39 Weeks and feeling not so good

[marieb]

Pointless entry-just need a whine!!!

Despite getting a good night's sleep (for the first time in like a week!) I am still feeling completely exhausted. I've also had this nagging headache since yesterday (blood pressure is fine though) and I've started feeling really nauseous.

I think I've been losing little pieces of mucus plug but I'm not having any other signs of labor. I almost want baby to hang in there for a little while longer until I don't feel SO tired.

I have so much cleaning and cooking left to do. Where's this burst of nesting energy when you need it most? haha

Anyone else in the last few weeks? How are you all feeling?

I'm feeling tired too... not sure its gonna get any better until after giving birth now! Also cracked my rib 2/3 weeks ago while coughing with a bad cold and it really hurts, baby not engaged so sitting high under rib always chosing that side to stick its bum out.
I want to just get on with it. No signs of labor so far!

I'm feeling the exact same way hun. I'm 39 + 3 and ive been getting the nausea, heartburn, pains and headache.. I'm also insanely emotional again and I keep having panic attacks about labor and if people will actually answer the phone when I call to have my daughter looked after when the time hits . I can't wait to hold my little guy and get back to reality. This waiting game is killer annoying.. and the fear of going over due is horrible!!
I don't think i'm losing any of my mucus plug or anything.. I kind of feel i'll be pregnant forever lol.

Haha I feel the exact same way.
I'm sort of in disbelief that I'm already 39 weeks but at the same time I'm absolutely convinced I'm going to be the first woman in history to stay pregnant forever.

Lol here's to hoping we don't go past our due dates and that we get this show on the road sooner than later!!... Race you to the finish line? ... but you'll probably beat me lol

I don't know.... I'm becoming increasingly more sure I'll go to 41 weeks haha.

When did you have your daughter?

I had my daughter at 39 weeks but only because i was induced... i had high blood pressure. This one seems to be hanging in there. Tonight I feel like death. Super tired, headache again and pressure. Heres hoping things are starting or that i'll feel better in the morning. Are you getting more tired as the days pass?

Oh my God, me too. 39 weeks and change, no bloody anything, some menstrual-like cramps and braxton hicks and I somehow have this belief that I will be pregnant for the rest of my life. Logically, I know that's buckets of crazy. And yet...

Hang in their ladies hopefully something will happen soon for you guys

Hi ladies, I'm nearly 39 weeks and am also feeling not so good. I've been having a lot of period type cramps, backache and this morning I had some nausea and a headache but they've worn off now. I have been losing little bits of plug over the last few days and feel like he has dropped. For me I feel like labour is near but that probably means I'll go over- haha! I had my son bang on 40 weeks on his due date. My sleeping is awful (18month old struggling to adjust to his new room and 1st bed as well as insomnia and hip pain) so I feel permanently tired and so hoping labour starts in the morning so I get an all day labour rather than an all night one like last time. So...watch this space for all of us I suppose

 

[marieb]

I am definitely more tired the past few days but I think a lot of that has to do with the fact that I just can't fall asleep. This pregnancy insomnia is going to be the death of me.

I went into labor on my due date and had my son the day after (labored all night, all morning and half of the afternoon-ugh!). Hoping I'll go into labor after having a really great night's sleep but not too sure that's going to happen haha.

Good luck to everyone! I hope we're all holding our babies within the next week
