I'm 37+3 with my second baby, and I'm really fed up. My first pregnancy with my boy was fine even though I was a week overdue with him I don't remember feeling like this. I'm aching all over I find that I'm lying awake for half the night because I can't get comfy and am feeling sick all the time and can't catch my breath. I've only got one more day of work before I go on maternity leave, thank goodness! We didn't find out if we're having a boy or a girl so I really want to find out if my son has a little brother or sister. I've enjoyed being pregnant but am finding it difficult now going to work (only a couple of day's a week) keeping the house clean, and looking after my son who will be 4 in December. My OH works funny hours and days at the moment what with Christmas coming up, so I can't expect him to do loads when he is at home because my son wants his daddy to play with him and do thing's with him. I would feel guilty taking that away from them both. He leaves the house at 10 in the morning and gets back at 10 at night(sometimes later) 6 day's a week. So when the baby comes at least my OH will be with us for a few weeks. I'm also worried because my OH and I cannot agree on names and I'm worried that my baby won't have a name for ages, we haven't even got a short list that we agree on. Both got names we like for girls and I've got ones that I like for boys but that's it not ones we agree on. So sorry for the moan ladies but feels a bit better to get it off my chest x x x
Hi Well I feel I totally understand how you feel x I've just got back after being sat in Tesco car park sniveling in my car after another struggle of a shopping trip and a massive barny with my OH. I'm 36 weeks preg on weds and I've got chronic heartburn and restless leg syndrome. So I'm up half the night waggling my legs round like a nut and attempting to sleep sat up. It's totally cr*p isn't it? I had morning sickness until 24 weeks and then went into heartburn, aches and pains etc - I've not had that honeymoon second trimester that is talked about so it's all starting to feel like it's gone on too long and I can't cope. The house is a tip as we're decorating but I can't lift much to help so I'm sat looking at a mess all day feeling useless. Yeah me and OH can't agree on any names either - all my faves he really doesn't like, and I'm left thinking g*d you go through all this and can't even give bubs the name you love! Wow I'm having a right old whinge - this is great ; ) I guess I'm trying to say you are not alone, so when you are sat awake feeling like rubbish again at silly o'clock, just remember there are loads of other cheesed off tumm chewing, aching, hormonal desperate mums to be stuck in the same situation. Don't know about you but I feel better knowing that - there's something relieving about sharing a little misery I think ; D Hope things get better for you, I know everyone says it but not long to go hon. Big hugs xx
Exactly my thinking on the name front, if only our OH could be in our body for the day just to see how hard it is maybe we'd be able to name them whatever we like :) and yes it does help knowing that I'm not the only one going through it. I don't know why mother nature didn't make growing babies relaxing ;). I sometimes feel guilty moaning though as I do know it's all worth it in the end. Even the first couple of weeks when your thinking your life will never go back to normal and you can't see an end to the endless feeding, sleepless night's and the sea of nappies you seem to be wading through. Good luck to you too and hugs x

I know how you feel. I'm 40+2 now and fed up. People constantly keep asking me and my husband if we've had the baby yet- it's driving me crazy!!!! His mother is the worst, texting or ringing me everyday- i feel suffocated! It's as though people think we'll have the baby and not tell anyone! x
Me too! Im 40 +4 and soo fed up. Luckily Hubby is great and took my LO out for the day to give me abit of a rest! Baby is back to back so spend half the night awake with back pain and all day with a hot water bottle stuffed down my trousers lol!
Fed up getting the 'have you had it yet?' texts and calls. YES i had it days ago and didnt tell anybody!! AAArrghh!
I just keep thinking about meeting the bump soon (hopefully), finding out what it is and being home with my Hubby and 2 children and that keeps me going. I think we all deserve a rant though dont you?! :-)

OMG poor you, you should be taking it easy! I'm only 35+5 with my 1st and finished work 6 weeks ago. There's no way I could have carried on working, I was totally exhausted! Struggle to do things now! I really don't know how you do it!
