Anyone else very close (38 weeks +) and sick of waiting??? When are you due?

Question

I am 38 weeks and 5 days pregnant and started my maternity leave a little over a week ago. I know that bub is not due for another 9 days but there does not seem to be any signs of impending labour and the waiting is really getting to me. I am trying to pass the time by doing useful stuff but get tired and back pain quite easily.

Anyone else feel like this? Any suggestions to help pass the time?

Answer 1

I went into labor the day before I turned 40 weeks.

Just relax and take long baths.

It will make you feel better.

Go get a pedicure and use the massage on it.

Pedicures were like heaven for my swoll ankles.

Answer 2

I did...Just WALK WALK WALK WALK Trust me!!!

Answer 3

I'm 37 weeks pregnant, but I feel like I can have this baby at any time. I have been having contractions or braxton hicks for the past four days still no baby. I stay at home with my 16 month old daughter and try to do something everyday with her to pass the time. Don't worry you're baby will be here soon.  

Answer 4

Answer 5

yeah i hear ya!!! My due date is 3 weeks away im 37 weeks and i am tired of waiting as well. I try to walk but i get very uncomfortable and if i stand for too long i feel like i am going to pass out... I have to get in the electric buggy when i go grocery shopping. I have had near fainting episodes if i shop and have to stand in a long line. I cant wait to be able to stand again for a long time without feeling that passing out fainting feeling... it doesnt help that i have low blood pressure as well.

I cant wait for my first baby boy to be here. I just pretty much clean and sleep all day. I know that i wont be doing much once he gets here but it sure is a good feeling to know that pretty soon i will be able to see my beautiful baby and not be pregnant anymore!!! LOL.. i told fiancee not another one for a few years I need time to recover. I am sure that I will change my mind once i see my baby though!! congrats!!!
