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?

Main issue is my sister lives 5 hours away so it's not just a quick trip. She is a midwife and therefore is not necessarily easy to come. We may try to meet halfway. She is in Plymouth and me in London. She helps my parents out on a weekly basis as they live closer to her.

In any case my mum may not be able to sit down for long any time soon :0(

Come on babies hurry up and make an appearance!!

mummymidwife hope you feel better soon and you get a sweep to help things along.
iwill hope you manage to work out the logistics with your mum and that she makes a speedy recovery. Don't forget to look after yourself

Oh my goodness Iwill, the drama keeps going! Your poor mum, how scary. Really hope all ok & she recovers soon. Let us know how it goes if u can.

Ow ow ow roseberry-note to self, don't post & remove hot things from oven at same time!! Hope gets better today.

Everton, sounds like you've got it sussed for now. I also try to make sure DH gets rest as he's on a 12 hour shift with dd once she's up & she's more exhausting than baby. Baby sea salt is lulling us into false sense security at the moment, sleeping brilliantly day & night, v calm & content. Enjoying this phase whilst it lasts-dd was never this easy I swear! It will all go pear shaped now I've said that....

Come on baby always & mummymidwife, your mummies have had enough now & want to meet you! Try & do some sofa & biscuits as well as keeping busy-must be kind to yourselves x

everyone is annoying me!! only 34+5 but can't shake the feeling that I wish the world would piss off and leave me alone!
And where have these cankles come from???!

I'm 34 + 6 and starting to lose it as well. no good if I've got 7 weeks left!!! that prospect could be what's causing my frustration, as I've admittedly had it much easier than most from what I read on here. still, it feels like he's a giant and it's getting very uncomfortable sitting at a desk at work all day (12 work days left!!!). people keep asking if I'm getting scared for the birth and quite honestly, Im more feeling like I just need him out at this point!

Am now 40+1 and no sign of baby. Had a sweep yesterday and I felt like things were kicking off yesterday evening but all came to a halt. I did manage to have a decent sleep though for the first time in about 3 weeks. Feeling v fed up today then annoyed at myself for feeling that way!! Done lots of crazy mopping, hoovering this morning to try and kick stuff off again and am currently eating biscuits in bed to cheer myself up.

The last bit of pregnancy absolutely sucks. Feeling huge, can't get comfortable, simple tasks feel monumentous.

I've been doing all the crazy keeping busy with housework and walking for the past 3 weeks, it doesn't work! Given up now and spent the morning in bed I'm 40+4 so this might be my last chance to be lazy like this.

Oh I do feel for you flymo and nyldn. I think that stage is awful cos you're so close yet so far from the finish line, think I actually started this thread around the same stage!

That's nice to hear sea :) even if it doesn't last just enjoy it while it does! And everton, glad things are running a bit more smoothly for you as well. Hooray for spare beds!

Roseberry I'm 40+1 and as all the bouncing and walking hasn't worked I think I'll follow your lead and have a lazy day instead house is clean, laundry done, all organised so let's go!!

Oh the joys of late pregnancy! I just want to sleep of a night without being up and down like a yo yo to wee!
38 plus 4 today and just home from my last 2 hospital appointment so I finally have my maternity compression stockings and have seen the obstrectian for the last time. ..despite having been discharged from them at 24 weeks and them being useless
Last appointment now till the sweep which I'm going to try and delay a bit.
I do an hours walking every day with the school run so maybe it'll happen naturally this time!

Hate to tell you, I am still up and down like a yo yo, however the sleep you get is so much better quality when you get it, though I appear to have got out of the habit of turning whilst asleep, really odd, I keep waking up to do it.

I read something about women entering a preparation phase before birth where your focus shifts from everyday life over to the birth. I cannot remember the link, maybe someone on here posted this? I am not sure.

Try to get comfortable and laze (though not in positions that promote back to back positions)!!

Oh I know I will be exhausted very soon when bub gets here but will be lovely to sleep properly without heart burn and hopefully easing if the pelvic pain!

I finally realised today that bub is really happening within the next couple of weeks and had a very teary bout. I can't believe we've reached this stage as we had a late MMC last year and this pregnancy started as twins. It's just all gotten real suddenly

I need a rant so apologies in advance!!

SIL (well DH brothers girlfriend) just text me out if the blue saying how am I and she would be happy to look after DS when I go to hospital.

Reply I sent was along the lines of thanks for the offer but we've got it covered

Reply I wanted to send was:

1. this is the first time you've actually acknowledged my pregnancy or asked how I was or shown any concern for us or DS at all, even when we lost a twin early on and I was seriously ill in hospital twice.
2. When we see you at PIL you often don't even say hello to us or DS, even when he has stood right in front of you and said hi
3. Your children are so badly behaved I doubt our DS would make it through more than 10 mins In your care without one of your children hitting, biting or kicking him (they are 4 and 8, no special needs just get away with being terribly behaved)

I know it sound ridiculous but She had actually really p*ssed me off. I know from previous experience she doesn't even mean it, it's just so she can show BIL the text and say "look how wonderful I am, I offered to have nephew" grrrrrrr!!!!

Oops should have put that in chat or AIBU, sorry!
(Still pregnant and fed up as you can probably tell from above post!!)

No problem Always, especially since I have diverted this thread off topic a number of times! That sounds rough. I doubt your reaction will all be to do with pregnancy, sounds like thee are ongoing issues.

Ch1a your thoughts sound really familiar. I was really worried that our new baby round impact my other DC. I sm sure she has,and I am worried in case we handle it wrong, especially for my now precious middle child. Middle children can have it rough. My now middle child keeps asking if she is still my precious baby, to which I always say yes, I hope she will be ok.

Ha- rant away always, that's what we're here for! People are strange aren't they, not surprised you were annoyed!!

How are you pregnant fed up ladies today-sure we're due another baby soon?!

Thanks for the welcome, sorry I haven't been back on since!

So glad to know that there are people in the same phase as me, I'm just done now. It's the waiting that is killing me - I'm 38 weeks today, my belly is sore, I'm cleaning and bouncing and feeling sick but with my first I was induced so I don't know if something is happening, or if I am imagining it or if it's real and can I do anything to speed it up - oh I'm just rambling here. Basically I just feel on hiatus and I want something to happen!

Always, I know people like that too, really annoys me. I wish I could say things like that to their face but you just know they will twist it too and you will be the bad guy. Urg.

You know we're always good for a rant :) I'm surprised you weren't brutally honest in your reply!

I'm still here, still fed up. Haven't been on much lately due to being so fed up, I just can't seem to stop crying over everything, either that or being really angry and argumentative. Don't know what's wrong with me cos I'm usually the total opposite. 40+6 now so one week maximum to go!

Hello everyone, I too am still here and still fed up!
40+3 but it feels like my due date was a year ago! DS was 2 weeks late and looks like DD may follow in her brothers footsteps. Ahh well, either way 2 weeks from now our baby will be here whether she likes it or not!

So weird isn't it. I don't know why I've not really thought too hard about it before, I've just got on with being pregnant and focusing on that on not the baby iykwim. Feels so weird that next Monday I will have an actual real life baby to take care of! It's only just sinking in

It's impossible to look beyond being overdue when you're overdue. Then suddenly the baby is here and you don't quite know how it happened or what you were fussing about when you were so overdue. You would think I'd have known that having gone 13 days over with DC2, but no, the 9 days I went over with DC3 were sheer torture, again, and I couldn't imagine when he would ever arrive. And then suddenly he's here. And suddenly he's 8 days old and time is rushing by and you realise how fleeting and precious the early days are. I'm really trying to enjoy every newborn snuggle this time, whatever time of night and day!

Sending labour vibes to everyone who is overdue

Wise words there from Everton!
Yesterday I tried to resolve to just make the most of these last few days (hopefully) of relative calm and order. Spending time with just DH and DS and being a bit lazy in general. Also videoed the alien like movements of my bump as she really is pushing about in dramatic style now. I know Iwill look back in a week or two and wonder where my wiggly bump has gone and how on Earth did we get a baby!!

You are right Everton that's what I keep telling myself is that in the grand scheme of life my I wont even remember these overdue days but its a killer when you're living it. 40+4 today (think we had the same due date always- 25th?)

My sister had the kids for a sleepover last night and we went to some friends, nice to take my mind off it all. Trying to do something sociable every day just to keep busy and that I'm not moping!

I feel like youroseberry I'm nearly always a cheerful person but my moods have been so varying feeling all excited one min and then really low the next!

Every overdue day feels like about 3 weeks in non-pregnant time

doublechocchip yep my due date was 25th as well. Getting some gardening done today and hoping being up and mobile will jiggle things along a bit. Also been bouncing on my ball a lot which DS finds highly amusing for some reason!!
