Exhaustion before labour

Is this a thing? Please tell me its a thing.

I am completely exhausted today. I am 39 weeks and i've had loads of signs baby is on the way, nothing has ever materialised.

Slightly concerned I won't get that burst of energy before the baby arrives. I mean I did last week and nothing happened.

Did you get this?

I'm 39+3 and exactly the same. I've had lots of signs including the plug gradually going over the last few days but then nothing.
Yesterday I felt exhaustion that I haven't felt since the first trimester and had one of the best nights sleep I've had in months. Today I'm still tired and unmotivated and am wondering where the energy burst is!

I'm 39+3 and been sleeping a lot past few days - a good nine hours overnight (with the usual pee breaks, of course) and then an hour or two nap! Yesterday I had two naps! Hoping it means my body is preparing for the big event!

I slept all night, woke up when my partner left for work at 7 but was still tired so went back to bed and slept until 1pm. Waters broke at 2.30pm, labour kicked off an hour after that!

I'm due tomorrow. I've had a couple of episodes of really bad exhaustion but generally pick up the day after. On Sunday I couldn't move and then I had a day last week where i just physically couldn't do anything. But I've been fine this week cleaning and littering to the shops. X
