Finally hit the wall. Warning: Whiny PG lady inside.

in 3rd Trimester

I am TWELVE days overdue.  My baby isn't here to wear the super cute Halloween outfits I bought him.  I cannot muster the self-esteem to look at my 45 lb weight gain with anything other than disgust anymore.  I want to exercise.  I don't want to field anymore stupid phone calls or facebook messages about how my baby boy is "stubborn".  I want to wear real pants again.  My DH is so sweet but if he asks me one more time if I'm ok I'm going to burst into tears.  I don't want to be induced, but I don't see it going any other way.  I want to roll over in bed without waking up, grunting 5 times and feeling like a 90 year old with a fake hip. 

I'm trying to stay positive but all the joy of anticipating baby's arrival has turned into sorrow, self-pity and disbelief.  I'm sure once I do go into labor all of this will be forgotten but holy SHIZ - the last 24 hours have been the hardest ever.  I think the mental fatigue of thinking "any minute now" for the last FIVE WEEKS has finally gotten to me. 

Thanks for "listening" ladies.

    Wow. I was 2 days overdue and I was LOSING my mind! You must be going crazy. I know the feeling of any day now...it's mentally exhausting. I hope your LO shows up soon. Very soon this will all be a distant memory!

    Oh my gosh! I can't even imagine how you must feel.  I'm no official or anything, but I think you are entitled to be as b!tchy as you want.  Tons of labor dust/labor lube to you!

    I feel you, I'm so sorry.  #2 was 14 days past due date and it's a nightmare.  What finally worked for me was acupuncture.  Maybe call tomorrow?

     Best of luck!

    Wow! 12 days is a lot. I was not terribly mobile today and I'm starting to feel a little stir crazy and lonely. It is making me wish I hadn't quit work even though I would be miserable if I was there.

    Good luck!

    Indeed - I went to the midwife 3 days this week - for an Ultrasound, 2 NSTs and an internal.  We are keeping close watch and induction is scheduled.
