I want to have my baby!!

[HannahM32]

I am currently 40 weeks + 6 and I feel like I have been pregnant forever! I am trying to keep myself motivated and find things to do, but there is a limit! I've bounced on my birthing ball until I can't take it anymore, knitted more booties etc than I ever thought possible, baked about 100 cakes and topped up the freezer and I'm now getting fed up. I am struggling to do certain jobs around the house as I get breathless easily, so I'm finding going out for walk hard too. I keep meaning to invite friends over for coffee, but then get worried if something does kick off! Does anyone have any ideas/tips to keep motivated in what I hope is the last week?! Thank you!

YAY! Congrats everybody!

Didn't realise others had given birth as well lol congrats all!

How did your labour @Mortigua ?

It was pretty intense probably worse than the other two. He got stuck and they were talking about theatre on and off but didnt need to thankfuully in the end. How about yiu?
How is everyone getting on?im still very much recovering but a bit better each day and totally smitten with the baby.

I've been a mess this time. Labour recovery has been amazing as for the first time (in 4 births) I didn't tear. Bleeding stopped fully within the week! But my pelvis is a mess and I've bad stomach muscle sepatation so this recovery is going to take a lot of physio. Never had these problems before.

Sorry to hear that. Im going to be similar I think as I am still struggling to walk or even turn over in bed. Can't help feeling a bit worried about dh returning to work next week so am trying to do a bit more each day but take it easy too.
