34 weeks pregnant and really fed up :-(

[Gemmamarie92]

Hi everyone , feel sorry for myself post. I know I shouldn’t moan but I’ve had such a rubbish pregnancy right from the start, sickness all the way through , severe back ache from 14 weeks which I’ve had so many things to try and sort that out (physio, tablets, support belt, acupuncture) nothing helped that so all I’ve done is literally spend all my time at home as I can’t walk because of the backache it’s only got worse as I’ve got bigger aswell. I had to leave work at 25 weeks because of it which I didn’t want to do but had to.
Heartburn is a b*tch Too 😩
And I feel like I’m waddling , baby is measuring big over the line so I’m probs going to have a massive baby, I’m uncomfortable now god knows what I’ll be like in 6 weeks🙈

So I’m literally at home with not a lot to do , I’m so so tired all the time I could sleep all day but I try and walk about the house do some jobs but everything is such an effort. I’m so done with being pregs now! Past couple of days I’ve had period like pains and belly keeps tightening so not sure if that’s braxton Hicks or just something else on top of the pregnancy symptoms!

What do people do for these last 6 weeks?! Something that doesn’t involve leaving the house cus of my back. Tv is rubbish never anything on either! I feel so so useless right now and can not wait for my baby boy to be here!
Anyone else feeling sorry for themselves lol or just me 🙈 ?

I’m 34 weeks and starting to feel sorry for myself too so definitely not just you! Finishing work on Thursday and although I can’t wait (those commuter trains have finally got to me!) I am also nervous that I will get bored in the time before baby arrives, especially as I’m struggling to get about now. Hopefully these next 6 weeks go quickly and both of our babies don’t go overdue!

I know what you mean. I'm only 32 weeks and have had a perfectly fine pregnancy, I'm just bored of it! My partner and I have had a very up and down time of it and it's unclear how things will go after baby is here, so I guess I just want that time to hurry up and come so I have some more stability.

I feel your pain...literally!
34 weeks too and I'm so over this already.
Given the pain that you're in, there isn't really much you can do except rest and do the occasional thing around the house to keep busy. If it's that bad to get around could you ask friends or family to come round for visits? Even if its one or twice a week, will give you something to look forward too.

I'm working for another 5 weeks so will be 39 weeks when I start Mat Leave and today my PGP has spread around my whole lower back and hips. I think it's to do with the baby bump dropping this week as I'm carrying much lower now.

Can you start to get things out and ready for the baby?
Like setting up the Moses basket.
Hospital bag? - I've only just done mine this weekend.

We all go through it at this stage, feeling like you're so close but still some weeks to go. x

@Thegirlhasnoname I’m praying I don’t go over either 😩 the last scan I had at 32 weeks apparently baby’s head really low so I’m hoping that’s a good thing lol. I’ve been finished work almost 10 weeks and I’m only just getting bored now so hopefully you’ll be ok! I’m just sick of doing the same thing day in day out (not a fat lot really!)

Liz3891 I hope things are better when baby is here for you and partner, a little bundle of joy may change things.

Rooroo1012 yes that’s a good idea although I’m not great company all I do is moan probs getting on everyone’s nerves lol, but I have good friends and family like you say will give me something to do/look forward too !
Can’t beleive your working till 39 weeks that’s really good! I can barely get out of bed and still have constant nausea it’s horrible I wish I could still be at work and do things !
Yeah the nursery is pretty much done I still have a couple of things to do so will probs do that this week and I’ve brought the things for hospital bag just need to pack them so that will give me something to do!
Yeah it’s close but feels so far at the same time 😩 roll on end of October! X

I'm 35+4 and just started maternity leave and I completely feel your pain 😩 one tip I'm trying to follow that a friend gave me is to make sure I am up, washed, dressed and ready to go by 9am every morning, even if I have nowhere to go. Just feeling clean and ready for something makes a huge difference.

I'm trying to get out of the house for a couple of hours a day - have a weekly walking date with a friend round a local national trust park, walk to the shop and back usually once a day, I can just about drive so go see a few friends/family locally.

I've blitzed the whole house already but still have all the baby clothes/etc to sort/wash/iron and put away.

I've also got a stack of books to read and a list of Netflix programs to watch before baby is here.

I'm allowing myself a nap a day because my body is obviously craving it (especially from the crap nighttime sleeps I'm having ☹️) but try to keep as active as possible.

Hopefully for all of us, the next few weeks will sail by!!! Thinking of you xxx

Not to rain on your parade ladies but I had a breakdown in Tesco this morning when someone asked how I was .....41 + 4 now and I have had enough! Didn’t finish work until 39+2 so not even been sat at home that long! If it is any consolation my four pregnant friends that were due over the summer all had their babies between 33 and 39 weeks so I suppose that’s only a 1 in 5 chance of being over due if you look at it like that!!

I'm finishing work next Friday at just over 36w. I can't wait and I'm looking forward to lots of lazing but I can imagine it gets boring. Got myself a hard jigsaw to do! Nerdy I know. Otherwise I plan on getting the house clean and ready for baby. I imagine you've done lots already OP if you've been off a while already?

You need a medal Matilda1981! Hopefully baby arrives soon for you!

@sparkles212 Yeah I’ve washed all the baby’s clothes did it when weather was nice I’ve got so many so I’m glad that’s all done and out the way!
Jigsaw sounds like a good idea haha I like jigsaws!

@Matilda1981 oh my gosh I really feel for you and hope baby makes an appearance really soon 😩 must be so hard! I’m moaning and uncomfortable now and only 34 weeks! So I hate to think how you feel bless you !! Fingers crossed it’s any day now, you booked in to be induced ? X

Hi all, being induced at 3pm tomorrow - it’s my third baby so really wasn’t expecting to go so overdue!! 10 days late with my first and 6 days late with my second, was hoping this one would be on time!!!

@Matilda1981 Thats good that your being induced bless you bet you can’t wait ! All your babies have made you wait little monkeys!
Good luck Hun!!

I’ve started to get period like pains and pressure in my bum 😑 what is that does anyone know lol?!
