38 weeks and fed up...anyone else?

[RosieEffect]

Just that really.

My complaints include:

-horrible carpal tunnel so doing anything with my hands is difficult/painful including but not limited to: eating with cutlery, combing my hair, putting in/taking out contact lenses, and oh yeah...wiping my ass. Additionally I tried the perineal massage as I'm scared of tearing, couldn't feel at all what I was doing until occasionally a finger nail would jab me in the vagina or asshole, so had to give that up.

• dh told me that while he's not repulsed by me he doesn't want to have sex with me (hasn't for the last couple of months and to be fair I don't feel sexy at all)

• I had to also give dh a firm talking to about how he is not allowed to hang my giant granny pants that I've bought for after birth out on the line after seeing them flapping in the wind

• I have loads to do to get ready for baby but no energy to do it

• I'm starting to panic about how I'm going to lose the baby weight as I've always struggled and know I've put on too much

• on the feeling massive page, I ripped my most expensive maternity jeans (low point)

Just feeling sorry for myself today. Anyone else want to join my pity party?

I'll happily join, I'm due on Friday with my first child.
Me and my partner don't sleep in the same bed anymore cause it's too uncomfortable. I feel like we're drifting apart from not going to bed together at night even though we don't do anything anymore. He would sometimes turn over and just put his arm on me, which I would then move cause his arm was too heavy.
He tells me I'm fat which he says he's joking about and I'm sure he is cause he has a stupid sense of humour but I'm just over it now. I'm quite lucky that I've never really been big but I've put in nearly 3 stone this pregnancy which is so weird for me to be so big/heavy, I'm dreading losing the weight after and scared that I'm just going to be saggy as hell if I manage to lose it and he just won't find me attractive anymore. I've always been quite self conscious cause of a RTA I had 10 years ago and I'm covered in scars so being fat too isn't doing my confidence any favours at all ☹️.
I'm in so much pain, stabbings into my vagina/pelvis, stomach tightenings which hurt so much cause I can feel the scar on my tummy stretching to hell I feel like it's going to rip open sometimes, backache, I just want this child out, I'm so over being pregnant now.
I have worried that when he arrives my OH is just going to be shit, he has a very demanding job (we live where he works as the house comes with his job) so he is and can be in and out sort of as and when but I just feel he's going to make excuses to not come home etc or whatever, he sleeps so much in his down time I'm like when am I actually going to sleep .. ever.
He also goes on a fishing trip to France in March when baby could potentially only be 2 weeks if I go fully over due, I have never changed a nappy before nor cared for a child so I am literally going into this mother hood thing blindly and worried if I'm actually going to cope. That with the fact (for his job) we have 12 dogs that will need walking feeding and cleaning out twice a day while he's away too. I'm hoping I can get family to visit over the week so I can even just let them have a cuddle while I run and feed the dogs etc..
Rant and moan over xx

emma911030 I also worry about my dh and whether he will step up. He also has a demanding job, works shifts, and has shown little to no interest in this pregnancy. He just keeps saying it's not a person yet so there's no point in talking to bump, touching it, etc. I hope it will be like when we got our dog where he wasn't keen at first but now adores her. I can't believe you are taking care of 13 dogs! I'm finding just the one a lot to handle at the minute. It shouldn't be too much longer for you now. Fx baby wants to arrive this week.
