Is anyone else struggling at this point? I mean, I know she will come when she's ready, I just hope she's ready ASAP. I am so uncomfortable from being so big (I have back issues and sitting upright is now to painful so I'm mostly layed down in bed), I can't put any pressure on my right foot as I have severe pain in my heel, my skin on the back of my right thigh is sore to touch and I'm more tired then I have ever been in my life. It wasn't this bad with my first! I'm moaning constantly and luckily my other half is being brilliant but how do people get through this?? I was fine until 2 days ago🤣
I had last night what I thought were contractions, they were all about 10 mins apart and super painful to the point I couldn't talk through them.. Then they just stopped and that's it. I just want to moan with people who are in the same boat as me ❤️😁

How is everyone feeling?

Well, I'm not a midwife but I did watch All Creatures Great and Small when I was young so I know ALL about birthing.... If you can just sit on that bale of straw over there, I'll go and get some ropes and a bucket of hot water.....

@Reign21 it really is! No this is my second, what about you?

I’m only 34 weeks but starting to become exhausted so excited for 39 weeks- haha! Hmm

Thinking I should get all the last minute chores done ASAP before I’m too big to move.
Hope you things get going for you soon!!

Just jumped on to say this was me a few weeks ago! had my baby girl at 40+2 (son came a 37 weeks so felt like an eternity)
Not long to go now ladies, you're nearly there!! I honestly felt like it would never happen but it does and you're baby will be in your arms before you know it.

By the way those who are full term look up "the miles circuit" on YouTube. I don't know if it had anything to do with it but I did these exercises and things started happening!

Try raspberry leaf extract. Brilliant stuff. Although best taken in last 4 weeks of pregnancy.

I feel you 39 weeks and starting to struggle. The sheer amount of times i need to wee during the night is awful, once im awake, im awake even if its 5am and i never had this last pregnancy but when i wake up in the morning the searing pain in my groin is agony its lunch time by the time it starts to ease.

Hope baby comes quick for you this last stretch is so unpleasent.

Poor you sounds like you are having a tough time, hopefully it won't be too long now.
I'm not as bad but Definitely struggling too - 40+3 today DD1 came at 40+2 so was hoping this one would be here before that but no luck yet.
All my friends and family were convinced I would be early with this one and as much as I tried to ignore them I think deep down I listened and half expected her to come before my due date and with how huge and uncomfortable I am I was kind of disappointed she didn't!
Here's hoping it won't be much longer for any of us now!!
