Don't want to do this anymore!

[Chickenfillets]

Need a massive rant!!
I'm 36+4 and I just want this baby out. I haven't slept for days. I wake up every morning feeling like I want to cry. Every single part of my body is aching. I seem to be having really bad mood swings and taking them out on my poor dp. I feel like I'm running out of energy and that I can't do this anymore. Am I being really selfish or is this normal? Iv loved being pregnant and cannot wait to meet my little bubba but I don't wanna do it anymore!!

Totally normal. It's common to have a huge surge of one type hormones at this stage.

Do whatever you need to do to feel happier and more comfortable. You don't have to please anyone but yourself right now.

Oh OP, I feel you on this! I'm 35+5 and I'm getting fed up.

I nearly cried in the toilets at work yesterday because I'm sick of feeling like I've been punched between the legs and in the ribs all at once. I had a scan on Tuesday and the sonographer was all "those legs are so high, oh your poor ribs!" and again I nearly cried just because someone was validating my pain!

Luckily it's my last day at work tomorrow, which I think will really help. Are you working? Do you have the respite of maternity leave to look forward to?

36+1 here too and I feel exactly the same. Can barely walk about, pelvic pain is horrendous at night and just really swollen everywhere! the thought of maybe going past my due date fills me with dread!!

Totally with you. 36 weeks today. Terrible reflux, ribs under constant attack! And I can't really rest with a boisterous 19month old to look after! Partner is getting bombarded by crazy hormonal mood swings, one second I'm grumpy and mean, next I'm sobbing from wanting it all over! Thankfully----the end is in sight. We just need to get there.... If whinging is how we cope-so be it. :)

Hello everyone!! I'm 36 weeks today too secondtime!

Acid reflux is my main issue......... It is hell!!

I want an 18 month gap second - is it mental or brill?

We can do it!!! Just really don't fancy going overdue :(

Pregnancy is definitely tougher with a young toddler, but I think the age gap will be great when they're old enough to play together and fingers crossed they'll be close friends! As much as this last stretch sucks---I wouldn't change my choice for the world!

I'm hoping I won't go overdue. First was on his due date. Hoping little bro is just as punctual. :)

I am DEFO praying I do not go overdue. I can't cope any longer than I have to. I'm also getting massive kicks to the ribs as from the scan bubba has long legs. Can't even drink a brew without having a burning feeling right down my chest. Luckily iv had quite a good pregnancy but now I just feel so heavy and drained. Not long to go now though for us ladies. Be all worth it in the end

37+4 & exactly the same. I literally cried all day yesterday I was that tired & fed up

Only 31 plus 4 but can I join the rant? SPD is causing me agony, can't sleep and just feeling so so grumpy! Due date is two months today and it just feels like an eternity away. I feel about 100!

Same here 35+5. Also have a 20mo who generally deprives us of a proper nights' sleep. At least I finished work today and treated myself to small glass of wine.

Hmmm

Did feel like this couple of weeks ago, was thinking this is the end, originally planned to work as long as I could so only planned to take off 1 week before due date. But then I said no, cant do this, have to go off earlier.

But things changed. I am feeling so great, for about past 2 weeks so I stayed at work. Rib pain had receded, acid reflux almost not existent anymore, regular bowels, SPD significantly reduced once baby engaged.

Still it is agony to get in and out of bed, but I am able to sleep through the night, except 1-2 bathroom trips.
Im way less tired, more energetic.- might have to with the wonderful spring weather.

So there is hope for all of you suffering, perhaps you will hit period of your good days again.

35+1 here, wicked SPD, have been virtually housebound since Christmas. This morning I woke up extra early because I was in agony no matter what position I tried to lie in. Turning over in bed is agony too.

Booking an ELCS on Monday, after which I will be counting the days!

Zahrah, how many weeks are you? There is hope things might get better?! I was told that Spd won't improve now. Hoping the NHS were lying!

I'll be 39 weeks tomorrow and while I really don't want to be pregnant any more, I'm really worried about the next bit too

Helen

Im 38 weeks plus some days.
I noticed SPD definitelly got bettter last 2 weeks or so.

Still have pain if standing on one leg and turning in bed but no longer pain when standing up from sitting position, going up the stairs and some other movement. I think maybe baby's head down low is making the pelvis more stable? I feel her under my pubic bone.

The engaged head adds some discomfort in terms of feeling like you are carrying brick between your legs and pressure on the bladder but just git used to it somehow.
