Counting down the days and feeling bad...

I have 17 official days until my EDD. I have had nearly six weeks of on-again off-again pre-labour- some really draining and painful, I have had to organise every day as if I might go into labour as I have been having symptoms of labour onset, I am not enjoying this at all, my children drive me mad and then I get angry and I am a bit resentful that bubby hasn't arrived yet. I sleep badly and my back hurts. I am teary and feel like I am wishing away time waiting for appointments and work comitments to pass so I don't have to make arrangements should I go into labour. Just venting. I know it's hormonal and it will pass and baby will be here soon but I just feel plain bad.

:hug:

Hope bubby arrives soon for you..

Thanks:(

Sounds like you are need of serious rest and relaxation :hug: being that pregnant and dealing with so much prelabour is NOT easy. Do you have any way of making time for just you and bump?

:-( You've had a really tough time with all that pre labour, I can understand your frustration and how badly you'd want the real thing to happen now. I hope things ramp up for you soon

I am trying to! I keep having work to do and can't escape my loud children (5.5 and nearly 4yo boys). It's hard to think of someway for me to get the time I am after-I am not a beauty shop kind of girl and my Yoga teacher is away at Ashram-I am not keen on replacement...

yeah, i wouldnt want to be changing my yoga teacher either :(. could you use the time you would have at yoga for something else...like something norti...I am thinking getting out of the house and having an after dinner cup of tea with a friend or something (assuming normal yoga is at night lol)? Keep it really simple, this late into the pregnancy i would sooo not be into trying out new places and things hahaha (I am a hermit near birth time!)

:hugs: jessiebean.
Similar situation here. Although I've still got 4 weeks to go.
I hope all this 'practice' will make things easier for you when the time comes.

I too found it hard third time around with the first two being so easy, it is very different when you are looking after two little people already.

I hope things start moving for you soon :hug:

:hug: Sending some labour vibes your way. :hug:
