35 weeks and so uncomfortable that I want to shriek!

Just an argh! I am huge. Vast. Enormous. I have vice-like Braxton Hicks all the time. The baby's head is down and grinds in my pelvis like a power tool. I can hardly move. I can't get up the stairs without nearly passing out (low blood pressure!). I still have morning sickness. STILL! Almost every night is a torturous exercise in back pain and constantly needing to pee. I feel irrationally angry, as if I have PMT all the time. I also really wish it would stop raining –my children don't want to play outside and I think they have cabin fever. They keep fighting and whining (normally they play really well together!) and I feel like I have steam coming out of my ears!

Someone please remind me that in a few weeks I will be sitting outside in the sun (OK, maybe sun is a bit optimistic) with a cute little baby and 2 lovely children merrily playing, and that I will have lost the urge to run around screaming Grin

Run? What am I thinking? The best I could manage would probably be rolling.

Thanks, girls!

We're still in hosp as little lady is jaundiced. Soo looking forward to getting her home!

Not long to go for you now, ladies. I wish you a (relatively) smooth last few weeks and beautiful births.

I know this is an old thread but I'm so glad I came across it. Reading these help me to realise its completely normal to be feeling so crap. I'm 34+5 and I'm so uncomfortable I could cry, sleep is nearly impossible and where I used to look forward to bed time I now dread it! Just want this to be over 😫 and I feel so horrible for saying that as I know there are so many who would love to be in my position, I was one, taking 4 years to conceive, but I'm just so done with feeling so disabled 😪
