Finding it really hard :(

[Ash_P]

Hey girls, need some moral support. Im fidning this really hard. Im crying everyday, running all the past back in my head wondering what ifs, whys, what can I do, what shouldnt I have done etc etc. I know its my hormones and my emotions are all over the place.
I cant do damn all, Im sitting like a whale, I cant sit for too long without getting sore, or stand cause the same thing happens. Sleep consists of like 3 hours a night, and I just want this over.

I had a checkup with midwife on friday and baby is fully engaged, had my shower the friday before but still nothing, and I have a sweep booked for friday coming, but Im really dreading it cause I know its gonna kill with pain. Any tips of something to get me shifted before then. This wee munchkin has no intentions of moving.

I know that once the LO is here my emotional state will change to a degree and I will be in a diffferent frame of mind in regards to FOB It just seems like theres no light at the end of the tunnel at the minute.

Any advice to get me thru this, Im surprised Iv any tears left in there, but it still keeps coming

Awwww i know how you feel, i was soo miserable towards the end, and fob just made it all worse, its tough but theres not much you can do in regards to him, just basically ignore him and hope he gets the message, its hard, but once bubs is here you wont even give him a second thought! Trust me on that one unless fob gets in touch with me now (about four times since she was born and only cos he had nothing better to do) i dont even remember that he exists lol

As for tips to getting you moving.... how about a majorly hot curry?? lol Orrrrr how about a really long walk?

Dont worry, soon baby will be here before you know it!

Sending you huge hugs

I'm finding it hard towards the end with feeling really overwhelmed. I hope your LO decides to make an appearance soon xx

Lou - that's good to know that once the LO's are here we'll be fine I imagine there isn't much time to think about FOB with a new baby xx

It took Ava being here to give me the guts to tell him where to go, once your baby is here you honestly dont give two shits what they say/think/try to do. If they give you shit then you find it so much easier to tell them where to go.
But then obv the baby may be what it takes to change them.. no such luck for me.. if anything he resented us even more, but i get all the cuddles and smiles to myself and he is missing out on so much he doesnt even realise.
honestly gets easier, as for trying to coax baby out.. keep mobile.. i think i walked about a million miles on the treadmill before labour haha, keep walking and drinking thr RLT!! x

Yep i was the same, but luckly we were talking then otherwise i think it would of been alot harder to cope with
But i drank loads of the RLT i had about 6 cups a day hot and cold, i did my power walks up my hills and it killed with my spd and all my swellings, i had alot of stress as i moved house on the monday, but i would say try to keep mobile and do some squates if ya can?!
You still have time, my LO was 9 days early!!!
And if ya need anything txt me xxx

Thanks girls, well im surprised that i didnt end up in labour tonight, MAJOR hassle!!! Will put all up in a seperate thread, but if baby can handle the hassle and shit that was happening tonight I think it will handle anything.
Im just a comfy person i reckon that baby is really quite happy where it is.
Tried RLT, pineapples, walking as much as i can with the SPD, squats and lunges, up and down the stairs, and even got down in weird positions to do some painting yesterday. Still no joy, but its just a waiting game.

I agree completely with the other girls. FOB gave me so much shit towards the end of my pregnancy and I have to say it for the first week or so i was so paranoid about everything. But then again I know he was floating around outside my house etc. But you will not care or give a dam once LO is born. You will think a little bit about things like what if i bump into him etc etc if he lives close by but you will have a completly different kind of strength. Because to get this far you already have strength and when LO is born you will as Claire has said you will have the guts to do and say as you please. Protecting and lovin your LO will be all you really care about. Honestly.

We're all here if you need us and just send a pm if you need someone to relate to/talk to etc etc. You dont even live that far from me, once LO is born if you wanted a random bitch about FOB's etc we could meet up. Makes ya feel a hell of a lot better getting it all out to someone in person xx
