I'm 37 weeks plus a few days and I'm fine, guess.
I do get exhausted more quickly, my hips hurt from sleeping on my side the whole time, I have full on heartburn issues, I get swollen feet/ankles/legs if I don't rest and put them up regularly, my belly feels like it is going to burst sometime soon, AND I am hot all.the.time!
But I am thinking: what can you expect? I guess I am still luckier than most, so I will not complain
Nesting is almost done and the house is in a great condition, also thanks to DP, who has been working constantly (check out the nice space DP made for the birth: https://fotoalbum.web.de/gast/franziholub/birthtub) and in three days my midwife plus DH and DD will arrive and stay until the start of July
Soooo.... I am thinking maybe two more weeks tops would be perfect
Then I wouldn't have to wait THAT much longer and we would all have enough time to get to know each other before the action starts...
I am SLIGHTLY worried that this could be wishful thinking, but I'm trying to stay positive and expect the bean right around it's EDD, which is about the 20th.
ps: oh, and I have to add the food thing: I can eat enormous amounts of food these days! After I had a really hard time eating at all for a while I easily beat DP now and the bean is growing accordingly... It really feels like my belly is growing noticeably from day to day.

I am now going to ignore that feeling if it comes again.
