Anyone else had enough and just want baby out now! 38 weeks and had a few signs of labour approaching last couple of weeks but still no baby 😓
Literally so miserable and hoping every little pain/pressure is labour 🤣

i feel this! everyday i feel like i can’t get anymore pregnant and everyday i’m proven wrong 🫠🥲

Yup in the exact same miserable boat as you 😭😂 I’m 38 weeks exactly and just want this baby out now! Partly can’t wait to meet her obviously but tbh pregnancy is just getting unbearable at this point 😅 I can’t do anything my ankles and feet are so swollen all the time and her kicks which were always sore are even worse now that she’s so big and they’re all aimed at my ribs 🙃🔫 (genuinely worried she’ll manage to break one before she gets out my body) but yeah I’m the exact same every wee back or stomach pain I get I’m like “oooh maybe it’s happening what time is it incase I need to time the pains!!” But clearly it never is anything happening because she’s still inside me showing no signs of getting out 😭😂

I’m 36 weeks pregnant 37 tomorrow and I feel you I really do aha

So fed up. Now have a cold and can't taste anything and have no energy for labour if it comes 😩

So glad not the only one 🤣 I’ve tried all the natural way to get labour started and still nothing 🙄

I’m so huge and I cannot seem to get into the best position to sleep. I’ve got the worst pelvic girdle pains and the baby is kicking me constantly. I’ve not had a good night sleep for about 2weeks - honestly just want this child out ASAP

gosh. Only 2 weeks. I haven't slept a good night since being pregnant. Possibly 1 might when I had to take something because I was going insane. Now I think I'm just used to it.
They kick the crap out of us internally don't they. It's exhausting. I've eaten a pineapple, had curry (and another tonight) drinking raspberry leaf tea, taking evening primrose. Only thing I won't try is castor oil because of the risks. And sex. Not sure I can bring myself to sex tho hahahaha

Im counting every day …Cant wait my due date so tired😀

not slept comfortably through my pregnancy but I’ve not slept a wink for two weeks because of the horrible pains in my lower back - literally walking talking zombie right now lol. Just trying to keep positive because at the end of all this we will have our little bundle of joys in our arms ♥️

ive just ordered some clary sage oil, see if that has any effect on getting things moving 🤞🏼🤞🏼

I was going to say the same haha I don’t even know the last time I had a decent sleep 😭 I got a clock recently for me and my boyfriends room and have realised how that for some reason I’m waking up exactly every hour every night?! I knew I was waking up a lot but it’s bang on one hour then back to sleep then the next hour then back to sleep and goes on the entire night 😭 does explain why I’m so shattered all the time 😂 yeah I’m the same people keep saying sex can bring it on but I just can’t bring myself to do that, I’ve had absolutely no sex drive the whole pregnancy the thought of it makes my skin crawl now and especially with how I feel now like I just feel like a disgusting whale person I couldn’t make myself have sex right now even if it did get the baby out 😭

Hey beautiful

yes that's it. Exactly. Apparently oxytocin is the main hormone for labour so let's all stay positive and happy 💙😩😩💜

😂😂😂 skin crawl. I know. It's awful isn't it. Cuz I do feel for the other half but then I don't really care cuz it's not about him hahaha. I've asked him if I can just have his product 😂

Yup I feel this on a totally different level I’m so fed up

Update!!! was up the hospital for reduced movements and tightenings for 3 hours but no pain and they want to induce me on Friday providing I don’t go into labour before then 😬

yeah same I feel bad my boyfriends gone about 8 months of celibacy 😂 (tried a couple times earlier on but just couldn’t) but then I think you know what at least he still gets to feel like himself and that’s all that’s really had to change for him so far, I definitely have the worse end of the deal so he can suck it up 😂

omg! You only have 2 more days of this suffering left to go!!! I’m so conflicted because i don’t really want induced but I also kinda do I just want her out 😂

yes exactly that.
I'm booked in for induction on 4th June but I'm going to decline it. I had a bad experience first time and post trauma from it also.
I've gone thru the whole can't do this anymore now I think, and come out the other side. I feel like the risks for me personally outweigh the fact that I just need the baby out. We are all different though x

yeah I’ve heard bad stories about inductions 😭 I’m so conflicted because if they offer induction and I say no and end up waiting ages I’ll be so annoyed at myself haha but at the same time I’ve heard no good induction experiences so seems terrifying to agree to tbh 😬 but I’m very small and the baby isn’t so I’m a bit worried about her getting too big if I’m not induced before 42 weeks and end up needing a c section which I really really don’t want 😬x

It affects everyone differently. There are some really positive induction stories on here if you have a little scroll down. But that's just my experience. Yours may be totally different.
I just don't want it to be controlled. It's really important to me to feel like I'm in control due to ptsd from my past. And I'm prone to pnd so I definitely just need to wait til he comes out.
My opinion would be planned section rather than emergency. Because that in itself can be traumatic xx
