Irritable and emotional - is labour near? Not enjoying pregnancy

[Babyrowlandsmummy]

I am 38 weeks and Although I am greatful for the little life growing inside me, have not enjoyed being pregnant one bit. 4 months of constant morning sickness (nausea and vometing) followed by what I can only describe as my fanny bone being snapped in half, sleepless nights (having to wake up when i need to roll over thanks to my pelvic pain), constant heart burn and water retention has left me feeling very down

For the past two weeks I’ve had pains in my lower back and stomach. Me and DH think it’s time and then they go away...for days!! The midwife said i was in early labour a week ago. Now i feel incredibly irritated. The irritation wakes me up in the night it feels like it’s radiating out of me. I’ve been incredibly emotional today and been in tears all day. I’m incredibly tired all the time but not sleeping. Did anyone have this before they went into labour? I’m still waiting for the nesting- my bump is so heavy and hips are sore I can’t do much.

I know everyone is different but I just need someone to tell me that I feel this rotton because he’s on his way out!!!

(Although am a day late so hoping maybe just maybe this might be our month)

@Wellfuckmeinbothears I'm sending you positive vibes - I have a lot of love in me right now so have some! Fingers crossed for you xxx

@GrumpySausage thanks I feel quite amazing! 😂 x

Aww Emma that is so sweet, thank you so much! Actually have a wee tear in my eye! Congratulations on your beautiful baby girl, what an amazing labour! Well done you xx

@EmmaJR1 you fantastic smug person 😉🤣 congratulations that is definitely amazing news xxx

Hi @wellfuckmeinbothears took me and my husband 5 odd years to conceive so I'm sending you all our good luck vibes xxx

@EmmaJR1 congratulations!!! Oh my god I would be the same..! We wish to copy you lol xx

@EmmaJR1 How jammy!!! Congratulations. Enjoy being able to wee without fear!

We are finally home in our own beds after two nights in hospital. Just off to sleep now but no doubt I'll end up back on here in the early hours. Got everything crossed for those of you still waiting, and especially for @Wellfuckmeinbothears.

Emma that's amazing!! I'm delighted for you (and very jealous). I got induced at 7pm, been getting contractions ever since but I don't think they're close enough together yet. The plan is to break my waters in the morning.

Currently trying to get some sleep but the girl in the next bed (separated only by a curtain) has been snoring really loudly since 10pm. Not sure how she's in the pre- labour ward if she's sleeping so soundly while the rest of us are squirming around in pain listening to her?

wellfuckmeinbothears what a lovely message thank you and I really hope things work out for you

Good Luck today @2good.

Any news from @Babyrowlandsmummy ?

Thank you all for the positive vibes, no sign of period yet but feeling a bit crampy, trying not to get my hopes up!

So glad you’re home @carringtonm how did your first night go?

@2good how are you this morning? Hope you got some sleep!

Hello, I've been thinking of everyone today. Hope everyone is happy and feeling good. I'm still all zingy and high I think x

Aw that’s lovely Emma. How was little lady’s first night? X

Sorry ladies I've not been on in a while, had to stay in hospital. I've managed to sleep now and we've been discharged so it's all getting back to normal! I'll have to read back and see what I've missed 🙂 hopefully the news of more babies x

Glad you’re home plainK xx

I had a little girl last night (Saturday!!)... we're over the moon . She was 9lbs9
It was tough going with the induction- about 27 hours in total , the epidural after 22 hours was seen absolute life saver!!

Been reading this thread due to pregnancy insomnia but I'm only 31 weeks. Already raging most of the time 
My dd was born at 36wks so I've never had to experience the last month of pregnancy...

Hope the induction went well OP!
Congratulations to those who've had their babies already 

@EmmaJR1 so your first labour was 6.5hrs and second 36 minutes?!!! Can I ask how long between babies? My first labour was 4 hours from first pain to baby but it was over ten years ago... did you have a home birth this time?

Oh congratulations everyone- hope you are managing some rest and enjoying your babies! X

@TheGrumpySquirrel my first niggle was at2 or 3 in the Afternoon but I didn't think it was a contraction. My dd was born at 626pm - I got to hospital - just- and they said active labour was 36 minutes.

It was certainly a shock I can tell you x

@TheGrumpySquirrel it was 13 mths between births x

Ahh thanks ,.. I'm not gonna get my hopes up then as mine will be 13 years between births! Although they do say that your body remembers what to do. If I get a similar birth to last time I'll be very happy.

Congratulations again!

On my way for an induction 😬 xx

Good luck Bump! I had an induction 5 yrs ago today. Had the epidural put in before the drip and it was fine

Congratulations @2good you went 22 hours without drugs I would have lasted 22 minutes!! xxx

Good Luck @Bumpintheoven sending lots of positivity your way

Mamas give those bubbas an extra cuddle from me and ladies waiting .... WE CAN GET THROUGH THIS lol.

Anyone heard from OP hope she okay xxx
