Anyone up for another 'late pregnancy - misery loves company' thread?

[KitKat1985]

Just that really. I'm 35+1 now and feel seriously huge, and I keep bumping into things. Everything feels like a bloody effort. I have a 2 year old DD who I am exhausted by as she has limitless energy. And I have to pee approximately 8000 times a day.

Part of me just wants this to be over now, but then I also am freaked out about having to cope with a toddler and a newborn, so another part of me just wants this baby to stay a bump for as long as possible.

There must be some other ladies out there in the late pregnancy stage who would like to pull up a chair and have a moan with me? Maybe whilst eating ?

Great news KitKat!

Ah fab news

Congrats lovely, glad to hear you're both okay :) xx

Congratulations KitKat!!

Congrats KitKat! Hope your both doing well, I'm very jealous I'm in horrendous pain at the moment. Think I may have SPD! Hoping my little man comes soon. 38 +2 today

Congratulations Kitkat!
Just found out we're moving house around my due date! And now I have 6 chiropractor appointments to try to sort out my wonky pelvis to encourage the little one to turn round in time for the birth.

Thank you ladies. Any signs of any more impending arrivals? x

Nothing to report on here! Constant lower back pain but that's about it. Will be having a sweep on the 21st if he doesn't come before. How are you and baby settling in? X

Nothing here either. But I did finish up work yesterday and am now on Mat Leave. Yippee!

I'm in hospital. Had the pessary in me since half 5. Fuck it's painful lol.

Ooh Gabby hopefully the pessary will get things going for you soon and you will have a baby (and almost as excitingly will no longer be pregnant)! Have they given you anything for the pain?

Congrats on the mat leave starting AyeAmarok.

Hopefully not too much longer for you to wait either Sophieeleanor. We are doing okay I think thanks. Having some probs with breast-feeding though.

MrsRaymond how are you going to manage the house move? Sounds very stressful!

No signs here although suddenly feeling very emotional about not being pregnant anymore (after 38 weeks of looking forward to not being pregnant anymore!!). This'll be my last pregnancy and I'll miss feeling baby swimming around inside.

Also feeling emotional about getting to meet my baby! I've not been emotional this pregnancy so wondering if it's a surge in hormones which means baby is ready to make an appearance.

Fingers crossed for you Gabby!

I'm in the same boat as gabby, being induced. I'm in the hospital a snotty, hormonal mess. Send chocolate.

Ahh ChocolateBudgeCake I'm in the same boat. This baby was our second and last and I've oddly missed my bump at times the past couple of days.

Gabby and Kittenrush how are you both doing? x

Ahh... can I join please. 41+4. Had an unsuccessful sweep on Monday. Was 3cm dilated then but apparently that's no indication of anything second time round. Went in to try again this morning as last ditch attempt before induction on Monday, but baby's head now not engaged enough so the midwife couldn't do one as risk of cord prolapse. I've been bouncing on my birthing ball all flaming week. Off for another long walk this afternoon. Loads of Braxton Hicks. I was induced early with my twins last time, which wasn't traumatic or anything, I just so wanted a straightforward birth with no medical intervention this time. I'm feeling surprisingly fine and plenty of movement from baby, so thinking of asking to have placenta function checked and monitored for bit rather then induced on Monday. Has anyone gone over 42 weeks?

Wish I could help bump but I didn't go over last time.

Any updates Gabby or Kitten ?

Hi all, can I join please?

39+5 today with my fifth baby and have never got this far into a pregnancy before so seriously fed up and done!! This week I've eaten a tonne of pineapple, forced myself 3 times to have sex, eaten 2 hot Curries, had a long walk, a trillion hot baths and even considered a jog nothing's worked I'm so miserable

Delivered at 5:30am after a lengthy 2 day induction! 9lb1 baby girl! Thank Christ I gave in early and had an epidural. She's not a chubster though, just so long! She's perfect :) hope you ladies are all okay poor girlies xxx

Chocolatebudgecake I had a little girl on Friday. 6lb 6. The induction worked super fast for me. Contractions for 5 hours and then pushed for 10 mins lol!

Oh wow! Massive congratulations Kittenrush and Gabby on your girls. Hope you are all doing well.

Welcome to bumptittybump and tiredmumrighthere!

Congratulations on all the new arrivals!

39+4 here. Not so much as a twinge! Plus I've got a horrible feeling that the baby has turned around because she's sitting higher than ever and the bottom of my bump is all soft and squashy. Anyone else experienced that?

The woman behind the till in Tesco today looked me up and down before going "blooooody hell!! Aren't you MASSIVE!!" So I'm feeling murderous and depressed in equal measures.

Coco, I'm getting fed up of the comments too. Nearly punched a little old lady in the library today. I'm sure my little lady was really low about 38/39 weeks as had a definite waddle and pressure in pelvis. But then she bobbed back up and is
now refusing to drop back despite my best efforts with walking and on the birthing ball. I'm having plenty of Braxton Hicks and 3cm dilated so fingers crossed if she budges will get things going.

Yes coco that's me too. Midwife said baby had moved down and I definitely felt differently (less heartburn and more lung space) but it's moved up again. I don't feel I can breathe again! Very high and hard up top of bump and nothing down low!

I'm getting desperate now. I can't sleep at night and I can't do anything during the day! And Ive felt nauseous all day for the last two days.

39 weeks tomorrow so could still have three weeks of this!

Thank you kitkat

Congratulations to all that have had their babies

Feeling rather desperate tonight, I've had a hot bath, pineapple, and a hot curry already,DP might even get lucky tonight because I'm determined to get this baby out before my due date Monday

Congratulations for all the new arrivals!
