UGH! What is wrong with me?? (pointless I'm-done-being-PG vent)
I feel awful. I think I am ready to be done being pregnant. My hip is back to hurting again after feeling 90%better for about 2 days, I've had mild and annoying headaches every day for the last 5 days, I'm tired and lethargic, and I've been pretty nauseous since about 2am. On top of everything, I just want to cry for no apparent reason!! This sucks. Can someone just put me to sleep for the next 25ish days??
This post serves no other purpose other than allowing me to just b!tch. Thanks for letting me vent.

Totally normal! You're almost done, just hold on a little longer!
I'm right there with ya CJ!!!!!!
Today has been particularly wearing on my emotions and my body....and it was just a spontaneous thing! I was perfectly fine yesterday, this morning....not so much. ;(
I already sent off the warning email to the hub letting him know I'm a mine field today and to be extra sensitive when he gets home.
Definitely feeling like this on plenty of days! Sometimes I just have to cry, I feel so crappy. When my back was bothering me it was the worst. My stomach is totally seized up in a painful contraction right now and I am so done with being at work for today, too bad I have 3 more hours. I know I'll be delivering in no less than 13 days and its stretching out like an eternity.

Oh, honey! YES! This is normal (or we're all 3 completely abnormal - including C<3 in this
) I'm lying in the floor and an absolute mess right now. I KNOW in my head that I need to keep the twins in as long as possible, but I just want them OUT of my body! We have a maximum of 25 days left before our scheduled c-section, but I have to say that I was secretly hoping that those timeable contractions last night would lead to full-blown labor. I hurt everywhere, and the thought of sitting, standing or walking makes me flinch, because I know that makes it all worse! Hang in there! We CAN do this!.....right?
Collie, as silly as this may sound, it might help to try to tell yourself that your due date is actually a week or two further away than it really is. Telling yourself, "I've only got X days until the baby is due" may end up leading to disappointment and frustration if your little one doesn't come on her due date.
With my pregnancy with Meredith, each week from about 28 weeks onward, we thought might be "the" week she would be born because of complications, and even though we were happy to not have a premature birth, it really wore on me emotionally to hear over and over again that no, you aren't haven't your baby today or this week or whatever. This time around, we don't have any complications, so I've added two weeks to that. If I go into labor any time between my 40 and 42 weeks, I'll be fine with that. It'll be a pleasant surprise. Now, if I go over 42, I likely won't be a good sport...

Totally normal. All I felt like doing in the end was laying in bed. I was miserable, and it wasn't 500 degrees outside. Hang in there!
I know you are right! I keep telling myself that it's too early to feel this way and that it's entirely possible that Aug. 31 Sept 1, hell even Sept 5 will come and go and I'll still be pg! Logically I know that's probably the case so I'm really trying not to get too caught up in the get-this-baby-outta-me feeling just yet.
