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!!!

Sorry in advance; does anyone else have or had with previous pregnancies the overwhelming urge to poo? I don’t need to go but feel so much pressure and cramps

My waters have just broken! 😳 Omg it's everywhere, in bed, at the bottom of the stairs, in the kitchen 😂 just gone through 2 pads. I'm sat on a towel.

Wish me luck guys - doesn't hurt too bad yet. Exactly like period pain. Been having back pain since last night and woke up at 2 with a bad back so had some paracetamol and went back to sleep. I'm petrified 🙈

Good luck plainK!
I'm not even on this thread but was passing through!!
Let us know how you get on!!

Exciting! Best of luck 😊😊😊

@plainK and @Babyrowlandsmummy

Wowsers - good luck - hopefully your beautiful babies will be here in a few hours.

Don't be scared - if they cry they are hungry, sleepy or need to burp! Simples!

@carringtonm have your waters gone yet???

I'm far too invested in all this you know 😂

Omg GOOD LUCK XXX

@plainK omg!!!!! good luck hun! Let us know what you have!! Xxx

@EmmaJR1 how you feeling? Any news? Still feeling irritated?
Thanks for the advice, shitting myself bringing him home! We will be ok tho, he’s mine all mine :) Xx

@Babyrowlandsmummy I'm irritated, HIGHLY emotional, tearful and have indigestion.... I'm avoiding all humans today except my poor husband who bless his heart has asked his mum to bring me some double caramel magnums home! 😂

Are you home? What did the doc say? X

@Babyrowlandsmummy i am exactly the same. Labour doesn't really bother me but so scared to actually have a baby to bring home and look after.

I have my magnum caramel! Things are looking up!

Yummy!!

Any news 🤞

None from me, except I'm hungrier, more tired and more irritable!

Hopefully we have some lovely news from someone soon!!! X

Aww @EmmaJR1 I think your gonna go very soon!!!!!! X

Thanks @chilly32045 I’m glad I’m not alone with that fear. I keep thinking of my friend. She was very spoilt, young and impatient with no interest in kids(she describes herself this way also) and she had three kids. Two twin girls with autism and a little boy and she is the most amazing mum- her kids are absolutely lovely and she tells me if she can do it I can!
We can do this!! Been reading the baby whisperer to teach me how to try to understand what the baby wants and to get him into a routine. Sounds daft but I’ve convinced myself I’m gonna have a cryer so that if he’s good I’m pleasantly surprised but if he is I am (somewhat) emotionally prepared! Xxxx

@Emma I've just been informed that the moron I married is having dinner with co workers... it's our wedding anniversary!! lol so highly irritated lol. It's going to happen for you soon....
@Baby You'll be amazing and if you do make mistakes who will ever know haha 😋 xx

@LuckygoLucy ermmmm does he not realise how thin the ice that he treads upon is???? Fool! He better get you a good present plus an apology treat! X

@Babyrowlandsmummy I assure you everyone wings parenting. It's all instinct - just don't leave him in a shop and you'll be fine! 😂

Hi! Baby was born at 12:45pm today. He was actually born in his waters and they had to be broken once his head was out! He is a delight and we're smitten!

@EmmaJR1 I don't think he realises how close I am to the edge gahhh.... Not sure he is going to last the next few weeks... there best be chocolate involved. Spent the whole day feeling sick but now I want chocolate!! xx

@carringtonm congratulations!!!!! What a wonder with the waters 😁

I'm still sulking xx

Massive Congratulations @Carringtonm I'm so happy for you!! xxxxx

@carringtonm CONGRATULATIONS!!!!

I'm so happy for you, I'm wishing you all the best! How was the labour? Am I pushing my luck asking for a picture? 😂

Sending you lots of 💕 x

Oh wow carrington that's brilliant!! Congratulations 😊😊. That's interesting that he was born in his waters- maybe he'll be a swimmer some day 😉
