Total lack of interest with Xmas

[Bellabutterfly2016]

So I'm 36 weeks, feeling like *hit and have absolutely no enthusiasm regarding Christmas whatsoever. Thankfully we are going to family Christmas Day.

My dad is 3 so I need to get a tree up but if I'm honest I can't be doing with it.

I know that sounds awful I'm just so tired and fed up I don't have the energy

My partner is supportive and said to me let's just do the tree and not the other bits we usually do but I'm struggling to get excited about it all.

I've bought all my presents but still need to wrap some too even that seems like a chore!

Is anyone else feeling like this??

39 weeks and feel exactly the same! We have our tree up (DH did it with our 5 and 3 year olds) but I just can’t muster up any enthusiasm really. Feel like I can’t even get vaguely excited for Christmas Day in case I’m in labour! I’m so bloody uncomfortable too 😩

I feel like this and I'm not even pregnant anymore! I have an 18mo and a 4mo and this is my first Christmas in 2 years where I'm not pregnant so can eat and drink what I like, but I just can't be bothered with any of it!

Sorry just realised typo "dad -3!" That should be dd

Pleased I'm not on my own with this I just feel so horrendously massive and sick I just cannot be doing with it. My mum has had a right moan at me but I genuinely feel really awful.

I've been told they might induce me - I'll find out tomorrow so that's not filling me with festive cheer either!!!!! Xx

Yup me too! I’m 37 weeks. Pressing forward with festivities for the kids (who are 5 and 3), but I’d just like to go into hibernation until the baby arrives now.

I feel like this too and my baby is nearly 12 weeks. I've two older dds that I need to try get some excitement for.
Forget wrapping. Everything into gift bags. Get someone else to do the tree and you are done. Feet up and relax could be any day now.

I've tried to muster up enthusiasm and done some more present wrapping tonight!!!! I've still got afew bits to sort out but I feel a bit further on than I was!!

I've tried the gift bag method before but once I'm on a roll I find that I'm ok with the wrapping (plus have tonnes of wrap and don't have tonnes of gift bags!)
it's just the stress of getting it all done in time incase anything happens but dd's is now all done as is my partners and so he can help me with some of the others tomorrow night.

I've also hijacked my mums online food delivery slot and orders lots of stuff on that coming Sunday so I'm not wrestling with the masses at the supermarket!!!

YANBU. All the nice food and drink is off limits. I stashed loads of stuff and had a second Christmas after I gave birth, with blue cheese and pate and all the forbidden goodies.

I am only 31 weeks and I couldn't give two hoots about Christmas this year. 1 I'm working all around it anyway and don't have any family here is just me and my OH, I put the tree up in hope it would make me feel more Christmassy (my mum was here and helped me so wasn't as much of a chore) I'm due in February and we are due to move home just before or just after baby is born due to my partner being made redundant and our home comes with his job. So got plenty of packing to do as well as prepare for baby. I've barely got anyone anything this Christmas, my OH has already started wearing his main present so even less to wrap and him open ☹️. I'd happily just wallow in my own self pity of stress and just get on rather than do this Christmas crap this year!! Sorry mini rant!! x

I'm so glad it's not just me! I'm 27weeks and normal a massive Christmas fan with all my Christmas shopping wrapping done by November this year I'm still not even completed. Was a MASSIVE effort putting the tree up yesterday and wasn't excited about it.
It's such a horrid feeling. But know you're not alone!

I'm 32 weeks and find it more of a hindrance this year. My family live hours away so the thought of driving there when I'm suffering from SPD and acid reflux is depressing me.
I'd happily spend this one on my sofa in my pjs!

Totally the same here. Im 35 weeks on monday. We havent actually got a tree up anyway as we are having our kitchen done so have a million boxes in the living room.

Ive got some presents but really struggled this year and not even got wrapping paper yet

Hope everyone is ok?

I'm up trying to wrap up presents but loosing the will to live, I'm so tired but it's difficult to do it in the daytime with a very interested 3 year old!!!!!

My house looks like a bomb has hit it too so that's not helping seem to have bags of stuff everywhere!!!! Xxxxx

Bad day today hormone wise my head is all over the place. Pregnancy is super fun hay!

@Bellabutterfly2016 sounds stressful, take a deep breath and you'll get through it. Don't worry about the house looking like a bomb has hit it (easier said than done) and just do little bits when you can. Is there anyone who could look after you're little one in the day so you could get some done then instead of late evening? Hope you're alright xx

Same - 34 weeks. Not looking froward to Christmas at all, just want it all over and done with ASAP.

Can't drink and can't even eat a decent Christmas dinner due to heartburn!

Well, I've managed to talk my auntie into having dd for those afternoon - I've supplied her with ingredients for sausage rolls and mince pies so they'll be having fun doing that!! On with the clearing up and wrapping presents!!!!!

I'm the same and I'm not a far along as you! I'm 23 weeks, my DD has just turned 2 and I'm exhausted and just want to get the hassle of the day over and done with.

DH is working all over Christmas too so the only bit I'm actually looking forward to it the Christmas gammon!

This is the first year I'm not working over the Christmas period and was really looking forward to it being chilled and fun.

Hopefully next year will be easier

My people!

I have a 12 month old and also in 3rd trimester of pregnancy. I'm knackered! Also no interest in Christmas. Went to Homebase yesterday and bought a small fake tree at a discount for £3 which I was pleased with. Looks pretty pathetic though. Usually we go all out and get a real 6/7ft tree.

Have got DD her gift but nothing for DH or extended family we are seeing on Christmas Eve 🙈 Just really really can't be arsed!

So my afternoon of doing jobs wasn't that productive as every time I bent over to clear up/ pick something up the acid indigestion flared up and spent half the afternoon either feeling or actually being sick 🤢

Dd eventually asleep, partner due home in an hour and I feel I have achieved a big fat zero 😬

Love my dd3 so much - however I'm beginning to wonder if another 1 was such a good idea!!!!! I'm feeling tired, ill and un-festive and can't help feeling another baby will just add to the mayhem!

Like a right bag humbug I just can't be doing with it all. Meeting friends tomorrow at a soft play but dont feel like it at all xx

Oh Gods me too! 37 weeks and I just can not be fucked with the whole thing.

I get burnt out over Christmas anyway (too many people, not enough time with just DP and kids) but this year I can not be fucked with any of it. I usually look forward to going to the panto and for dinner with my Dad, his wife, DP and the DC, but its tomorrow and I don't want to goooooo!

I am however, really looking forward to that quiet bit in between Christmas and New Year when I can eat cake, nest and snuggle DP!

I just want to go to sleep and wake up when it's all over - pregnancy and bloody Christmas

I'm honestly so miserable I could cry and it's wrecking my relationship with dp who doesn't understand why I feel like this!

Lol I’m only at 27 weeks and feel the same. I just can not be bothered this year probably as I feel so out of skin! Baked some goodies yesterday though and hopefully bake some more tomorrow or Monday and then it’ll be over before we know it 😂

35 weeks here and couldn’t give a flying hoot about Christmas this year. My dc are 5 and 2 so really trying to get into it for their sake.
Not at all prepared for baby 3 either which isn’t helping my mental state!

Put all your Christmas presents in bags or boxes...so much easier than wrapping a thing!

Im 35 weeks, i put the tree and decs up as normal at the beginning of Dec. I cooked xmas lunch yesterday and cooking/hosting Christmas day too. We've got 3 kids all under 7 so i want to press on for them really. Although i am looking firward to 28th when i can take everything down, put presents away and clean and organise the home for baby arriving.
