Pregnancy coming to an end sadness

Is anyone else feeling a little sad as their pregnancy is coming to an end? I’m currently 35+2 so I’ve got over 4 weeks until my due date but I woke up feeling a bit sad that soon I won’t be pregnant or have a bump anymore.
I’ve had very mixed feelings recently.

Yesterday I felt done with being pregnant as I’ve had the worse acid reflux, braxton hicks and I’ve not slept properly in weeks due to the hip pain and just generally feeling uncomfortable. But this morning, the more I thought about the fact I enter my 9th month next week, I realised that I’ll miss the bump and feeling my baby kicking and turning. It feels like the end of an era.

I’m excited for my partner to meet our daughter and to be able to share her with him. The thought of meeting this little person who I’ve been growing for the past 8+ months is so exciting. But I am also nervous that she’ll be in the big wide world and not nice and safe in my tummy.

I’ll probably wake up and feel completely different tomorrow but wondered if anyone else has similar feelings seeing as we are all the same boat 💕

I feel the same way! It's our last baby so I feel like I'm grieving a little bit too.
I keep saying "maybe we should have another one day" but after a few days I remember I don't actually want another one, but I'll miss the kicks, I'll miss ultrasounds. I'll miss it just being me and her in our little bubble, i feel selfish but I'm not ready to share her with the world yet 😞

But then I can't wait to see her with my husband, and I can't wait for her to meet her sister 🥹

Yes! I really am going to miss it so much! I haven’t had a perfect pregnancy but I’m still going to miss it so much, I can’t wait to lie on my belly tho and not have swollen feet and carpal tunnel 😂

Anxiety with the bump.

I’m 36 weeks pregnant and I’ve suddenly developed a massive anxiety around anyone standing behind me. My husband is annoying me so much because even though I’ve told him how it makes me feel, he’s continued doing stuff in our kitchen (that is tiny anyway) and sliding past me to grab things. I know the baby is safe even if I were to bump the bump a little but even the thought of it is still making extremely anxious. How do I cope with this feeling and is anyone else going through the same sort of thing?

So I’m 20 weeks pregnant and I went to the hospital for light bleeding when I wipe ( not ever time though).. the doctor told me it was due to sex and that my cervix was irritated has anyone else experienced this? And or know way to just calm my anxiety from it

Breathless and feeling like I need to be sitting constantly!

Has anyone else been feeling this way as they're getting closer to their due date?

I attempted to change our bedding this evening and had to call my husband for back up as I literally felt like my lungs were going to explode just trying to reach over to put the sheet on.

I'm huffing and puffing just getting my toddler into his pjs, and I was sat down! Like what is going on 😮‍💨🥲

Everything has been check ie bloods etc so I think it's just general pregnancy as I'm now 38 weeks. My bump feels like it weighs about 100lbs 😭
