38 wks and exhausted

I'm looking for reassurance - I'm 38 wks pregnant and feel so exhausted all the time now that the thought of going into labour is really worrying me. This is DC number 2 so I'm not worried (well, no more than usual) about the actual labour, just that I don't feel I've got enough energy for it. If that makes sense? Argh, someone please reassure me!!

I remember feeling that way with my second, lying in bed so tired and thinking 'if I go into labour right now I'll cry I'm so tired' but once you're actually in labour all the adrenaline will kick in and you'll be fine.
Currently 31 weeks with my third and I'm already feeling that way! I guess I'm just rushing around after another two that I don't have the same rest as I did with the first. Plus you're older now and that must make a difference too.
My second labour was much easier and quicker too. Just try and rest as much as possible and if you feel twinges just try and go to bed and not obsessively count them (easier said than done!)

Thank you, that's what I needed to hear!
