38 weeks can't take anymore

[piperk]

Please say it's not only me. I have been crying my eyes out because I'm just sick to death of being pregnant now. I can't get comfortable, I'm up every hour of the night, I'm restless, im getting shocking sciatic pains and walking is just uncomfortable. I feel like a bad mum to my kids because I'm struggling with everything. Baby feels SO HEAVY I just need him out!!

Sorry for going on just want to know I'm not alone in feeling like this

@boymummy3 congrats!!!

39w here and totally done.
And my toddler has about a gazillion tantrums when I was trying to get him to the CM this morning so I could come to work.

31 weeks here and I swear time has slowed to a snails pace since Christmas! I’m desperate for March. I HATE pregnancy. It’s just miserable.

My toddler went from being relatively cheery & easy to deciding to hit the terrible twos just as I got pregnant. I just don’t know how to parent her tantrums & boundary pushing on 3 hours sleep, juggling a seriously hectic job, about an 8/10 on the pain scale in my ribs and pelvis, ‘serious’ anaemia as my GP keeps frowning at me about & ever present Hyperemesis. I just want it to be over so I don’t feel ill anymore 😭

9 weeks.. 😩

moan over

Good luck everyone - babies will be here soon!

Had my little dream this morning at 2:22 weighing 7lbs ....

Congratulations

Is anyone else still waiting for 'things to happen'? My due day is Monday and I am driving myself nuts. I think these final stages have brought out the OCD in me. My house has never been so clean and organised and I still keep looking for stuff to do. Hope baby comes soon! How is everyone else?

@sidsparrow yep! due on tuesday and going out of my mind. i've given up on trying with these old wives tales (although i did have a hot nandos last night)

@shutupsteph I've been addicted to hot food this whole pregnancy so don't think that'll do it for me. This is DC2 for me. First time I did some yoga squats and that really got things moving - wouldn't do it again! Although I might dance a little...

Congratulations! 😭 I'm too hormonal, can't handle it.
I'm 38+3 but went to 41+1 (induced!) with my daughter so I'm not holding out for an early arrival.
Just gonna sit here for the next 4 weeks eating my pineapple and crying.

@sidsparrow i'm very worried that if i try to squat i will never get back up again 🙈

I feel like this and I'm only 28 + 2 although my sleeping has improved the last few nights but I'm feeling sick all the time again and struggling to move or turn or get off couch I'm huge and worried what size I'll end up I know it will all be worth it though but I'm so done being pregnant .

Anyone had a baby yet? Due tomorrow and booked a sweep for Wednesday, hoping this baby gets a move on asap!

@shutupsteph yes I had mine Saturday. Had a two sweeps one Friday morning and one Saturday morning although I'm sure this is rare my appointments worked out well and midwifes were happy to offer as I was already 2-3cm dilated. I used the birthing ball a lot and cleaned the skirting balls and hoovered. Hope this helps I know how desperate it is xx

Boards** omg total baby brain. I also had sex maybe hence me saying balls

Me too! 35 Weeks here and absolutely desperate to get baby out asap! I cry every day and night about the pain.

@piperk Ah congratulations!!! I'm too nervous to get a sweep. And as much as the waiting game is driving me nuts, knowing what's on the other side is keeping me happy enough on this side. Ok, sleeping is uncomfortable but not as uncomfortable as up in the night, feeding and changing, then waking in a mad panic thinking I've left the baby lying on top of me... I'll take my crappy sleep for now. For some reason as well I really can't be bothered right now so hopefully nothing happens tonight. Besides, got the amazon man arriving tomorrow with some last minute baby stuff.

@Mol5 Are you in pain? Or dreading the pain?
