Late pregnancy misery and excitement thread!

[inspiredbutohsotired]

Anyone else due soon and starting to wish things would JUST BLOODY HAPPEN?

Pregnant with my first, 37+5 and so excited to meet her. Also feeling very miserable and fed up though, time is dragging on the last couple of weeks and the possibility that it might be four weeks before she arrives is driving me insane!

Back ache, needing to wee all the time, barely sleeping and unable to get comfy, awful acid reflux.

How're others doing?

I'm 38+6 and physically I feel quite good but mentally I am exhausted. Every little BH/twinge/cramp I'm like "THIS IS IT!" but no...

Also, I just want to hide away and not see anyone, just relax in my end-of-pregnancy bubble but with DS1 to entertain and the nice weather means we are out doing stuff all the time. Good job my body feels up to it even if my mind doesn't.

At this point with my first I was in labour and I was hoping it would be the same again but I just know I'm going to get to 42w.

Ooh, having some pretty sore BH right now and I'm telepathically begging this baby to make it the real thing.

I've got everything ready, I'm sure there is nothing else left to do. I just hate not knowing when this baby is going to arrive! I don't need a specific time but the day would be good to know.

what I'm the same with wanting to hide away but I'm doing a pretty good job of it. DD is school age so on a daily basis I'm just doing school runs now. I think it's to do with feeling safe at home if anything did happen.

I'm only 36+2 but I'm being delivered in two weeks time. Physically I'm just a little uncomfortable and mentally I'm ready BUT I'm nesting like crazy and it's beginning to annoy me especially as I know it makes me tired and sore. I'm a bit sad that it won't be spontaneous this time but I'm a planner so also glad.

My biggest gripe is people's comments. Like "your bigger than you were with DD" This is untrue, I'm carrying very differently and I'm actually smaller. "I bet it's hard for you in this weather" talk about stating the obvious!
