Your not alone. Im 38 weeks and I litteraly spent all day yesterday in bed crying and sleeping because I woke up and decided to walk to the store and none of my shirts fit me anymore without my belly hanging out...so I got depressed and litterally cried for hours. Also isnt helping that im the last out of all the people I know to have their baby. I had at least 6 other people I know have babies between October  and january have their babies. Everytime I go on facebook I have to see their pictures of their cute little newborns as I lay here in agony trying to convince myself my baby will be here soon. So tired of hurting and being in pain and feeling like complete poop 24/7. This is my second baby and it just seems like its never going to end. I had my daughter at 33 weeks inexpectedly so going full term is a whole new experince for me. Not to mention im only 5,2 and a very petite person so carrying what I assume is about a 8 pound baby is exsusting and painful. My back is constantly hurting, and my legs have gotten to the point where they litterally will swell up or buckle when I walk to much. Believe me, I know how depressing it can be right now. But I know once my baby boy is here all this crap im going threw right now will be worth it. Cheer up. It gets better.
