Got to the point where I'm just wishing I wasn't pregnant anymore and baby was just here. Fed up of feeling like utter crap. Not sleeping much, bad heartburn, back aches, no energy and just not feeling like me anymore :( Also my partner works really long night shifts at the moment and when he is home he's asleep. Not getting chance to spend time together as often as we would like to.
Any advice on how to feel more human and less like an aches lump would be brilliant!!

Bless you! I know what I'm going to say is going to annoy the hell out of you because it did me when I was pregnant. But as someone who has just had their first baby i'd suggest you make the most of the time before toe little bundle of joy arrives. Take long baths, catch up on TV, sleep when you can, catch up with friends, if money allows...have spa treatments, spend as much time as poss with partner (I know you said that's difficult at the moment) - just enjoy not being responsible for a tiny human.
Also, I found reflexology, baths and chocolate helped me through those last weeks of pregnancy x

I know exactly how u feel I'm 35 weeks n totally had enough I want my body back nowHmm

No advice, sorry, but I remember the last few weeks being really horrible. I was miserable as hell and just wanted him out and my old self back ha. Someone told me it's to help take the fear out of the thought of the labour, you get so focussed on how much better it will be afterwards that you don't worry about the actual process!

Im not quite at your stage (only 32 weeks) but am totally with you on partner working long night shifts so very little time together before baby arrives, its hard isnt it! I hate when he spends his days sleeping and i am uncomfortable etc and then when is awake off he goes to work! I havent started mat leave yet but when i do i know it will feel worse but as above we just need to try and keep yourself busy during day, sort out baby bits get out of the house, enjoy some you time before baby arrives! My dp will be working all weekend nights this weekend so am trying to plan my days so have something to keep me occupied, i often find i feel worse if sat at home alone! Smile
