Monday Moans

BRitchie87

Let's hear them, ladies!

Mine: my due date is tomorrow....and I haven't had a single contraction in 3 days -.-

jnlebean23

I just can't breathe. So much pressure on on lungs today.... Drop baby drop! I'm 38w2d

jabeauty90

All I want is sleep

DD2 still takes bottles. MIL told me I was going to have to watch that she didn't wind up having problems with food because she "eats too much" and is "getting fat"!! I wanted to choke her. DD2 isn't even a year old and a grown woman calls her fat?! I hate humans today.

natashii

Oh my god... I would have lost it on her. Brutal.

gollygeeitsamy

@str13 wow, what a terrible thing to say!

My Monday moan is I'm just so tired, I'm not sure how I'll get through the next two weeks at work.

cathieh

I'm 39 weeks today with #3 and I keep getting phone calls and texts from family asking if I'm still pregnant. Uhhh yes you will know when I'm not.

I'm getting those calls too. Depending on who it is, I'm now responding with "what baby?" Or "oh, I had her last week, didn't you get my email?"

cathieh

I literally talked to my dad Saturday afternoon. He card again Sunday afternoon to ask if I was still pregnant. Uhhhh yeah duh!

Blang2014

Baby can't drop cause she's facing sideways, causing fun false labor pains in my back and waking me up at night. Today started with starbucks. Ugh. Everyone at work says "wow still in there." Yeah shut it.

chelseajeanene

I don't know how much longer I can deal with how bad my fingers hurt and how sore and numb they are from this new carpal tunnel [-(

lulubemadness

I need the sleep ughhh...gonna be 38weeks tomorrow not dilated (half way thinned out soft cervix baby is really low) but nothing else.so much pain & swollen feet hard to walk with so much pressure. due date in 2weeks tho! can't wait for baby

hmburchell

My legs and feet are SO tired (along with the rest of me). I feel like I did a really intense leg workout and just don't want to walk, ever. 36w1d and a long ways to go!

Jenten810

@str13 Your MIL sounds like a real peach.

A handful of my coworkers made comments about hoping they wouldn't see me today. My thoughts exactly people! I have two weeks, but it's going to be a long two weeks if I have to hear that every day.

My other moan is that I still feel compelled to workout more for getting things moving vs. trying to build muscle/stay toned, but I walked into the gym today and immediately felt all eyes on me. I ended up leaving because I felt like I was going to make everyone uncomfortable.

irenejean

10 days until my due date. People say I should get plenty of sleep now, yeah, right. Last night I woke up every hour because of peeing or hip pains and that's typical. If the baby wakes me up every 2-3 hours for feedings, I'll actually be sleeping more than I am now. I'm glad the end is in sight!

thefuturemrsdaniel

The constant up and down that come from having contractions on and off but nothing regular or time able. It's not only physically exhausting but emotional. I've just had to keep busy to ignore them which makes me panic that I'm going to ignore them so long that I'm going to have him in the car. 2cm last week at my 36 week appointment so that's not helping things because I know things have started. 37 weeks tomorrow and Dr appointment Wednesday hopefully not much longer. Living on edge is exhausting haha

rebeccabloomwood

The humidity is killing me. My chest is heavy and body feels like it's made of lead.

Not much movement lately so went for an NST today. 30 mins nada. I was stressed. Two cups of OJ and baby was dancing away. She already has me on my toes.

yessirio

Headaches headaches!!! My allergies are killing me!!! I'm so miserable lately. I cried because I'm so done ugh lol

musicmomma00

Had to poop for the first time in a week while standing in the long line at the grocery store this morning. By the time I was through the line, urge was gone. Who knows how long the wait will be now?

Duckybears

Not being able to really bend over or turn my upper body. My toddler likes to sit in my lap but the pressure on baby is not helping.
I just want to be able to move like a normal person again!

callistosmile

I hate my job and wish I didn't need to work for the next two weeks because we need the money. Not due until the 23rd. Boyfriend wanted me to work as long as possible, but the 14th will be my last day, thank god. The chair is uncomfortable to sit in, standing up constantly to let people in at the front door and into the elevator is killing me, and I'm sick of all the annoying questions from complete strangers and the people who live here. I just want to put a sign up that says "I don't ask you about your body or family, so please don't ask me about mine" lol.

babyplut

I had the day off yesterday and today. Tomorrow is supposed to be my last shift at work waitressing and I'm dreading being bored and sitting at home. I want to work till baby comes

starryblue04

I'm so sleepy and don't want to do anything. I have so many things to take care of before baby is here and the only thing I want to do is climb into bed and watch reruns of the office until I doze off!

PregNancyClark

My bigger boy has started kindergarten and the mornings are so tough. He cries and doesn't want to wake up, eat, get in the car, go in, or say goodbye.
The upside? After a few minutes of class he gets over it and has a wonderful time!! He's doing great in class and comes home very happy!!! It's just the morning... Sigh.
I have about two weeks before baby comes, and I just want him to be ok before that. Today was pretty bad...

rholbrook7

My water broke last night, and now I'm waiting 48 hours to see if labor begins naturally. So far, nope.
Contractions, yes.
Timeable contractions, nope. (

pregat40

I have a horrible, productive cough with alot of phlegm for the past 9 days. I'm so over it. I just want to only have pregnancy things to contend with!

ABombard12

6  days till my first EDD and have been told this whole time a week/two early and still had to show up to work this morning... and hear "your still here???" by everyone I walk by first thing in the morning. YES I AM STILL HERE, thank you!

beansideirae

I have to preface mine by saying I'm usually pretty lazy about my house and let things pile up :-\" but currently I'm trying to keep my kitchen clean enough that if I were to be hospitalized for a couple days, we wouldn't come back to a smelly mess. well this morning I got up and found hubby had done some cooking (he stays up later than I do) and left the kitchen a greasy mess! not what I wanted to wake up to, I felt like crying.

AndieTessie

I'm sick of rotating the same 4 maternity tops. I miss my old clothes and I'm tired of doing laundry!

jferring

I am a teacher and was laid off in June. I found a new job but it starts tomorrow. I should be so incredibly grateful just to be getting a paycheck and insurance but I am so nervous about starting at a new place with a max of two weeks of being able to teach before having to leave (and only being able to take 6-8 weeks since I'm new and am not covered by FMLA.

Eta: I'm also dreading going into labor early before I get to officially start teaching which I feel isn't fair. I want to be able to just be excited that each twinge and crampy feeling is bringing my baby closer to meeting me and not dreading that it will mess up a stupid work schedule.

victoriah1516

I feel like I am having first trimester deja vu - nausea, heartburn, frequent bathroom runs (but just for #1....welcome back constipation) but now I can add "can't breathe" and "can't sleep" to the list.

Being at work is a blessing and a curse - it makes time go by faster but I wish I could be miserable at home! And I still have 4 weeks to go!

MW5280

I went to Costco in the hope that I could stock us up enough before D-Day.

I forgot about how it's not only a long process in the store...it's also a long process when you get home. It's now hour 2 of this experience. And I'd like a nap.

ForeverEverAfter

My moan is that I've now been off work for a whole month and have barely gotten anything done from my to do list!! Between the heat, pain and fatigue I've been taking it a day at a time. Now I have a bit of energy and I'm finally picking away at things, and M is refusing to nap *sigh*

ashleyoverson

Stranger at a deli today stopped in her tracks and yelled, "Wow you are HUGE!"

Thanks a lot like I didn't already know that.

WDDCH

My moan is about my dang feet! They are SO swollen despite my efforts to bring it down. They only got bad this last week and were normal before. I hate the jiggly feeling when I walk.

And this is a stupid thing and just not a huge deal but I will admit I wanted an Aug birthday for baby. Still some hours left in the day and I'm over 39 weeks... but looks like she may end up a Sept baby! Ultimately I want her to come when she's ready to come.

beansideirae

I have another one... got checked today and was really hoping I'd made some progress, but really nothing. 50% effaced, no dilation to speak of. doctor doesn't think this is my week. she offered to strip my membranes and I said no, because I really want baby girl to come when she's ready. but I am disappointed.

sgleave

I'm 39+ and at the doctor today my baby is so not interested in coming out she had to do an ultrasound to be sure he was in the right position because she couldn't feel his head at all during my cervix check. He is, he's just too high and my cervix is too thick, aka I'm going to be pregnant for the rest of time.

sararegine

My Monday moan is that I'm up so tired of having new pregnancy symptoms show up every day (carpal tunnel, itching/scratching, hip and back pain, baby literally standing on my bladder), not having had more than 2 hrs straight of sleep for more than 2 weeks now and DD1 - a toddler - basically never giving me a break (she's in full blown mommy mode aka let me be attached to you every single second no matter how hot is and how heavy I am).

To top it off I went to my 36 week check up today and DD2 is measuring big, about a week ahead (oh joy, cuz pushing her 8,4 lb big sister was such a walk in the park) but showing no signs of coming imminently despite doctor scaring me for past month that she might come early (now he says she looks snug in there).

And finally I've been forced to stop work which means my days go by much slower and I sit around all day wondering if my team is doing what they are supposed to do and if they are ok .,. including at 2am, 3am, 4am when I'm WIDE awake. I don't think I can take another 4 weeks of this. Did I mention I NEED TO SLEEP?

Texascat

Because of some interesting situations at work, we were REALLY shooting to have this baby in August (we would have benefitted with insurance and maternity pay) but I'm doubting that will happen seeing as there are less than 8 hours left...I'm 39w5d and have been 3cm dilated since 38 weeks. I was a solid 3cm dilated still at 39 weeks and 'a good bit effaced' and my doctor said I basically just needed to start having contractions. Never have I ever wished for pain more in my life! Except now I'm having pain but it's just crampy uncomfortable pain or acid reflux or feeling baby in my ribs and pretty much EVERYWHERE since he is measuring large. What happened to that day full of regular contractions I had at 36 weeks that landed me in L&D? C'mon, body! Today is my second day of officially being a SAHM (without the mom part) and I'm just bored and ready to get this show on the road! I'm miserable and hoping so badly that this baby is almost as ready as I am to get things started!

THIS. My fingers have been sausages for months now, but the last few weeks every single joint in them hurts and they are hard to use. They have the dexterity they would have if they were super cold so drawing, painting, or hand lettering *my loves* are so hard and painful to do. Nighttime is the worst, they feel like they are going to explode.

Its been one of those Mondays for me.

Found out about a million new things I have to tell my long term sub, which will make his job way more complicated. Had a 2 hr meeting after school which was way longer than it should have been. It's a good thing I am going out on leave soon because I may lose it on one or two of my Co workers before long.

Also found out I have way less sick days than I originally thought for my maternity leave. After I use those, $50 gets deducted out of my paycheck for each day I'm out.

My grandpa has had good days and bad days but he keeps talking about our LO coming soon, so that's his motivation factor. He's had lots of good days recently, but mom said he is very sick today, which has made me sad. Darn you pregnancy hormones.

Also, doctor said Friday I'm 50% effaced and closed up. I'm 39+3 today....come on kid. Help your momma out! I'm so tired of the "You're still here?!" Or "I figured you would have had her this weekend" comments.

Wow, that's a lot. Sorry to be a downer yahll!
