You're so close... you can do this! Get a few movies, your favorite food, and something sweet and camp out on the couch tonight. Try to rest & do something enjoyable & relaxing. Rest is great. Fresh air is good too! I took lots of short, leisurely walks the last week or so.

Also, if you think you're getting sick definitely go to the dr! I started feeling crappy during my last week, but ignored it and it turned out to be an awful sinus infection and I needed antibiotics. Thankfully I had just enough time to finish my meds and heal up before labor. If I wouldn't have gotten the meds I wouldn't have been physically able to labor!

You're almost done! Try to make some you time. To combat the sicky feeling, try sitting in the steamy bathroom. That can help open up any sinus congestion. Sleep as much as possible even though bed many not be comfortable. If possible, splurge on a maternity massage. Or get a chair massage.
Hopefully this helps.

You are so close!!! I bet you feel like crap because you only have a couple days left!

My feet were really swollen on Saturday and I got a pedicure--the swelling was MUCH less that evening. Go do something nice for yourself. Soak in the bath with a good book.

ohhhhh you are so very close. Just take it hour by hour (by now I'm sure day by day is tough since you are probably having trouble sleeping!!) and spoil yourself with yummy food. And do whatever you can to get rid of your congestion-- I was congested during my first delivery and trying to breathe through contractions is SO hard when you are stuffed up!!! I vote for lots of steam, hot hot showers and sitting in a steamy bathroom, mist humidifiers, lots of vitamin c and zinc if you can... and as much rest as possible!! LOTS of fluids!!!
