Well I am currently pregnant with #2 as well and I am miserably pregnant too. Some days are really hard and some days are fine. I just try to remind myself every single day that it is ALL GOING TO BE WORTH IT when she is born. Not every pregnancy is the same and we can't expect that from our babies. Also 37 weeks is 3 weeks early and I am not judging you at all!! I promise but those last 3 weeks just give our baby extra time to make sure they are happy and healthy when born. I have 16 weeks left and I am so ready for this baby to be here but I have to wait. You just have to think about how wonderful a gift that baby is to you and maybe just plan this to be your last one. I am getting my tubes tied this time around. I haven't enjoyed being pregnant at all and I don't want to go through it again. Also everyone I have ever known that was stressed out and upset all the time had cranky babies and people that were relaxed and calm had great babies as well which can also affect your realtionship with that baby too. I understand how hard it is. I am 2 days from being 24 weeks and I am bigger then when I went into labor with my son...I can't sleep at all...I get worn out a lot easier...and it is so weird b/c I gained 44 lbs when I was pregnant with my son and so far I have gained 10 lbs and am 2 lbs from how much I weighted when I first got pregnant. AND I AM HUGE! Just really try not to let it get to you and think about how much better off your baby is going to be if it just waits 3 more weeks and how much more likely your baby is to be extremely healthy! people go through this all the time and it is normal. If you are really concerned I would talk to your doctor about it...they are going to know a lot better what could help you get through this! I hope all gets better and try not to worry so much...it will get better!

The moment you hold your baby in your arms all the pregnancy problems will have gone away. I promise you a mothers love is instant. Try and have a bath in the evening and do not drink tea or coffee or coke after 9pm. Try proppong up your belly with cushions whilst in bed and try to relax. You are not alone lots of us mums can't sleep when in the last few weeks. Sods law really as you know that you will not be getting a good nights sleep for quite some time. Make the most of your time now as you will be rushed off your feet when little one arrives. Good luck and try to relax.
