Feeling sooo over it!

bethmcburney

I know pregnancy is 40 weeks, and I don't want this baby to come until she is ready to, but I'm totally having a pitty party for myself.  I feel so over being pregnant....  I just want my body back, and for the sleep that I do get to be good sleep, and on my back or stomach....  Okay vent over.  Anyone else feel this way?

Yup. Plus I can't wait to meet this LO.

I'm def ready to be a single occupancy human again.

I feel you girl!  I hate saying and thinking that way because I know we have been given such a great gift and I should be thankful I get to be pregnant and carry this baby but some days I am soo eager to have my body back and am ready to meet her. 

 Of course we don't want her coming before she is ready but I wouldn't mind having only 6 or 7 weeks instead of 8! 

Not to mention I think the few stretch marks I have are getting more red each week!!  EEK!

Me too! I actually enjoy being pregnant (for the most part), but I'm so ready to go on maternity leave and thinking that I have about 7ish weeks left makes me want to cry.

Yes, I just spent the last couple of weeks on hospital/home bedrest.  I just got released from the hospital last Friday night, and I got released back to work today.  At this point, they would send me to the pysch ward if I asked to evacuate this child. 

It is a waiting game.

Yup!  I'm ready to be able to eat more than a crumb without feeling over full! lol

I'm right there with you.

A little bit. Things have been very hectic for us lately, which is kind of nice because it doesn't leave much time for thinking about how pregnancy feels... But there are definitely things that I wouldn't mind having right now - sleeping on my stomach, being able to sit up and bend over without a big hassle, seeing if my old clothes will ever fit again...

Agree, agree, agree.  This is about the time last year that I became unemployed, so I started training for endurance races as if it were my job.  3 hours a day of running, swimming and Crossfit.  It was heaven.  Well, the weather is gorgeous again and my body is saying 'why aren't we OUT THERE??'.  There is a physical longing for movement and activity and a body shape that just isn't there.  I'm so very, very grateful for the baby, but it's def time to move on to the next stage.  

Today I took the mindset of 'baby will grow for the next two months, but I'm done being pregnant'.  I got SO much done!  It was like being 'normal' again!  No more obsessing over articles, no more thinking about lists or what to buy or how to decorate the nursery.  I'm done with all of that.  Until Baby comes, there is nothing more I can do, so besides the fatigue, heartburn, constant poking, inability to breath and giant bump on my stomach, I'm not pregnant anymore.    Maybe I'll get more work done tomorrow.  My boss would like that.

This just started happening to me too. I think it's why I've been having so much heartburn. No fun at all.

I felt this way with my previous pregnancy and promised myself I would enjoy this pregnancy more and not wish it over, but I'm doing it again! And looking at all the replies you are definitely not alone! Good luck!

I hear ya! Once I hit 37 weeks I am going to try everything to get her out. I know taking care of a newborn is crazy and hectic but I am so ready to be able to eat a full meal and to tie my shoes and pick up my son without being in pain, be able to sleep comfortable at night without heartburn, have sex without nearly throwing up on my husband. And now that I know what to expect the fear of the unknown is no longer there.

My first pregnancy was so easy and I never got to the point of wishing him out, he came early anyways. This baby is constantly putting her foot in my ribs, hitting my cervix, putting all of her weight on my bladder and I can barely eat. Yeah, I'm totally done too.  

angelrue522

Yes. I am massive and hoping this 9 weeks will fly by. They joys of pregnancy are now mascaraded by stretch marks, heartburn, swollen body parts, triple chins and cellulite.  This is my last pregnancy and I have been trying to enjoy it but its SOOOOOOO hard at this point.

sam19

I agree. I seriously hate being pregnant. I don't want to go early but I do wish 39 weeks would hurry up and get here.

AshleyR711

Like you said OP, I just want my body back. I don't want her here until she's done and ready but some days I feel like I may go crazy... I'm trying to keep myself busy as she finishes growing so I can try and keep my mind off things. It's just really hard. 9 weeks?! So jealous of those with 6 or 7 weeks to go.. *sigh*

I am so with all of you ladies. I'm so thankful that I became pregnant easily and have been able to carry this baby. And I am so lucky that I have had one of the easiest pregnancies out there, but I am not a huge fan of being pregnant. I want this baby to be healthy and not pre-term, but I am so ready to be done. I have no idea how he's going to double in weight in the 8 weeks and still have room in there. No idea at all.

Horsey322

Yes!!!!  Im in such pain w/ sciatic nerve I wish I could go in for morphine drip! 

WordSmith85

Ditto.  It was bad last month, but now that I found out I have GD, it's gotten so much harder. I want her out so I can stop worrying about every bite I eat hurting her. Even though the doctor says it's okay, I contemplate eating half a cookie and feel guilty. I have to be good for her sake, but it would be so much easier if it was just my health I was in danger of wrecking.

Plus, I want diet soda, wine, beer, rare meat, lunchmeat, etc. And for my pelvis to stop throbbing.

I am so over this pregnancy as well. thankfull for the baby growing in me but I am ready for her to come out
