I will pay very good money for anyone willing....

to cut this child out of me. I am 35 weeks, and in despair at the thought of having to live another 5 weeks like this. my hips ache constantly so sleeping is unbearable, i wake constantly through the night at the slightest thing anyway, last night my oh's hand slipt from his side of the bed onto my side, i nearly killed him .

it constantly kicks me in the ribs (hates me obviously), has constant hiccups so i feel im developing a twitch cos they seem to hurt and are non stop, ive been to asda twice this morning both times for spaghetti and tomato puree, both times left without so now i have to go back again in a bit. Im so tired, i sleep in the day and am awake most of the night waiting to get up, except i cant get up without the help of oh to pull me up, im literally crying this cos i feel so sorry for myself, i do realise im pregnant not dying but sometimes i wonder....

my dvd player is broke and only have crap digibox and my 2 cats who have somehow trapped me in my own bed for company. ive already ordered 2 catalogues and some wallpaper samples, what for i have no idea just to pass the time, and i just know these next 5 weeks will drag......... sorry to moan but i think ive paid enough for whatever ive done to deserve all this, time to start the process of evicting this child i think!

And im also starting to think eamon holmes is ok on the tv so i know im sleep deprived and have had my brain taken over by this child. (i couldnt stand to look at the man until i was infected with my oh's seed).

sorry in a really down and moany mood today incase you havent guessed!

I am 34 weeks and feel the same plus working for another 3 weeks. My whole body hurts and sleeping is becoming so hard as I wake up so often. Had yesterday at home and literally slept all day which revived me a little. Guess we just have to keep counting off the days!

l generally dont sleep well lm 34 weeks,but last night l put my v shaped pillow behind me rather than under my bump and between my legs,so it pushed me forward and l put both my feet on the bottom of the pillow and l slept till just before 10 am,l have never felt better than l do right now.l bet its a one off l bet l will wake up three times to night to pay for my good sleep.

just to go with the moaning though l dont think men have any kind of clue what we are going through,lm in abit of a crying stage about everything but yet he refuses to pick the cushions up, l cant bend down,next time he does it lm putting them in the bin!!!!

I cant even imagine trying to still get up for work the way i feel right now, so i feel even more sorry for you, all im doing is sleeping and trying to paint a our living room in between watching crap tv but its just so not happening.

ive been counting down the days since i was 20 weeks and diagnosed with spd .

I'm also desperately hoping to evict this baby - I've given it until 37 weeks and then it has to get out! Fixating on the baby arriving at 37 rather than 40 weeks does seem to help make it more bearable for now, but like you I've really had enough and if 37 weeks comes and goes with no appearance I can imagine myself getting very very fedup.

My main complaint is dealing with vulval varicose veins, it started around 23 weeks and causes me a lot of pain whenever I'm standing for too long/walking about or generally being active. Since I have an active job which I work at 6 days a week, often 7-5pm shifts this doesn't bode well, I quite often end up in a lot of pain but keep having to work through because we need the money and I'm not scheduled to leave until 39 weeks (only another 5weeks to go!). There's also so many bits around the house to do that I don't do because I'm too in pain or exhausted and it's really getting to me - I need to do stuff, I can't be sat around on a computer! End up just getting annoyed with myself most of the time because in my head I should still be able to do exactly everything I was able to do before getting pregnant, but I can't or won't. I've even taken to sitting on a stool when washing up or cooking dinner! Pffft.

All that is to say, no worries for the moaning - gave me an excellent opportunity to have a moan myself and I think we all need that from time to time. Let's hope these babies come soon and don't keep us waiting around for too long!

Id like to think of evicting this baby in 2 weeks time when ill be 37, but secretly am terrified as we havent even bought a moses basket yet, we have a cot bed, no mattress, the list of things we still need is beyond a joke, were actually having our flooring fitted downstairs tomorrow so that has cheered me up a bit, then i come upstairs and nothing has been touched since we moved in a few months ago so fills me with despair again

to top it off i now have restless legs, desperate to sleep and im sure 3 new stretch marks have appeared in the last 2 hours when i last looked. I cant wait till this child is older so i can ban it from all the fun things as revenge for making me feel so crap. think thats whats getting me through the next few weeks!

have you tried yoga? it helps me loads with feeling better in my body... it seems that the less you move, the less painful it is, but actually, yoga is a very good activity to stop making you feel like you are 60 years old!

Poor you, sounds like you are going through it, there is lots folk can say "Ah, it will be over soon" - "Not long to go now" blah blah, but there is very little that will actually make you feel better - so i have no advise - sorry:( I have been going to reflexology to try and get this out of me. I have tried everything AGAIN (tried everything with 1st to, nothing worked). LAst night I had a madras curry, followed by loads pineapple, DH rubbed accupressure pressure points, I drank diet shweppes tonic water, then had raspberry leaf tea, followed by hot clary sage bath, followed by rubbing clary sage oil into me!!! Still here, not a bloody twinge - so if you are tempted to try some of these crap old wives tales to get things going and evict the baby, dont' be surprised if nothing happens. The body is designed to hang on, and hang on it will, whatever you do. I'm going to have to be induced next tues:( I have been trying everything for weeks now with 100% commitment:( - and if anyone says "Oh, this worked for me, oh, that worked for me" NO IT DIDN'T - IT WAS COINCIDENCE. I feel your pain and frustration - it's a nightmare. The only thing that cheers me up is Home and Away!!! Since being P I am obsessed:) Far better than Eamon Holmes I would say - can't really see him emerging from the sea, surfboard in hand (oooh, there's a thought). Good luck, hope you manage to limp through the next few weeks x

You have my sympathies. I'm 34+4 with SPD and not finishing work for another 3 weeks. Every day gets harder and I am dead on my feet by the time I get home in the evening. I've had terrible insomnia for pretty much the whole pregnancy just to add insult to injury.

Really need to get the baby's room ready and buy furniture etc but I'm so tired and sore all the time that I'm making very little progress. At this rate baby will be sleeping in a drawer!

Belive it or not, it just slightly make me feel better to know that im not alone in going through all this horribleness. i spent an hour crying last night with restless legs, i can handle heartburn with milk and most other ailments but that it the 1 thing i cannot abide.

dp stood back and asked me if i wanted to dance, i nearly stabbed him with my fork, but he forced me to stand up and try slow dancing as someone in his work had mentioned it used to help his wife, and you know what it actually did, tired me out too, went to bed around 10, woke once and my hips werent hurting either so i stayed on the same side all night, then got up at 6 when the car decided to lick my face to get me to feed her .

i will try the yoga too, i used to go to ante natal pilates early on but had to stop when my spd became much worse, but it did ease it a little, i bought a dvd around the same time too thats still in its wrapper, definately dig that out to try, although nothing will make up for eviciting the child
