Walking!
Up and down the stairs if you can manage.

I felt the same as you. Four weeks later baby made appearance. This time I’m not getting any hopes up whatsoever and will try to enjoy my last days before baby no2 arrives and night feeds, endless nappies etc.
Try to chill and enjoy this time.

No advice OP but exactly the same! 38 weeks, can't sleep for heartburn and leg cramps. Feeling super uncomfortable and just done with pregnancy! I've been trying all the usual advise but nothing seems to be making a difference

Yep @indigo27 15 days late. Look I’m sure that won’t happen to you, it’s unusual to go that far over. But I made myself utterly miserable in those last weeks, stressing about something I had no control over. Am pregnant again and this time I’m really going to try to enjoy the last few weeks. Are you on mat leave? If so go to the cinema, have a manicure, see friends, read some good books…enjoy this time if you can.

39 weeks today. I have had it with being pregnant!

Not trying anything because I find it makes me stressed, baby will come whenever its ready- but I just wish it was ready because I am so bloody ready!!

Good luck, all I can say is nobody stays pregnant forever:)

38+4 and feeling like you haha. This is 3rd baby for me and the longest I’ve gone is 38+6, although I can see this madam staying in for longer lol

@indigo27 hand expressing, I did 2 sessions in a couple of hours and waters broke a couple of hours later at 38 weeks. Good luck Smile

I’m only 28 weeks so don’t feel this frustration yet BUT my friend recently had her baby and her midwife advised her to do some nipple stimulation/hand expressing. She went into labour that day!
