Is this what full term is like? 38 weeks, tired, emotional wreck

[sphinxster]

I'm 38 weeks tomorrow. DS was prem, EMCS. Have a ELCS booked for 40 weeks.

Have been getting cramps and increasing discharge (lovely) for a few weeks. This last week they're definitely getting worse. The cramps are starting in my back and radiating down my legs, the discharge is heavier and browner. My pubic bone feels like it's been attacked with a sledgehammer. I think the foetus is head butting my bowel. I've been feeling quite tired for a couple of days but today I feel like I've hit a brick wall. I'm so so very very tired, I can barely function. I've spent most of the day crying about how tired I am.

I never made it to full term with DS, is this what it's like? Have I really got two weeks of this?

How's everyone doing?

Due tomorrow, thinking of popping my ball... well I would if I didn't think it would blast me into the middle of next week, which...thinking about it would be a good idea cos I have a sweep on Wednesday!

@Glitterbaby17 The hen do sounds like a great idea in theory, the reality probably very different! For instance I managed to run today. Yes, RUN! Ok, it was only down the street to get my daughters school bag from the house but I actually had the energy to do it, so you never know!

(I am knackered now though )
