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 ?

What a poppet Ian0808 congrats!!

Hi All! 34+6 with a 4 year old here, and a DH who works away or at least very late all week. I'm knackered, have sciatica, chronic heartburn, constipation, piles and insomnia. Have put on an absolute tonne of weight and so sick of wearing leggings that make my thighs look like two mating seals when I walk

Feeling terrible that I haven't got the energy to play with DD. Housework has slipped and We're both eating rubbish because it's easier and quicker.

DD was 4 weeks early (but healthy) and despite myself, I am half hoping the same happens again. Really want this baby out before Christmas!

all round xx

Urghhh tummy bug has torn what feels like every muscle in my tummy and pelvis I do not recommend getting a bug at this stage (or any stage for that matter) of pregnancy... just hope I have time to recover some muscles before the big event (sob)

I'm still here. Can't sleep. Lots of Braxton Hicks and cervix pain. So so tired.

Me too had a sweep today and haven't had so much as a single cramp after it feeling so disheartened!

Me too Coco; sweep this morning and... Nothing. Absolutely nothing.

I think BabyAye would happily do another month or two inside.

Stay positive mamas! You've just made a lovely cosy home for your bambinos and they will come out when they're ready. Sending achy/grouchy/knowing hugs to all

Thanks beach! I'm channeling a multipack of pain au chocolat today rather than positivity but you never know!

Aye - I think I might actually be the medical miracle who carries a baby for a full year or something. Baby crumble has definately inherited their fathers lax attitude to time keeping..

Hi all, my little girl was born on the 15th, my due date was the day before and I was so fed up I sent DP to boots for some clary sage oil but they didn't sell it, he came home with a bottle of radox that has the clary sage in it, I had a bath and even massaged my bump with the bubbles, an hour later at 3:45pm I started getting pains and my daughter was born at 9:44pm, I'm 100% convinced it was the radox, I know too well how frustrating it is to have enough of your pregnancy so thought I'd share that with you x

Congratulations tired!

Thank you for the tip I've told DH to pick up a bottle on his way home from work now debating ordering a vat of the neat essential oil on Amazon prime haha

Congratulations Tired! x

Congrats tired!

Sales of radox are about to soar!

Last night I tried curry and sex. Nothing.

Today I have mostly lay on the bed. Punctuated by trips to the loo, a shower, putting the washing on etc. I contemplated going out for a while but decided to lay down and nap instead!!

MIL has had DD all day - bliss! And she bought me a jam doughnut! She's fast becoming my favourite person.

Chocolate that sounds like a bloody lovely day!

Currently sat in my lovely hot radox bath (it also lists castor oil on the ingredients list - every little helps right?) and slaveboy DH has been dispatched to get me an extra hot Nando's takeaway. I'm normally a mango and lime girl so this should be interesting!

Let me know how it goes coco. If it works then I definitely buying some first thing tomorrow!

Watching with great interest (& amusement!)

Hi all.

33 + 1 and awake with horrendous backache on one side that's moving to period pains now.
Currently lay on the sofa with a warm muscle thing on waiting for paracetamol to kick in feeling totally pissed off with such a bloody constantly uncomfortable pregnancy!!

Absolutely knackered. Fed up of being ginormous and swollen and achy and waddling and these bloody braxton hicks!!!!!

The thought of another potential 9 weeks of this is not cheering me up!!!

Moany rant over!!! :) :) :)

Can I join?

37+3 here and I need this baby out!! Have got HG so about to enter my 32nd week of sickness , insomnia, carpal tunnel and feet so swollen I'm starting to resemble the elephant man!

I've had so many braxton hicks in the past 2 weeks, had a bit of a show twice and some fairly hefty period pains and back ache.. and still nothing... I feel my body is playing tricks on me.

I feel ya gummybear! I feel crampy, grouchy, sleepy and constant bachache (and dodgy belly AGAIN)... urgghhhhhh!

39wks today.

How's the Radox going ladies??

Radox - lovely and relaxing but ultimately a fail. As was the Nando's. At one point I think I cried tears of pure spice. Not so much as a dicky tummy! Baby crumble is made of sterner stuff...

So in today's scientific "I'm a baby get me out of here bushtucker trial" (actually bush tucker is a bit too close to home 😳) I'm breaking out the big guns and am off to the shops for some clary sage essential oil. I'm not standing for this insolence any longer!

I fully know how bonkers this all looks and I'm expecting to go to my induction date. This is keeping me busy and making me laugh so it can't be all bad! Can't wait to look back on all this in a few weeks!

Hi happy and gummy! Hope everyone manages to squeeze in a nap today, the insomnia is bloody awful!

I had high hopes the radox would do the trick for some of you! Hopefully the next attempt will do something.

I really wish it was more obvious what on earth was happening at this stage, I hate this "is it, isn't it?" debate! I have been having on/off twinges in my back and right front side of my bump today, no doubt it is nothing but I wish I just knew as we need to phone my parents to look after DD if I go into hospital, and they live 4 hours drive away, so because I need to go into hospital earlier than normal with this one I am panicking in case I leave it too late. I thought I remembered how it started last time but I don't really!

My little lady made an early appearance this afternoon! Good luck to those still waiting

After a fairly pleasant and easy pregnancy so far, can I join you ladies please? At 37+3, I have been plunged into the misery of pregnancy with little warning! Really getting agitated at not breathing properly after the little madam has decided to move back upwards towards my lungs, also inducing acid reflux and lack of sleep. Yeuch.

Congrats MrsRaymond seems like everyone is having there babies now. Still nothing over here and I'm exhausted. Sweep on Tuesday so fingers crossed that works x

Hi all.

Happy Sunday evening!!

Horrible night last night ... awful acid - vomited about four times then struggled with hip pain today.

Had a bizarre incident where I'm still wondering if it was fluid or wee ... hahaha so glamorous this pregnancy lark!!!

Stomach a bit off and the usually back pain leading into braxton hicks ... getting more intense each day but just as I think it's something more, it all fades off.

Still a bit soon though ... but the thought of another good few weeks of this doesn't fill me with joy - the idea of another uncomfortable night is bad enough!!!!!

Grrrrr.

Congratulations Mrsraymond (love your user name!)

Hope you have a better night tonight gummybear

This evening I've started losing my plug but it has no blood in it and I've still not had any contractions. Glad things are ridiculously slowly starting to get a move on but I still think this baby is going to have to be induced DH however is bounding about like a puppy and hoping he can call in to work tomorrow from the labour ward
