come cheer me up/moan about how shit late third trimester is...

[WhisperMen]

I am 36+3 and I am FED UP.

I keep having stupid niggly pains that mean I can't get comfy and I swear the baby is stabbing my cervix with a knife. The thought of potentially another 5/6 weeks of this depresses the hell out of me.

I have had a shower and just put clean pyjamas on because I can't be bothered with today.

Anyone else miserable?

I totally agree headless Why does it have to be so bloody difficult

You lot have me feel sane for the first time in weeks. 35 weeks today and dp is lovely and tells me to rest and I just feel like a lazy bugger because all I do is bloody rest (aside from looking after 2yo dd) and I'm still so shattered all the time.

We've got so much to do before baby arrives and I just can't muster up the energy to do any of it!

Waaaaah! The heartburn is back!!!
I've had 2 weeks of no bastarding heartburn and last night it came back with a vengeance. 2yo DSs sleep was the worst it's been in ages last night, so I've ha no sleep at all. Tuesday is MiLs usual day with DS (her choice) nd she rang this morning to say she was too busy to come for more than an hour. Shortly after DH rang and I just sobbed down the phone at him - tiredness makes me scarily emotional. Next thing I know MIL arrives and says she'll take DS til at least half 1 (thank god!) I am now trying - and failing - to have a nap.

Oh Whisper for the cramps... My BH are getting sinful andnits not good. I am so exhausted right now and struggling to nap through the day. Today I am trying to sort through DD clothes ready for going into her room but mattering the energy is proving difficult...

Sorry to be back so soon but just dropped a cup of hot lemon and ginger tea. Smashed the cup. Just sat in the kitchen and cried big sobby, snotty crys having a massive pity party on my own!

Another one with words of hope. Had DC2 a month back at 38+2 - despite the sleepless nights and toddler to care for as well, I feel so much better than when I was pregnant. It is amazing! No more heartburn, needing the bathroom every 3 seconds, just feeling so huge!

Wishing you all good luck x

Aww Littlepeapod I did the same with a casserole dish the other week. You would have thought it was a most treasured item from my tortured sobs!

Made a 'To Do' list for today of little jobs (at 5.30 this morning), reading it back now it seems like the rambling essay of a mad person. I have actually 'bleach back wall in kitchen' and I've listed all of the pots and pans 'to be soaked in distilled vinegar mix to remove any marks again'...I cleaned ALL of the pans just a week ago.

Hope everyone has a better day and thank you to those with messages of hope! reassuring!

Hello all again- god aren't we a miserable bunch haha. Nice to know there is light at the end of the tunnel though- does make it a teeny weeny but more bearable knowing it's not forever.
I'm 39+3 now. Had slight period type pains last two days but nothing else. I have tried everything now and still no movement so in resigning myself to the fact she will arrive when she wants to!
I'm actually just bored and fed up now- spd is a total bitch just to add insult to the already horrible injury of late pregnancy!
Got my fingers crossed we all drop soon!!!! ( would cross my legs too but as bump is too big and spd is too bad I'm leaving them open- also in the vain hope it coaxes baby out!)

today I have had the unending joy of feeling like I really need a wee but I can't actually pee. what is the bloody point of that?!

Heartburn got so bad last night I vomited in the bathroom sink (couldn't make the toilet)
My snoring is reaching earthquake inducing levels and poor DH ended up sleeping on the floor in DSs room - I thought he was exaggerating as usual until I tried having a nap earlier and couldn't actually sleep because I kept waking myself up with the hideous snorting.
Then I coughed and weed myself a bit.
Will the glamour never end??!!??!!

my feet are now so bloody swollen thanks to water retention that socks are painful and uncomfortable to wear. I now have christmas pudding shapes indented in my blobs where my feet used to be.

ooh ipswich heartburn is the worst. I regularly wake myself up snoring, luckily DP could sleep though a nuclear attack so he isn't bothered by it

Can I please join in? 38+3 weeks and I'm so done with being pregnant. I thought I would love being off on maternity leave but just feel bored and lonely yet feel stressed out when I know people are coming round to visit. Have done some manic cleaning but it totally knackers me out and despite feeling tired all day I can't sleep through the night. I will cry with relief the day I no longer have heartburn and have DH asking 'does it actually hurt you down there then?' every time I wince in pain cos baby is wriggling and it feels like she's trying to bite/claw her way through my bits. If one more person tells me that I will be so much more tired when baby is here and that I should ENJOY this last bit of pregnancy, I will stab them with their own bloody smug comments!

You ladies have my total sympathy. Those last few weeks are utter HELL. Anyone who says it's harder once the baby is here is mad - it is MUCH easier! You can move around, see your toes, walk upstairs without bursting into tears (maybe that one was just me).
DD is 15 weeks now, I'm pretty much back to normal (except the last stone of weight), exercising and chasing DS around the garden again - it's great! Plus DD is such a lovely little bundle of squishyness, it was all worth it! To the point where I gave considered doing it all again...! Pregnancy sucks but giving birth is like crack cocaine for me.
Hang in there ladies - the end is nigh!

Yeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaa...... I managed to sleep right through (11.30pm till 6.30am). That's the most sleep u have had in about 2 weeks.... .

Need to celebrate these little wins....

Morning all!
Hoping someone can cheer me up this morning. I have now TOTALLY had enough. 39+5 and losing all sense of rational thinking as in constant pain with spd as well as the normal uncomfort from pregnancy! Could hardly even move to go to bed last night and have hardly slept as every position is agony. The thought if another potential 2 weeks is making me really miserable and doesn't seem unlikely as I have had no signs of imminent labour.
Moaaaaaaaaaan :(

VICTORYYYYYY!

Poor you, sounds like you're having a bit of a rubbish time.

35 + 3 tiredest person ever.
massively had enough I can NOT do this for potentially another 7 weeks.
7 weeks :(

you can do it k!

Thanks Whisper. How are you getting on with the swelling today? Better I hope

Blondies . Chin up. It's not long now..

On a separate note. I have just been to Sainsburys and whilst minding my own miserable business at self check out, one of the sales girls walks up to me. Unexpected and out of the blue she touches my bump whilst saying "ohhhh when are you due, I am due in April". I felt like saying "why the fuck don't you just fuck right off and don't touch me" . I am not public bloody property!

It's just as bad today i'm afraid my feet are so puffy.

argh I hate it when people touch me. I want to headbutt them.

Eughhh why do people think it's ok to touch? Luckily due to my SPD I've not really left the house for ages and avoided the general public trying to touch me! If they did I would probably punch them.

one woman shouted to me from the other side of the road to stop for a second. She then made me wait 5 minutes while she got across the road and then rubbed my belly. I had no idea who she was and she just said "sorry, I just really need some luck today" and hurried off. I was so baffled by it I didn't react until I was back at home. People are weird.

Hahahaha what on earth?!

Felix I think I may stop going out to avoid the public. I threw the woman a nastiest look I could muster..

Whiper that made me laugh out loud..... WTF, just for some luck!! !

Yup, apparently rubbing a pregnant ladies belly gives you good luck I'm not a fucking buddah!
