Thankfully I had a sleep this afternoon and felt less mental after but now it's Sunday night, dh is packing as he's away tor work from tomorrow and I feel crap.
Baby is still breech and pressing on my lungs. The thought of another 8 weeks of this actually makes me cry.
Also, bump is huge and if one more person says "due any day?" I swear I'm going to go fucking postal.

38+4 here. Completely fed up, agitated and miserable.
Fed up of wearing the same crappy clothes, fed up of not being able to sleep.
Took dd back to to school today and ds back to pre-school after half term and feel like everyone's looking, thinking "is she still pregnant"? Have been asked by every parent this morning "not long now surely" comments.
Can't sleep, can't really be bothered with anymore cleaning as actually quite tired,, thrush playing up, I'm basically a mess.

I'm 35 weeks and feeling exactly the same. I'm so uncomfortable all the time but especially after my evening meal. I've given up hoping to keep even a shred of dignity for the next few weeks. I look a state and my body is wrecked. My two boys are 2 & 4 so still expecting some form of normal life to continue but I could cry at the fact that it's still another 5-7 weeks of waiting, ds2 was born at 40+10 so I'm thinking I'll go overdue again.

It's really not helping that I have a horrible niggling anxiety about it all going horribly wrong so I can even relax and get excited I just want this baby here safe and healthy so I can stop being an anxious grumpy wreck!

At least it's all worth it in the end Smile

Thecakeisalie I also feel anxious, want to know all safe and ok,, and it's making me so anxious and agitated I just don't know what to do with myself. Just want everything to be ok.

I've been pregnant since August 2012. It's starting to take its toll on my body now....

Well I'm all packed, should be all over by this time tomorrow.

I'm more nervous than excited (although I never get very excited throughout pregnancy, I was the same last time too) can't quite believe it's happening!

I'm only 26 weeks and feel like this! Am in the bath for the 5th night in a row due to spd, I'm heavy breathing like a dirty phone perv because my lungs feel all squished, and I'm on my own because DH is working away. None of these things make me happy!!

Dh keeps saying "hurry up" or "the baby's coming today" and has been symptom spotting everything. I've had a lot of very mild period pains but I know that can go on for weeks before labour actually starts.

Every time I go to the loo I hope to see that I've had a show. I know it's unlikely that baby would come this early (37+3) but I guess I am anxious. I keep thinking about all the different scenarios and what I would do. If the kids are in school/pre school, if it's in the night, if it's the weekend. Argh!

I'm 39 weeks tomorrow (just refused induction) and having my first sweep Monday, im very excited she's gonna be here soon but I'm still loving being pregnant and adamant that she'll come when she's ready and genuinely don't mind waiting for her aslong as she's healthy! I hated the wait for the 12 week scan that was the hardest part for me, not long now ladies chin up x

Finally 40 weeks today.

I'm going to assume the 40+19 mentioned upthread was a typo Smile

38+6 i.e. 10years and counting. This last 8 weeks have dragged just want one of these twinges to be the real thing just get on with it I want my body back NOW!! Plus every day baby is not here feels like a day of my maternity leave wasted and know it will fly by.

Well now it's after midnight so I'm officially 39 weeks today. What I really want back is simply the power to regulate my own body temperature again - so sick of my hands and feet being baking hot! Baby is back to back too, which is so uncomfortable and nothing will shift him Angry

I think the furthest over my hospital lets you go is 10 days, although if I can convince them to do it earlier then great - my other 2 children delivered back to back too and it's not like it gets easier the bigger they get!

34 weeks and I was fine up until 32 weeks since then awful back and pelvic pain feel absoulutely huge nothing looks nice hate seeing myself waddling around only feel comfy in pjs. Im not sleeping only 3 hours at a time. I keep getting stabby pains in my foof, i agree writer my maternity clothes look too small so i feel like a tramp which doesnt help living in portugal with all these tiny slender women with perky boobs. Ive never had perky boobs being a 34 D originally but now they are just way to large and wobbly.
It takes forever to find a posiiton that doesnt hurt to sleep without heartburn coming and needing a wee. I have too much trapped wind which really hurts somedays and flatulance is just so lovely and attractive. grr rant over

So glad others have said about maternity clothes, I just want to wear something different now, look dreadful. 39 weeks for me tomorrow,, can't do another school run with everyone asking 'how long?' I know what a misery I am ay? Also worried r.e babies position as it's seems to have moved a bit, and I'm scared it could be back to back ( had this with no1 baby and was my scary delivery) last item was ok.
Feel so restless and agitated,., bored, but tired and can't be bothered to do very much. Also I've already had 1 months mat leave now, so only another 9 to go- how depressing!

Hi, I'm still fed up,.,.but just wandered if anyone has had any movement yet? I'm now 39+1 and feeling quite down, which I know is stupid, but just want it to happen now. I think maybe its gonna go on forever. I was very slightly early with my 2 dcs so everyone keeps expecting me to be early.
