I'm 37+1 weeks pregnant with my second and have had anemia, PGP, and sickness throughout. I've felt increasingly deflated and exhausted as a part of it all. So it's been a bit of a bummer, especially when trying to be chirpy mummy to DS1.
Anyway, over the past week, I've had one good day where I felt like a new person, full of energy, upbeat and no pains.
But apart from that one and very rare day, I've been the most exhausted and depsondant I've ever been. Can barely get out of bed, and want to eat everything in sight.
Today in particular, I've been having some incredibly painful and uncomfortable pains around my groin, pelvis and lower back. At first I thought they were muscular and were coming and going but now it's crippling to get up and down or walk small distances. I tried some yoga this evening and couldn't do many poses I've easily managed in the past and had to be pulled up by my husband as I lay there like a floppy whale.
The baby has also been moving a lot more and I can feel it engaging as my pelvis is heavy and I am frequently on the verge of p*ssing my giant maternity knickers.
Can anyone shed some light? Am I worrying about something that's totally normal at 37 weeks? Or has anyone's labour started this way?
So sorry for the long post. Here, have some 
for making it this far.
