Are we done yet?

Jess0813

This is baby #3 for me and i swore i wouldnt be as impatient this time. After all i have 2 toddlers at home to keep me busy. But at 33 wks im ready for it to be over. Im not sleeping, my hips and pelvis are killing me and its so hard to move and bend. Anyone else feeling soooo done?

Bombmom3

Here!!

This is #3 for me as well and it is the first time I have ever been done with being pregnant and ready for the baby to get here. Last two times I felt like I would be happy pregnant forever. This time ... I'm huge, I hurt and my kids know I can't bend, twist or move faster than a slow stroll. Very ready for this little one to come.

Preach!
I'm done, too, but only 31 weeks. This is a miracle baby for sure (last child was conceived via ivf over 5 years ago) so I am blessed, I know, HOWEVER I'd like to be able to have a day without my hormones going nuts or my body feeling terrible.
Can't wait to hold this baby in my arms & not in my body

My back KILLS which makes sleeping impossible...I'm ready to feel normal again, that's for sure.

USCnurse42

This is baby #3 for me too. I am grateful he is healthy but I am SO done. I want him to be healthy, but I am ready to have my body back. He is stronger than the other two and has kicked the crud out of me.

As an aside, since I see so many of us here on #3, my OB and doula have both commented that baby 3 is normally the one where moms have the roughest time physically with their pregnancies. I've also been told it's a double whammy for moms like myself who had #3 be so close to #2 (like many of you here, I've had fertility issues as well so this pregnancy is also a very welcomed surprise, but a surprise none-the-less).

Hang in there, ladies. Soon enough we'll be posting pictures on the birth announcement thread

I have heard this too from other mom's that #3 was the toughest pregnancy! I feel like i have been sore and huge forever. Dh says i complained with each one lol but #2 was by far my easiest pregnancy but most difficult baby so far. Heres hoping this lo is an angel since he has been causing me so much pain!

I was thinking pregnancy was easy too and I would sail to the end... Well, at 35 weeks today I'm done. I'm scared to death of being in charge of a baby but I'm also tired, sore and just feeling icky! I have GD and my BP is high... I'm ready to be done work and will probably ask my OB to write me off work the next time I see her since my pressures at work have been high.

This is my first, and after a miscarriage right around this time last year I'm thrilled I've been pregnant for so long. But I just want it to be December already. I want to start feeling a little normal again, these dizzy spells are no fun.

Knottie67744546

WHAT DOES NOT BEING PREGNANT FEEL LIKE AGAIN???! Will I ever be me again? FTM so over it.

stephaniearthurs

Last night my hips were killing me!! I love my baby and I've wanted to be a mom my whole life, but I'm ready to have him here in my arms! To sleep the way I want, to have my bladder back!

Figures.
Baby #3 here, too. With the first two, I felt wonderful! This one... she's slowly killing me. I have to keep reminding myself that I'm only 27, so it can't be old age. Since we *may* be done having children, I am trying to be as patient as possible and enjoy each moment. But, seriously: is it Dec 1 yet?

snooker51

my swelling is getting out of control!! my BP is still perfect so it's not too concerning I am just a water retainer.....I'm getting more impatient as the weeks go though I want to meet my little one and since it's my first I'm getting more and more nervous as the days go by!

lalg28

You guys are telling me my third may be significantly worse? What if I just stop at two?? Lol. FTM here.

esscapelle

FTM here, I'm doing OK and don't need this to be done quite yet, but I do 2nd the PP when it comes to feelings of "WTF does it feel like to NOT be pregnant?!" -- I can't wait to feel normal again!!

Not necessarily. My 3rd wasn't rough on me at all; #4 however is a different story!

I seem to be one of the lucky ones who has easy pregnancies overall. That being said, each one was slightly worse than the one before, until this one. I have never been so ready to be done so early in my pregnancy! I hit that point around September with this baby. Ugh...I feel like I've been pregnant forever at this point, and still have close to 2 months to go. (Just to clarify...this pregnancy hasn't really been that bad either...compared to my others, it has been difficult...compared to lots of other women, it's been easy. I'm just over it, and want to meet this LO!)

This. My mom felt the need to point out I've spent the better part of two years either pregnant or recovering from pregnancy. With only five months between I was barely feeling "normal".

All that said, I'm not ready in the least. As much as this pregnancy has been rough and I look forward to meeting this little one, I'm happy to let her keep cooking in there.

rain0831boww

So ready! 35 weeks and I just want to meet her already. After dealing with miscarriages in 2014, I'm so anxious and excited. Plus, I have run out of things to wear, my stomach is sore when I wake up and my sciatic nerve pain won't go away. Please hurry!

mbecca11

I don't even remember what it's like to not be pregnant at this point. I'm more than ready though to not have a basketball under my shirt.

Not gonna lie though, I will miss my arm rest...

Amen to this! I don't remember what it was like not having to pee every 5 minutes. Or sleeping on my stomach.. Ahhh glorious stomach sleep. Haha

Taylovesbrad

I majorly feel this way. Pregnancy has been the most physically and.mentally draining thing I have ever done. I just want to have a good night's sleep but here I am posting at 3 am. Almost 36 weeks.... maybe he.will come early. )
But really I cant.wait to feel normal again or at least semi human.

thatgirlree24

#3 for me as well. Glad I'm not the only one feeling this way! And although it's my 3rd boy every pregnancy has been so different! This by far the hardest (I thought #2 was when I was pregnant with him) 12/15/15 needs to hurry up (

missaero

Seriously done here too. FTM and zero plans for another. This pregnancy just worked to confirm that plan. One and done! Lol.

blansaw

My tailbone hurts so bad that every time I have to sit down I whimper. I have a great office chair and a cushion to sit on, but it just hurts.  SO MUCH PRESSURE!

newmrsW44

I am a water retainer as well! My blood pressure is fine....but man are these cankles annoying!

camilajaleesa

Im 35 weeks as well... Either way we are almost there... Seriously it could be days or weeks but not more than a few..... You will be so happy to see your LO.... Good luck to you.. Safe delivery

mrs14678

I'm so tired of nearly fainting in the mornings and having to eat constantly!!!! My back and hips hurt..... Ugh! I've had such an easy pregnancy so far, it's only now, the last 6 weeks, that I'm starting to feel bad!

NJPita22

This post is the reason I come here! baby #3 for me (3yo, 18month old) that I breastfed for a year and got pregnant the same month I weaned. I feel like I've been pregnant for 4 years and while this isn't the WORST pregnancy I've had it feels like the hardest just because my toddlers especially the younger one are being so rough on me! I have SPD since my pregnancies were so close together, everything hurts and I can barely move. 35 weeks and I'm completely done. To top it off my 3 year old has been acting out and will throw things on the floor that she knows I can't get and my 18 month old is a terror! I told my 3 year old that hopefully this little girl will be like her and not her sister, she told me "you get what you get and you don't get upset" - she sure told me!

ToneGirl

I'm done too!  Said it last night with tears in my eyes to my DH.  "I'm so done with all this!"  I have tremendous ligament pain that is making it extremely hard to walk these days.  I could just cry with the pain but I keep moving with my crazy schedule with 3 kids, full time job and multiple part time jobs.  I'm CONSTANTLY hungry but I have GD so I have to watch every damn thing I put into my mouth not to mention pricking my finger a million times a day.  Candy, pies, cookies and cupcakes have been in my house for weeks from Halloween that I haven't touched a single piece of any of it.  SO HARD!!!!  I'm weak from this diet bc I'm losing weight and not getting the carbs/sugars that my body is craving.  I'm on progesterone injections multiple times a week so I'm constantly getting a needle stuck in my bum with bruises all over.  I'm also high risk so I'm at the doctors office constantly.  Just ready to be done!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   Almost there ladies...we can do this!!!

Ughh 36&1 today and just done. I was diagnosed with gallstones at 32 weeks and have been on a no fat diet. No dairy, sweets, red meat and all I want is ice cream, pizza, and a cheeseburger. I'm tired of brown rice, chicken, and veggies. Also I would like to have some energy. The food I eat is just not enough. I'm down 7 pounds from my original weight yet I'm carrying a 7+ pound baby in the there! The sooner I have this baby the sooner I can get this gallbladder out! Also all the other aches and pains of pregnancy and having less than four weeks left. Thanks for letting me vent and bitch.

navyblueladybug

I'm 36 weeks today and I thought I was done but when I was waiting for the OB to come in after my NST today I realized I would panic if he said anything to me about an early induction. Sooo... Maybe I'm not so ready, haha! I still have 2 showers and lots of stuff to buy and my bag to pack

I had gallstones with my first diagnosed at 20 wks. I totally get you it was miserable! My attacks were so severe even on the diet that i begged the doctors to take it out while i was still pregnant. No go! When i delivered my son at 41wks 3 days i had gained a total of 3lbs the whole pregnancy and he was an 8lb 4oz baby. On the plus side when i went to my 6 wk pp appt i was down 27lbs from my prepregnancy weight after losing through pregnancy, the weight of the baby, placenta and extra blood and fluids.
