No energy!

[MissRhead]

For weeks now I have been nesting like crazy but in the last couple days I have zero energy and little interest in doing anything! I just want to go to bed and sleep! Anyone else feeling the same towards the end? X

You're closer than I am but I'm exhausted but fighting the nesting urge by having a rest.

 

[Soontobe]

I do nothing like all day cos im constantly tired!!!
Even when I know I could be doing washing etc I just don't lol

 

[MissRhead]

I'm glad I'm not alone lol. I have so much housework to do and I've just come over to my parents super early to avoid doing any of it!! X

Yep, I'm feeling exactly the same. Our nursery is finished and all baby's clothes are washed and put away but there's tonnes of cleaning and organising I want to do around the house but I just don't have the energy. I tend to need to nap after lunch times at the moment too. I don't know how people have the energy to do all the nesting stuff - it's a miracle if the dishes get washed in my house.

It makes it worse that I actually have a dishwasher haha! My sink got blocked up so I've just spent the last half an hour trying to sort that (disgusting!!) now just looking at the pile of dirty washing and clean to be put away Its like my muscles are melting away haha x

Yup, just looking after the 2 kiddies at home is enough of a challenge to get me through the day. Add to that the dishes, washing, tidying up of toys, vacuuming and what not and it's getting me to the point of not wanting to get up at all. Everywhere is a tip, the idea of a home birth in this mess is frightening the life out of me so I'm going to have to find some energy in the next few weeks. Haven't taken down the baby clothes or washed them yet either.

Been at work all day, very nearly fell asleep on the bus home. I'm just knackered all the time, makes it really hard to be bothered with doing anything at all once I get home!

I'm so tired all the time even when I've just woken up , my hubby has done so much rearranging lately that I haven't been able to nest at all because everytime I've started tidying my hubby decides to take over and move loads of crap about so now I'm in a tidy place but I have no idea were anything is atall ! It's so annoying , but with the toddlers and everything else I'm so tired I feel like I could sleep most of the time !! Lucky for me I have good kids so I can sleep now and then at their nap times x

I'm planning a homebirth too I keep thinking I must keep on top of the whole housework as theirs going to be quite a few people in my house not to mention visitors afterwards, it's so hard with other LO's though, my son is SO messy!
Oh btw I live in cheshire too not so far from you! Lol

Oohhh, are you with One-to-One by any chance? =)
Had my previous home birth with them and it was absolutely amazing, so definitely the way for me again (all things permitting of course).

Even though I still can't find the energy to do every day tasks like tidying up, I started painting the bathroom yesterday. Don't ask me what I was thinking! I remember the colour walls really annoyed me during my last labour, so finally getting around to painting them plain white in case this little lady is also born in there.

Yep, every night this week, I've fallen asleep on the sofa and felt tired during the day too.

Ive not heard of them what is it? Im arranging it through my community midwives? I feel a little clueless right now as its been a last minute thing im just waiting for them to come round to sort out paperwork and drop off some kit

Im presuming you went without a pool? Im considering going without now but wonder where ill actually end up giving birth lol

 

[MissRhead]

Im glad im not alone! Today my LO is at my parents, I could be doing so many things. Instead I am watching kindergarten cop haha

One to One Midwives, they're a private midwife company that cater for NHS patients. They aim to give you the same midwife through out your whole pregnancy and labour, and are very much in support of letting the woman labour how she wants and where she wants. They want to keep things as natural as possible =)

I did have a pool actually, I just never made it in. I used my TENS for pain relief and was too terrified to take it off to enter the water. By the time the TENS didn't help for pain relief any more I was upstairs and baby was on her way, so I didn't fancy the stairs with her nearly dangling out. I'm having a pool again this time around, maybe I'll make it in.
