Just a rant really. I’m 38+4, on my first week of maternity leave and I’m so bored. I really wish I was in work, but according to the law here you have to take your leave two weeks before your due date, and mine is the 30th.
I can’t do a lot of the really active things that I’d usually do, like a spin or xfit class, but I have been keeping busy. I did a c section class (my baby is measuring very big and I’ve been told I might have to have one), did a painting, finished my Christmas shopping, been to my doctor’s appointment, met a friend for lunch, yet I’m still climbing the walls with boredom. I can’t seem to get to sleep at night until 1am at the earliest, and I’m woken by my husband going to work at 7am and nothing will let me get back to sleep. I don’t nap (never could). To be honest, I’m not even sure I’m tired. Lying around watching Netflix is not for me. I’d have thought I’d be glad to rest up at this point. I’ve been carrying a baby that is the size of most people’s full-term babies for about 8 or 9 weeks (estimated 8lb 8oz at 35 weeks 😱), but yet I don’t want to rest and relax. I’m just fed up! I’ve to move house next week at 39 weeks and honestly I’m actually glad I’ll be so busy. I feel insane!
On another topic I’d also quite like to smother my snoring, grunting husband who keeps shaking the entire bed with his movements beside me! 😂
