Exhaustion

Is anyone else about 35/36 weeks and completely and utterly drained? I’m 35+5 and I know it’s to be expected but wow I can’t focus on work, can’t be bothered to put my stuff into my hospital bag, the kitchen is in complete chaos and I just can’t move 😴

I’m 34w today and feeling this, I feel like I did all my nesting in the second trimester because I can’t imagine how I’ll have the energy to do anything now 🙈

@Alice I wish I did the same because the house is bothering me so much and I don’t have the energy to clean it 😭😂 tempted to ask my doctor next week to sign me off on maternity leave early

I’ve just moved my maternity leave forwards and added some annual leave in front of that so I can finish sooner for this exact reason. I am completely wiped out, don’t know how I’m going to get anything ready for baby and juggle looking after my son. Hoping with the stress of work gone, I’ll get a burst of energy 😂

@Ellie im sure you will, even the mental load of knowing you have to work is draining so hopefully when that lifts we’ll feel better!
