Sorry about this, I needed a moan and my friends are sick of hearing it.
I'm 37 weeks pregnant, have come down with a horrific cold over the last week that's knocked me for six, can't sleep (who can at this stage of pregnancy anyway!) SPD is unbearable and today I've woken up with a migraine (blood pressure and temp are fine so no need to worry). It's the last day DP is off work with me and I'm spending it in bed with an ice pack on my head, having to delay a New Year's day dinner, can't even see my dad on his birthday today.
Everyone keeps telling me to embrace this time before baby comes and to relax and be calm and happy but I've spent the last week feeling like utter s**t, no doubt making friends and family miserable along the way. I made myself a list of things to do when DP goes back to work but I'm now putting pressure on myself to get it done asap just in case. I'm desperate to meet baby so I'm getting more and more sad with every passing day that there's no sign as yet but the rational part of my brain knows we have weeks yet, my body isn't going to go into labour while I feel ill and anxious so I just need to concentrate on getting better, but then the other part of my brain is in a vile mood thinking I can't cope with another potentially 4.5 weeks of pregnancy. On top of all of this I know I shouldn't be complaining because I am incredibly lucky to get this far and have a healthy baby in my tummy.
Anyone else just feeling fed up?
