Keeping sane in the last week - tips please!

[mandler]

So this is the last full week - my edd is 18th (next Thursday) but thanks to a recent baby heartrate race I will be induced if junior hasn't appeared by then.
So I know that this is the last full week of pregnancy but I started to feel really down and knackered today.
Any tips for getting through it? (without masses of fun activities, my back is killing me!)
Thanks

Hi Mandler

I'm due on Sat and had been finding all this spare time was getting me down as well so i made an effort to try and enjoy my last few days (fingers crossed).

• Going for lunch with friends - even the ones who work (its really nice seeing them for an hour or two and then they need to get stuck back in to work lol)
  
  
• I have been helping DH with DIY he wants to get done before the baby arrives, doesn't sound fun but its been a good way to spend some together time.
  
  
• Going out for dinner (there is a food theme here) or to the cinema or a show depending where you are, we have realised that we won't be able to just go out at a drop of a hat.
  
  I have also been trying to get to know a few of the mums to be that i met at the antenatal class, we are all in the same boat so it will be useful to have them around.
  
  Hope some of these things help - other ideas are getting the house ready for baby (not very fun ad won't help the back) Sleeping lots - i can't get comfy so that one doesn't work for me.
  
  Enjoy it won't be long till you meet you LO.
  
  Good luck when the time comes!
