End of pregnancy question?

Question

Hi ladies I am 36 weeks pregnant, and I can't wait to have this baby I am so excited!! I have everything ready and organized for the baby to come, the house is clean, my only problem is I am sooooo bored with nothing to do and I have 4 weeks to go. I have the hospital bags packed and next to the door, the carseat is ready to go. My hubby takes the car to work everyday so I am at home and bored, I can't find anything on the internet or TV to keep me interested for very long. All I can think about is having the baby. I am sooooo bored. Does anyone have any advice on what to do to pass the time until labor?

Answer 1

You need to get out! Tell hubby you are driving him to work and keeping the car for the day. Go to the mall and window shop and walk, or go to a matinee with your girlfriends for a last hurray! Whatever you do, pamper yourself! This will be your last chance for a while!

Answer 2

I know what you are going through.
Do you have your babies Baby Book??? There is a part in the back about what you think of the baby and things you want for your child. You can always fill that out.
You can read the book "What to expect when your expecting" and you can also buy and read the book, "What to expect the first year" that is all about what will happen after you bring the baby home. Really interesting stuff. You can highlight the good parts. It is something that will keep you busy for a while.
Something I did because I got so bored was I got all the envelopes ready with all the addresses fo the people I was going to send announcements to. I even had all the stamps on them. I also wrote a little note to go in each envelope. That will definitely keep you busy for a while.
I hope this has helped you.
Congratulations.

Go for a long walk, drink plenty of water and keep your phone with you at all times, Then go home and have a long soak in a warm bath and get lots of rest. I remember people saying that to me with my first (I ignored them of course) Wish I hadn't!! I 27 wks pregnant with baby 3 and would really love to have some moments of down time. Just for me and the baby. GOOD LUCK. Walking helps induce labour sometimes

Answer 4

do you like scrapbooking? is the baby's book up to date? are all the baby's clothes washed? you could cook a few meals to freeze for the first few days the baby is here! do you have any close friends who are stay at home moms that could come get you and you could spend the day together either out or at the house? even if all your all your friends work why don't you see about meeting one of them for lunch?

Answer 5

i think your soreness. I even have had heartburn considering that i replaced into 12 weeks, now i'm 36 weeks. I awaken practically each and every night, countless circumstances a night via fact it hurts so undesirable, to no longer point out the soreness i think via out the day! and each so often it rather is not in basic terms heartburn, a sprint throw up will incorporate it! My well being practitioner advised me my in basic terms thoughts have been to take maalox or tums. I take the graceful dissolve tums, they are no longer practically as chalky and practically soften in my mouth. So, I keep tums everywhere. In my handbag, via my mattress, and in my lounge. while i'm in basic terms having gentle heartburn i attempt to drink a tumbler of milk and each so often which will help a sprint, i in my opinion think of soda makes it worse. i'm sorry you're dealing with this too, a minimum of it rather is going to end as quickly as we supply beginning! they say stay faraway from particular meals, yet I swear each and every thing supplies me heartburn!

Answer 6

buy your baby a journal.

begin to write in it (similar to a baby book but more descriptive).
tell your baby how you met your husband, tell her stories about how you dated, how he proposed, your wedding. how you found out you were pregnant, funny cravings, comments on your pregnancy, advice people gave you. names you are considering.

this will take time but imagine how priceless that journal will be to that baby. it is something he/she will keep for a life time.

continue to write in it every couple months and tell the baby about the illnesses and worry you experience, tell the baby about outings, visitors, foods they like/dislike. tell them how they are driving you crazy and you need them to sleep all night. these will be priceless memories you will likely not remember in a year's time. even the frustration is important to convey.

when you are not writing, try stretching. it will relax you and give you some comfort in the coming weeks.

research outings to take your baby in the coming months. maybe there are places or mommy groups that gather. consider starting a club yourself.

pick out a few books to read (you won't have time later)

join netflix and watch some movies or start watching a tv series you never followed.

overall, take good care of yourself.

Answer 7

How good a cook are you?? After you have this child you will not want to cook for a few days, prepare casserole type meals that you or your husband can through into the oven or microwave. freeze them...this will be a really big help ..btw, good luck..

Answer 8

Sleep! You need your rest and heaven knows, after the baby gets here, you won't get to sleep for months and months!! :)

Reading out loud is good too, it let's the baby hear your voice and listen to music, sing out loud too. Though the baby doesn't understand, he/she will build a bond with your voice.

Answer 9

just relax try sewing? or cooking extra meals and freeze them for when the baby does get here you can have extra time with the baby instead of worrying about meals and stuff for dinner

Answer 10

Relax!! Once the baby comes you will miss your days of being bored with nothing to do. Just take it easy you will have plenty to do for the rest of your life!!
