Need some friendly encouragement, failing that a kick up the arse.
I'm 35+6, 3/5 engaged so there is light at the end of the tunnel. Just need to make it to the 18th of October, my last day at work.
I am however nackered, and from my parent education classes I know I should be sitting up straight, bouncing on my ball, basically encouraging baby into a good position (currently head down but on the right instead of the left, apparently not being helped by anterior placenta). My go to position is to slump on the sofa with my feet up, in the evenings, when baby is mega active, encouraging a bad position (possibly back to back).
I know I am going to get progressively more tired and am rapidly running out of time and energy, and I sort of am now expecting a long drawn out labour because of my own laziness.( But having never done it before I can't help deluding myself that I'll be fine)
Is there anyone out there who can share their experiences of the last 3 weeks of work and how you coped with the tiredness. How did you motivate yourself to do the right thing at the end of a very long day? Any tips on how to incorporate both being lazy and encouraging baby into a good position.
Thanks in advance.
