absolute bliss!!!
