37 weeks and I feel like I will pop

[Justasconfusedwithnumber2]

Anyone else? My belly is so tight, and it's so painful to move now, with pressure down below I literally feel like I will burst and after 3 hours of what felt like strong contractions at the weekend, I feel disappointed that it hasn't happened yet. Sigh.

no helpful comments from me im afraid, im 35+1 and ready to pop. (big baby apparently)

only thing I keep thinking is, end is in sight. (C-section at 37 / 38 weeks) MASSIVE SIGH.

You have my sympathies x

Ah yes I have a c section in 16 days. 16 looooong days. Not that I want to be in on Christmas day with a 2 year old mind.

Felt like that with my first and he arrived at 37+4 so you never know! Currently 28 and my stomach already feels like the skin will split but not got that down there pressure at least. Hoping this one is early too!

@Ibizababyy that's exactly how I look and feel, like my bump is going to tear open. First baby, no stretch marks at all and no issues. This one, a few stretch marks appearing now but my bump is looking red, thin and bloody awful tbh. I'm not small, but the bump looks gargantuan and swollen. I am apparently only measuring one week ahead. My last baby was born at 42 weeks, there's no way I could make it that far like this! Ah well, nothing I can do but wait....

35+1 here and exactly the same I don't know how he can grow anymore he sure has no room left... Measuring 4 weeks ahead have been since 24 weeks and baby is est 6lb 14oz last week 🙈 I still have till the end of January my back hips and legs cannot take this weight much longer. I totally feel for you! X

Ditto!
I'll be 37 weeks tomorrow and honestly feel as though my tummy has been inflated. Baby measuring on the larger side and the last 4/5 days it feels like they're almost constantly stretching which is even more uncomfortable on my hips. I've been struggling with SPD and can't wait for that to ease up either!
