  I definitely feel your pain.  I have been measuring full term for about 3 weeks now, and everything pretty much sucks at this point.  Just be thankful that you're almost at the finish line.  You're so close.  I still have about 5 weeks to go (if I'm lucky). 

  Edit: I guess if we're saying here that "full term" is 37 then I've been measuring full term for 6 weeks...

  I'm already where you are and I still have 2 months left!  I'm tired of not being able to bend over.  I'm tired of trying to find something decent to where.  I'm tired of my back hurting, and my hips hurting, and of heartburn and watching what I eat (I have GD) and of having no interest in sex. 

  Ugg!  At least you'll be full term soon, and just think, right now you aren't wearing giant pads or have sore nipples or stiches in your lady bits!  Small blessings, right?

  I am so with you!!  I too am googling every possible way to induce labor (I'm drinking the red raspberry leaf tea and taking evening primrose oil etc.)

  I too have been very fortunate with this pregnancy - I did have morning sickness, but I haven't had the carpal tunnel or GD like some poor ladies have, so I feel like I have no right to complain or want to be done, but I am SO READY.

  People at work keep telling me that I'll "miss feeling her kick" but honestly, I'd much rather see her than feel her kick in my stomach (which sometimes makes me feel queasy).  Maybe I'm a bad mom, but I honestly don't think I'll miss any part of being pregnant... 

  Some things I've found for induction (well... old wives tales I'm sure!)  Eggplant Paremsano (or something like that - a restaraunt in Georgia serves it and has a "wall of babies" born after eating it - they have the recipie on there for you too), nipple stimulation, increasing evening primrose oil (and inserting it vaginally).

  Good luck to you!

  I will defiantly NOT miss being pregnant. I had the perfect pregnancy the first time around and still DID NOT miss it. This pregnancy has sucked but is finally better in the third trimester. (which I know sounds weird) 

  As for natural induction I have heard

  Raspberry leaf tea

  castor oil (that one sounds gross I am not interested in trying that)

  Sex (alot of sex)

  nipple stimulation ( Ive heard you have to do it forever though)

  acupuncture (I think thats around $60 a treatment) 

  membrane strip (If you dilated, but to me sounds creepy)

   Spicy food or Indian food

  and I googled recipes to cause induction and found one for eggplant parmasan

  Last time I had a baby I tried none of these so im not much help in telling you which ones actually work.

  I was doing alright for most of it, having a rough time but ok. But this past week, and I'm sure for the next 2, I have been so weepy and depressed.

  I agree with all of you!! I'm so over it. I have had the so called "perfect pregnancy" as my doc would call it. Felt queasy but not actually sick, no complications (anemic but better now) and personally haven't gained too much weight. I used to feel ashamed to tell people I hate being pg but not anymore. Everyone is different and some women love it and some don't. This is our first and if I have anything to do with it, it'll be a while before #2.

  I am so ready to be done being pregnant. I hear I may regret saying this in about a month and everyone tells me I will miss it, but jeez.. It's not that much fun and I want to meet my little man already!

  I have had a very good pregnancy and have been very lucky (no morning sickness or any complications), but it's just gotten to the point where I am so uncomfortable and everyone feels the need to call me fat or tell me I look like I'm about to pop. I get it people! I own a mirror and I am stepping on the scale weekly now. And no it's not okay to ask me how much weight I've gained! I literally have like 5 shirts and 2 pairs of jeans that fit, otherwise I'm in yoga pants and a hoodie and not wanting to leave the house. I'm over the "pregnancy is beautiful" thing.

  I've had stretch marks on my hips, but yesterday I found some under my belly (Happy Easter! ). I go from feeling fine to all the sudden I have a pounding headache, contractions, or heartburn, and one minute I want to cry and curl up in a ball and the next want to bite someone's head off! Stupid hormones.

  I will be full-term on Thursday and you can believe I'm googling the sh*t out of "ways to induce labor at home"! Anyone else in the same boat? Suggestions? Thanks for letting me vent!

   

  I feel the EXACT same way!  I'm over it, I'm done & I have had a relatively easy pregnancy, so I can't imagine how other mommies out there feel...  I'm just really uncomfortable I guess.  I'm with you on the stretch marks, I went SO LONG with only having a few on my hips & then BAM!  35 weeks there were some on the underside of my belly.

   

  I'm sure I'll eventually 'miss' being pregnant, but for now, I know that all of my pain & discomfort at least means my little boy is growing big & strong!

  This is exactly how I feel.. I'm due May 11th and I get so frustrated hearing the pregnancy is beautiful thing and how celebs make it look so easy! Same thing about the stretch marks i was doing so good and now am noticing some developing on my hips.

   

  Ahhhh I have one more week of work and the past couple days It has really clicked in like OKAY enough is enough i'm over this crap. Sore, tired etc etc no clothes that fit.

   

  Soon enough sistah short term pain long term gain

  Thank you for this!! I was just lurking thinking I miss being pregnant... I think I forgot how uncomfortable it is at the end- and i shouldnt since my DD is just shy of 6 months now.

  I started trying to induce labor at 38 weeks- had her at 38.5 so I guess it worked?

  Hang in there, the end gets hairy but meeting your baby for the first time is way better than you can imagine.
