35+ weeks struggles

[cat709]

Hello ladies!

Not sure there is any point to this post, other than to hear other moans / stories.

At just under 36 weeks, I'm feeling like I'm fit to burst. She's so so low, harsh back pains, unbelievably uncomfortable. And I know full well that these signs mean nothing - I could still go all the way to 42 weeks!

The thought of going another 6 weeks with this weight - ahh!!

Just want to hear struggles from other women in the same boat!!

Xx

I'm 35 weeks and miss being able to bend! Tying shoe laces is getting a bit tricky too... Have you got a bump support? I find mine helps hugely with back pain.

Ime you need to enjoy your last few weeks..
Imagine this scenario..
Week end away booked.
5 *hotel.
Tickets to a great comedian.
Dc all sorted at home.
Bags packed.
Car packed.
Decide to try for a last wee (bladder typical of 35 weeks pregnant.)
1 spot of blood.
1..
Just 1.
Due to blood group issue decide to swing by maternity for a check up at 8 am..
Deliver a 5-12 ds at 12.10 pm by emcs.
Ime not a bloody great scenario..
No bloody pun intended...

Enjoy those last few weeks ladies please...

I don't think I'll enjoy any of the next few weeks, there's nothing fun about being kicked repeatedly in the gut while you're trying to eat, sleep, work etc . I'm looking forward to the arrival, everything in between is a means to an end

Mentally you are prepared for change at 40-42 weeks. Ds was my last and I felt robbed of the prep time I mentally needed. Especially with a 6 year gap between dc.. Was quite hard to get my head around tbh... And dealing with a prem baby was a shocker!

@Thirdlifecrisis
I tired the pelvic belt and it helped a bit, but I've noticed the last week things have stepped up a lot in terms of uncomfortableness! I guess after a difficult pregnancy, I'm look forward to my own body back! Are you finding trying to sleep a nightmare?

@Santaiscovidfree
I think it's bittersweet, as whilst I'd love her to come early, I also think it then stops the tasks eg bulk cooking which I plan to do next week before I get too tired. How frustrating for you - sounds like you had more of a mini-moon planned that didn't happen! So little symptoms for you before you gave birth..!
