There is no real reason for the post other than to whine so you dont have to read it if you dont want to!! I am so ready to have this baby and not be pregnant. I am hot, my feet stay swollen 24 hours a day, I am tired of eating on the gestional diabetes diet and checking my sugar, I am sleepy all the time even right after I wake up in the morning. I know 3 1/2 weeks isnt that long but right now it feels like an eternity. Also I am so tired of working, I have no motivation to do anything and I think I sound ill to everyone I talk to. I am so tired of people asking how far along are you, wow you are big, are you sure you will make it that much longer......and then giving their advice on how to stop swelling. Also I know my mom and sister just want to feel him move but I just want to knock their hand off my stomach every time they touch me. DH is really the only one I dont mind touching me but I cant tell people that, especially family because they will think it is rude.
I was hoping to get good news at my appointment yesterday but all he said was I was still closed up tight, baby is head down, and we might think about induction at 40 weeks if my cervix has started thinning (because of the GD and the baby getting big). He even had to do an u/s to see if the baby is head down because he couldnt feel his head, which means he hasnt dropped. I know things could change in an instant but right now they dont feel like they ever will
.
If you got through all of this thanks!! I would love any words of encouragement!!
Re: Can I whine?
I have no words of encouragement, but I am right there with you, especially on the 0 motivation to work.
The best positive I have been able to come up with about the repeat C/S is that I know it will be over in 19 days or earlier, which is especially comforting after going 6 days late with DD.
