32 weeks - 8weeks left, really?

[Charingcrossbun]

Gosh this is hard! I'm 32weeks and I've had a pretty good ride was sick but not really sick, tired but not too tired, back ache but not spd but now it's really tough! Friends, colleagues and strangers (but not medical professional) tell me I look full term/it's really dropped/ comin soon etc! My bump is huge, sleeping, walking, sitting, eating is uncomfortable. Baby is kicking my internal organs with reassuring regularity. I've just left work early for the day as it was all too much.
Sorry for the moan! my question is:
Is it likely to come early? Does it matter. Does everyone feel like this
Later on?

I'm 33 weeks and also starting to wish the end was nearer. Didn't feel like this last time but had more time to rest as not having to entertain a 3 year old! Same problems as you - uncomfortable, not sleeping well, heartburn, hip pain etc etc!
Sorry to say that I don't think bump size or symptoms are hints of an early arrival. Just as well in my case as nowhere near ready with the practical stuff!
Take the opportunity of an early finish to put your feet up and have a nap!

31 weeks here and coping pretty well with pregnancy (No particularly massive or uncomfortable really, just normal) Obviously completely beside myself with excitement and anticipation to meet this little one (team yellow as well so don't even know sex eeeek!) but also starting to realise that life changes forever in 9 weeks and really starting to savour every last second of this time being pregnant, still just being a twosome and having complete freedom to come and go as I please.

Could be only 5 weeks and still be regarded as full term could be 10 weeks I think pretty much everyone is fed up and wishes baby would hurry up and come out by the end. I'm sure it's evolutionary - overcome your fear of childbirth by being totally fed up of pregnancy!

6 weeks to go here.

Or 42 days..........

Or 1008 hours........

Or 60480 minutes.........

Sigh.

Thanks guys.
I am really excited too!
I think it's just difficult to split myself from work - I know I could push through and go in tomorrow, not let colleagues down etc but is that the best thing for bump?

No not best for bump.... I m the same and done a complete 360 with work , which has been a major shock to them but I now have something more important to think about other than running around after selfish people ( and never getting thanks for it ) x

34 weeks here, Charingcross and I totally feel you!
Started to get a lot harder physically at 33 weeks. While that's on and off, I just want to FF these last weeks (which suddenly seem like a huge great chunk of time despite being pretty close) even though I'm not ready.

I went through this about the same time as you and considered leaving work early but after about a week it got better again. I stayed at work until 36w and glad I did. Now 39w and getting tired again
