I’m seriously done in 🥺
33 weeks and been having Braxton hicks all day everyday for a week now. They only go away when I’m asleep (maybe I’m asleep and don’t realise they’re there 🤷🏼‍♀️)
I can’t walk anywhere without pain, I’m so fed up. I’ve had to stop going to the gym and I can’t leave the house.
I can’t get comfortable, everything just hurts.
we went for a 3d/4d scan last week and baby girl is already 5lb, I’m only 4ft 11 so I’m absolutely massive.
I know it’s only 7 more weeks but why does it feel like forever 😅🫣

anyone else just wanna hibernate 😂

Tell yourself it's nine more weeks and then if she's on time it's a plenty surprise.
Honestly though, late pregnancy is just the absolute pits. I was more happy to not be pregnant than to meet my babies after my labours.

I’ve never gone overdue with my others so I’m hoping and praying it’ll be the same this time round.
my heaviest was 8lb 12oz and she was 10 days early, my smallest was 7lb 7oz and born bang on due date.
so I do wonder if my babies get to a certain weight my body says eviction time 😂

That sounds exhausting, and hibernating sounds very sensible. Do mention the constant tightenings and the pain walking to your midwife, just so they can check in. What helped my sister was a warm (not hot) bath with pillows everywhere afterwards. Full disclosure, I make pregnancy bath salts through my little brand Wholyme, so I'm biased about baths, but any warm soak is lovely. Hope the next few weeks are kind to you.

Thank you. I wish we had a bath, sadly we just have a shower
