Ah, I remember these days. I was so uncomfortable and impatient. Honestly, there's not much you can do. Do you have a pregnancy pillow? If not, I highly recommend one. It really helps relieve some of the pressure and can't help you sleep better. This is also a good time to relish your last days before your baby comes. Trust me, you'll be WAY more uncomfortable, tired, and emotionally drained during the postpartum period. I wish someone would have told me this during my last few weeks of pregnancy... I would've done a lot less whining and a lot more me time. Hang in there. The baby WILL come. For now, relax, meditate, sleep in, paint your toe nails, etc. :)

Oh and excuse me, I just realized this is your second pregnancy, so you know what postpartum is like and all that jazz ;). But, I think the important thing here is to try not to worry about the aches and pains and really take these last couple of weeks for YOU!
