So yesterday I felt a bit groggy and this morning I woke up with a full blown cold and feel absolutely crap!

I didn't sleep very well either last night, or the night before or before that and so on and so on.... I think the anxiety is setting in now causing serious insomnia, which is most likely why I am poorly now, lack of

Not to mention the really irregular pains I have been getting for the last week or so now, when I did finally drift off I kept waking because of them last night and had a couple this morning when I had just woke up and was lying in bed, but when I get out of bed.... nothing!!

Also that scratching feeling down there has been more extreme for the last few days, every time LO is active, which is often, I get that feeling and it flippin hurts and often stops me in my tracks!

The braxton hicks I get are becoming more frequent too, and makes me feel very light headed and breathless when I get them, feel like I could faint if I stand up!

Also I thought I had avoided these but typical me gets them right at the end, but I have PILES and they hurt too and my hips are starting to hurt again especially when in bed turning around, I wake up sometimes and it feels like my whole body has locked up and like I have been sleeping on a stone floor or something.

I'm tired, groggy, aching, in pain and just generally fed up now, I haven't had a show (which I have been checking for religiously) which would at least give me some hope that the end is finally here.

I know the end is technically nearly finally here but it feels like it couldn't go any slower and each day I am feeling all the more worse and really anxious to meet my baby!

Sorry to go on ladies but this is how I feel today and with nobody to share it with but my 8 and 5 yr old I needed to vent somewhere or I fear I may cry ALOT!

Anyhoo, I'm going to do some washing up to try and get me in the mood for the day!

You don't aways get a show before you go into labour i didn't with either of mine so just because you haven't had a show doesn't mean you can't go into labour at any time. Hope you feel much better soon though as having a cold this close to having baby must be horrible for you. This place is great for getting things off your chest though so don't feel sorry for venting.

i know how you feel i have had irregular pains. so bored sat at home every day but strangely dont want to leave the house. Just walked to the shop to get some air, only 5 mins away and it was painful when walking, think that might just be since baby is engaged now. I feel like this time is going slower than the whole of my pregnancy lol, I just want my baby out now!!!!
