yeah
im feeling crankier Grin

honestly though i really am cranky today. the last few days of aches pains and tightenings amounted to nothing. everything was completely quiet today and now the cramps are starting again. hes not even engaged ffs. Sad
if its not going to happen yet thats fine but i hate being on off on off on off. that feeling you get when you wake up in the morning and its all stopped again its gutting xx

37 weeks was when it all started to go downhill for me. Had felt fantastic up until that point then suddenly exhausted, aching, struggling to sleep, nausea etc. no sign of baby yet and few days off due date sorry to say! Think it's just your body telling you to slow down x

Excited85 i didnt mean i think im getting close no far from it infact getting load of braxton hicks etc but nothing to say delivery is near im suffering from crappy sleep issues waking in the night thats making me cranky Angry oh the joys of it all eh cant remember the last time i felt fantastic though lol

It's rubbish isn't it. I was trying to tell myself it wouldn't be too bad now am into the 'final weeks' as if that makes it easier to put up with. But instead it's just dragged! Grrrr x

Same here princess... Was in busy 'make things nice' mode until a few days ago, then got the calm (totally know what you mean), not wanting to leave the house etc, then yesterday just became super cranky and teary. Think self pity may have played a part Blush poor Dh tried all the tricks and I was still unhappy - thought if I did go into labour that would hardly be the right mindset!
Today I try harder

princesscupcakemummyb · 13/10/2013 11:52

37 weeks on the dot when it all changed for me. Realised that I couldn't physically or emotionally cope with work anymore, so tied up loose ends and finished at 37+2.

Now 37+5, and feel such a relief for being at home, having chance now to think about baby, go to bf class, finally see physio for spd, meet up with mom for cake, have hour long baths and 2 hour naps as and when I wish.

I am physically very uncomfortable and experiencing a fair amount of pain, not sleeping well at night, but I am trying to enjoy the last few weeks of pregnancy as much as possible. I am trying not to think about how much I want labour to start (watched pot never boils type thought), in the hope that it will surprise me when I least expect it- in the next 2 weeks ideally!

I'm 37 weeks too and feeling pants. Headaches, nausea, sickness, nosebleeds, insomnia...and I'm being totally ineffective as a result! I was so excited and totally immersed in 'nesting' at this point with my other two but I just can't seem to muster up the energy to do anything for this little mite - haven't given a thought to packing my hospital bags, haven't finished her room etc.

Tomorrow will be different (or so i keep telling myself)!

honey86 · 13/10/2013 17:33

ditto xalia Grin

I could have written these posts! I am now 37+3 and have had enough. Frumpy, grumpy and in pain... Now up with my 2 year old ds who I have plonked in front of the telly. Hoping my mood picks up soon Smile

Me too (37+2). Went to bed last night at half 10, woke up at midnight for a wee, then again at 3am - wide awake until 5.45am - alarm went off at 6am. Braxton Hicks have moved up a notch too. Had to pull over yesterday while driving to puke. Am working to 38+6 which has been fine so far as have been one of those irritants who have sailed through pregnancy but now I feel like a bus has hit me. I'm getting a bit worried about walking the dog now too - he needs a good hour if not longer run about and I'm fine for the first half hour or so but struggle after that and all our walks are on hills! I'm a bit concerned I'll go into labour while walking him so trying to stick to busy/easily accessible forest park routes or go with someone!
