Having a bad day

Woke up this morning feeling like it's just not my day. I really wanted to get some cleaning done but all I did was vacuum. I've been laying on the couch all day moping and crying. I'm 39 weeks exactly and have been mentally prepared for immanent labor since 37 weeks. But of course nothing is happening and I know I could be waiting 3 more weeks. I just don't want to be pregnant anymore and I want to meet my baby :'( the suspense is driving me mad and I'm so tired. So done. And I have to go to work tomorrow.. just no. Usually I'm positive and tolerant but today is just really bad :(

    Haha sounds like me this morning. I woke up and almost wanted to cry because I was still pregnant. It's been weeks of possible labor and one trip to l&d to only be sent home because I wad only 4cm and 38 weeks so I had to "do it on my own". I was having painful contractions all morning but they died off as usual. If I don't have him tomorrow it will be the longest time I've been pregnant. I thought 2nd ones came earlier but not this guy. Your not alone in your frustration from another one that usually looks for the good in everything.

    I woke up in the worst mood too! I have the same due date so maybe that's part of it haha. Tried having sex to see of it would move things along at all, but the baby just kept moving so I couldn't stop thinking about him the whole time. Proceeded to get up to do my stuff for the day and was just so irritated over nothing. My mom came over to help me do some errands and when she got here I almost started crying about nothing and she just laughed and said "Wellllll, you're 9 months pregnant..." So it's not just you! Hopefully you feel better soon and we don't go two weeks late lol

    Very frustrated here too! Two nights ago I was having regular contractions and decided to go to bed hoping I'd wake up in labor but nothing. I haven't had any false labor since Friday. :( I just want to be holding my baby already.

    Yeah, I feel you. I don't want to go to work tomorrow. I am just so damn tired of being pregnant and tired in general. Dragging my ass to work every day is just becoming too much and I worry that when it's finally time for LO to make his appearance I'll be too tired to make myself go through labor. Every day that I leave work I clean everything up hoping that I won't be back!!

    I'm sorry momma!! I totally get it that you're done. I don't even know what to say to make you feel any better. When I'd get down about having to go to work on a cruddy day, I'd just think about getting to "take baby along with me"! I know it doesn't really help, but knowing baby was right in my belly gave me some margin of strength!
    Hang in there momma! I hope it gets better. :)

    I'm with you. I'm sitting here talking to the baby and begging him to come out so that I don't have to go to work tomorrow. I just want my body back.

    I really like that actually. I have to return to work 6 weeks after delivery so I guess the longer baby is in the more days I get to spend with her and not worry about leaving her with a sitter. That really helps, Thank you :)

    I am sooo in this boat today! I was going to post the same thing! I'm 39+1 today. I'm almost wondering if mood and feeling so awful is a sign of labor.

    I woke up and felt so tired, then had to go to a Playdate with my 2 yo and her cousins (which I really wanted to go to so I could be around my cousins one more time before baby) and I could feel that I was just miserable and whiny the whole time. I stayed too long and hoped to get home and nap while DD napped but of course she (and I) didn't.

    Meanwhile my husband was out with his cousin and had been drinking so everything he does is annoying me, even though he's being incredibly patient and super helpful.

    I feel like the top of my abdomen is a pulled muscle and every stretch the baby does actually hurts and it even hurts to touch.
    Sigh.

    Now I'm just rambling because I can't even pinpoint what my complaints are.

    I definitely googled if mood swings were a symptom of labor earlier hahaha! Ramble away. I did the same thing!

    I've been in this same boat today. I had a disagreement with my MIL yesterday and my foul mood carried over until today. I'm 37+5, so I've got further to go than many of you ladies, but I'm just tired. I spent the better part of the day curled up on the couch with my pup while my DH finished some of his honey dos. I don't even feel the least bit guilty about my nonproductive day. I've been working overtime the last 3 weeks to get stuff done before baby and I'm exhausted and grumpy.

    This was me last night! My due date is tomorrow and I just broke down crying; feeling like I'll be pregnant forever. Hubby was understanding and calmed me down. I'm so happy I cried it out- I was in much better spirits today. Hang in there, our LOs will be here before we know it!

    38 weeks and so done (I know there's still time before EDD...but I've hit the point where I just can't care anymore.)

    I have to second @akg629 on the cry it out method. I always feel a little like I'm on the crazy train headed west when I do cry it out, but I always feel better.

    Oh man I was a wreck this morning! Balling for no reason, finally got out of bed to get ready for the day and saw my face in the mirror and balled again! Haha. I'm 40 weeks tomorrow and just want to meet him! Every morning I wake up still pregnant I'm sad.

    I cried today too just before dinner because I am uncomfortable, moody and my tummy is tight evertime I walk or stand. I have 12 days until due date. My mom and husband who were there were very sympathetic which helped. I think I just needed a quick cry it out moment.

    This must be a common symptom. I've cried every day for the past week. I'm six days overdue and every day had been 95 degrees and I don't have air conditioning. It's been the most miserable week! I'm sitting in this house we just moved into that I hate in a neighborhood that I hate in insufferable heat with practically zero signs of going into labor anytime soon! Ugh!

    I feel the same way!! I turned 39 weeks today!!! And I am just done!!! I feel like every night when I go to bed I should make sure that everything is ready to go I case I go into labor over night and every morning I wake up and nothing happens... I feel huge, uncomfortable and sore... And I break into tears every morning and every night before bed just because I am sooo ready to have him out. This is not what I thought was supposed to happen... I am soo stressed out.. I keep telling people he is too comfy in there and plans to stay in there till college( god I hope not) but I mean I am mentally done with it. I just want to meet him

    I've been feeling entirely the same for weeks. I'm 38 weeks, dilated and lost my plug and no sign of baby!!! I already have my return date to work. I was hoping he would come a little early so I have some extra time with him before he is shipped off to daycare. I was in tears after the dr. Told me yesterday that I'm nowhere near ready. It does bring some relief that you guys feel the same and I'm not nuts.
