37 weeks waiting for baby, stomach is so solid and uncomfortable now where baby is measuring on 91st percentile and already over 7lbs! Any tips to get ready for labour or anyone else waiting now? I'm going on daily walks and bouncing on my ball!

36+5 and I'm waiting too. I'm getting regular Braxton Hicks everyday which are growing in intensity each day, but they are all over the place and no regular.
I'm doing the same as you, walks and bouncing in my ball.
Trying to get some naps in too!
I was in hospital on Tuesday and I'm in the latent phase so frustration is really setting in as I know he's nearly ready to come but now things have 'started' I just want him to come now! 😬😬😬

Sex. All the sex ..... which I know is definitely not what most women want to hear at 37 weeks lol

I wish @SqidgeBum my DH hasn't been near me since I was 17 weeks pregnant!
If that was an option then that is exactly what I'd be doing! Haha! Sadly alternatives must be sought! 🤪🤪

38 weeks today. So ready for baby to come already! I’m bouncing on my ball, walking and drinking raspberry leaf tea.
Doesn’t help my consultant told me most likely I would have baby at 37 - 38 weeks as had previous baby at 36 weeks, so I feel overdue already although it could still be a couple of weeks!
Think I will try sex this weekend.

I'm also 37 weeks and ready for baby to come out now! I lost my taste and smell 5 months ago and still can't taste/smell anything, or if I do it's horrid chemical or meaty smell/taste. Been told it's not covid but pregnancy hormones so I'm praying when baby arrives it'll come back!
Getting braxton hicks everyday for like 3 weeks now! Scary to think it could be another 5 weeks! Shock

37+5 for me 😊. Feeling comfortable enough but just bored of waiting! If baby moves and it feels like he's headbutting my cervix I'm like yayyy but then that's the end of it 😂. Eating dates every day, raspberry leaf tea and bouncing on the ball but not convinced it's done anything yet. And thankfully DP is still happy to have sex, although again not convinced that's going to help! Reckon baby is staying where he is for a bit longer!

37+6 here.

Don't have an exercise ball as I have a cat... He popped my last one. I'm booked in for a c section at 39 + 6. Nervous I'm going to go into labour before as I'm having contractions every day which happened last time for about a week before full labour started. DS1 was 10lb.this one is weighing in at 7lb 9oz at the scan I had last Tuesday so another big lad. Confused

36+5 here, just went on Mat Leave today - I have a feeling I’ll be over and another 5 weeks of this feels like it will last forever! Just going to have to find ways to keep myself busy!
