I can't do this anymore.

[slavetothewage]

I am in absolute agony, my back is killing me, I have shooting pains in my pelvis and thanks to twisting my ankle after falling down the stairs I can barely walk.

Barely had any sleep in Weeks as can't get comfy, am being sick several times a day and now have acid reflux to enjoy as well.

I am so not cut out for this.
I just want to curl up somewhere and cry now.

Sorry for the rant just need to say this somewhere.

I am over the moon to be pregnant and feel do guilty that I clearly fail at this but I need to be done. Why can't my body just do what it's supposed to and go into labour.

I am 10 days overdue now and have tried every trick in the book. Baby isn't even engaged yet so it looks like I'm bring induced now.

Please someone tell me how you coped if you went overdue.

Ah, you poor thing. The only consolation is that you really haven't got long to go now.
I was overdue and ended up being induced.

I coped by having a baby - which interestingly is what you are about to do. Late pregnancy is absolutely shit. Been there done that, got the bloody baggy t shirt to prove it.

If you can't sleep don't sit and get upset, go on youtube and make yourself laugh (search for pranks) or do something which you enjoy.

It will be over soon. :)

Booked to be induced on Wednesday so keep telling myself it's just a few days. Feels like such a long time still.

How did you find the induction?

I'm terrified of it, can't help but think "what if there is a reason baby hasn't engaged" and worried I'm going to end up with loads of intervention.

Sorry your feeling so crappy Hun the last days are horrible especially when you go over, what got me through was kept telling myself just a couple more days and this will all be over an ill have a baby an feel great which I did I was on cloud 9 their on bursting with energy. I was induced with both mine but I had an epidural with both to as its brings on contractions stronger which will be more painful so went straight for an epi myself although it's all dependant on the individual so don't want to put you on edge

Have you read the poo thread - it may make you giggle yourself into labour.

I need to read the poo thread can you link to it?

OH MY GOD!!!!!! I swear I'm going to vomit with laughing....I couldn't read any more than 2 pages, I have a pain in my stomach from laughing! If it doesn't put you into labour slavetothewage it will certainly put you in a good mood.

Oh god, I'm another one desperate to evict baby (but shitting myself re birth) I've had to stop reading poo thread at page one as I'm crying too much!! Another 11 pages to go... Hilarious !!!

OMG! The poo thread is the funniest thing I have ever read.

My kids have just come over to find out what I was up too...I was a sobbing wreck!
It's the Dad doing the splits that killed me....and I'm still on page one!

Please know that you are not alone in feeling this way. Everyone feels terrible when they are overdue- it sucks. Do whatever you can to make this time just about bearable and try not to worry about what's to come. People have very different experiences of inductions- some are quick and easy. My main piece of advice would be to not feel bad if you feel you need an epidural, and don'tt get it too late. In the meantime take care and treat yourself in any way you can.

Thank you viola.

Now 12 days overdue so looks like I'll be going down the induction route.

Apparently it's quite rare to need induction with a third baby so must just be unlucky.
