It always feels like it's so far away! But, haha careful what you wish for! I had three full term babies (40wks, 39.5wks, and 39wks) so when I started getting uncomfortable with my fourth I kept wishing she'd come early....she sure did! Water broke at 32wks and she was born at 34. Tough little thing...biggest personality you have ever seen. Lol, hang on girl you're really almost there. Take as many warm baths as you need to take some of the pressure off your sore bits...floating that belly can help. Or swim! I swam a ton with all of mine.

Awww, I know that feeling well! (I have four kids). That last stretch to the end is always miserable, but the good news is that sooner or later your baby should "drop"... Which will ease some of the pressure on your ribs and lungs. Unfortunately it puts a little more pressure on your lower back, lol. But can't win em all! It'll be over soon, and this will all be a fond memory. Hang in there, you're getting close!

I feel your pain! I'm 35 weeks and it hurts to even just stand! I didn't have the rib pain with my first so I don't know why I do this time! I use ice packs at night while I'm resting it helps
