I could have written every post on this thread!
38 weeks and desperate for baby to arrive.
Been on mat leave for ages due to bad back and spd.
Constant period type pain in back and sometimes bump. Nope, not baby coming, it's been like that for weeks.
Braxton hicks for weeks then some sort of false labour for a couple of days about a weeks ago. Again, nope not baby coming, just my sodding uterus making me feel even more uncomfortable.
Twinges and stabby pains but again, no signs of baby making an appearance.
Apparently sex will spur things on but I'm now so massive I feel like a beached whale and I honestly don't know if i could manage it. Haven't done it for weeks and weeks due to spd. Not to mention in not sure DH would go for it as I look like a beached whale too.
Been chugging down raspberry leaf tablets for 3 weeks. Nothing happening.
Baby now so big (had a growth scan, she's 90% length) that her little kicks have bruised under my ribs and when she shifts about it actually hurts now.
Can't sleep for more than 2 hours at a time thanks to needing the sodding loo constantly, then getting there and realising it's baby pressing on bladder and I've got no pee to pee out.
Can't drive more than a mile or so anymore due to SPD and Braxton hicks / fake contractions so pretty much stuck in the house all day by myself. DH comes home from a stressful job and all i can do is winge and cry.
I'm honestly so grateful to be having a baby I can't tell you. It's all I've wanted for years. But I'm now a hormonal emotional wreck and I just want her here
