Really Fed Up with It All

[Macca79]

Hi All
Im just having a vent really. Im nearly 38 weeks and am over all of it. I can't sleep much at night as I can only sleep on my sides and I wake up every hour with numb legs or sore hips. Im having very strong and regular Braxton Hicks that don't hurt but are uncomfortable. My back hurts more frequently and even sitting can be uncomfortable. Im getting to the point were I am so desperate for a bit of sleep and relief I want to ask my OB if she can induce me.

Is this really normal?

darl im almost 36 weeks and i feel like this.. just so desperate to get her out and over with it.. im tired and sore and am just totally bloody over it! I can't wait to sleep on my belly again!!!!!!!!!!! for you.. i know EXACTLY how you feel

Hi there - Oh yes it's really normal unfortunately!! By 38 weeks you are not only tired of being uncomfortable but also impatient to meet your baby, one thing is certain however, you won't be pregnant forever!!

If I knew then what I knew now I woulda been SLEEPING every chance I got lol. I'm sure your OB will only induce you if they feel it is the right thing to do for you & your baby so good luck with whatever happens & your impending birth!!

i also know exactly how you are feeling i was told due to my age and the fact that this is bub number 6 there was no way i would carry to term,well here i am 38.3 weeks along and after finding out he is breech and that yes i can have a vaginal birth however they will not induce me and will let me go to 42 weeks and as i have gone 1 or 2 weeks over with the rest i feel like i will be pregnant forever lol.

It feels like that hey! first two trimesters fly.. then you get down to the last couple of weeks and it just drags and drags on.. i also feel like i've been pregnant forever.. i feel like just sleeping for 4 weeks hahahha then waking up and having bubs

Ummmmmm im only 28wks and i already feel like that!!!

so would hate to think how fed up im gonna be at 38wks

Dont worry its perfectly normal to feel this way,when i was pregnant with DD2 i was just about ready to scream from frustration at 38wks..luckily i went into labour at 39wks so i had reached my limit

Hang in there your so close

Its totally normal to feel that way. I ended up going 5 days over. I was so big I actually put on 30 kg!! Bub was nearly 5 kgs tho. I could hardly sleep waking up with numb side as well. My ankles were that swallon I felt like michelin man.

Dont worry, chin up! It will all be over soon and u will be holding a precious new baby in your arms and it will all be worth it.

Hi,

I know this is the last thing you want to hear but try to enjoy the last few weeks before bubs arrives savour ever kick and having that beautiful big belly. Take the time to take some beautiful pics of you with you belly even if you just get a friend to do it, buy a belly cast off ebay and make that up...I really wish I had of done that, take baths with some candles and music get a preg massage because ewven though it feels like forever once that bubs is out you will never again experience them kicking you in painful and uncomfortable ways again and looking back you pregnancy will feel like only a second in time!

I definitely miss that undesribable and awe filled experience of being pregnant! and I was vomitting at least 20 times a day for 26weeks and then got gd at 28weeksand ended up on 4insulin shots a day and I still miss it
