3rd Trimester

I am so effing tired of these contractions.

10+ a day for the past 7 weeks....ok, well the same thing happened with DD & I dealt.  But now it's been 3 weeks straight of 20-40 or even more every single day, coupled with cramps, terrible back & groin pain, pooping 5+ times a day, nausea and total exhaustion.  I feel like I've been in labor for 3 weeks.  Enough is enough already.  This is freaking ridiculous.  She is so low that they could barely see her face on the ultrasound Wednesday.  And those obnoxious women who say "Oh, I just LOVE being pregnant!"....well, they're either liars or I must've really done something to piss God off.

Patience, kindness & decorum left the building about 3 days ago.  I'm so done.  I love being a mommy, but thank goodness I'm not doing this again!

  • Oh, and did I mention that my belly is so big I measured 40 weeks at my 37 week appointment? :-(

  • I'm right there with you. The worst part for me is that I'm in so much pain all the time I can barely move, but my OB flat out refuses to do inductions before 41 weeks unless it is an emergency for the baby. While I realize this is probably sound medical practice, I'm done with pregnancy and have been since it feels like I'm in labor when I'm not.

  • I hear ya! Similar boat. My last appointment I was measuring at 39 1/2 weeks. Nothing fits any more and everything hurts. When I was pregnant with DD it was smooth sailing. I was one of the lucky ones. Paying for it now thats for sure!

  • Sorry you are so miserable but you are not alone!!!!! I have been having that amount of contractions for weeks as well, last week they kinda changed a bit and got crampy and tight not just the tightening but it does get pretty painful...If everyone did 20-50 sit ups a day, you would be sore even when not pregnant..lol  that is just how i look at it, ha ha but it is close!!!

  • Ugh I'm feeling it too. Contractions aren't really *painful* but my whole gut goes rock-hard and it's really tough to do anything when they happen. And they happen every few hours; if I sneeze, or if I get up off the couch, or if I sit down, or roll over in bed..or... you get the idea.  Hips and legs are pretty much always sore, and my groin feels torn. Boooooo... I think our bodies do this on purpose at the end so we look forward to getting our little tenant OUT of there hahaha.

  • I'm not having very many, but I don't like the real intense ones here and there. I just want them to be intense, consistent and then Poof! I've got a baby. Is that so much to ask?

    I also don't like it when LO pushes against me so hard that sometimes it's almost hard at first to distinguish a contraction from a whole baby-body push. Does that happen for others as well?
