I can tell time is getting closer. I am beyond uncomfortable no matter what I do, like im ready to throw in the towel! Im pretty sure I wont be going a full 40 weeks because of health issues but jeez im ready to tell my doctor get her out now! He said he going to try and let me go longer so perhaps 37 or 38 weeks is when he will do something and I know its close but seems so far away. Ive never in my life had so much pelvic, hip, and lower back pain everrrr!!!! I could barely walk today and on top of that I have edema in both legs :-/

I wish I could be one of those women who are like "I just love being pregnant"  but im not the road has been rough. Dont get me wrong Im sooo grateful to be able to carry a child especially with my past health issues but good greif this just has been no fun at all and im over it! Please tell me im not the only one.

I feel pretty much the same - my pains are different, but I can tell you that my first pregnancy was MUCH easier on me...every pregnancy truly is completely and totally different!  My mid back hurts all day, every day, to the point that it feels like it's BURNING.  Just a searing, constant, awful, distracting pain.  A lot of times, although not quite always, I have a pain with every step of my left foot.  I am beyond exhausted because on top of waking to pee, waking to move in bed, etc., I have developed restless leg syndrome this pregnancy.  I have all of the stress and worry of developing HELLP Syndrome again this time around, as I have already been diagnosed with gestational thrombocytopenia, which is exactly how my HELLP began with my first pregnancy.  The edema in both legs was unexpected for me...call me naive, but I thought that since it wasn't hot or humid this time (had my daughter in the summer of '05 when there was a heatwave in our region), but it's ridiculous.  The third trimester morning sickness is just adding insult to injury for me - with being this exhausted and in this much pain I shouldn't have to throw up every day, should I?  **sigh**  Two weeks and six days until I deliver.  I think I can, I think I can, I think I can...

No u r definitely not alone! I keep obsessing over every little sign that I might be going into labor! But I try to remind myself that the goal is a healthy baby. Plus I'm a little afraid of labor so am not excited about going through that again! This time I'm going med free too so I'm even more nervous. Oh well. Hope we both go soon!

I'm right there with you.  I was hoping to go after Christmas so LO could have a better birthday date.  But right now I don't care!  I'm 38w4d and saw the MD yesterday.  I'm only 1 cm dilated!  My little man is very comfortable and wants to stay.  I'm ready to get him out!

 I'm sorry... that totally sucks.  Is there nothing they can give you for pain managment?  have you tried hot or cold on your hips?  what about going for a swim?

We are almost there! 

My doctor pretty much said there wasnt much that could be done. I was told to do modified bedrest so not sure if swimming is ok but it would be nice.
