So exhausted and whingey. 35 weeks

[Ahhitchy]

Feel free to give me a virtual slap

I’m 35 weeks (due 11th Feb) not going on maternity leave until 8th Feb as I only get SMP and I’m just exhausted and stressed about work and the upcoming birth. I can’t even book time off work as there is too much to do and I’ve got to train my replacement who starts today.

I’ve also got two exams next week. My hospital bag & the baby’s hospital bag is about 75% complete and I’ve still got loads to do to the house but I’m just so exhausted.

How the hell am I going to get through the next 4 weeks and 4 days

If it makes you feel any better I'm due 2 days after you and am currently trying to plan a house move (currently scheduled for 2 Feb) so hospital bag yet to be tackled! The last few weeks are a bit tiresome (not sure if it's your first?) but it won't be long until you have a little person in the family. In the interim lots of Netflix, box sets and resting. If only work would go away.....!

Wow your brave

Yeah this is my first (can you tell!)

Yeah I think it’s mainly the work issue that’s bumming me out :/

Or stupid!! We were supoosed to be moving in December but builder living up to stereotype.

Work is depressing - everyone picking over your job, numerous toilet trips and as for commuting - urgh!

Hang in there though - I am counting down the days :)

Ouch sounds like hard work.
I’m 33+4 and absolutely shattered I am off work as I may need to be induced early (high risk pregnancy and consultant led)
Today I have woken up with the most horrific cough I am sending DS3 to Nursery as an extra as I just want to go back to bed!

It’ll all be worth it!

Ahhh feel for you! Good luck with your exams, is there any family or friends that you can call upon for help in tasks or jobs around the house or general baby prep?

Hopefully the next few weeks go quickly for you so you can put your feet up.

I'm currently struggling to get bits and pieces of work done before due date 26/01 but just come down with a wretched cold and done something to my back - all fun and games!!! Uhh!
