I was feeling EXACTLY how you were OP. Huge, people thinking i was due twins any day and no energy whatsoever. Hot at night even before the heatwave, tummy sore and stretched, permanently exhausted and out of breath, DS constantly driving me nuts. Unable to walk to the shops over the road without getting tired and having to sit down, and I'd started taking the car to pick DS up from school half a mile away because I couldn't walk it any more. I couldn't WAIT for the end!!
Then I went and broke my ankle last week, slipping off a step at 31+0. I'm in a wheelchair, can't get up/downstairs or out of the house without help and to be honest, the pregnancy has taken a total backseat! In a way it's good, because I'm no longer rushing about trying to get stuff sorted for baby's arrival, and I've been forced to sit on my arse all day 'relaxing'. It's not easy pulling yourself up the stairs on your bum with a heavy belly sticking out, so I'm spending a lot of time in bed and internet shopping for baby stuff.
So no real advice, but now that I've got something else to focus on, I actually do feel like all my pregnancy symptoms have disappeared. I'm so taken up with things like what time are my meds due, when is the nurse coming, etc, that the days are starting to fly by, and that's really helping. The Brixton Hicks have stopped, my hips are no longer aching and apart from the pain in my foot, I feel pretty good.
I was driving myself nuts counting down the days to my due date, but now I find myself forgetting that I'm 8 months pregnant. It's mad!!
