disappointing appt

natalee215

I think I'm going to be pregnant until August.  No further progression.  This part at the end sucks for impatient people like me.  I'm ready to be done work already.  I'm getting pretty miserable and don't feel like dealing with people.  I didn't gain any weight for 3 weeks and now this week I gained 3 pounds.  So much for my weight leveling off.  Please God let this baby come by my due date (at the latest!!!!)

B*tching over (for now.)

You still have 3 weeks until your due date so don't start stressing yourself out already. Your baby will start making it's move when it's ready. You don't want it to come early if its not time. Just enjoy these last weeks of peace and quiet and your baby will be here before you know it.

Don't stress.  Just because you haven't made any further progress doesn't mean that your water couldn't break tomorrow.  I'm like you are and its hard for me to wait at the end.  This is why I opt out of the internals when they give me a choice (and why I never had one with Rowen).  It gets your hopes up to much or completely disappoints you.  Just try to enjoy your last few weeks of being pregnant because LO will be here before you know it. 

And don't stress about your weight.  My body just gains it how it sees fit.  I've ate a million times more healthy than when I was pregnant with Rowen and I've gained the same amount.  I got frustrated after I gained 9 lbs in 3 weeks so I gave up eating as healthy and ate chocolate shakes all week and lost 3 lbs.  There is no rhyme or reason to how it works.

Hang in there!  Baby will start moving when s/he's good and ready.  I hope it's soon for you though.

Natalee, Try not to stress.  Just remember you have made some progress.  As for the weight, I questioned how one can all of a sudden start gaining multiple pounds a week.  The nurse said that some people gain it all at the beginning or at the end.  There is no rhyme or reason.

If you need to vent, I am here.

Lots of hugs and hopefully some patience heading your way (if I have any patience left at this point!).  Your little one will be here before you know it so try and spend these last few weeks relaxing.

This! Stressing out for the next 3+ weeks about your progress is only going to make it more miserable.

ugh... girl, I feel ya...  I am sorry that the last few weeks of pregnancy are so rough - I think almost all of us have been there.  ((((hugs)))) and hang in there!  Try to enjoy this last quiet time you have before LO gets here - life gets so hectic after their arrival (I know you've probably heard that a thousand and one times, but it's so true).

And just for your vaginal enjoyment:

You're not alone! Dani and I are right there with you and odds are that at least two of us will go late but we'll all have our babies eventually! Don't wish away your pregnancy, your womb is still the best place for Baby C, even if it is frustrating sometimes.

My OB loved me and I he...I went in at 39 weeks crying saying I couldn't do it anymore and he roughed me up (hurt like hell but worked) with as much as possible stripping my membranes and scheduled me to be induced the next day.  Even though my water broke that night and I was technically in labor and didn't know it, I did get the lowest possible dose of pitocin (but it was never increased.

I did have some other issues, but crying never hurts...

Hang in there, it's tough these last few wks.
