36+ weekers...when did you 'hit the wall"?

When did you gals "hit the wall" of being pregnant? I've heard friends talk about being 'done' with pregnancy and I'm afraid I've gotten to that point. Am I being winey or is this feeling normal? I want him to stay put as long as he needs to but I just now got to the point where I can't get comfy anymore, the heat is so draining I can't stand it, and I just really really really want my baby!
TIA!

Re: 36+ weekers...when did you 'hit the wall"?
I'd say 39 weeks was about it. The last straw was when my giant belly and swollen feet and hands started itching like crazy ... it's miserable.
I'm due the same day and have to agree- as far as comfort goes it hasn't gotten much worse and I'm lucky to not have swelling- but when it comes to work, my head just isn't in it anymore. I sit at my desk and stare at the computer and do about half as much as I used to!
Not sure if I ever hit a definate wall...there have been little one's. But the symptoms went away and I started to feel great again.
My current wall is feeling depressed about being induced this coming week (for medical reasons) and none of the OWT working. But it will be what it will be.
No wall yet, but I know I can still have up to 5 weeks left.... I have a feeling the second I finish (IF I finish) all the house/nursery/life to-do's I'll hit that wall hard. Maybe that's why instead of getting stuff done the second half of today I've basically vegged out on the couch thinking about all the things I should do:)
We're all close mamas!!!!!!!

I am due today and I hit the wall a few weeks ago!!! It gets even better when everyone starts to call you asking where the baby is! I wish she was here too! I did not get round ligament pain until 2 weeks ago and it is also special when your belly goes numb bc it has physically stretched to its limits......
Gosh, I hope she comes soon!
Week 35 did it for me. However, I was diagnosed with cholestasis then, and so I suspect that had something to do with it. I may have been able to be happier with being pregnant longer if that hadn't happened.
Of course, in a larger sense, I've been over it for awhile--I am not a person who likes pregnancy.
This.....I have not slept more than 2 hours a night since around 25 weeks
I'm 39 weeks and 3 days, and I still haven't hit the wall.
Of course, I'd love for her to come out today, especially with all the BH/real contractions I've been having, but I honestly am o.k. with waiting awhile longer.
I'm fairly uncomfortable, but nothing worth getting in a tissy over. I'm probably just not as uncomfortable as others are.
I'm about 36 and a half weeks and I think I can relate to how you're feeling. I have been expecting all along that I will be one of those who goes 41-41.5 weeks so I certainly never planned or expected for my LO to come earlier. I want him to come only when he is good and ready. BUT - at this point he can be good and ready any time now and I'd be perfectly happy with that. It is so hot and I am so uncomfortable and not sleeping well that there is not much for me to do except feel like I am sitting aorund (hot, uncomfortable, with little sleep) waiting for him to come. I think for me it is this feeling (already!) of sitting, waiting that makes it the worst. So, I think I have hit a wall but I also wouldn't be suprised if at some point later (39, 40, 41 weeks - don't know when), I will *really* feel like I hit a wall and look back at the 36 week timeframe as not so bad.
This past week. I just threw in the towel and said I'm ready when you are baby girl. Emotionally I'm drained and physically I ache horribly.
