Bored? Uncomfortable? Tired? Excited? How is everyone at term getting on?

[MadamSwish]

Currently 38+4 with my first. Been on mat leave since 36 weeks and feel like I've been pregnant forever!!
Anyone else fancy a good old fashioned moan about waiting for our babies to arrive??

39+1 here. Totally fed up, in pain, tired and struggling with SPD and a 15 month old!

Was 15 days overdue with my first and guessing it'll be a similar road of induction

Keep telling myself the end is in sight so fingers crossed for us all!!

cis you poor thing, I couldn't imagine having to deal with a toddler and SPD this late on in the day.
gem sorry, it doesn't usually get better.

38+6 here, currently wobbling around on my birthing ball in a vague hope of something happening.

Only 8 weeks but extremely exhausted! Hoping energy will return soon and can't wait to find out when my scan is.

Today's my due date and I haven't been as tired since I was less than 12 weeks. I've got a toddler as well and due to cancelled plans have spent the day in the house which she can't stand. Unfortunately though there was no way I had the energy to take her to soft play or a play cafe in the state I'm in. By the evening she was being hellish.

36 weeks today- exhausted and incapable of anything. Signed off work since 29 weeks with vomiting and back pain.

How can anyone say they enjoy being pregnant ???!!!
Beyond me! This pregnancy has put me off having anymore children!

I'm with u Cis. I'm so pleased I'm having a baby but I'm so exhausted and have been ill for 8months. I'm not excited just stressed- but I think I wont believe baby's real until she arrives. I just hope I feel well enough afterwards to look after her.

36 weeks today snap cavetroll!

just as uncomfortable as ever, thankfully getting over a bad attack of gout but the standard sleeplessness, indigestion and back ache is as cheery as ever!

Easter holidays after tomorrow though

39 weeks today and had some period type pain today in my thighs and pelvis but they feel much better with a nice hot water bottle baby is fully engaged so just waiting now

Ooh could this be the beginning of the end for you, feck?? Fingers crossed.

35+4

Trapped gas
SPD
Breathlessness
Fully 100% had enough now

31 weeks tomorrow and the tiredness is sterting to kick in!!
Been keeping myself busy, recently moved house so thats sort of taken over plus been really busy with my business working hard!
Also got 2 small holidays lines up within the next 5 weeks plus friends coming over to stay for a few days - after all that there will be 6 weks till baby comes along (Y)

I was 41 weeks yesterday and think fed up is an understatement. Midwife couldn't do sweep today and the little monkey is in a posterior position. Apparently she says it's definitely going to be a more painful labour due to this and the fact it's more than likely going to be an Induction which is booked for Monday. Who knew pregnancy was this stressful

40+1 and had enough. Can't sleep, constant heartburn and can only walk for so long before gravity pulls my huge bump to the ground! Had an attempted sweep yesterday and another booked for next week. Fingers crossed bouncing on the ball like a maniac will help baby further down!

39+6 today and miserable! Keep getting signs that baby is coming only for them to vanish again. Very frustrating... Fingers crossed we don't have to wait too much longer

Mm ever rains but it pours. Both me and dd have woken up with conjunctivitis now. I'm in agony and haven't slept a wink. This is just what I don't need ontop of everything else. I don't think I can cope with much more emotionally.

34+5 here & feeling like my due date is a million years away & that's if he comes at 40wks!

Nothing more from me. Jinxed things by booking bikini and eyebrow wax for Wednesday :)

38+5 with 1st been on mat leave since 36 wks...bored stiff, exhausted and uncomfortable!

I want to get things done but I have no energy and when I do get out of the house I manage to walk/waddle for 10 minutes and then in too much discomfort I have to go home!

sleep...Ha! I wish! baby fully engaged so pressure and pain in pelvis keeps me up all night.

want baby to arrive soon but scared at the same time! just been told by midwife baby doesn't seem to have grown for 2 weeks so waiting for a scan to confirm all ok.

37 weeks with number 2. I'm so fed up, in the last week I've puffed up all over and my BP has risen. I want skinny fingers and a jaw bone again!!!

I'm exhausted and want to cry for no reason. Haven't even packed my hospital bag

Need this to be over soon. I have thrown up between 6 & 20 times a day since last august.

Took DD to playgroup this morning and sat and moaned about the state of things at 40+1. Luckily most of them have had a toddler and baby and know the horridness. At this point I'm actually getting fairly excited at any little pang of pain in the hopes that it's starting. No such luck so far.

God listen to us lot! I've decided I'm going to plan one thing every day to help pass the time.

Today is a walk along the beach.

I've also changed my due date on my numerous apps and added another 14 days so I know that each time I look at it that will be the maximum time I could have left.

I'm 38+3 and having an ELCS next week. I'm exhausted and grumpy as a result. Still have things to do before the birth (it's DC2 so we've been a bit slack!) and I just want to sleep. So that's what I'm doing!
