Fed up & emotional just need handhold!

[SlB09]

Im 39 weeks pregnant, massive, have really bad pelvic pain which has left me basically housebound for the last two weeks and the last two days I've been so emotional Ive cried quite abit which just isnt me. On top of this I am becoming irrationally upset that I've had to cancel meeting up with a group I met through antenatal class a few times now and feel 'left out' of a circle of people I dont even know!!!

I know its all irrational but just need some good words from anyone whos been here! Im starting to go abit cray cray

Sounds like you are ready to have this baby and it will all be worth it when baby comes!
I think you are doing really well- I am struggling at 37 weeks with it all and don't know how I'll ever make it to 39 weeks, let alone 40 of if he's overdue!

Thanks Lwarnock, the realities of this baby malarky!

feeling your pain, I cry over everything lately! I'm 36+2 and so ready!!

I agree with previous poster I cant imagine the possibility of going over to 42 weeks.... that would be 6 more weeks of this!! Going to my due date seems long enough!!

I know how you feel so unfortunately nothing but sympathy to offer. 39+6 today. Contractions nearly every night that fade away into nothing. People seem to be having babies everywhere and I'm at home with no baby! I'm a teacher so have been off work since 32 weeks when summer holidays started and I'm now going stir crazy at home! Also totally understand the emotional thing, I keep crying for no reason or a very minor reason. Don't know how dp hasn't told me to get a grip yet!

Nothing but sympathy here. I'm 37 weeks and after being consultant led due to risk of pre-term labour, it now appears baby is very comfy and won't be making an appearance any time soon. I'm still being sick every day, and my hips / groin is killing me. I'm trying to keep active to persuade baby to come out, but after the school run, walking the dog and a food shop this morning I just want to curl up and cry. My friend has just text to say she's nipping for a brew on the way to pick up the kids and my house is a mess and instead of curling up and sleeping like I want to do I'll be cleaning and ironing. I'm just sat looking at my shopping at the minute trying to build up enough energy to put it all away. I had some crazy plans about batch cooking today. That will NOT be happening!

Haha 10storeylovesong that is an ambitious day you have planned!!! The last day I had like that it took me 4 days to fully recover! Bluesky45 my husband keeps saying 'not long now' and 'only a week left' I could literally punch his face (oh im angry aswell as crying hormonal by the way!).

SIB09 mine keeps saying 'he'll come when he's ready'. Yeah, not helpful!!

So good to hear it is not just me that is finding this hard! Bluesky45- I am a teacher too and the boredem is killing me, but I am struggling for motivation to do any major cleaning (nesting is so not happening for me). Currently on my 3rd cup of rasberry lead tea today while bouncing on the ball.
I do have flu like symptoms though- whih is apparently a good thing?!

I know how you feel about the pelvic pain. Could hardly move and only way to not hurt was to lie down. A week seems like a lifetime when you are feeling like that. I finally had mine at 40+2 today. No wonder my pelvis was painful. Was carrying an 9lb baby! Hope all goes well.

sympathy and wishes for labour for you soon. Also having pelvic pain and finding it frustrating and isolating. I'm sure you are use to being busy and able to do all the things you want and now just sitting on the sofa is the hardest thing. Someone just has to give me a sympathetic look and I cry! I am convinced my baby is going to be early which apparently is a sure fire way for them to be overdue! X

Congrats angelopal!!!! It all makes sense for you now carrying that weight around!!! Lovechild2016 isolating is such a perfect word, when I started mat leave I was fine and could essentially potter on albeit abit slower and got tired but theres only so much day time TV a person can take! Im feeling a little less tearful today but Ive made a real effort to try and keep my mind busy with 'sitting' activities, boring things like household admin etc but it has helped. We genuinely should get some kind of badge each trimester once we've made it through!!
