Feeling lonely and fed up?

Anyone else honestly at the end of the road now with pregnancy, I feel so guilty saying this and I didn’t expect to feel this way but I’ve been off work for almost 4 weeks now and the days are so long and lonely just waiting. I feel like the past week has been the worst as I was 40 weeks this week. I just sit around waiting on my partner coming home so I’m not as fed up. Anyone else feeling the same? I don’t want to wish this precious time away as I’ve had a great pregnancy but I’m sooo done. Also feels like a lot of people due around the same time as me have had their babies already

That’s why I worked up until 40w 😆 my last day today. Can’t imagine what I’m gonna do with myself with all this free time next week 👀 my typical hobbies include sports and being super active which I can’t really do right now so I’m just gaming, reading, watching tv and chatting with friends and family in my spare time while waiting for spouse to finish his work 😆

Read books, get magazines, do birth prep, do baby prep, do breastfeeding prep, read up about postpartum, stock on meals, watch your fave movies, watch series, go out, exercise, bake. I can't imagine being bored. I have never been on my entire life. There are milion of things to do daily 🙌🏼🙌🏼😄 Learn new skill, learn language. Just use this extra time you have to your advantage. The more busy u get, the happier you will feel and accomplished as more productive and the more time will speed up!

I feel you! I’ve been nesting like a mad woman. Cleaning, organising, cooking and baking. Anything to distract myself from that dominant feeling. I fundamentally just want my baby in my arms now. Trying to cherish and embrace what could be my last ever day of pregnancy but the waiting game is real.
