  I think it sounds normal in the moment. I'd be more concerned if all you ever had was dread only. If you can, just try to relax, don't overthink it, and bond with your inside baby and try to enjoy your last days of pregnancy. There are great books to read like Happiest Baby on the Block and you can always organize baby's clothes or nursery. I've never been able to contain my excitement when folding tiny baby clothes! I also love surfing Pinterest on the kids board and the home board.

  I sat down over the weekend and sorted the whole nursery... which i was proud over and excited about because i finally felt ready... then i got bitched at last night for moving one box of my partners dads personal belongings.... (yes i live with my partner in his dads house - but his dads 90% at his partners. He shouted at me last night after giving me consent to sort the nursery... just because of one stupid box. And its really rocked me... upset, anger... and its now effected my bond with bump. As if ive let down my child before hes born... it seems i cant do anything right according to anyone else... i try hard. But someone is adamant to knock me down again

  That does sound hard. Just keep advocating for yourself and don't let anyone tear you down for things. If communication is a constant issue and not just an in the moment stress moment, counseling is a good idea. Try to be honest in those moments too and use "I/me" centered statements so they know that they're hurting you, like "I'm feeling very hurt that I can't organize the nursery and nest because of one small issue." I hope things improve and never be shy to stand up for you and LO!

  I think it might be a sign of impending labor.  I am due on the 28th and this weekend I got crazy.  I started yelling at everyone and making everyone clean and shop and organize.  (still not done to my satisfaction)  This scared the crap out of everyone because I am pretty easy going, fun and lazy about the house.  Then yesterday, for no reason, I got Angry with everyone.  Things that are normally okay for me were ticking me off!!  

  I hope your partner will be a little more understanding.  I doubt there was any harm done by moving one box of his dad's stuff, but maybe he is freaked out too?  Best of luck Momma, the end may not seem soon enough but it is definitely near!

  Sorry i should have explained better... its my partners dad that had a flip at me. My partner came home from work last night to find me crying in bed and it fuelled his anger that his dad was inconsiderate for going OTT over a box. He didnt want to leave me to go to work today but had to. He worries about me because i struggle for breath anyway as ive been told my baby is going to be bigger than big (length and weight) so crushing my lungs and dislocated a rib. Legs have swollen to double theyre size so walking and balance are way off. Hes being a brilliant other half to me. But i could have done without the yelling from his a.hole father... especially when he expected me to sit listening to his relationship issues afterwards... no chance. Thankyou both for trying to reassure me... it has helped. Im just down in the dumps and feel isolated.. this group thankfully shows me im not alone as we all have our low moments. X
