Nearly 39 weeks.... Fed up.

[cocodash]

This is just basically a rant.

I'm 38 + 5 with my first baby
I finished up for mat leave 2 and half weeks ago, I'm bored, fed up, uncomfortable, easily irritable, teary... Etc (on plus side house is absolutely gleaming)

My plug came away last week, baby has dropped, I've had loads of uncomfortable braxton hicks, fanny daggers all day long, pressure on my vaj is insane, lots of wee painful crampy twinges.

I've been bouncing on my ball, I've been out loads walks, I'm having sex daily, I'm eating spicy food

And I'm STILL pregnant and this could go on for another 3 weeks 😭

Meh.

Anyone else in the same boat?

Yup, also 38+5 and I am just so done. Constant BH, everything hurts, house is gleaming, bored out of my mind and analysing any little twitch!!! First baby and hoping I won't go overdue 🙁 bouncing on ball, sex, walking etc etc! Sending hugs x

I’m 32 weeks and I’ve had enough! This is no.2 though so the house isn’t gleaming due to DD

DD didn’t arrive until 41+4, so hoping no.2 is won’t hang on quite so long....

Also 38+5 with baby 3 and fed up!!!

I'm so glad it's not just me!!

Team yellow for us too!

Keep getting wee crampy pains and getting excited... Just for them to disappear into nothing 😕

And if baby has its daddies punctuality il still be pregnant at Christmas as DH is late for abso everything lol

@cocodash my OH is the same! Does sweet fa until the last minute then suddenly springs into action to get things done! I think sometimes I imagine the pains and niggles because I'm so impatient...

@moses92 I think the same that im imagining pains as well... Wishful thinking lol

I just hate all this sitting around waiting for something to happen.

Everyone keeps saying relax and enjoy it.... But I'M BORED lol

39+5 and 😫😫😫😫😫😫😫😫

39 weeks today! Fucking miserable. Hoping for a VBAC after a long induction resulting in EMCS with twins at 36+6 3 years ago.
Every day after 36+6 has felt like I'm overdue plus running round after toddler twins is hell.

I have an elective section booked for 41+1 if I don't spontaneously labour before then, I really want a vagina birth this time

@TrixieFranklin I will have an induction booked for 40+6 if I haven't had him by then, I feel like the pressure is on!

Due to GD

Fell asleep watching a nature documentary love island and DH woke me up coming to bed and now I can't get comfy as my hips are sore.

Won't be long till he's snoring away and I'm plotting his death

I've gone straight for the spare room tonight to avoid a snore-fest from DH also

Spent the night in assessment again had a big bleed which didn't look like show as it was very fresh and red, contracting off the scale every three minutes but NOPE, STILL BRAXTON HICKS!!!!! absolutely exhausted mentally and just need this to be done!

@mawof3soontobe ohhh nooooo

Have they kept you in? The braxton hicks are so uncomfortable. I keep getting them at night and the accompanying fanny daggers

I’ve recently learnt the phrase “fanny daggers”... perfectly describes!!

I’m glad it was nothing serious @mawof3soontobe even if that also didn’t mean it was labour. This bit of pregnancy is torture isn’t it?!

@cocodash I’m impressed with the daily sex. I did suggest it to DH and he didn’t jump at the chance (weirdly!).

Tried harvesting some colostrum last night as thought that was supposed to help but nothing!! (DH helped, maybe that’s why he doesn’t want to jump my bones?!)

Due date tomorrow, and then midwife on Weds so need to decide whether I want a sweep or not

@curiousitycenter DH got me into this mess so he can get me out...

Although it's hardly romantic at this stage at all. Basically as soon as his alarm goes off in morning I pounce and make my move and its more of taking advantage of morning glory and instruction DH to put "that" in "here" 😂😂

I think he feels a bit used.

How you feeling about your due date tomorrow? I'm 39 weeks tomorrow.

At most another 3 weeks :)

Currently sitting bouncing on my ball waiting on tonight's love island nature programme.

@cocodash no I never got kept in, I was brought up for another scan this morning and all is fine, still the same level of braxton hicks but nothing is progressing so I'm utterly over life and in a huge huff!

How's everyone? No signs here at all now 32+2

Have crampy period type pains but they aren't painful enough to be sore? And are far to irregular.

Also abso shattered. Slept in spare room last night after DHs low flying aeroplane impression woke me up.

The muggy heat doesn't help either.

My belly has been going into really tight muscle spasms because of the constant braxton hicks! I got two waves of diarrhoea type stomach cramps and got really excited today because that's what I remember contractions to be but nothing again! I honestly do not have another 3 weeks in me if I go to 42w

39+4 today and feeling it in this heat!! Absolutely no signs at all anymore any babies on their way with you guys?

@trixiefranklin this heat is horrific!!

Nothing for me. Not even any braxton hicks today.

Had mw yesterday and she's booked me in for a sweep on Monday if nothing happens over the weekend! Il be 39+6 on Monday.

What's everyone doing to cope with this heat?

I'm seeing my midwife on Tuesday at 40+2 but she hasn't mentioned a sweep so may text her before and ask!

Currently having a cool bath which is kind of helping with the heat, the fan is my new best friend and I got DH to drive me up and down the sea front earlier with the air con on also bought some Prosecco and raspberry ice lollies which are nice in the shade.

Woke up last night with pains that were coming pretty regular. Went back to sleep thinking if it was labour it would wake me up...... Slept blissfully through till this morn 😕

How's everyone else holding out?
