The next person that says I'm in the home stretch...

... I am going to punch in the face. I am starting to feel awful. I have a lot of pain under my belly, back pain, pain shooting down my right leg, I'm up 3-4 times a night peeing, I can barely put on my shoes, I'm swollen up like a balloon..... I could go on and on. 6 +/- weeks is a LONG TIME to feel so awful.
C'mon people, I know that it's not *a lot* of time in comparison to 40 weeks but it's still well over a month!!

Re: The next person that says I'm in the home stretch...
well, yr swollen, miserable, in pain - at least yr in the home stretch! Ha! kidding.
My c-section is scheduled 2/25/11....we're in about the same boat. Peeing too much, huge, uncomfortable. All I wanted to do was get passed christmas, then I knew I would start feeling like there was a potential end.
I'm gonna punch the next person that says, "5 more weeks? wow, that FLEW by." ugghhh.
I hate being pregnant - only thing fun about it is the occassional kick - otherwise, MISERABLE. ugh.
It's coming girl! For us both! Woo!
Oohh man I get this one too. Sure, it flew by for you because you haven't had to CARRY THIS BABY FOR 34 WEEKS AND COUNTING!!!
I also hate being pregnant, and definitely don't feel ashamed to say as much. I hate when people say "it will only be harder when she is here". Sure, I get that, but there are so many more joyful things to experience once she is here too. All I get now that is positive are her kicks- everything else stinks!
Thanks for commiserating with me.. I feel slightly less grumpy
I'm with all of you. I have never enjoyed the "being pregnant" part that it takes to get my LO. And it seems as I get closer to my date, time goes slower and slower while my discomfort grows exponentially. Anyone getting the stares yet like I'm going to pop at that very moment?
I have to now pee when I enter a store and, even if I am only in there for 10 mins, pee before I leave. The cycle is repeated if I have to go to more than one place. Ugh! I am barely sleeping any more between potty breaks, crazy dreams, overheating (despite my husband's complaints that our bedroom is a meat locker), shifting to accomidate baby, horrible back pain, and now I am being woken up by contractions.
Is it sad I keep hoping I'll go into labor early? I want LO to be healthy, but I'm not sure I am up for another 4 weeks (and sleepless nights) of this.
I agree completely. I really don't like being pregnant. I feel miserable and just want to have my little one in my arms. And these last few weeks are dragging by. I felt like getting to 34 weeks went by pretty quickly, however these last two weeks took forever. And now I have 4 more weeks... And my doctor just informed me that they do not do inductions until due date plue 10 days! I don't know if I can hold out that long.
Well, it's not THAT funny - but I can laugh because you are essentially 'me' right now. I too am sick of peeing. I had half a mind to piss myself in the store today - not much comes out anyway and it would save me the time & aggravation! ha.
I must concur with: 1. hate being pregnant, not afraid to say it. 2. Not afraid to say I hope I go early (not TOO early of course). 3. Have no bones about mouthing off to someone that retorts my misery by saying, "well, as long as she is healthy," or "as soon as you hold her in your arms," or "you will be fine." I KNOW all of these things...I just want to ***. GOSH, annoying. Don't people realize they should just agree with us and then kindly get out of my office? Jeeps. (all in fun, of course)
