Need a good old whinge leading up to D Day

37 weeks with DC1 (and only!) and cannot bloody wait for this baby to make an appearance! I'm impatient anyway but it's getting worse. Anyone else in the same boat??

Had a string of rubbish symptoms all throughout pregnancy, and currently exhausted, off my food, have constant indigestion, can't get comfortable in bed, hate not being able to run for the bus or cross the road quickly or carry anything heavy, have nighttime pregnancy rhinitis which means I wake up every hour or so not being able to breath properly and spend ages trying to blow nose before going back to sleep, also means I sleep with my mouth open so now have mega sore throat which I've had for a week now, plus have SPD so in pain when walking.

Feel guilty complaining as well because I wanted a baby sooo badly and spent a very long time convincing DP! Now as D Day is getting nearer part of me is wondering what I was thinking giving up nights out, shopping trips, spending time with friends (none of them have kids and I've been pretty left out since being pg and scared I won't really have much in common with them once I'm a mum and they won't be too bothered about me anymore) and putting my career in hold. Also wtf have I done to my body??!!!!

I already love this baby to bits and I know everyone says as soon as baby is born you wouldn't be without it, but I'm just so scared of the massive changes about to take place and sooooo sick of feeling like a decrepit whale Confused

40+3 weeks here and completely fed up with being pregnant, I want this baby out NOW!

I'm so busy being cross at being pregnant still I haven't given much thought to what comes next all I know is I want to meet my son

Is this your first as well smiling? How far past 40wks do you have to go before they induce you?

Me too! 39 weeks today and I have totally had enough. This is my second and most def worse than my first ( Prob as i have a 15 mo th old which makes rest impossible!)
Was Induced at 12 days over with dd and I'm resigned to the fact that I'm going overdue again and Prob having to be induced again Confused

Pregnancy is not nice at the end - SPD here too ( had since 8 weeks this time) , heartburn, numb legs, painful bump, really bad piles ( the glamour!) and generally miserable!
It is all worth it I know but I swear these last few weeks are dragging!

I've got a consultant app on tues as I had a PPH last time and my plan is to beg for them not to leave me so far overdue as last time- I had a pretty horrendous labour and the thought of history repeating itself itsnt helping my general misery!

I hope things happen for you both soon- and good luck!!!! Cherish the firs moments. They are worth every tear, and miserable feeling! ( which is hard to imagine at the mo I know!)

lillamyy1 · 25/03/2015 08:45

Hi Cisforcat! Fx that baby no 2 makes an appearance of his/her own accord!! Has your SPD been really bad? Horrid for you to have had it since 8 wks Flowers

Yes its my first, I have had a very easy pregnancy but I miscarried last year so have found it very stressful.

They won't induce me till I'm 40+12

Cisforcat · 25/03/2015 11:09

It's not been too bad as I've had physio early and I know what I should/ shouldn't do from last time but it's certainly taking its toll now as im pretty much house bound- Probably due to resembling the size of a house!
Yeh I hope he does too- I was induced at 12 days over last time which wasn't an issue, it's just with a bigger baby this time, and history im hoping I won't be left that long this time ( also im really struggling to look after my daughter. She's 15 months and with my hips being shot to pieces I find it hard to lift/ carry and generally do anything with her)

You'd thjnk in this day and age babies would be born with good time keeping lol! Still- as long as they arrive safe and sound and healthy that's all that matters! All this moaning will soon be forgotten im sure !

lillamyy1 · 25/03/2015 13:38

Yes, i'm sure we'll all forget once the babies are here!
To make the wait a bit more frustrating, nearly everyone i know who have kids (not many people but still) have been telling me how theirs arrived early! So I've been half expecting to get to 37 weeks and then start getting labour symptoms. But now I'm here and his head hasn't even dropped!! Hmm

All the people I made friends with at Antenatal class have had their babies, it's not doing anything to improve my mood.

TheOriginalWinkly · 25/03/2015 14:18

My DD was the youngest out of our antenatal groups by a MONTH. I was one massive hot lumbering hippp of RAGE for that entire month. Especially when I went for an appointment at 38 weeks and was cheerfully told 'oh baby isn't engaged, you have at least another week or two to go yet'. I couldn't even speak to DH I was so cross. Now my mat leave is over, sob sob. In a few weeks the horrible bit will be over and time will start flying faster than you can possibly imagine not that it helps you today

lillamyy1 · 25/03/2015 16:08

No, my baby isn't engaged yet and I'm 38wks on Friday Confused
Lots of bouncing on birth ball to come I think.
