Nearly 37 weeks pregnant - how to cope with final stretch

[Bjones123]

Hello!

I'm almost 37 weeks pregnant and first time mum, just wondering what tips people have for managing these last few weeks!

Pregnancy has gone okay, only anaemia and lots of anxiety on my part worrying about movements etc.

Due date feels so long away and I'm wondering how I'll cope with this last stretch that seems to be dragging. Feeling tired, cranky, a bit fed up, in pain/discomfort and just want baby to be here now so I can ease some of my anxiety!

Any one else in the same boat or got any tips?

I’m 36 weeks, actually feeling ok at the moment. I am counting down to weekly/fortnightly things to make it easier. In between mw/consultant appts/scans, I have been booking a massage or facial, counting down to finishing work. Basically counting down to anything but my due date 😂
