so tired

[timeforachangebaby]

I feel like a giant slug, I've 2 under 5 already - I'm nearly 38 weeks and having pains that start and stop all night (then stop all day) so I'm having no sleep.

I've got loads to do and just no energy at all to do any of it.

Urgh.

oh I'm totally with you on this!! I'm about the same as you and so totally over being pregnant! I've only got one other to worry about though - and he's spending the day with his grandparents but I just can't seem to get any sleep and am totally wiped out - and DH, sympathetic as he tries to be, just doesn't understand that even getting some lunch is totally exhausting. I spent the morning in hospital having my blood pressure assessed and I came over all teary when BP started to go down cos I was kind of hoping they'd insist on getting baby out sooner rather than later - I know it's going to be hard when baby comes too but.... well at least I wouldn't be pregnant anymore!!

Can you prioritise what you have to get done? take it one small thing at a time? it's the only way I'm doing anything at the moment! Can you get any help? get someone to cook a meal/have a takeaway/do some cleaning/shopping/take the kids for a while? I know it's hard to admit you're not coping but sometimes you just have to ask for help (she says trying to take her own advice!!)

Funnily enough Ive just got my sister to take my 2 year old for the afternoon, and DH is doing all the cooking!!!!!

I am going to try to get some wrapping done next, as if the baby does arrive, then I better get it out of the way, I have done some already.

Its hard work this late pregnancy business isnt it!
