So fed up :( Am i alone?!

[NatashaVictoriaX]

34 weeks and feel like such a bitch for saying it but im soooo fed up of bein pregnant!! I feel like the next person who tells me they loved being pregnant, i might just tear their face off!! The recent bout of hot weather definitely hasn't helped. Im constantly hot and frustrated, i feel like a hippo and cry when i don't fit in my clothes! Everyone says i look really good and healthy but i just don't feel it! Does anyone feel like this.and what can i do to make myself feel.better?? I just want my baby now! X

I feel the same at 39weeks :/ doesn't help that I knew I was pregnant pretty much the day we conceived.. it feels like the longest pregnancy ever

33 weeks* sorry lol

I'm 33 weeks and I have got way too many feelings. Slightest thing will set me off into uncontrollable sobbing which invariably leads on to whailing...
I have no dignity left

I would also like to add that I can also only watch very lighthearted tv and films now as any sign of something not ending happily will send me into a spiral of panic and tears.

35 weeks here and feeling your pain ladies. Getting less energy now too and starting to feel bored of TV. Made the mistake of watching a repeat of one born the other night and blubbed all the way through. Seems unreal that I'll be going through all that in a few weeks. We will all be on the "due any day" thread soon enough!

First few weeks dragged, then from 12 - 30 weeks flew by. Now 32 weeks and I just want this baby to arrive and each day feels like a month!

I know how you feel.
I'm also 34 weeks and it's warm, the belly gets in the way, going to the loo every 2 seconds.
Cravings, the cleaning etc

I don't mind people telling me how good I look.
But all the time the same questions. That's really getting on my nerves!!!

• Do you know what's going to be?
• then something like: poor you, you wished for a girl? I really feel like kicking the next persons face in who's going to say this again to me. I'm happy with this baby. So don't even try to think that for some stupid reason I wouldn't be happy with him just because he's a boy. So what!?!?! I sometimes just say that I don't know. Because I've already 3 boys they then say: You're hoping for a girl? I usually respond with: I'm hoping for a baby.

Strangers don't know that I've always had big baby's and this one is predicted to be 5 kilo around 40 weeks. At 36 weeks I'm going to have another scan for to see how big our 'little' one is.

If he's to big I'll need a c-section.
So I'm really hoping for a real newborn baby.

*when is the baby due?
I'm 34 weeks so their response:

Ho, not long anymore....

I know all these people mean well. But they don't know that I get always the same questions.
It's getting boring and annoying.

Even sometimes complete strangers feel the need of having to say something to me?!?!
Why?

An older man on the street not long ago:
Enjoy your rest while you can. When that baby arrives its over.
?!?!?

I thought like:
What the F is this?
Like it's a bad thing getting a baby?
And who the hell are you???

I told him that I liked a big family and I've got already 3 kids and I don't mind being busy.
He just smiled and moved on.

Idiot!!!

I'm going to knitting, tai chi and some other clubs.
Most, I guess just want to show interest or just being nice. But sometimes I just wish they'd forget that I'm pregnant and just ignore me.

Most people are ok and nice.

But it's the heat, the belly that gets in the way. The hormones that make me so emotional.
Someone today brought for the kids some sweeties and for me a bar of lovely chocolate.

And what happened.....
I just started to cry like a small child......... I made a complete fool out of myself. I was so touched by it, it was so sweet of her to buy it for me and some other sweets for the children.

I'm happy with being pregnant and I know when it's over I'd really miss this time. But at this moment....
I also feel from time to time that I had enough.

The physical discomfort, the same questions when I stick my bud out of the front door, lack of sleep.
It's nice and a special time, but it's not all fun and games being pregnant

I can't believe some people are so rude about boys. I'm having a boy and it's my first baby. not really had any negative comments. a lot of people have said that boys are more clingy to Mum and sweet and girls can be a nightmare but to be honest we wanted a baby we didn't mind the sex. my mum told me she wanted a grand daughter and so when I said it was a boy she was in disbelief like she'd already planned it all out in her head and kept saying " oh... so we're going blue then" like she wouldn't be able to buy all the flowery dresses she's seen. having 4 boys is amazing, imagine all those handsome men you'll have looking after you in years to come, and no weddings to pay for

I'm 32 weeks and am definitely starting to feel like I've had enough. I'm enormous and uncomfortable all the time. I woke up at 3:30 last night and couldn't get back to sleep until about 5:30, then my 5 yr old DS woke me up at 5:58. I had a lovely holiday last week but then have had to work this weekend to make up for it and I am so freakin' tired all the time I can't keep up with the work! I'm not going on mat leave for another 6 weeks and the thought just kills me. I just want to lie around and doze and occasionally do some light housework like rearranging the pantry and have everyone leave me alone.

There, rant over...

PS I had a son for my 1st DC and would have been happy to have another boy (but am expecting a girl) . They are all different individuals for goodness' sakes!

Noooooo you're not alone! Totally normal, you mustn't feel bad. I was the same with my last pregnancy in the last few months and wanted to kill all the jolly ladies telling me how much they loved being pg.

I know it's no help really but you haven't got long now

Can I ask if anyone else at this stage regularly feels like baby is coming early???

I'm 28 1/2 weeks and I'm sick of it as well. My first pg was a doodle but this is my 2nd and at age 44 I'm just way too old for this - body just doesn't like being pregnant so it's a lot of pain, constant peeing, 24 hr/day heartburn etc.

The thing I'm finding toughest is dragging myself into work and then still trying to be diplomatic and deal with all the politics at my very english uptight bureaucratic organization. I truly want to rip the heads off the people I work with.

So OP - are you still working? Because if you're not I'd encourage you to head off now to give yourself a chance to put your feet up etc. Life will feel better if you can try to relax a bit more.

Sorry I meant to write that 'my first pregnancy was a doodle...' not a 'doodle'!

A doddle, a doddle...

yes nelly I have thought all along I would be early due to date of last af and edd being weeks apart. also I'm carrying really low and this week's I've been getting more Braxton hicks and pelvis aches. I'm trying to keep active but even just cooking dinner wears me out.

Am 27 weeks and feel the same.

I don't want talk to anyone, I just want to lie on the sofa and watch shit telly.

Have to go back to work tomorrow - have 23 days left and am bloody dreading it.

Someone on here was upset about maybe having her baby at 34 weeks - I thought how bloody ecstatic I would be because it would mean that I did not feel like a hot, achy whale for as long as I should (and then feel bad about feeling shit about being pregnant!)

To know I'm not the only one that wants to hide from the world, watch daytime tele and punch anyone who comes near me, makes me feel so much better :)
I'm just so over being an over emotional, stretched out, uncomfortable, hot and clammy hippo!
I'm only 21 and I feel quite young having a baby. I've never really had any maternal instinct in me, I'm kinda hoping it all just comes to me when my boy arrives.
But seriously, women that tell me they looovveedddd being pregnant and it was such a lovely time for them... HOW?! I've got constant heartburn, aches and pains everywhere! I feel stretched out, nothing fits me and my fat belly gets in the way of everything! I'm so emotional the tiniest thing will make me cry. I feel so down and poo about myself :( Feeling him move makes my stomach turn, it hurts!! I mean I love the reassurance of him being there and active but really boy?! All day?!
Give me my baby, healthy and happy and I can start to feel like me again!!!! I can't wait!! X
