36 weeks and sooooo fed up....

hi there, is anyone else this far into pregnancy and feeling the strain?:\? im so tired, feeling anxious, worried about the impending birth, just feel generaly drained! dont get me wrong im very excited about meeting my little one,:\) but these hormones certainly dont make me feel 'blooming' at the moment. :cry: xx

    hi all,
    thank you so much for taking time out to reply. this is my second child. however my son is nearly 9, and with sooo much changing since then, this does feel like my first!
    i too want jobs done around the house.. but i just get too tired n achy. and yes i too end up in bed resting by the afternoon. its sooo frustrating, why are we so hard on ourselves?? when we are producing a wonderful new life?? :\) lol
    take care all..
    xx

    Hello! I'm also 36 weeks -what's your due date mummy31? Mine is 11th April. Am also getting really tired - and I don't go on mat leave for another 2 weeks which is starting to become hard going. I've got wednesday's off between now and then which is helping but i can't wait til 28th march when i can forget all my work related responsibilities and just look after me & bump! I am pretty organised but SAMF you're making me feel under-prepared - i have't even packed my hospital bag never mind started cooking meals to freeze - think I'll have to rely on my mum & mum in law for that hee hee!!! xxx

    Hi i'm 36wks +2 and am fed up too. Like you ladies i want to get loads of little jobs done but i just get tired out. And now, to top it all, i've aggravated my lower back injury so can't even do any little things at the moment. :x Sooo hoping it heals up soon cos i haven't got my house ready yet, let alone cook meals for the freezer (v impressed by your organisation Samf) I had this idea i'd get loads done in my early mat leave; things like becoming a perfect wife/mother by learning to cook fab meals (or even basic ones!!!) I'm rubbish at cooking and just panic. Like you Mummy31 i'm getting really anxious too. If i could just get my house ready i think it would help. I don't want to nag my OH about doing little jobs as he is working hard doing diy to get things like a front path finished so i don't have to puch the pram over no-man's land! god i'm moaning and ranting. Sorry everyone. Let's hope the sun is shining for us all tomorrow x

    i'm only 30 weeks & want my body back. I am not looking forward to the next 8 weeks.

    The being fat I can handle, it is the lumbering walking, getting out of breath aftwer a couple of steps & awkward positions I now have to sleep & sit in to stop getting pains or a small boddy part digging my insides.

    I know I am lucky & have had a (so far) perfect preganncy & am not even suffing too much with sleep probs or weeing all night but I want my body back anyway.
