And at which week did you pack your hospital bag?

out of breath - you could be aneamic, so check with gp or midwife - have blood test if needed

word of advice the iron tablets that the gps prescribe are very strong, a lot of people get badly affected, not only constipated, but get cramps, headaches feel sick or dizzy.
so best to take Solgar gentle iron or Floradix liquid iron & vitamins

good idea to pack your bags now

Hiya Amazingmumof6. Six kids? you are amazing. Good point but recent blood test shows no problems with bloods and I eat loads of iron in my diet on purpose.

Did you have a lot of amniotic fluid? Feel full up and struggle a lot of the time?

Yep I'm really starting to feel it now (34+1) and I get easily out of breath and am quite tired. MW gave me some iron tablets which gave me horrendous heartburn - it was already pretty bad! Stopped taking them after a couple of days so might try the suggestions above as they seemed to help but were just too strong.
I think it's just our bodies telling us to slow down and take it easy!

Oh and I've made a list but not packed my bag yet, but I'll probably do it this wkend!!

me I am 35 weeks and I am struggling to stand for any length of time because I feel all chesty, I am not worried, it will pass soon enough when baby arrives.

My biggerst problem is insomnia and my poor, poor, back, which is in part causing the insomnia - the only place I am comfy is the bath.

Im having a home birth, I did have everything sorted I thought, but everything has gone missing, my baby clothes from ebay havent arrived :(.

All I need really is some baby nappies and to finish the last bits of decluttering (oh my god our toy room!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

I have almost finished and my mum is painting my dining room for me.
