I've got 5 weeks to go and I know it will fly by but my god I'm tired, hormonal, uncomfortable...

I just want to sleep! And eat! Confused
Anyone else feeling crappy?

I can't wait to breathe again! I swear this baby is just all up in my lungs. And I've become really congested. And I'm swollen. Like seriously swollen.

I'm due 4 weeks from tomorrow... but I have always felt like I will go the full 2 weeks overdue... I can't do 6 more weeks of this!!

I feel so bad having a moan but Christ I'm struggling! Yes I can't wait to breath again, and walk properly, and get out of bed without having to be pulled up by my OH.

And... To enjoy a LARGE glass of wine Smile

My CS is booked for a week on Friday and it feels forever away Sad
My midwife thinks I'll go into natural labour before that date and I really hope so, I'm just so fed up and uncomfortable. Can't believe how swollen my feet are Sad

37 weeks today. I feel like I've been pregnant for years. I have a really bad pain in my chest all the time atm - I think it's my ribcage expanding. Sore hips. 4/5 pees at night. Munching my way through most of a bag of ice a day. Can't breathe. Congested & swollen. I feel like crap. This will be a long three weeks. This is my second day of mat leave and I'm fed up already. Rant over.

God I'm proper fed up too. 37 weeks this Thursday and also tired hormonal and uncomfortable beyond imagination. DH just text to ask would I prefer he stayed at work to do extra hours tonight or tomorrow. Neither thanks if you have to ask! In fact screw work and a living, come home now and look after DD so I can just go to bed! There isn't even any cake in the house ffs Sad

I'm in the same boat domesticgoddess! DH been working late last night and tonight (actually wining & dining visitors tonight - well for some). DD at nursery until 5 today, but feeding, bathing, changing and putting her to bed alone is a real struggle at the moment. My back was broke last night chasing after her! It's just her and me all day tomorrow - I'm going to be exhausted!!

Same boat - OH works for himself so has to work all the hours he can. Have now said that he needs to do DS bath time and take him out every Sunday for a few hours because I just bloody can't!

Most of my aches and pains are low down. And have terrible sciatica. I was thinking last night... Imagine if I still had 6 months left Shock

4 more Saturdays... Wine
