3rd Trimester
What are you sick of? (Flame free!)
First I am sick of this stupid iPod I use at night not letting me put spaces between paragraphs in my posts. So I apologize ahead of time for that. I always let DH use my laptop at night so I am stuck with the iPod Touch.
Second... I am sick of pain. Pain from this stupid blood clot in my leg especially but also lower back pain that could actually be related to the clot. It friggen hurts.
Third... I am sick of people complaining over the smallest things. Not really here, just in general. Though I admit I am jealous of those with easy pregnancies too.
Last (for now)... I am sick of being stuck at home but not being able to do much. I am dying to clean and scrub floors and walls and ceilings and I can't. It drives me nuts because DH sucks at cleaning!

Re: What are you sick of? (Flame free!)
I feel ya, my family lives in IL and I live in CA. DH works 12 hour shifts too and weekends. It sucks
Having to be so fricking careful about my diet. I've only been doing it two weeks, and already, 8 weeks seems like a LONG time to go.
Back and rib pain- it feels like there is a hook going from my right rib to my back that is just constantly pulling, and it doesn't go away, ever!
Heartburn- but that's my own fault b/c even though my dr told me to take pepcid 2x per day, I prefer to tough it out most of the time b/c I worry about taking unnecessary meds while pg.
My job. This kid needs to come out just so mommy can get a break from work. lol
I'm sick of work. I thought that working for a bunch of women was drama-filled, but this group of men is just as bad, if not worse.
I'm sick of World of Warcraft...or rather DH's obsession with it. He seriously plays nearly every moment when he's home.
Lastly, I'm sick of not sleeping well. I don't think the other things would bother me as much if I could get even one good night's sleep.
Thank you I am glad someone can relate!!
It doesn't help that I am a big coward and cannot get to bed until 3am because every little noise might be someone breaking in!
I am sick of:
1. Dragging my left leg around because it hurts so much, and
2. My coworkers telling me at least five times a day how huge I am. I KNOW already, right? Stop reminding me.
I'm sick of my stupid sense of smell ruining everything for me! I was at a wedding tonight and I was super rude to a friend of mine because her breath stank like an ashtray and I wanted to vomit all over her.
And why the heck am I so claustrophobic of people touching me or standing too close to me? I'm not talking about strangers touching my belly, but people leaning into me to talk or like cigarette breath girl pressing her freaking legs into my thighs while she breathed all over me. Ugh, just get off me! Talk to me when this child is out of me!
I am sick of people eating yummy sweets in front of me. I am also sick of feeling nauseous every time lo moves.
Additionally, I am sick of being broke. Our financial situation is not the best, since I was unable to find a job (at 6 months pregnant) when we moved here. And believe me, I have tried.
I'm sick of GD! I want a piece of pecan pie or 2 with a jumbo plate of mashed potatos and gravy with stuffing.
Not sleeping good at night. I wake up so much to pee and because I'm just not getting comfertable. Hopefully while he is up moving so much at night he is considering turning down for mom and get out of this breech position.
I'm sick of people making Just you wait comments to every baby related comment I put on FB
I'm sick of my cousins accusing me of being pissy and not being able to take a joke when they say something assinine to me...hell I am almost 38 weeks pregnant...give me a freaking break! They've been there before you'd think they'd know!
I'm sick of feeling like someone took a sledgehammer to my pelvic area.
Heartburn, being so tired that they need a new word for it, not ever EVER sleeping, worrying about my baby being born healthy, worrying about chores, and hip pain.
Oh- and people asking me questions about my pregnancy. I am so tired of it. I just want to sleep until he comes. I've turned into a mean b!tch.
I HATE THIS!! Yes, I do realize I will be exhausted caring for a new baby. I'm not stupid or naive. But guess what? When I'm able to lie down and sleep for an hour or 2, I won't get up twice to pee, I can sleep on my stomach, and I can actually get comfortable!
Here is my list:
Heartburn
back aches
Knee swelling
Hip pain
my children who are on my last nerve
General population I could probably murder. I seriously get homical thoughts with every pregnancy towards the end. I am usually the most patient person. Yesterday while at my 9 yo's football game there was a parent from our team who I wanted to smack! He is irritating and makes his kid feel like *** at practice and the games. I wanna yell " Listen fatso, your kid is in 4th grade. This is NOT the pros. Who cares if he runs like a girl. He is 5 ft 3 and uncoordinated. LEAVE HIM ALONE!" Then kill him after that lol
#1 is NOT sleeping. I just can't anymore. I cried last night out of frustration.
When I tell people how tired I am they say - wait until LO gets here. Umm, like PP stated above..when LO is here I may get two hrs of sleep without having to get up to pee and then take another 30 minutes to get back into bed and in the right position.
#2 the acid reflux. I hate it. Have it 24/7 and am miserable.
# 3 making NO progress. LO is still super high, I am 0 cm and 50% effaced. I know this shouldn't matter...but it is a little discouraging.
On top of this my mom passed away last month - I miss her SO much. I am feeling like I have to be really strong because LO is coming and find myself breaking down. People keep saying - just wait until LO gets here...you will feel better! WTF?! I am excited to meet LO...but my mom passed suddenly and I was not prepared for it..give me time to grieve people.
Other than the standard list of pregnancy-related complaints, I'm BEYOND sick of people asking me what his name's going to be. We don't know, okay?!?!
I have no idea why the question irritates me so much. I've never been annoyed by questions like "were you trying?" or anything like that, but for some reason, "what's his name?" sends my blood pressure rising and makes me want to cry all at the same time. Completely irrational, I know, but I can't help it.
I'm sick of being so darn tired all the time. I feel like all I do is work, eat, sleep... work, eat, sleep... I'm too tired to do the things I WANT to do like even just go out to a movie. I haven't even seen my best friends in weeks because I'm to tired after doing what I need to do (work, shower, laundry, etc.) to do anything fun. I'm sick of being boring.
You sound like me. Probably the most common phrase to come out of my mouth these days when i leave the house is: "I hate people." I get so darn annoyed with everyone's b.s.
Here is my list...
#1. Not sleeping! I can't get comfortable, and I am so tired when I go to sleep and wake up tired in the morning, it makes the day so hard. Plus, I'd sure like to get as much sleep as I can now, because I know what is coming!
#2. Heartburn! I am taking Zantac, but even the Zantac isn't helping much these days. Of course, I know that the heartburn will instantly be gone for me once I deliver, but in the mean time - it sucks!
#3. Being so tired that I don't feel like doing much of anything. I think this kinda goes along with #1. There are so many things I'd like to do before Tuesday when I get induced, but here I sit, on my butt, not wanting to move a muscle!
#4. Pain! I have been having false labor for 2 weeks now, and I am tired of contractions that aren't doing anything. I guess I wouldn't mind if there was some progress made by these contractions, but I am only 1cm dilated and 50%. I'd like to be a little more progressed before they induce. Come on body. Help me out here!
Baby #2: 12 cycles, 1 failed FET, natural miracle but m/c at 9 weeks then another natural miracle that stuck! 9-30-09
TTC #3 - 4 cycles - no BFP yet!
I'm sick of:
1. Heartburn... I swear half the time I'm going vomit.
2. DH complaining about his super long days. Welcome to my world buddy! Too bad that it took him over 4 years to experience how I live. Now he needs to quit b!tching! I isn't my fault he put off school for 4 years so he could be lazy and it has finally caught up with him.
3. Feeling guilty everytime I want to buy anything. We're in the process of closing on a house and everytime I want something I think nope can't have it cause I'll have a house payment and a baby to pay for. DH on the other hand doesn't really stop himself, he just expects me to have enough money set aside to bail him out.
4. My younger SIL trying to keep up with DH and I. Within 2 weeks of announcing we were pregnant, DH's little sis had a "scare." Really it was just her not knowing how to use a pregnancy test and the new birth control she was on. Now she is trying to buy a house and bombards DH and I with stupid questions. She has no credit, no money, barely works her part-time job and her boyfriend, who might be going to jail in a few weeks, doesn't even want to get a house yet. I really want to tell her to slow down and enjoy being 20 with no resposibilities!
5. My jerk of a little brother not getting a job and depending on me and my parents to bail him out.
Oh, the list!!!!
Right now I am sick of my children not taking good naps, so that I can have a few minutes of alone time.
I am sick of my husband not understanding how great it is to have some alone time. And complaining about being tired. I know I have never been on 3rd shift and hav no idea how it messes with your body, but I do know how it feels to get up with a baby several times a night. And even though I am not getting up to feed a baby now, my 3 year old and 1 year old still wake me up at times and I am up at least every 2 hours to pee.
I am sick up wearing support hose because of these ugly varicose veins. I never had them before pregnancy and hate them now. They are ugly and very painful, and people either comment on my hose or my veins all the time - thanks!!!
I am really sick of comments about how big I am. Mostly they come from ladies who have had kids. Shouldn't they know better??? What makes me even more mad is that most of these people are still bigger than me when they aren't pregnant and I am. So why would they think that is ok to say. My husband says I should just say, "and you are ugly." Which at least made me laugh. But really, I have gained a normal amount of weight and although I feel huge, do not love other people telling me that.
And lastly (although, I am sure there is plenty more), I am sick of my doctor not scheduling my induction date. It really wouldn't be a big deal, but 4 weeks ago, he said he was going to schedule it, but decided to wait until my next appt. Then at my last appt, he decided to wait until the next one. I really don't care, but quit telling me you are going to schedule it and then not. (I am only being induced because my last child was almost 10 lbs and we were only at the hospital for 20 minutes before he was born. So for fear of having the child in the car, the doctor recommended an induction).
