36.2 weeks pregnant and feel like i'm gonna explode! Can't do 4 more weeks of this...

[xenabelly]

Hi all

Just want to have a moan really (which i know I shouldn't cos am dead excited about baby and have tried for ages for it and pregnancy has been pretty good in general) BUT I am HUGE!!!

I am so uncomfortable, every kick makes me want to wee so then I have to haul myself upstairs to the loo on my poor feet and knees. Am sooo tired all the time but can't sleep cos every position is uncomfortable or I'm up for a wee every 10mins!

Am feeling a bit ratty, hormonal and a bit under the weather as well.

Keep hoping that the baby will come early but think that's really bad cos that's wishing for a prem baby then isn't it?

I feel like a disabled person,can't pick DD1 up or play with her very well and just seem to spend all my time 'having a lie down'. Poor hubby is being brill but is like my personal slave and feel dead guilty about it.

Roll on 40wks...

Anyone else at same stage as me and can relate?

OMG I thought this was me posting ..!! Im 35 + 3 and I am exactly the same.
Then I feel bad when people say : oh you shouldn't wish this time away. .

Im the same as you with dd and today has been awful. I have been like a bear with a sore head and want to go to bed and wake up and do today all over again..obviously in a better mood. I so want to play again with dd and to not feel like a ranting mad woman with her but its hard. Came into the lounge today to find she had smeared nappy cream EVERYWHERE..........................................................................

My sympathies totally.xx

I'm 30 weeks and counting the weeks down now. I don't know anyone who doesn't get fed up at the end, I think its natures way of making us actually YEARN for the pain of labour to start!

I know how you feel. I was the same with ds2. Do you post on an antenatal club thread? It's wonderful for the soul to moan with others in the same boat. At least, it helped me get thru it

I could have written this post, I feel miserable and I'm 33+5.

I just said to my H that I can't believe I was still working fulltime until I was 36 weeks with my first, and doing various NCT/parentcraft classes in the evenings.

I'm like you, I just want to lie down all the time. Sleeping badly, no energy to do anything. I'm dreading my H going back to work on Tuesday as I'll then have DS (15 months) on my own. Thankfully nursery starts again on Weds, I'll be there 1 minute before it opens banging on the door.....and picking him up 1 minute before it shuts. But I feel dreadful for that because I should be wanting to really cherish these last few weeks of it being just him.

I'm eternally grateful for needing a medically required section and will be having the baby at 39+1. If I went to 40+9 like I did with DS I would be beside myself.

My house is a tip, ironing basket out of control, cleaner didn't come this week so it's also dirty. Stacks of newborn clothes in packets waiting to be sorted out and put somewhere, no idea where yet. Admin stuff strewn around.

Oooh bit of a major rant there!

I sympathise, I feel the same.
