so tired of being pregnant...

This is the longest I've ever been pregnant and it's driving me nuts. My doc's office said from the beginning not to expect to make it very far past 38 weeks. I had ds#1 at 37 weeks 5 days because I had no more room and finally started leaking. My belly is so tight this time, I know there can't be room left. I am so uncomfortable and just all around sick of being pregnant/miserable/having no idea if he is ever gonna come on his own. At about 36 weeks I had 14 hours of false labor so that added to making me impatient. It is really starting to drive me nuts that people are constantly saying things like "When are you gonna have that baby?" and "You're still pregnant!" I don't even dread the pain of labor anymore. I just want to get it over with and get to recovering. I feel like if I'm pregnant past this weekend I'm gonna lose my sanity. Last time around when my water started leaking my doc sent me over to be induced. To add to my irritation this time, My doc has been on vacation since the 26th and was supposed to be back at delivering this weekend. Now she's not only staying on vacation for the weekend but the first few days of next week as well. She has no back up and her p.a. doesn't make decisions on her own so if by some miracle I do go into labor I just get whoever is on call. It irritates me that I picked a doc I trusted and I've only seen her 3 times this pregnancy and now she most likely won't even deliver. Ok I guess I'm done ranting. I'm just so mad at my body and want this baby out. I'm too small of a person to be pregnant any longer.

Yup. I'm due basically right now and baby is showing no signs of wanting to get out. I'll probably end up going to 41 weeks and being induced.

But, like the previous poster said, it won't be that much longer now. Hang in there!

My sympathies to you. I have about 9 more days to go before I hit my due date but I'm also very impatient for our son to get here. My next prenatal appointment is on next Wednesday and I'm going to request that my doctor induce me next week if DS doesn't make his appearance. Because I'm gestational diabetic, my doc probably would grant my request. Good luck to us both! :-)
