5 weeks to go and don't know what to do with myself lol
At 7 weeks to go I felt like baby is very close now and did a mad panic of buying everything we need and getting hospital bag packed, fixing stuff in the house, etc. etc. Now I have all that done and I'm sat here like... oh... I have 5 weeks still to go 😂
Does anyone else feel like this? I'm getting really tired lately and don't feel like doing much other than sleeping and eating and I'm annoyed there isnt more prep to do.

Listen, even if there was more to do, the body needs to rest and you can't force it, just eat and sleep, 😃 or write in your journal what you hope for and expects
Am the same. Started a hobby now. Crocheting and counting down time. Its annoying to just wait.
I'm the opposite and have started very late and now feel overwhelmed. I'm 37 weeks today and my brain can't relax let alone my body 😩 I feel like I've got so much to do but don't know where to start it's awful
I wish I had read baby books! So much to learn
Literally enjoy the time! You will NOT have this time for the next 10-18years. That's a reality. I cannot stress enough how important it is for women to rest and enjoy the quiet time in the final weeks of pregnancy (if 1st time mums) I ubderstand if there are pregnancy discomforts or other health issues that then it is a rush to give a birth already, but otherwise just enjoy.
I haven't slept in 2+ years. Remember exactly the last good night of sleep. October 19th 2024 😂😂😂 (sorry this is not exaggeration, it is my experience) and I do have a toddler who sleeps full nights. But as a mum you are always on alert and always needed and it is so hard to just unwind and rest.

Baby pushing against tummy
Hi everyone. I’m a first time mama expecting my rainbow baby girl on Christmas Day. I’m currently 33.5 weeks.
The last four or five days I’ve found my tummy feels really uncomfortable and not like it did previously. It feels like baby is pushing or leaning back against the front of my tummy all of the time, so one side feels really full and distended. She’s kicking and moving fine, but I don’t know whether this is just a result of her getting bigger and so feels new, or something else?

How do you wait for appointments?!
So I found out I’m pregnant on Saturday!! My first appointment is in December but my first scan isn’t until January! How do you cope with waiting that long to see your baby and making sure everything is okay?!

Pain here at top of bump / ribs (35w, 3d)
Has anyone else experienced pain in this area when sitting and laying on your side.
Feels like a sharp stabbing / pulling and gets worse the longer you’re in that position.
Baby is head down
Thanks! 🙏🏼
