I can't do this anymore. It's so much harder this time.

Hello, I'm 37+2 weeks now, I also have a 2.5 year old and I'm really starting to struggle.

Husband at work all day until past DDs bedtime so I don't get much help and DD is enrolled in nursery from September and can't go any earlier.

I feel like I'm constantly going to wee myself and there's so much pressure down below.
I've had sciatica since 15 weeks and I'm just uncomfortable all the time. I can't sleep much anymore because my bump is just so big compared to me.
Midwife says I have too much water, I had this with DD1 too but they are monitoring me more closely.

Finished work now for mat leave & I'm trying to constantly keep the house clean and perfect for a newborn and everything together is just exhausting me this time round!

Is there anything you did to help bring baby along a bit quicker? Did your second come earlier than your first?
I don't think I can last another month!

I am on baby #3 and my youngest is turnig 3 next month. I too feel like this (I'm 37 weeks)!

I'm just knackered all the time trying to do everything while hubby is at work. I am running on empty at the moment, and am at the point where I would welcome labour because of the pain I am in (chronic hip and SIJ pain).

No idea what can help bring on labour, it depends when your body is ready (and baby) but I will say my first qas born at 39 weeks, and my second came at 38 weeks. Though, I'm not sure that they often come earlier/later etc that's just how it was for me.

Hopefully we won't have to wait too much longer 🤞💕
