I've just had 6 hours continuous sleep!! 6 hours!
Although getting up after that was rather painful, what with all the joints welded into place and a rather overfilled bladder.
Must find time to nap in the day...

What a lovely sunny day, I think I'll go on a little shopping trip. Wish me luck!

sarahh112, third sweep eh? I don't fancy having one of those and thankfully the MW didn't mention them. And maybe by the time I have my hospital appt next week it will be too late. I want my baby on Sunday! Wishing you all the best, hope things start moving along for you soon...

I WANT MY BABY OUT NOW!!!!

Am i being selfish???

Sadie204

Morning ladies!

I have asked my mum to be in the room during labour. (How weird am I?:rolleyes: ) My mum is like my best friend and always has been, even as a teen we never really argued! My younger sister made up for it though a few years later! I have been considering demoting her though for all the scary stories she keeps telling me about when she went into labour with me!

On a different note, does it hurt anyone else to cough? or sneeze? Every time I do, it feels like my pubic bone going to fall out! Or baby find an alternative route out via my belly button! :eek:

Labour vibes to all who want them x

Does anybody else feel a bit depressed towards the end of their pregnancy?

I have been so happy throughout and bonding so well with my baby and now (nearly 39 weeks) I can't stop crying, wondering if I am going to be a good Mum, will I be able to love my baby enough etc?

I've been reading in my book that other people have felt like this (and that thankfully it will pass) but I haven't heard any of my friends or family that gave birth recently admit to this.

I feel guilty for not feeling so deliriously happy about getting to meet my baby soon which is making me feel even worse

Hiya, don't worry, its perfectly normal. With my first baby I got quite emotional at the end and had mixed feelings. Worried if i'd cope, know what to do with a baby etc, but then happy as it was what I wanted. With this baby i've been ok through the middle months but the last few weeks have been awful ! I keep crying for no reason. Everything stresses me out ! I know it'll be harder this time round as our DS is 2 on sunday, but at least i'll know what to do !! I'm just totally fed up with being so big, not being able to fasten my shoes :rotfl: everything is such an effort I just want it out !!!! 6 weeks to go though :eek: .

Aw, thanks for your reply. I am sorry to hear you are going through the same emotional termoil, but at the same time it makes me feel better to know that others are (does that make me a bad person?).

I want this baby so much but just feel as though I am not bonding with him as well. I am still chattering away to him all the time, but just not as much, if you know what I mean.

I think it is natural. I cry at anything and just want the world for my little baby because he deserves the world, and I want to be the best possible Mum to him, but get upset thinking I might not be able to be, not that I have any reason to doubt myself.

I think it is normal isn't it? Probably apprehension about the birth and the forthcoming climax from the last 9 months waiting period! Well years it took us to conceive, so its been a long time in the waiting.

Anyway, thank you so much for your reply. I hope you are feeling better soon x

Its funny what hormones do to us !! I'm normally a very happy person
Just really looking forward to having baby here, not impressed with the whole getting larger than life bit ! Work doesn't help, I finish in 3 weeks and I can't wait. My boss was supposed to get a relacement in for whilst i'm off and should have been here learning the job, but as usual nothing has happened. So my job will fall apart when I leave. But i'm not stressing out over, its works problem not mine. Just trying to do as little as possible for the next 3 weeks :rotfl: They're currently doing a sweep stake in the office for when baby will arrive. Last time no-one got it right so baby got it :T

I've been really emotional throughout this pregnancy. It's only in the last week or two that I have begun to feel more settled and I'm 34 weeks now. Typical! Hormones just settling down ready to be turned upside down again in a few weeks!
I had my 34 week check up today, and baby is 2/5 engaged :eek: This is my third baby, and I'm sure DS2 never engaged until labour. Does anyone know if this means she could come early? I am so not ready.

Hippychick, I don't want to worry you :eek: :eek: but am sure that with 2nd + babies they don't engage until they'e ready to come out !! (not like first ones that do it gradually over a few weeks if I remember right.....please correct me v quickly if I'm wrong someone for hippychick's sake!!
