Past my due date and frustrated

I know I'm still well within a normal due 'period' I guess as I'm only 40+3, but man I'm so frustrated.

I've hated being pregnant this time round. (Already have a nearly 3 yo)
I thought I had it bad last time but everything has been 10x worse. I've had every symptom under the sun, I've had every illness on top of that from my toddler, plus still having to run after him all day every day. I'm so done with it, I just want my body back and to feel even semi-normal again.

(Please don't get me wrong, I'm also incredibly grateful to be pregnant again and we're very lucky, I just need a space to get these negative feelings out too)

I feel like ever since I've been around 39weeks pregnant I've hit a wall, I can't cope anymore. I'm now 3 days past my due date and I honestly don't know how to keep going?? Baby feels like she's pushing down on my cervix all the time, the lightning crotch is horrendous, I've lost mucus plug, I've had a bloody show, I've had diarrhoea, back pains etc, all these things that you'd assume mean labour is close but nope, nothing. She's still chilling in there, her bum is sitting so high its touching my boobs, like she's not dropped AT ALL. I didn't drop with my first so I do take everything with a grain of salt but still, I just want something to happen!! I'm tired, I'm grumpy, I'm in SO MUCH pain 🥲 and everyone keeps asking me if baby has arrived yet, I've just stopped answering messages because I promise once this baby is out of me I'll be singing from the rooftops! You don't need to keep asking!! 😭😭😭

Sorry this turned into such a vent but I'm so tired you've no idea, I just want to explode I'm so frustrated, and I know feeling this way isn't good for getting oxytocin flowing in preparation for labour but I can't help it, I'm just so dome feeling like crap 😔

Anyone past their due date?

How are you feeling? Does labour feel far away?

I’m 40 weeks today! It still doesn’t feel real for me yet, I’m all prepared in the house and ready for baby girl, so excited for labour to start but I still feel like I’m waiting for some big reality check 😂

I feel like I’m going to go way over ( I know it’s fine but I’m so ready for her to come now) i think because I feel so fine in my body like I have no signs of labour I still feel really active and loving the sun im going to a plant nursery then coming home to do some gardening today 😂

Anyone else feel like labour is far away?

Does it just randomly change that fast and you go into labour?

Anyone else feel like they’ve dropped

Anyone else 35+3 and feel like they’ve dropped pretty low down? Supposed to be booking my elective c section Wednesday next week but will be amazed if she’s not here before my planned section date 👀👀

9 week Countdown begins today!

Ahhhh!! I am so nervous. I'm down to single digits 😭 the excitement is overwhelming and it's like my brain will block out the actual giving birth part until I see something that reminds me 😅

Whats your due date and what are your plans for the last few weeks??

I'm going to start washing baby girls clothes today while the sun is out 🥹 will need to figure out her camera, baby brezza and bottle washer in the next few weeks too. Her travel system should arrive next week. Otherwise I feel fairly ready!

Is the ramzi theory accurate

Should I try the website and upload my picture?

HELP!

I had sex 6 weeks post partum with no contraception and I am completely freaking out that I am pregnant. I’m pretty sure I had my first period already. Omg I can’t deal

I'm having my baby in 7 weeks instead of 11!

So I went for my extra growth scan today because I had a fully covering placenta previa plus a 98th percentile boy. Placenta had not moved what so ever, it's like a lid over my cervix, so they told me it will be a c section at week 36. Baby is still massive - 97th percentile this time, so they suspect I either are growing a greek God in there or I'm having gestational diabetes. But it speak against diabetes because he's been big the whole time.. anyone else going through anything similar?

Also... I'm loosing a month of waiting! Baby were supposed to come end of June and now coming end of May! I got SO MUCH TO DO! 😅 I'm stressed, relieved and excited all at once!
