I’m 38 weeks today. My nausea is back, I can’t sleep, and I’ve had an upset tummy all week Angry I also have a lovely 3 year old who I feel like I’m being a rubbish mom to. I am getting Braxton Hicks which hurt more on a night, I’ve got a dull back ache which I’ve had all week and is worse when I walk, and just gwnerallly feel rubbish!! The midwife said the consultant will give me a sweep next week. Where’s everyone else at?

I’m 38 weeks now too and I am so uncomfortable! My 3 year old wants to play with him on the floor and I feel so guilty telling him no and when I’m at the park I can’t run around with him! I’ve had back ache for a few months which is getting worse and I’m just so ready for baby and willing her to think about coming out now

Me! 37 and suffering from heartburn, nausea, loose bowels, period cramps, tired and emotional. Boobs have gone up about a cup size and are tender like in first trimester again. And can feel the baby coming down, feels like a bowling ball pressing on my cervix Confused

It's my first baby so hoping this means things are moving towards labour but also heard I can carry on like this for weeks Shock I'm just so keen to meet her every day feels like a lifetime!

38+2 up half of last night with Braxton Hicks, feel like I haven't got anymore room left, stretch marks have suddenly appeared. No energy at all. Ds just turned 2 has chicken pox!

I'm 38 + 4 and feel the same.

Getting fed up of waiting now - I have no problem being pregnant it's just the not knowing if each and every pain is the start of labour lol.

Am hoping that she'll be here soon but not holding out much hope as all of my others were late but I've been having period type cramping pains for the last 3 hours every 15-18 mins so who knows however I have a feeling that it's just my body playing tricks on me again.

It'll soon be over and we'll all have our little ones to kiss & cuddle xx

Eeeeeek2, have you had chicken pox already? Heard it can be quite dangerous for pregnant mums to be around.

Sorry we're all so uncomfortable but glad we are all getting close xxx

39+3 here! Have a bad back, feeling lots of pressure and the occasional shooting pain down below, can’t sleep, can’t get comfortable and generally feeling fed up!! BH have been increasing the last week or so but I’m not really sure that means anything! Really hoping I don’t go too far overdue. Sending Flowers to you all!

Yes I've had chicken pox thankfully, first thing I did was ring midwife and check. Apparently even if baby makes an appearance before ds clears up the risk is low as my immunity would cover baby.

37+5 here! Absolute hate being pregnant. It's not for me. Very envious of all the people that make it look glamorous and easy.

I'm on crutches for SPD, can't walk or move really, have horrendous acid reflux that keeps making me sick, full of a cold so I can't breathe and because of that I keep getting awful tension headaches. DP is doing his absolute best not to huff at my incessant whining but patience is wearing thin for us both.

Hurry up babies!!!
