When were you "over it?"

halfpintlbk · March 2010

So, I'm sure I definitely need to knock on wood now, but I expected to feel so much worse at this point! Everyone has told me that the last month you just feel like crap and can't wait to get the baby out. I'm having more back pain in the evening, but I'm sleeping fine and feeling good overall. So is anyone else still feeling okay? Do you think this is a sign LO is going to stay put past my EDD?

I felt good up until 38 weeks and then I hit a wall. The last 2 weeks were tough - mentally and physically. My daughter arrived right on her due date so it wasn't bad but it seemed like forever at the time. GDLK to you - I hope you continue to feel well for the remainder of your pregnancy!!!

I think I've only become truly "over it" since this weekend. Sleep is becoming more and more of a challenge and I think that's the main reasoning behing my feelings.

anabell0920 · March 2010

I am still not "over it" and am fine being pregnant still. I think it's all a state of mind honestly unless you are having medical problems then of course I understand having that feeling. I think so many people once they hit 37 weeks expect it to be "any day now" and need to have patience or else you will drive yourself crazy! No I do not think it is a sign of anything other than a good state of mind.

P.S. I am in no way saying I feel wonderful and not feeling aches and pains but me being miserable is not going to help any so I am just enjoying feeling him move around till he decides to meet me.

In that last couple of weeks I have gotten sick of it. Before that I was happy being pregnant for the most part. Now, I have the swelling, feel huge, have pains, etc. I'm over it haha. Might feel differently after LO comes out though.

I was over it at 37 weeks. That's when I went out on maternity leave and when I knew I was full term, so I'm just so ready to have this baby. My back has been bothering me since last week and starting at 37 weeks I've been getting up to pee at night, luckly never had to before that. It's not that I'm horribly uncomfortable, it's just that I'm excited to meet my little girl.

mrstarawalsh · March 2010

I've been over it for a while. I've never liked being pregnant.

lesalia217 · March 2010

I have been wondering the same thing too. I feel great. sure, I notice that the belly gets in the way of doing things and I get out of breath easier, and the peeing thing, but seriously, I thought I would feel sooo much worse.

FutureMrsDavidson · March 2010

I am way over it. I can't wait to have my baby.

sarahwoodworth · March 2010

I still feel fine and I am a few days over now...

yourmomwreckedmybike · March 2010

I'm still feeling awesome. I hate that people make pregnancy out to be the most horrible experience ever. Its a lot about your attitude! If you are expecting your last month to be horrible, it will be. I don't think being comfortable and sleeping well is any indication of when baby is coming, early, on time, or late. Keep up the good attitude! We are almost done!

Princessn678 · March 2010

Today, I hit my wall today. Everything is annoying me, I haven't slept well,I just want to be done.

I agree with this. This last week has been pretty difficult for me, comfort wise. I am feeling very ... stretched to capacity, and my pubic bones are separating (which is causing some pain). However, I have loved being pregnant and am trying to enjoy this time. I know when LO is born, I'm going to experience a whole different kind of emotion and exhaustion.

I also agree with both of these PPs.

That said, I'm so very ready for LO to make an appearance. The EDD was tough for me -- I got kind of emotional and disappointed. Now I'm flip-flopping between being "over it" and being kinda sad that the pregnancy part will be over soon. I just keep thinking that I'll never have this experience again. Even if we have another baby after this, you only have a first baby once. So my next pregnancy will be different. I'm trying to savor this one while it lasts, and not get too impatient.

It's really tough though, isn't it?

eh, some people have easy pregnancies, others don't. I think if I wasn't in massive amounts of pain and on bedrest, I'd feel a lot better about it than I do. Not everyone gets to breeze through. I envy those who can.

Ditto this! I'm in the same boat - lots of pressure on the pubic bone and while I'm uncomfortable - I know what lies ahead is just more emotional and exhausting than I can imagine....so I'm good staying pregnant but I wouldn't mind getting the labor party started sooner than later!

MCC1010 · March 2010

I have had a super easy pregnancy so I am ok for the most part. I have gotten a few sympoms here and there but nothing terrible or even anything that interferes with my daily life for longer than a few days. I am anemic and with the iron pill I feel fine. I get a few days of insomnia but then it goes away. No back ache or lightening crotch. I don't know how i would feel if I had all the symptoms everyone else does.I might be "done" then but right now I am good.

This!

I felt like I was freakin superwoman or something because this pregnancy has been great, no problems, just periods of uncomfortableness...not now! 38 weeks was like a freakin brick wall...I hurt all over...and time is moving sooooo slow!

cajungirl0717 · March 2010

I'm still feeling good. I did post last week about being done. But I did have a nasty sinus cold at the same time. I have a feeling that LO is not making any moves any time soon. I don't have heavy cramping or anything too severe. My back hurts a little and I do get up to pee at night, but I know there are women who are miserable at this point.

I am kinda ready to just be done with the pregnancy for vain reasons... I don't feel sexy. DH says I am, but sometimes I think he says it so I don;t cry. But if LO wants to hang in there a little while longer, I am not complaining. I want her to "marinate" as long as she needs!
