Can’t be preganant anymore - anyone feeling the same?

I’m 39 weeks tomorrow and can’t donit anymore, I feel so tired! My belly is enourmous, I can’t sleep, having heartburn all night, going through 5-6 gaviscons a night even that I don’t eat any heartburn food and don’t eat after 6 pm. It’s so difficult. I go to pee every hour during the night and can’t sleep anymore on my sides - want to sleep on the back😭. My legs feel like they are elephant legs and all the body is like I’m 100 years old (I’m 36). It’s my second child, first was 12 years ago and it was soo much easier. I had just Braxton Hicks and having pelvic pressure and electric pain when baby moves the head. Anyone feels the same? How do you manage?

i feel the same and i’m 35 weeks, i’m like fine stay until 37 weeks but then i want him ouuuuut 😭 it’s just getting unbearable and is ridiculously slow. the whole pregnancy went so fast until i hit 30 weeks and it’s been a slog ever since xx

I was feeling ok but suddenly feeling very big and way less mobile since hitting 37 weeks, this pregnancy is also 13 years since my last and I’m 37 so I’ve found I forgot all the aches and pains!

I’m 38+4 and feeling the same! Suddenly so so uncomfortable and sleeping is impossible

I’m 39 + 1 weeks but not feeling this way just yet.. it sounds like you might be close? I can imagine I will feel similar when I go past my due date! Mainly got aches & pains but no heartburn etc I’ve found long walks are now helping me get a full nights sleep ! I feel my pregnancy has gone way too fast and part of me feels I need more time before baby arrives so would happily have a couple more weeks being pregnant

Honestly I am DONE IN. 🫠 I’ve felt like this since about 35 weeks, but having had a night of prodromal labour earlier this week, I am well and truly ready for this baby to come out. I’m so frustrated at how much pain I’m in, and how little I can do for my toddler. I found the end of my last pregnancy hard, but it’s seemed much worse this time round! I got 3 hours sleep last night, and I’m actually looking forward to newborn nights (if this one if anything like my daughter) as I’ll get a better nights sleep 🥲

i’m 31 weeks today and i’m done, can’t bend down, can’t lie down without having horrendous heartburn but if i lie sat up my lower back is in bits. i’m shattered going up the stairs, my little one wants me to chase her and i’m just plodding behind her like a fat ogre😭
