    Ladies Please can I ask your personal opinion/experience. I have 5 weeks to go until my due date but this week I am feeling like I have really had enough and just want the baby out. I have not felt this way with my previous 2 and just fear that something is not right. Has anyone else experienced feelings like this, is there anything that I can do to reduce/change the way that I'm feeling. I have tried having more time to myself but this just makes things worse. Sorry about my rant and questions

    Mine are evicted at about 34/35 weeks .. but are these feelings maybe an extension of what is making things difficult in your relationship with OH? It may be deflection of emotion.

    When I had concerns about something not being quite right I have usually been right, but I have ongoing issues which I am quite sensitive to.. if you are worried about the baby speak to the hospital see if there is anything they can do to reassure you.. so long as baby is happily wriggling about there doesn't seem to be much they can or will do but talking it through with someone or going to have a trace done might make you feel better..

    I am 5 weeks behind you, not got anything ready and am now having bit of a flap that nothing will be sorted or ready and at the moment OH's gubbins is filling the bit of bedroom floor the moses basket is going on..

    text received saying Moomin got to her destination safely eventually.. school still never called back.. then they wonder why I expressed concern over their lack of care or parental involvement.. I knew I was not making things up!!

    2 loads of laundry out on the line, 2 more loads in.. the girls loaded a machine each and OH cleaned up the poo from senile moggy... slave labour at its best... I then asked OH if he wanted a cuppa so he has gone to make that too :D .. it seems my moaning about how difficult I am finding things and what stuff I should not be doing is sinking in.. only taken 3 years lol...

    I can't find the uniform order form.. argh!! It is so frustrating.. I spent ages deliberating over what sizes to order too!

    Can't offer any personal experience MMM, but please ring your midwife - or whatever the system is locally - and find out if there is anything they do when this situation arises that can set your mind at rest. I doubt very much you are the first person who has had these feelings.

    Tearing around here feeding the 5,000 and in serious organising mode. Lots of fun but very hard work.

    I hope Lamewolf is okay :wave:

    Did LW not say she had lodgers for a couple of weeks due to lots of people being on holiday and fewer people accepting them?

    You're absolutely right - I'd forgotten. It seems forever since we've had sight of even a few paw prints.
