Anyone else very fed up of being pregnant now?

[RoseberryTopping]

I'm 35 weeks and driving myself crazy! I'm so uncomfortable and this heat isn't helping. I'm constantly expanding, my jeans are getting too tight but it seems silly to buy anymore now.

I just want him out, he must be just about big enough by now!

Anyone else feeling the same?

See the sleep thing isn't so much a problem for me. I'm up every 30 mins (or so it feels!) for a wee and can never get comfortable but DP works away during the week so I've got the bed to myself most of the week. I can spread out as much as I like and toss and turn all night!
The hard part of it is being alone with DS all week. He's a typical threenager, also dreading half term here.

I'm only 22 weeks and had enough! I'm struggling in the 23C heat which is strange for someone who is always cold and dreams of sunny days. Can't concentrate at work, feel huge already. I don't know how I'm going to cope when I'm even more pregnant and it's August!

Thanks Theorginalwrinkly that's what I am hoping for although ds 1 was big and took 3 days so I am sure anything would be quicker than that! Snap on the heat front can't stand duvet on me in bed would love to feel cold for once!

I quite like the odds on nipple fiddling then. It might not be 100% effective but it's definitely worth a try.

36+6 here and totally ready. DS arrived at 34 weeks so in my head I'm now well overdue I lost my plug on Saturday but nothing exciting has happened since.

My parents are staying and every time I go out of the room, they and DH have hurried symptoms spotting conferences...."she's definitely dropped a bit"....."oooh she has backache!" It's very sweet they're all so excited but it's pressure. I haven't told them about the show and don't think I will.

I have my last work assignment due today, so when that's out of the way I WANT THIS KID OUT!

I'm 33 weeks and also very fed up! my bump has gone from tiny to mahoosive over the weekend and I have really struggled today I have had enough of spd and had enough of having no energy and feeling dizzy every time I try to do something. I can't bend over because the baby squishes into me if i try (and that bloody hurts!) and I have to waddle everywhere like a penguin. As soon as I hit 37 weeks operation evict baby will begin

Yes. Fed up and pissed off. 38+3. I am just enormous! Walking has all of a sudden got very very uncomfortable (was bad enough anyway with spd). As dc1 and dc2 were 10 days or so early I am examining even twinge and niggle thinking "this is it!" But no this baby is not keen to be out. Bugger.

Have been on long walk this evening though so fingers crossed that might get something moving.

my nipples are sore from all the twiddling! I keep getting twinges, get all excited, then nothing.

booked in for a sweep on Friday when I'll be 40+6, and I'll be induced at 41+5 if no movement from that.

I am thanking the Lord for the small mercy that she has moved down, but this just means she's on my bladder and I go for about 100 wees per day.

it's just wall to wall glamour here

Inching towards 38 weeks here. So desperate for this to be over. My hg came back with a vengeance in the last month and combined with that, a horrid cold, hayfever and boobs down to my knees practically I want done! I want proper bras again! And to eat something with flavour. And to have a beer. And for my shoes and flip flops to fit me again. Seeing my consultant tomorrow to discuss an induction in the next week. The end is in sight...

Back to reset my passwords on mumsnet at only 30 weeks in my second pregnancy, I feel so damn isolated. and appear to have found my tribe here

I am huge, baby is large, I have SPD, Ive had to take my first sick note ever for the time until my maty leave starts, I cant walk more than 10 mins like a snail with crutches and a brace, before my legs start to go numb, there is literally (and I really mean this literally, not figuratively-literally) no position I am comfy in, and I am up a flight of stairs meaning its even more difficult to get anywhere. I have at least 8-9 weeks of this to go and I am so bored..., cant be bothered with cleaning, nesting and cant do anything but online shopping (thank god for lovely delivery men), just moved so dont really know many people locally, and really dont feel like making new friends whos first impression of me will probably be 'whinging pregnant octogenarian'

rant over - for balance, pregnancy is going OK and baby is healthy, and Im sure a straightforward CS and lovely snuggly newborn will make it all OK...

btw - am only huge bump wise, not all over, because of short stature and large genetics on the paternal side, last child was over 9lb at 38 weeks, this one seems to be measuring bigger....

41 week's today and I've lost the will to live, gonna attempt the 1st sweep tomorrow and won't get an induction date until after I don't think it's gonna work he's being a lazy bugger and won't get out no matter how much I beg him lol

I'm fed up can I join! Due today and no signs of movement. SPD playing up, bump is huge and DS (2.5) has decided now is the time to get a naughty streak.

also fed up with people telling me to 'make the most of it'.

make the most of what? looking like a heifer, weeing all day, being a miserable and mardy wretch?

I've been waiting to meet my baby for months, I just want her here!

Sorry you're all suffering too, bust out the maxi dresses and get your puffy ankles rested .

totally with you clareyfarey

make the most of 10 weeks sleepless waddling restricted misery and pain while wearing what seems to be a mu-mu. I think I will end up eating myself into gestational diabetes....

Oh bless you, I can sympathise. I was pregnant through the summer last year and now I'm pregnant again 18 weeks tomorrow feel like I've constantly being pregnant for the past two years. Try not to think about it and just dress comfortably maybe you could get some cheap non-chavvy jogging type bottoms to see you through or some leggings whatever suits. Congratulations!

peoples faces when they ask me how long I have left and I tell them I'm overdue when doing my food shopping is good sport though!

Who knew there would be so many hormonal pregnant women to whinge with!! Sorry everyone else is feeling a bit poo though :( I know it's not long left for most of us but it just seems to take forever at this stage.

I get lots of strangers grabbing me now and saying "ooh you must be ready to pop any second?!", the looks of pity on their face when I tell them I've got another 5 weeks to go makes me want to cry every time.

Oh didactylos I really feel for you, you sound so worn out. Have you asked about being induced early due to SPD? I know my friend had it really bad and managed to get induced at 37 weeks, having that last 3 weeks knocked off made a huge difference for her.

Oh the lack of sleep. And the need to pee every time I stand up. roseberry I hope that they just touch your arm and don't touch the bump? That had made me nearly want to punch people! Why must they invade my body space as I waddle down the street? Why does being pregnant mean my body becomes public property all of a sudden?!

And as for the hormones I am really tired of being in a rage. Or crying at adverts. Or biting dh's head off for no reason.

I will be having a planned repeat section so was keen to get to at least 38 wks - was offered a VBAC but given the state of the pelvis/likely size of baby/general unfitness from the last 2-3 months of restricted activity etc didnt think labouring and pushing would help. I am so done with breeding vikings.....

There is one good side to being so miserable and having crutches Roseberry- I dont have the bump grabbing strangers making you so uncomfy, I must be radiating an F-off forcefield a mile wide this time. Totally sympathise, its so bizzare that people think touching is acceptable - questions, smiles, eye contact yes, but why touch?

I know, when you're 35 weeks hearing not long now is slightly infuriating! I know it's meant well, and I've probably (definitely) said it to other women oops! It's such a long time when you're suffering!!

My raspberry leaf tea tablets arrived today!

As much as I want to go into labour now, I do need to wait until my dp changes his car and buys a car seat

Re the jogging bottoms - when I don't have to be at work, my Mothercare 'yoga' bottoms are honestly the most comfy things in the history of the planet. They're super light with exactly the right amount of stretch and don't even look that bad.

I'm wearing a knee length dress to work today and couldn't be bothered trying to drag tights over my massive feet. I tried to shave my legs but couldn't manoeuvre all that well so have hacked myself to pieces round the knee area. Ffs!

Can I have a giant, screechy, unserene, blooming-my-arse moan too please?

Aside from the heartburn, the swollen ankles, the exhaustion, the weeing every five seconds, the not sleeping, the careening hormones, we are still waiting on news of an international relocation with DH's job at the end of July.

We have been waiting months but now I am literally at the end of my tether. I was so sure we would know before baby got here and have time to make plans but I'm 37 weeks now. We are currently in Oz and his contract is coming to an end so we have to relocate anyway but it would be nice to have an inkling where, wouldn't it?

And just to top off the spectacularly awful week I'm having, I had to extract ticks from both DCs ears last night. Ticks FFS! At 37 weeks pregnant!

I actually think baby senses my rage and is afraid to come out...

Ugh, I hate when people say 'not log to go!' Or 'sleep while you can!'

Do they not know how uncomfortable it is being pregnant? How agonisingly painful it is moving around in bed, getting out of bed every couple hours to pee, being too hot to sleep, etc?

One thing I've heard is that even with the sleep deprivation that comes with baby, what little sleep you do get is blissful. So not the case in pregnancy.

Oh it's full on grabbing and fondling, none of this arm touching business!

I'm actually a bit jealous of you pulling tics out, I love gross stuff like that hope you get sorted out soon though, it really is the last thing you need to be stressing about with baby due any day.
