37 weeks today. C'mon! Slight rant

I read all these posts about women who feel great,have bursts of energy,clean their house...
I.....feel....like.....death!
I hurt my neck,I have a cold,I feel like I need to punish the toilet every 2 mins but I don't! i have constant cramps! The baby feels so heavy its like Im trying walk while squeezing a watermelon between my legs. Hes so heavy! Every movement feels so sharp like hes almost out.
It bums me out. This is baby #3. Maybe my last I really want to enjoy these last days. You never ever get them back! But I am so miserable. I wasnt this bad with my other 2.
My house is a wreck,I forgot to take the dog out and she peed on the floor. I gave my kids pizza rolls and cottage cheese for dinner last night. Mom of the year here lol
Can you believe I drive a 40ft school bus like this?
Words of encouragment,ladies? <3

I'm exactly the same, but I'm only 27 weeks. With twins. I want that burst of energy to clean my house and do my washing. I don't wanna vomit any more, I don't wanna sleep all day, I wanna cook dinner for the fiancee, I want a drink, take cold and flu tablets when I'm sick, have a hot shower & eat eggs again. I don't want the pain in my hips, the pressure in my back, the weak bladder & the swollen feet any more. I feel so selfish complaining but honestly, I've had anything but a smooth pregnancy.

Lol i get what you mean my last one i felt like he was about to fall out constantly, i could hardly walk,Braxton hicks were getting my hopes up every day not to mention the pelvic pain that kept me up every night so couldn't sleep. I was done at 36 weeks when he fully engaged but nooooo he had other ideas which included making sure he stayed put to make me miserable as long as he could here thats 42 weeks :( this time my baby girl is breech at nearly 35 weeks so there none of the pressure and pelvic pain yet but I'm sure I'll be looking forward to all that again very soon. I'm a crabby pregnant lady not a energy burst happy bubbly one lol :)

Im 37 and 4 and i feel like crap cuz my son got me sick and tylenol doesnt do jack....had a horrible nights sleep and i fed my kids breakfast food for dinner.i believe i deserve that award..lol. but i dont feel as bad as ur saying. Butst of energy..yea right..this is number 4. Pregnancy wise i feel awesome which is frustrating cuz he is just chilling living it up inside me. No pain no pressure no nothing. At least something to show hes ready. I dont want to go 40 weeks or longer...i was told i was 2cm and 60% effaced on monday but still nothing. All my others i went early so im atill crossing my fingers toes...everything...so juat hang in there. U know its worth it in the end. Juat take carr of urself. He needs u to be at ur best when he arrives....this too shall pass!!!!
