Hi, I am 37 weeks today. This will be our first baby.
I finished work last week but haven't had much time to relax as we moved house last week. Lots to be done, and with Christmas impending it has been quite a stressful time. My husband wants me to relax a lot more than I have been, but I don't want him to shoulder the whole burden of the move by himself and so I've been pitching in as much as I can. So far I think I have coped pretty well. I am not yet ready for the baby though- still very unprepared!! Thought if I could just see Christmas out, I can turn my full attention to baby prep!
However, last night and today I have been feeling pretty awful. I haven't been sleeping well at all the past few nights, and I am tired. I'm also very very tearful and angry and hormonal (mood swings haven't really affected me much during this pregnancy but have been really awful over the past day or two). I am also having a constant, dull pain from hip to hip, like period pain or trapped wind. Braxton hicks every so often but no "contractions" as such. Feel a bit nauseous and a lot of discharge (sorry) but no plug or show so far.
Husband thinks I've overdone it and I have been banished to bed with a cup of tea and instructions to get some sleep but I'm slightly worried things are beginning to kick off. Does this sound feasible? If so, I don't have time to be lying around!
Baby is still kicking away like he usually does, all up one side. I know head is engaged but haven't had much in the way of pelvic pressure etc. I just don't know what to think! Don't want to call in quite yet in case they think I'm a nutjob...
