It's too hot
I feel like a beached whale
36 weeks
This baby is big, breech and stretching my tummy so uncomfortably
I just want to lay in a tub of cold water but I can't even be arsed to go run it
My 4 year old is not coping with the heat and being over tired, she's made me cry already, sat in the kitchen crying, I tried to coax her back for a cuddle and she said "no, I don't want you or daddy, I want to stay on my own, this day is ruined" Confused
When I did finally coax her round with a cuddle and Moana . . I cried at Moana
Fecking hormones

Get this baby out of me

36 weeks here as well and measuring massive, I am so over this 🤦‍♀️

I can't even think about that there's still another 3 weeks until induction 😭

I keep asking my dh just to throw me back in the sea .

Mylasmummy2102 · 13/06/2021 17:29

Same!! I'm 37 weeks measuring 42 weeks abs been told baby is big I cant relax my feet are swelling in the heat it's just not fun is it 😫

C3PO31 · 13/06/2021 18:52

36 weeks here too and measuring 39 😩!
All I want to do is lay in a cold bath and put my kankles up haha!
Fingers crossed I find out this week when I’ll be induced though 🤞🏻!
We’ve only got a few more weeks girls, we can do this! xx

Samg93 · 13/06/2021 21:15

Same here, 37+4 and sooo done with this. I also have a breech baby and it feels like his head is wedged in my rib cage. When I went for the scan at 36+5 he was already estimated 6lbs 13oz, so surely he's ready to come out now ☹️

We just have to keep reminding ourselves that it won't be long until we meet our babies!!

37 weeks with ginormous baby, induction in 14 days ...

SamoyedFan123 · 13/06/2021 22:20

Another one suffering here - 36weeks today and baby measuring 8lb 8oz 3 days ago! 😳 Induction booked for two weeks tomorrow and he's going be well over 10lb by then. To top it off I have a chest and sinus infection and feel crap.

THATbasicSNOWFLAKE · 13/06/2021 22:30

@SamoyedFan123 i am going to try and get a sweep in before my induction i think

Chunkybutfunky87 · 14/06/2021 01:30

It's just getting worse, lol 1.30am stifling hot, I've got a fan on fully windows open, downing milk by the pint for horrendous heartburn. Literally cannot sleep.

F*ck it, I'm driving to the hospital and asking for a quick c-section, whose with me!?!! 🤣🤣🤣

36 weeks with a big baby too, I went to a family bbq yesterday and all I wanted to do was cry! I'm hot I can't sleep I just want this baby out now I'm so ready

SamoyedFan123 · 14/06/2021 06:39

@THATbasicSNOWFLAKE me too! Have an appointment with my consultant 4 days before and he says he'll do one if required then. How ginormous is your baby? I had twins last time and this baby already weighs more than they did put together when they were born - terrified i'm going to have to give birth to a toddler 😳

Agree with all those who couldn't sleep last night - it was awful!

THATbasicSNOWFLAKE · 14/06/2021 07:40

Estimated weight was 7lb 12 at 36 weeks @SamoyedFan123, is your induction date the 28th?

Mylasmummy2102 · 14/06/2021 07:46

My baby was estimated just over 5lb at 32 weeks but they won't induce me they are just letting me go 🥵

THATbasicSNOWFLAKE · 14/06/2021 07:53

@Mylasmummy2102 have you not had another scan since?

SamoyedFan123 · 14/06/2021 08:07

@THATbasicSNOWFLAKE yes the 28th.mine was 8lb 8oz at 35+4 😳 I'm hoping the scans aren't correct!

THATbasicSNOWFLAKE · 14/06/2021 08:11

Ive had growth scans in two previous pregnancies one estimated a lb under, the other was pretty much spot on. Are you having another scan before induction?

THATbasicSNOWFLAKE · 14/06/2021 08:18

My induction is due for 28th too but i really dont wanna end up having to do it!"

Pinklittle · 14/06/2021 08:23

Ooh can I join in 38 weeks measuring 42 weeks :( huge hot and heavy, it seemed like such a good idea at the time back in the autumn haha!

chunkybutfunky87 · 14/06/2021 08:27

You can guarantee babies will arrive and it will piss it down for weeks so can't relax and recover in the garden lol

Honestly as long as i have my body back i dont care if it snows Grin

Mylasmummy2102 · 14/06/2021 09:22

@THATbasicSNOWFLAKE yeah I've had 3 scans since to check the fluid levels but they keep just sending me away saying baby is just big and fluid is fine. At my midwife last week I was just over 36 weeks measuring 42 weeks 😫

THATbasicSNOWFLAKE · 14/06/2021 09:26

Have they not given more recent weight estimates?

Mylasmummy2102 · 14/06/2021 09:37

@THATbasicSNOWFLAKE nope I've asked them and they told me they didn't need to because they only thing they were asked to look at was fluid my other 2 children with just over 7lb and both 9 days late so I'm a tad scared this one is going to be big

BurningBenches · 14/06/2021 09:51

40+2 with baby 5 and being induced Friday. This is supposedly an average sized baby (6lb 9 at 36wks compared to DC4 who was supposed to be 9lb at 37wks) still over it though!

Based on the 1/2lb a week i cannot see how this baby is average though, she'd be 8lb9 at full term and over 9lb when she's born 🤷‍♀️ we will see on friday.

THATbasicSNOWFLAKE · 14/06/2021 09:54

@BurningBenches fingers crossed for a smooth induction for you (or natural start before!)

BurningBenches · 14/06/2021 09:57

@THATbasicSNOWFLAKE thanks lovely!
