| I'm going into my 37th week and I am EXHAUSTED. All the time. At work, around noonish or so, I am constantly fighting to stay awake. It doesnt help that I have a toddler to chase after and I'm constantly waking up in the middle of the night - back pain, needing to pee, etc.. UGH! Anyone else on the same boat? Anyone have any words of wisdom, advise on how to survive these last few weeks? |

I'm right there with you...36 and 4 today, and really wondering how I'm going to work until the end. I work in biglaw, and the partner I work for has been great about me backing off a little on my facetime...don't know if that's a possibility for you, but I was surprised how receptive he was when I brought it up. Toughing it out until 3, taking a 20 min nap at home, and then working the rest of the day from there makes a HUGE difference for me...at least for the last few days I've tried it.
I just keep telling myself to take it one day at a time, and that it CAN'T be that much longer...please don't let it be much longer.... |

| I'm 37 weeks, too, and have a 3 year old and am pooped!...but fortunately I work full-time, so at least I get a break for part of the day! No advice, except that at least we don't have too much longer to go! Wishing you the best! |

I'm 37 weeks and 2 days, get tired but not so much exhausted (knock on wood). But I too am so over being pregnant. DD is almost 27 months old and I work/own my own business so I'm working almost full time (I've backed off a little - thank God for wonderful employees).
Can you possibly do some telecommuting so that you can get a little repreve prior to the arrival of the baby? And I think we're all in the same boat, not a restful nights sleep in a LONNNNGGGG time - and not one in sight for a while either.  But on the upside, we're almost at the end of pregnancy. YAY!
