32 weeks and ready to have baby here

[WingingIt101]

Just that really.

I’m only 32 weeks and I’m so ready for my baby to get here. I know there will be plenty of comments about enjoying these last few weeks before the madness of a newborn (first baby!) but I’m so tired, achy and emotional all the time! I think the knowledge that arrival is fairly imminent means I’m struggling to focus on the things I need to do before it gets here - work stresses, home bits and regular life stuff like doing the laundry or going to Sainsbury’s!
Mohave others felt the same and what did you do to get your energy up and refocus!

Nothing really - just flumped around feeling huge and tired. You don't need to focus, it's not like staying pregnant takes work just give in to the flump and try to be patient. Your baby isn't ready yet so these last few weeks are so important.

I'm the same 30 weeks we have absolutely everything ready we just finished the baby's room last week so I ended up giving the living room a make over this weekend and cleaning everything in sight got a few new books to read when dcs are in bed anything to pass the time.

I will be 32 weeks on Wednesday and cannot wait for my baby to come! This pregnancy has felt like a lifetime and has been one of the hardest things physically and mentally I've gone through dealing with severe HG. I'm so done and over being pregnant now and know I still have weeks to go!
I'm trying to keep busy with things to pass the time but I'm so uncomfortable, cant sleep etc etc I just want him out and in my arms.

I am the same at 37 weeks. It’s a real killer lol. Every single twinge I get that’s harder or stronger than normal I’m thinking ‘is this it?!?!’ lol

Ahh @yelyahyoung you’re so close!!

Don’t get me wrong I don’t want the baby to be born early that’s not what I mean, just that I’m all fed up and need to get my head back in the game so I’m not a flump at all times (if house doesn’t get dusted and hoovered today I will have effectively become a hamster living in dust but I keep giving in to the slouch!!)

Good to know I’m not alone - books are a good shout!!

I'm 33 weeks and I feel the same! I have an appointment on Thursday to get my date for my c section so I'm hoping it will be at 39 weeks!
It does feel like it's dragging this last bit now.

Lol @WingingIt101 we have all been through that thought process it is totally normal! Of course we don’t want our babies to be born early and possibly poorly... we just don’t like being, as you say, flumps! Haha

Yup 32 weeks today and just over it. Baby is healthy and this has been a much easier pregnancy than first time round but I forgot how long and frustrating the last weeks can be. I'm working up to 39 weeks (part time and desk job) because last time I ended up bored and frustrated. Work have been really supportive though and I work from home one day a week and can increase it if I need to. I've found that having a daily list and just working through it one item at a time has been helpful. It keeps me on track, means I can see and feel good about what I've accomplished and I don't forget things!
Thankfully have DDs birthday party to plan and distract me, then our wedding anniversary so I'm hoping that will take the edge off all the waiting!

I’m only 22 weeks so still feeling fairly nimble but def in a hurry to meet him. But then some days I think I need to be making the most of my freedom! Go from one thought to the other very quickly! Good luck -my friends say the last bit of always hard xxx xxx

I'm 30 weeks, and NOT prepared - in that we have a Moses basket and some clothes and muslins but nothing else. I don't have a clue about breastfeeding, I am NOT ready to look after a tiny baby yet. I feel so so unready.

And yet here I am, sitting at my desk, feeling huge, dealing with horrible cramps (like the worst period pain)in my stomach as it gets even bigger, stressing over work. Dragging myself up and down stairs. Crying all over my dp last night for no reason, and feeling as though hanging some washing out was beyond me :s

I guess I just want to feel ok, healthy, slim again. I need to stop work now I think

32 weeks tomorrow on mat leave already due to just feeling rubbish all the time I'm in a vv physical job it's dragging now this is baby no 3 can't remember it going so slow the two other times think it's because we have everything just ready now done my hospital bags the other day I've been out short walks in the mornings then house work dealing with the DC just want my girl here now

36 weeks with a really difficult pregnancy here (including gestational diabetes, HG and polyhydranimos). Got an induction booked for 38 weeks so not long to go now but woken up this morning wondering how on earth I'm supposed to survive the next 2 weeks, particularly the last week of work!

I hit 30 weeks and became utterly miserable at the thought i could have 3 months left with DC2, but both of mine have been 5-6 weeks early so turns out it wasnt an issue anyway!
