tiredness

[claire87]

hey all...i am almost 38 weeks...and all off a sudden i have extreme tiredness...some people have said this means the baby is getting ready to come...meaning pre-labour...do any of yous know if this is true or not? xxx

I think its probably your body getting tired. It's just done this huge amazing thing - creating a baby, and now its just finishing off making sure all is ok, swell as feeding you both and keeping you both healthy.

Your body also has all this extra weight to carry around whilst you carry on your normal day. But on top of your normal daily work load, you are preparing for the baby. You are thinking about it all the time and probably not sleeping like you would like too....

No wonder you are tired! After 9 months of creating a new life, you have every right to feel tired.

However, use this as a sign to slow down and rest up. You need to conserve the energy you do have for the arrival of your little bean.

Good luck, I hope it all goes well! :)
