I'm 33 +1 weeks pregnant and just wishing for it to be over now. Dont think i can survive another 7 weeks. I'm in quite a bit of discomfort now and especially today where i hurt from head to toe and unmentionable places too. Think some of the aches and pains may be down to the nesting syndrome kicking in, i kind of went on a mad cleaning spree the last couple of days with lots of ruthless decluttering of toys the scary thing is i quite enjoyed it, which believe me is quite unusual for me. I just hope it lasts until i finish the final 3 rooms upstairs. I'm only 1.5 weeks away from when i delivered my little girl so i'm supposed to be taking it easy but when you get the urge you just gotta go with it and i'm feeling very restless so sitting with my feet up is the last thing i want to do even if it was possible with a busy 2 year old running around.
I finished work on sunday so i'm a lady of leisure now, well sort of. The hospital had advised that i dont do any lifting at work from now on and since about 90% of my job as a health care support worker involves manual handling of some discription, we came to a mutual decision that i would finish a bit earlier than planned. I think its probably a good thing though, it means i can spend more time with my little one before the baby arrives and i can try and get the house in order for the arrival, oh and rest of course.
Feeling quite tearful at the moment and very irritable, putting it down to pregnancy hormones though. I just hope they settle down soon, i feel like i'm either a walking teardrop or an arguement waiting to happen.
I've been giving the birth a bit more thought recently but to be honest i think denial is the best place to be. I hated the whole experience last time and the thought of having the same sort of birth again isnt a nice thought to have, it wasn't all that traumatic compared to some stories i've heard but it was just everything i didnt want. But i suppose you just have to think positively and if i can get past 37 weeks i'm well on my way to the water birth i wanted first time around.
On a more happy note, its Mother's day on sunday (my little girl was born on Mother's day, lets hope history doesnt repeat itself) so that's something to look forward to. Happy Mother's day to all of you who are mums or mums to be out there, hope you have a good day however you spend it.
