Anyone else really low and tired and not sleeping at 38 weeks?

[Adair]

Trying to stop moaning but feel so low and irritable and TIRED. And horribly snappy to dh who is just getting on my nerves with everything. Not really sleeping (even when the kids actually DO). Just shattered and utterly terrified about the actual newborn coming (how will I do 3? HOW?).

And trying to settle dd into school for the first time so trying to get my head round her emotional and physcial needs - and ds is back at playgroup today so ditto. Am just overwhelmed - feel totally unprepared for a little baby to come in.

Should have a couple of hours to myself this morning - not sure what I should do with it to make myself feel better...
Thanks for letting me vent.

Moan away!
Going from 2 to 3 isn't as bad as 1 to 2, and after the first few weeks, you'll be fine!
I'd like some tips on sleeping though, in the last two weeks I've had one good nights sleep.
Luckily DH is being quite nice about being snapped at constantly!

Thank you! Hoping that will in fact be the case (found newborn + toddler easier than preg + toddler last time. And had better sleep. Fingers crossed.)

Am feeling better - had looooong walk to school, then playgroup, now home ON MY OWN with cup of tea and mars bar!

I am sleeping semi-upright cos of the heartburn and better without dh but with a dc (though not both!) next to me . We have a sofabed in ds's room and def playing musical beds at moment...

About to send apologetic email to very nice dh and get a few things done without overdoing it.

adair,

come visit the due late january thread in ante natal clubs.

we're all sleep deprived zombies on there at the moment!

if you have two hours to yourself this morning - go back to bed and sleep.

35 weeks with 3rd and feeling pretty much the same.

DH got the first hormonal shout at 4am this morning cos he was snoring (nothing unusual) Ive jsut had enough.

Ive been having stop/start labour since 32 weeks and my sickness seems to be back with avengance too.

I can barely move. But now tucked back up in bed because the house is empty. Although the second I got into bed the tightening started, im getting hurty pains in my flower and baby is swinging on my right ribs :(
