I feel like I'm falling apart, can't make it 2 more weeks!

I am so tired and in so much pain. It feels like there is a blade jammed in my lower back, my knee hurts every time I take a step so I gimp like Quasimodo, my wrists have such bad carpal tunnel it brings tears to my eyes, and this is just the start. I know most of you are probably dealing with the same aches and pains as me, but I just don't know if I can make it 2 more weeks! Ever day is worse than the day before, and at this rate I will be hysterical crying with agony in 2 days. I'm to the point of begging my doctors on hands and knees to be induced at my appointment on Wednesday.

Please tell me I'm not alone, and that it will be over soon!

  • I'm uncomfortable most of the time now too, and although my contractions have eased up, now I feel like I'm full of butterflies, which doesn't hurt but isn't exactly the most comfortable feeling ever!

    Pregnancy has got to be one of the most interesting experiences ever...

  • I'm sorry.  :(  While my physical symptoms don't sound quite as bad as yours, my freaking JOB nearly brought me to tears today.  Baby needs to come to rescue me from THAT!  I don't know how I will stand another week, much less 2 if he is late.  I don't know I will make myself go to work on Monday.  I'm definitely calling in sick 1 day, just not sure which one.

     
  • I hear you. I never made it past 38wks and some change with my DS, so this is unfamiliar territory. It is AGONIZING. My due date is next week, and I am in tears thinking I'll still be pregnant by then. Even without the contractions, I'm in a lot of physical pain and want this over with. I am really considering calling my midwife next Monday and begging her for an induction. She knows I'm seriously hurting, so she might actually give it to me.

  • I was actually talking to my mom about this! I have had a very uncomfortable pregnancy since about 16 weeks. It feels like everyday I wake up and feel worse and worse. I am hoping that I get lucky and this LO comes within the week otherwise or I to will be begging and crying to my OB next Friday! I can hardly walk anymore my pelvis hurts so bad...it doesn't matter what position I try to be comfortable in, there is no such thing! I have now entered the zone were baby is big enough to press on this nerve we apparently have in our stomach or uterus? I feel like I am being burned with a ciggy in my stomach all day long,. By the end of the day I am in tears half the time because I can't move my trunk at all!  All thanks to his little butt pressing on it!

    I agree, it is AGONIZING!

    Happy mommy to a sweet baby boy! CafeMom Tickers
  • You are sooooooooooooooo not alone!!!!!!  I feel so very blessed to have this baby, but I really want this pregnancy part to end!  I want to start the next phase of my life, not pregnant, holding my baby girl, and feeling like my old self again!

  • I hear you girl, and the thought of working for the next two weeks feels like somebody is telling me I have to run a marathon everyday. Oh well, off I go to work (I work Tues-Sat)...sigh...

  • I hear you as well.  I am not super uncomfortable because of the pregnancy... honestly, sadly, I was feeling great, sleeping well, not too much back pain but some, swollen but not to the hurting point if I wore my compression stockings, but then about 2 weeks ago I got sick again.  Now that is making me just miserable.  After being sick for over 10 days with no relief, I finally asked the doctor if I could have an antibiotic (I normally am anti-antibiotic, but I REALLY don't want to be sick still when I go into labor and am willing to do just about anything at this point to feel back to normal before LO makes his entrance).  I started taking the antibiotic on Wednesday, and feel like my sinuses opened up the flood gates and now all I can do is blow my nose, cough, and not sleep.  Working was hellacious the past few days.  I am off until next Wednesday, and am REALLY hoping that after being on the antibiotic for a week that I will finally start to feel better?  But I am with you in that I am just miserable right now and so want to kick this illness prior to having the baby, I can't imagine delivering like this, especially since I want to try to go med-free...

  • You are definitely not alone! By the end of most days I just want to curl up in a ball....but I can't!
  • I am certainly uncomfortable, but nothing like you, and I feel like I can't make it. This waiting is torture. I dream about LO every single night and I just want to meet him!
