I’m 36+3 and feel like I’m loosing my marbles! I watch my wife go to work, do overtime, go to placement (she is a student as well as working) and I stay home and do what? I finished work week ago and I feel like it’s been the longest week of my life. I am trying to get bits and bobs done in a house to get ready for the baby but I get tired so easily as well. I feel guilty for not doing more, but when i push myself too much I am in agony with my back and hips afterwards. Anyone else feeling like this? I am panicking that nothing is ready and then fall asleep sitting up or struggling to find energy to move. Please tell me I’m not the only one!

I’m exactly the same, I’ve been off sick most of my pregnancy because of one thing and another. I started my maternity leave last week n it felt like the longest week of my life. I’ve still got so much stuff left to do. The baby room isn’t even organised. My hospital bag isn’t still fully packed. I’ve got washing everywhere and now my little boy is on school holidays so it’s even harder to get stuff sorted out with him being off to as can’t just leave him in a room. I still have things I need to buy for my little boy who starts school in sept and I also still have things I need to buy for this little one. My emotions are all over the place I’ve cried the last 2 days :(

It’s so hard isn’t it! This is my 1st one so I don’t even have the added stress of looking after another child. The emotions are all over the place and I am doing my own head in crying over anything and everything 🤦🏻♀️

I’m 39 weeks tomorrow and still working two days a week and looking after my two year old around that, it’s overwhelming but rewarding. I think getting out the house everyday has helped! 💘💘💘
I have had consistent pain this pregnancy so it hasn’t been fun lol , this heatwave hasn’t been good for all of us I think haha x

I something think I don’t have things ready but I try not to stress and focus on how amazing it will be to have a beautiful baby in my hands xx
