Normally do not post....but I just have to share!!

So I am almost 38 weeks... At my 36 week appointment I found out I was 3cm and fully effaced.  Of course this being my third we were so excited and thought that I would go into labor that week....yeah not so much... 37 week appointment I am still at 3 cm...I can not sleep because the heartburn is unbearable on top of the fact that I can only sleep on my left side.  If I turn on my back or right side I can't breathe.  I am out of maternity clothes and I am so tired of coming to work and people saying "ohh...you are still here..."  I have been so itchy lately and I don't know why I feel like every inch of my body needs to be scratched!  I can't breathe because my nose is so dry and I snore like a big fat man!  I can barely walk, I poop right after I eat something....even a candybar...no joke!!  I pee a billion times a day and it doubles at night!  I am exhausted and so ready to not be pregnant.  I only have a week left since I will be induced on the 10th, but I feel like thats years away. 

 Sorry just had to get it out to someone who would understand how I feel right now.  My hubby kept calling me a grinch last week because I barely took any pictures, I didn't dress up for any of our Christmas get togethers and stayed to myself the whole time. 

ahh....that felt much better.  Excuse the typos and grammatical errors...

Your post has me cracking up laughing. I can relate to sooooo much of it (except this is my first and I'm not dilated or effaced at all so I haven't had the excited "ooh I think I'm going to have this baby soon feeling"). However, the discomfort in all of the areas you mentioned - I'm right there with you. I have c-section on 1/6 so the only thing we can say is that we will be holding LO's in less than 2 weeks and then these symptoms will be long forgotten. Hang in there....almost done!!

I'm sorry you're uncomfortable but it's good that you didn't go into labor at 36 weeks. Trust me, having a preemie (even a 36 wk preemie) isn't ideal.

Hope the time flies for you-hang in there!

This! I am so over all these symptoms. I feel so big and bulky, and im tired of wobbling around and making loud noises while walking on our wooden floors!

LOL ditto on this! Pregnancy is *not* as glamorous as I originally thought. My hubby constantly has bags around his eyes from my log sawing at night.
