Anyone just tired and in pain?

I'm 38 weeks today and let me tell you that every day I think "this is the day!!" Last night I got terrible Braxton Hicks, which had to be Braxton Hicks because today I don't feel anything. It lasted all afternoon and all night. I lay to the right and it hurts and then I lay to the left and after 30 minutes that hurts and the turning over hurts the most. Went to the doctor and he said "cervix is a little short but that's it."

Anyone else have Braxton Hicks really hard for a long time or feel like they're legs are going to fall off? My goodness! I do not remember this with my first 9 years ago. Is this because I'm over 30 now? I'm 33 so really, not like I'm in bad shape at all but this is rough! I know everyone says "you'll know when the contractions are real" but they were coming every 6 minutes on the dot and they really hurt and were uncomfortable and then this morning nothing! I know it's only two more weeks but it's driving me nuts! Sorry to vent!

Oh yeah, I forgot, last week I was in total nesting mode and now I'm in total exhaustion mode! I feel like I should clean more but I just don't have the energy!

I could be you! I'm a few days shy of 36 weeks and that is how I feel. I am extremely uncomfortable and some nights the pain is so bad.

Aww, you're almost there! I'm only 26 weeks and some days are just really uncomfortable. I never realized until now that I'm actually going through it how beautiful but extremely hard pregnancy can be. Try to hang in there, your beautiful bundle of joy will be here soon!
