36 weeks and feeling like a knackered hormonal whale. Tell me it's al worth it.. please.

[AuntLucy]

Title says it all.
I'm enormous.
I have the ballast and turning-circle of an ocean liner.
I can't get anywhere near my feet or my nethers - putting socks on requires contortions that dislocate limbs. God knows my lady-garden must be like the Amazon basin now.
I have a constant headache and my mouth tastes like I licked the bottom of a parrots cage.
I can't remember any words.
I have to go bed by 8pm then spend all night dragging my sorry-arse to the loo and back or waiting for madam to stop kicking me in the ribs.
I have to try about 6 parking spaces before I find one big enough to squeeze my bump out of the car door.
All foods with even the slightest acidity - even a damn christmas satsuma - are like pouring battery acid on my constant heartburn.
Tell me PLEEEAAAASSSEEE that I will forget all this when the baby comes 😭

Hi OP I'm 39 weeks but could have written this with the addition of skin tags on my nether regions (no one tells you about those during pregnancy) and piles!!! So fed up and just want my body back. I'm a FTM so no idea about the overwhelming rush of love that makes you forget it all when they arrive but I am totally with you at the minute. At least we haven't much time left! X

Not only will you forget it but you'll look back in a few weeks and wonder what you did with so much free time. Currently 38 weeks with a 13 month old and count down the minutes to my DDs nursery 2 days and to the weekend when I get to have a bath & nap in peace. On the plus side you have the next 4 weeks to occupy your mind with the fun game of "is this labour"?! Which I'm still playing now with number 2 even though I know it isn't. I'm just overly optimistic (desperate)!

This really made me laugh! Feel for you OP... although living most of this too right now 😂

I feel you!! 38+6 and just so uncomfortable.

Been playing a game of “twinge or wind” all weekend, trying to work out if it could be the start of something or just a fart.

Doesn’t help the amount of messages from people “just checking in” to see how I am. I’d rather they just outright asked if I was in labour yet.

I honestly cannot hack another possible 3 weeks of this.

Well pregnant 3 times 2 children and never made it to 36 wks so your doing better then me.
