Just Over It!

I'm totally with you bike baby, I've got 4 weeks to go with our little surprise natural baby. Everything hurts and the indigestion is dynamite.
I've got an 11 month old DS (ivf icsi baby) so he is keeping me busy, even worse he is just getting over a nasty bout of the flu. DH currently has man flu. No sympathy in my house for me! Lol. Roll on 19th of August!

I'm still here as well, have had a cold for the last week and a half and have ended up with a sinus infection so conversely I am now happy to stay preggers for a few days longer till I feel better.

I didn't know how mums managed to be pregnant with other kids but you just do it, you don't have any choice. When hubby is on lates though I am exhausted by their bedtime, is a bit easier when Dh is earlies and is home by 3pm to help me out!

The last few months of my pregnancy I was in tears practically every time I took a step,my heartburn,which had been bad with my other two was so unbearable this time I would wake up crying,I was nauseous constantly,my back hurt all the time and I had a toddler to run around after and a child who had just started a new school.
I went 2 weeks over and thought I was going to go crazy,now however,its all a distant memory.

If this is your first,and you are no longer working SLEEP when you can,you don't get the chance to rest so much when you have toddlers as well.

Due tomorrow, had show 3.5 weeks ago but still absolutely no other sign of baby making an arrival anytime soon, and was told babies normally arrive within two weeks of a show, but obviously not normal here. Sinus infection cleared up and cold mostly gone, feeling well enough to labour now so she can get out!

Totally hear you all, it can get pretty hard at the end, but at least you know it is nearly over, just keep holding onto that thought, and try to enjoy the last few days/weeks with your partner (if it is your first) before your lives change forever.

I found that planning something to do each day helped when I was in that final countdown - like a visit to a friend's place, a movie, a coffee out - just little treats. They helped the time to go.

Also during the first trimester (which is always the worst for me as I have such bad MS and just want to curl up in a ball and die most of the time) I had a picture of my scan photo on my phone and that helped me remember what all this was happening for. I used to look at it when I was feeling particularly low.
Keep focused on the fact that you are going to have a baby soon and it will all be worth it in the end!
good luck!

I'm going to be pregnant for forever!

I thought I was going to be pregnant forever ,every single time,with my first I thought she was actually too...erm,dense to realise she needed to get out.
My kids were 8 days over,7 days over and 14days over....took their time but they made it out eventually.
Stubbornness starting young,thats what it is

Had my little girl two days ago! Two days overdue, she was posterior (Flipped at the last minute and came out the right way) and her head didn't engage until she came out. Labour only an hour and a half!!

Had totally had enough of being pregnant, but eventually they DO come!
