Hit the emotional wall...anyone else??

I'm a huge control freak...and this pregnancy thing is really hard on someone like me who is controlling, super impatient and emotional. For the past few days it seems like all I've done is worry, stress and cry.

I wish there was some tool that you could pee on (like a pregnancy test) and it would say "your baby is coming on this date and is healthy"

    That would be wonderful, I wish that was available too, not because I'm a control freak but it would just be nice to know.

    Well, I'm with you on the emotional part. I am a very social person and since leaving work and being seemingly trapped in the house- I have my good days and bad. Lately most have been marginally bad. Crying seems to help me get past the moment...
    I guess my advice would be worrying doesn't help a thing (you know that), your time will be here before you know it, and as far as emotions go- a good movie helps to occupy the mind (and passes time), exercise does wonders, and always always lean on your family/friends.
    If I could figure out how to invent one of those tests you mentioned I'd be a millionaire! Hmm, there's a thought- that will keep you busy for a while! Have at it!

    I am with you!  I hadn't cried the whole pregnancy until last Wednesday.  Now I have been in tears five times since then!

    I'm also a big control freak but...

    you will drive yourself nuts as a parent if you don't try to let go of some of that need for control!  So start now working on letting go ;-)

    Plus, stress is proven to delay labor - your body won't do it's thing if it thinks there's a reason to be afraid (which is the message that stress sends).  So try to relax... and let go a bit.

    I am the same way!  I do not do well with the unknown and this week has been torture!  Luckily, I went to the doctor today and he has scheduled for me to be induced on Wednesday if I don't go into labor on my own by then.  It's like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders!

    Thanks for sharing this. I feel the same way. It's like planning a wedding without a date. Like waiting anxiously for Santa to come but not know when he's showing up.

    I've been getting flamed lately by the snarky posters on the 3rd tri board. I feel like the only thing that is in my control to think about the upcoming events (perhaps over think, but I don't think I've crossed the line into obsession yet). It's the only way I feel in control is to have my questions answered, my to-dos completed, etc.

    Amen sista, I am a planner, and it is killing me not being able to plan things and know when everything is going to happen especially because I am just soooo excited to meet my LO. Oh and the recent PUPPPs outbreak on my tummy is not helping me be patient at all :( I am sooooo ready to not be pregnant any more. I've been bribing myself to go to work with Chai Smoothies, and fast food breakfast, I have to give myself pep-talks several times a day, and I think everyone around me is getting really sick of my complaining...come on little one just come out PLEASE!
