Okay first!!
Are you drained of energy or do you just feel
frumpy and nondesirble and kinda bad about yourself because you have swollen everything???
well if you are just exhausted then rest, relax in a nice tub with aromas that are yummy and maybe some candle light to soften the ambiance.Maybe go get a massage.
As for the later just understand your at the end of the pregnancy and it'll soon be over and that having a baby is the most wonderful thing in the world. definatly do some of the things I mentioned and use this time to get close with your partner before the baby comes. sex is kay but only if its comfortable and doesn't hurt.
Good luck and congrats

There's so many possibilities when you're preg!!
1. You could be in false labor.
2. It's pregnancy, get used to it, because you'll feel like this after the baby's born too!!
3. I doubt it's real labor, otherwise you would probly be having contractions, and/or your water would break. Real labor is worse then false labor, but often times they are mistaken for each other.
Just sit back and relax a little, eat whatever you want lol, pretty much live like a queen, do what you want, when you want, if you have the money, buy what you want. Eat what you want, sleep as late as you want, unless you have other children. Have your husband/boyfriend/partner baby you a little.
There isn't really much you can do about feeling like this. Try going for a walk with some friends, or going out for some food. Taco Bell usually made me feel better. Only because I couldn't have it that often.
What I WOULDN'T do, is stuff my face with sugar(even thought I said eat what you want. Remember, you have a baby inside you, you need to set limits for youself, for the baby!), I wouldn't do anything that makes you feel kinda stressed out, or if you feel like a muscle is being kinda stretched out stop right away! Especially if it's in your back, stomach, chest or groin area. Those spots can put you in the hospital under constant watch, or put you bed ridden, and could cause you to have a c-section, because you cant' push the baby out!
Put a heating pad on your back(make sure it's not to hot. You don't want to bake the baby!!), and eat some ice cream, or take a warm bath and have no more, then a glass of wine, or 1 wine cooler(flavored beer). The doc's will tell you that it's bad for the baby, the baby can be born drunk, or grow up to be an alcoholic. But they don't have any proof of it, and they won't actually tell you why you can't, unless you ask. As long as you don't get a buzz, or get drunk, the baby should be fine.
Supposedly, you can smoke a joint in the morning for neasea, but I wouldn't recomend it. That can seriously hurt the baby.

I know the feeling! You are 40 weeks and ready to go. Your getting tired of being pregnant and ready to get the show on the road! I felt the same way. Pamper yourself right now. Go get a massage, have a nice long shower, rest all you can. Believe me in a couple weeks you'll be tired and sleep deprived and the happiest person in the world because of your new bundle of joy!

Im 38 weeks and feel like crap too--Im trying not to do anything at all, lol
I spend time online-and lay down and read whenever sitting or standing gets to be too much for me.
good luck-it wont be long for you now!!
