I'm 37+2 but had my other 3 babies before 36 weeks so I'm feeling enormous and fed-up. No idea why I'm still pregnant when I've never gone this far before but needless to say I expected a baby by now and the thought of another potential four weeks is thoroughly depressing. Anyone else want their baby out now and fancy joining me for some last-minute moaning?

I'm 41+3 today...10 bloody days.

Yeah, it's proper rubbish!

ShowMeShowMeTheWine · 29/08/2014 20:12

38+4 and beyond desperate for this baby to arrive.
So so fed up now.

TheOnlySeven · 29/08/2014 20:39

Ugh sorry dolly, I'm really dreading actually going overdue. It's suddenly occurred to me the last couple of days that going overdue really is actually a possibility, I guess if I've made it this far anything is possible as she clearly isn't in a hurry.

37+4 and I know baby is better off on the inside for a little bit earlier but yes, I feel your pain. Would gladly welcome labour now.

I heard of someone today who is 12 days overdue, that must be torture.

FoodieMum3 · 29/08/2014 21:15

A little bit longer

ShowMeShowMeTheWine · 29/08/2014 21:28

Sat twiddling nipples in desperation Grin wish me luck!!

Nocturne123 · 29/08/2014 21:43

38 +6 and so fed up , don't remember being this uncomfortable with dd ! Hope everyone's babies get a move on !!

PenguinsIsSleepDeprived · 29/08/2014 21:57

Oooh gosh, that must be hard after 3 early ones.

I can't really help because I've gone over with all three and to +13 with my last. At 37 weeks I still felt pretty good! But you have my sympathy, those last days and weeks are hard, hard, hard.

lucyclaudeclaude · 29/08/2014 22:17

Hi 7 I had twins at 36 weeks in march and the last two weeks were hell (one seemed to be lying on bladder and one on lungs). Terrible acid reflux whenever I ate/drank. I couldn't wait for them to arrive and knew the date as section planned. They were good weights 5.11 and 5.12 but having had a dd 8.1 they seemed soooo tiny and fed every 2 hours for 6 weeks. If u feel knackered now......just take comfort in the fact that although bubba I s giving u hell these last few weeks are so important (not long til u can enjoy a glass of wine!)

38+5 here and very fed up, been having every sign that Labour is coming for the last week, bloody show, baby in position, cramps, backache, contractions that disappear, I just want to meet this baby now, night time is killing me , I hope we all go into Labour soon lol

Missingcaffeine · 29/08/2014 22:44

37 weeks and getting comfy at night is now a big problem. Feel very sleep deprived. Acid reflux is almost constant and making me feel queasy. Having said that, I still have quite a bit of nesting to do, so not quite ready! Left everything till the last minute as so busy with work.

Hatetidyingthehouse · 29/08/2014 22:48

40+2 here. Sick of "any movement " texts. What does that even mean ?

Please can I join you all in the group moan! 38+3 here, and asides from the usual joys of late pregnancy have also managed to come down with a terrible cold, gah!! Not sure how this is even possible seeing as where I live in Spain it's around 40 degrees outside!

After a scare at 32 weeks was told by doctors that it was extremely probable the baby would come early... So that was spot on. Ate half a pineapple last night, sounds like its time to progress to the nipple twiddling! Grin

SuzanneSays · 30/08/2014 12:37

Ha ha hatetidyingthehouse

rampallion - yup - 40 degrees here too and I am 40+7 - going insane! Due to be induced on Monday - currently on a fit ball, nipple tweaking and eating curry!

Any other ideas on how to bring it on?

Mistyautumn · 30/08/2014 13:23

37 + 3. Bouncing on a fit ball and been for a half hour walk this morning to see if I can get things moving. I know that I am not even past 38 weeks but I have been told I am growing a whopper and want to avoid induction/section if possible!!

TheOnlySeven · 30/08/2014 13:49

Sorry ladies I gave birth at 8:33 this morning after a scary 2 hour labour, 8 minutes after arriving at hospital.

Congratulations TheOnly!!! Flowers Wow, sounds like you only just made it to hospital in time!

SuzanneSays: great to hear from someone sharing the same lovely heat horror!! Hardly leave the flat during the daytime, feel like the mad recluse woman kept in the attic! I know curry is supposed to help but just not sure I can face anything hot!

Jealous of everyone bouncing on their fit balls, wish I had bought one now!

Inbl00m · 30/08/2014 14:24

Congratulations TheOnly, you must be incredibly a bit shocked but hope you're managing to enjoy newborn time! Flowers

Mumblepot26 · 30/08/2014 14:47

39+4 and feeling everyone's pain....just want my body back now

Hatetidyingthehouse · 02/09/2014 10:03

6 days overdue now and looking after toddler. Fed up

Hatetidyingthehouse · 02/09/2014 10:04

Although the text messages asking "any twinges?" are really helping

rosiegal · 02/09/2014 12:08

38+2, mega fed up today. Got annoyed with dp for having to go to work and leave me alone! Am now sulking alone in my bedroom with a book and laptop, have just polished off a huuuuge bar of Galaxy. This is my first so I'm well aware I'm likely to go over. I'm also worried that if I keep eating the way I have this last week that will be another stone I have to lose, I cant help but give in to every single craving I have. Please baby, arrive soon!!!!!!

Twizzletoes · 02/09/2014 12:15

Due today and totally fed up.

hmmmum · 02/09/2014 12:48

Due on Friday. Really glad my toddler is going to nursery tomorrow - am not a very fun mummy to hang out with right now!
