It is really hard when you get to those last stages. I felt the same from 35 weeks and it was awful. I had to have a stronger pain relief (on the level of morphine) to get me through the last few weeks as my uterus became irritable and I'd randomly go into labor for it to just die off again. I also used a labor tens machine to help during the times my contractions were close together.

I learnt to have warm showers, rest on my left side lying down, and accept all support from everyone. I just focused on getting to 37 weeks - technically term - and the each day after that. I got to 38+2 when I had a c-section as I was no longer able to sleep or eat comfortably.

I hope it gets a bit easier for you, but hang in there, bubs will be here before you know it.
