34 weeks and wondering how I could possibly go 6 more. Anyone else?

Just looking for some companions to get through the next few weeks with.
34 weeks now, feel like the size of a house. Belly has measured a week ahead at each midwife appointment but seems to have accelerated in terms of growth over the past week. Acid reflux is a nice new symptom. SPD making most movements quite hard. Constantly too hot and not sleeping great. Don’t get me wrong, I am super grateful to be pregnant but shit this is getting hard now.
Anyone else due early October that fancies a good moan, chat about birth plans etc, let me know!! :)

@FTEngineerM I was totally hoping it was the old body getting ready for Labour but not convinced. That's mad about the iron tablets (but good). I haven't suffered constipation during pregnancy luckily!

Gaviscon seems to have taken the edge off so fingers crossed for a better night tonight.

I had a bout of noro or similar last week that put me in hospital overnight so I'm now in that 'oh my god I can't believe how nice it is to feel better' phase but I'm sure it won't last.
Consultant started talking about sweeps from 37 weeks this time which made me less happy.

Well I've had my Baby now she's 5 days old and super cute x

Hope every one is well

Oh and she was 2 weeks early! So 38+1

Congratulations @Greenrubber! How exciting 😀. Hope birth went well. Glad you managed to avoid labor in this heat!

FTEngineerM · 07/09/2021 19:06

Congrats @Greenrubber

The heat is getting to me, my skin feels so tight on my face fingers and legs.

Yes I don't envy anyone being heavily pregnant in this weather!
I forgot about the hormone sweats tho I'm constantly sweating but at least in more mobile

8dpwoah · 07/09/2021 19:35

Oh congrats @Greenrubber! I'd forgotten about hormone sweats too, something to look forward to.... Hope you and little one are doing well 🙂

Greenrubber · 07/09/2021 19:42

We are thank you

Good luck to everyone!

@Greenrubber huge congratulations!! :) glad you are doing well

I’ve been booked for an induction on Sunday at 37+5 due to high BP/ still on lookout for pre eclampsia (although protein down now)

I’m absolutely bricking it to be honest. Finishing work on Thursday so at least I have a couple of days down time and haven’t told anyone in real life other than my husband. Hoping for a cold weekend and start to next week!!

@Bellyrumble

Hope all goes smoothly!
I was supposed to be induced tomorrow but thankfully didn't need it in the end
