just a good old moaning thread...at the point now i feel ready for it all to be over!

[confuzed90]

Basically, I'm 35 weeks pregnant. And have been having bad braxton hicks for weeks, sharp pains down there, lower AND upper back ache. Pain in ribs. Feeling quite headachy today but could be from my super strong sense of fatigue I have today..I just want to sleep!!! But then again deep down I really want to clean, and even gloss, the wanting to do that it there its just the motivation I need. I also feel guilty for my DS,toddler, doesn't have a nap and is very demanding, I keep shouting at him, and snapping. I just wish hed go to sleep for an hour so I can.I know its early but I am feeling so fed up and ready for the baby to come. I just want to feel my 'normal' self again. I do keep getting symptoms of pre-labour. And sometimes ill be contracting regularly for hours but its never intensifying or becoming closer.I just needed to complain.and maybe some motivation to get my arse into gear and do everything I want to do?

Hi confuzed90 I am half a week behind you and I know exactly how you feel. I am beyond tired and the BH are really awful along with the heartburn and headaches. I was told to expect an early baby last week when we ended up in delivery as bump had dropped and I was getting contractions, No it was baby moving and stretching things and making everything stretch.

Rest when you can and ignore the urge to clean and gloss you need the energy.

I went to the doctors the other day and things 'down there' are getting ready, cervix soft, 1cm dilated and is effacing. Told me between 2-3weeks left by her estimation. But I feel like I can't cope anymore.I feel so fed up and down. My toddler is 3 in 2 months so his challenging behaviour isn't making it easy.fair enough, he is the most well behaved/polite 3 year old I know but I can't help but feel stressed with him. I feel absolutely worn out! an average of another 5 weeks like this just makes me want to cry. I'm in agony all the time and no sympathy from my partner!

Hi ladies I'm 34+4 and thoroughly fed up with pregnancy this is dc6 and I'm truly sick of it . I'm having bh, pressure everytime I sit down and every single thing I eat is giving me heartburn so bad I feel like crying . Oh yeah and I can't sleep for more than an hour without needing to wee . My dh thinks I should be used to pregnancy ailments after to doing so many times. I think I actually forget how crap i feel when I'm pregnant.
People keep telling me I'll be early because of all the bh and discomfort but as I know only too well that they'll come when they want . Ive had a mix of early and late deliveries. Anyway sorry for the rant . Hope you feel better , well as good as can be expected

I dont want to disapoint you but dont get too excited about going early. I was told a lot of what you have by midwife at 35 weeks eg ooh I cant believe how low you are! etc when feeling my tummy. I have had braxton hicks, leg cramps, loss of plug over a few weeks etc but I am still here at nearly 39 weeks. I agree it is annoying.

Oh I do feel glad that what I'm feeling is completely normal then! My first seemed to be pain free and trouble free pregnancy, other then pre-eclampsia at 40 weeks. This ones being a right pain! Bleeding in particular. But a new thing for me is my rib pain! Especially past couple of days its waking me up and keeping me awake as I just can't get comfy! mammyemcb how on earth your on number 6 I will never know! I'm only on my second(although don't intend to have anymore...want to get steralised but too young!! :( ) I really don't enjoy pregnancy which makes me feel bad as some people can't get pregnant or really struggle.

I am 35+4 and I have been feeling awful too. No energy at all and very tired, been sick the past 2 days running with upset tummy .....oh deep joy !!! Baby is very low and 3/5 engaged according to consultant last week and BH have been pretty full on the last 4 days or so. Just to that I will throw in grumpy, incontinent, spotty, huge, uncomfortable, heartburn, swollen and generally hacked off lol
:(

35+0 here, also with a busy 2.6 year old. Am working till 10 tonight and am just about on my knees!

My feet feel like they could explode and I am so feckin tired.

Had a lot of BHs and queasiness last week but it has eased off a bit this week. I really need to get away form work, 8 working days left.....

DS is also a lovely wee guy but I just can't keep up with him this week! I am lucky he still naps for a couple of hours, hope he doesn't change his mind about that any time soon.

Sympathy for you all ladies :)

40 weeks tomorrow and wanting it over is an understatement, Ive been in tears the past 2 weeks with the pain of it all. Pelvis is soooo painful it takes an average of 10 mins to get into bed and a good 20 to get out again add that to braxtons that take my breath away, back pain, rib pain and a violent kicker of a child and I really can't take much more. Never again!

Hi ladies,

Nobody ever tells you pg was this hard. Although if they did I think we would still do it. Remember that very soon we will all have our little ones in our arms. xx

I agree lilpud NEVER again! Lol. And jaggythistle your exactly as long gone as me 35+0....25th april! Hold my hand? Lol. I'm not feeling that nervous actually, even now I know what's to come. I think I'm blocking it out of my mind! You counting down the days like me? Gets to saturday and I start saying nearly 36 weeks lol just make it seem a little closer.

I just feel much more pathetic than last time!

thanx! :) you first...infact no take that back me first me first! Lol
