anything i can do to try and make this go faster?

Ok firstly I am 30+2...and I will be honest..I dislike being pregnant very much. I know there's people on here who could only wish to be pregnant and have miscarriages..and I deeply apologise if you read this. Basically I'm fed up and time is dragging now! It was going quick but I just want him to be born and hold him. 9 weeks feels like a lifetime..I feel so envious of people who are further along then me..that's bad.right? I have been having so many aches and pains its unreal. Doctors recommended acupuncture, I've had bleeding this week and been in hospital. All ok now. But the pains are making me really depressed. NEED something to kill the time to 38 weeks when I can start eating pineapples galore and currys and basically the eviction process ;) any advice would be GREAT!

Nothing you can do.

Babies come when they're ready.

No amount of pineapple, curry, long walks, sex, raspberry leaf tea or anything else you can do yourself will bring on labour. If these things worked there'd be no need for pharmacological induction of labour in hospital - sorry.

Best thing you can do is relax, and wait for the hormonal exchange between you and baby that is needed to start labour to take place.

Totally agree with you about pregnancy sucking. Can't wait till the little bundles here and the amnesia kicks in. :) I'm going to aqua natal on a Tuesday after work, it's an hour of light aerobics and 45 minutes relaxation. and am still working full time so tired. Edd is first week in April and it can't come quick enough though only 4 more weeks of work.

Flisspaps it's not to do with starting labour as we are to early. It's about filling the time till we get there. We're just lacking imagination coming up with ways to forget the time. October we had Halloween, November bonfire night, December Christmas, January new years. February can't think of anything except pancakes and they don't take long to organize.

The nothingness is the good bit. Trust me, you'll not get the chance to be indulgently bored off your tits for AGES once baby arrives

And doing all that stuff post 38 weeks is pointless (got to 42+2 first time round, expecting to break that record this time round - am 33+2 now, only 9 weeks to go )

Well I have DS1 who is 3 in may, so he does take my mind off it a bit. But not a great deal anymore, especially as he's getting impatient to! Keeps asking when babies coming home!

Knit booties?

Ive been quite the opposite to this, time is flying so unbelievably quickly, it feels like ive blinked and woken up in the third trimester! :)

Make a list of stuff you want to do or achieve before baby is here. Definitely kept me sane. My list was split into things to do for me, baby, the house. So boring stuff like deep cleaning the kitchen/bathroom & keeping on top of that was on the house list. Batch cook make lots of cakes to freeze means I have a freezer full of goodies. Wash all the babies clothes. Then stuff for me was things like go swimming x times a week. Visit my fave tea shop for brew n a cake with dh at least once. Get my hair cut n coloured. Get a pedicure. Have a final clothes shopping spree. Spend 1 day sat on my ass playing xbox/watching tv

I guess I'm lucky in that I don't have any other kids to contend with but it's kept me busy
