Can I vent??

k&b51907

I just want to vent to people who understand without being flamed.  I have been able to deal with the semi-uncomfortableness this entire pregnancy.  That is until Thursday. It's like someone hit a switch and it has been really, really bad. Two babies are SOOO low in my belly that I have been having constant pressure and it hurts to move in any way. This may be TMI but they are so squished up on my intestines that it hurts to go to the bathroom.  I want my babies to stay in as long as possible and I know I'm going to miss being pregnant but I'm having a really hard time. 

I told my mom that if I heard any women that were pregnant with one baby complain in the dr's office today that I would probably go nuts on them.  Lucky for them they didn't lol!

((hugs)) vent away. I am not looking forward to growing increasingly uncomfortable! Even though I know that each day and week will benefit them, I am definitely a whiner!

I hope that those low babies give you a break soon. This probably isn't the same situation, but I've started wearing a pregnancy support belt and it seems to help with the RLP - lifts my belly up just a bit and eases the pressure.

I know how you feel. Especially after dealing with IF, I had 3 IUI's before it worked, it was very emotionally draining and I am so thankful we got pregnant and so thankful its twins but the pain does get to me at times.

I have a lot of pelvic pain, everytime I get up I am stiff and it hurts to move. Sometimes I get pain down my leg and pain where the top of my leg meets my pelvis.  It's very upsetting not to be able to move around at this early in the pregnancy. Some days are better than others.

I am hoping in time the babies will move up a bit and take some pressure off the pelvis but I don't know if thats realistic.

Good luck - it will go by quicker than you think.

Big hugs.  You are two weeks further along than I am and I recently started to feel so physically taxed that its overwhelming.  Doesn't it make you wonder how Nadia Sulleman (sp) and Kate Gosselin was able to carry so many babies?1?  My bathroom is 6 feet from my bed and I feel like I just ran a marathon if I have to use the bathroom.  It also feels like my stomach is ripping off of my body when I flip sides in bed.  It is very hard.  I hope to get as far along asyou are.  Your doing great for your babies! 

You deserve a lot of credit for keeping the babies in this long and doing such a good job!

i know sometimes it is hard to "allow" yourself to complain but it's okay. I have to remind myself all the time. With the losses we have had i always swore that I would never complain about being pregnant. The morning sickness is kicking my arse but so far I've tried not to whine. I just know that by the time I get to where you are (with one less baby) that I will be a mess! I hope you start to feel better soon!

i'm not laughing, i swear, but it's kind of funny - i was at the EXACT same point you were (the saturday before they were born) and was DONE. i was counting the hours til my doctor came to see me (i was in the hospital) so i could beg him to deliver me.

it is HARD. but it is TEMPORARY. you can do it!!! minute by minute, hour by hour. 

VENT here. i wish i'd done that instead of internalizing it.

Im so sorry you are uncomfy ((((hugs))))  I dont have any suggestions because I am also in so much pain that I try not to cry at my desk all day but I keep remembering that "this too shall pass" and its going to be worth it.  I have to repeat that over and over in my head and somehow, I get through another day.

 

Hang in there, you are doing such a good job!

Sorry you are in so much pain   I am not looking forward to that at all.  Congrats for making it this far...you are doing great!  Hope you get some relief soon.

Please, complain away.  I admire you for what you are going through and can't even imagine how difficult it must be.  You can do it though!!!  Take it one hour at a time.

Thanks ladies. I knew you would understand.  I'm sitting here crying reading your responses. You make me feel better about it.  I think I'm having a hard time right now admitting that I'm uncomfortable when we went through IF and there are still the girls on that board that are still struggling to get pregnant. I feel like I don't have the right to complain.

Okay, DH will be home soon so I need to stop crying otherwise I think, at this point, he would turn around and walk back out the door .  Thank goodness for our men that deal with us!

((HUGS)) I am sorry you are in so much pain:( I can't imagine. I've been struggling for a week or so now with hip pain and it is probably no where near where you are.

Complain away, we understand. I, too, went through IF and feel so bad about complaining, but without venting it would just bottle up and explode all of DH:)

32 weeks was hard for me too. Even though it kept getting harder each week from 25 to 34 for me I stayed pretty much the same from 34 to 39. Those last 6 days were pure hell though, Hang in there

I totally understand where you're coming from. I was the EXACT same way the week before I delivered. I was in so much pain I could barely walk, and getting up from laying down was next to impossible. And we know how much you love your babies but you have every right to complain. Being pregnant with triplets is now walk in the park, it's hard. And as uncomfortable as you you are right now, just think of the end result and hoe much you're going to love those little babies. That was all that got me through it. And to be honest with you, now that they're born, all of that hell during pregnancy is a distant memory. Hang in there,  you're doing awesome, and whenever you need to vent we're here for you!

<hugs>  I am sorry to hear that you are in so much pain. Mine isn't that bad but I know all about the low baby. I have one that has taken up residence across the cervix, and when she kicks, moves, or anything it takes my breath away. I know how you feel though about being irritated with how you feel but not wanting people to think you want to have the babies sooner, because you don't. You just want to feel better and have healthy take home babies.

I don't know if this is an option for you, but my Peri suggested going to an indoor pool. We found one near by and I usually go 1-2 times a week. It gets the babies more active but it also floats them off those pressure points. I had to say it is heavenly to go in the water and not feel all the pelvic pressure I feel otherwise. Maybe it would help with your pain.

Good luck and I hope you feel better soon.
