I am feeling defeated - Need to vent

This pregnancy has been amazing - It has been plain sailing, without problems and I am so happy I could burst however, I am at the point now where I just want her here with us and for it to be over.

I had my midwife appointment yesterday and LO is engaged which is encouraging (even though I know she can disengage still at this point although she was engaged 2 weeks ago but has moved down further which is certainly a good sign). Everything else is looking great - I just cant deal with the pain I am in with my hips & pelvic area.

It feels as though someone has taken a baseball bat to my entire pelvic area and it is just making me miserable. Add to that the extreme tiredness and I am ready to just snap at anybody and everybody. To top it off I have been having sickness and an upset tummy in the night for the past few nights. I am pretty sure DH is getting fed up with my huffing and puffing constantly but I really dont think he can possibly understand how this feels!

Anyway, just needed to vent to others who know how it all feels

Full term tomorrow - Yay! I am hoping things start progressing more from there

I feel you! I'm so ready for this lo to come! I've been having pelvic pain too and I'm just really sick of it. Today I went walking and had painful contractions and downward pressure and then it went away. I was grateful that the pain went away but at the same time I wish it would have continued into labor. Really not enjoying the waiting game. Praying both of our LO's will be here soon!

You just described my life right now. I keep reminding myself that we're lucky to have a healthy baby who made it to the end. I have to remind myself of it every 2.2 seconds...literally. I'm driving myself crazy with my attitude.
