39 + 3 and want this baby out!!!

[Fooster]

Just wondering if there are any other women out there nearly due who are pulling their hair out waiting on baby to arrive!

I'm 39 + 3 and am so fed up with being pregnant now. I've been getting constant backache, like a period pain for the last few days, plus lots of pain in my lower abdomen, almost like sharp pains that take my breath away! I'm wishful thinking that things will start soon and all these are signs that labour is imminent! :) I hate getting up every day wondering if it'll happen today just to be disappointed! I know baby will come out when he/she is ready but I'm so impatient and its really getting me down. I'm so teary and fed up!

Oh, I've been trying all the old wives tales too!

Sorry if I sound like a moaner, but just needed to vent and see I'm not alone, hopefully!

You are not alone. I feel your frustration. 40 weeks today. Terrible night's sleep, cramps this morning, dare I hope? Nope. Nothing more since then. Mind you, I had similar cramps about a week ago, too... And I've lost some of my mucus plug since last week. But still nada. These babies, eh?! Fed up, fat and feeling like it might never happen. Gah.

I'm with you and i'm only 38.4 - i even tried sex the other day, that's how low i've gone to get this bay out ;)

Another one here! Am 39 + 1 with DC3 and just want to meet my baby. I'm having braxton hicks galore and loads of period type pains (strangely didn't have those with other DC).

I've also got a stinking cold and dreadful insomnia. Frankly with the quality of sleep I'm getting at the moment it will be a relief to have to get up to feed a baby rather than haul myself around in bed. I've thought of a great analogy for a full term pregnant tummy - like having a space hopper filled with sand strapped to the front of you!

It's funny isn't it how towards the end you relish the thought of that not so pain free experience that is labour having slightly dreaded it for weeks.

Bring on those contractions for us all!

I know exactly how you feel... 39 today and fed up. If one more person asks me if there has been any progress..... Can't wait to meet her first time to getting nervous and fed up! Good luck ladies hopefully not long for us all !

i too feel your pain (or lack of it!) girls! 38+5 with dc2. currently have my backside firmly perched on a ball due to op baby! starting to get sick of pineapple had also decided not to take rasperry leaf tea as previous emcs but from what i have been reading, may be ok! Anthing to speed things along here!

Thanks everyone! Glad I'm not alone. Still no progress here... sighs Hope our little one's all make an appearance soon!
