3rd Trimester

Friend had baby early -- just had a temper tantrum like a toddler!

I am so gutted: I have friend who had her baby today (my due date) and lame as it is I am so jealous. I wish that my baby would come. My last one went overdue. I keep having accidents and falling down, cutting myself, or dropping things on my feet. Yesterday I fell in the garage on the cement floor -- at least this time I didn't hit my head like I did last time (twice). I am behaving like a total *** right now and everything sets me off -- so tired of being pregnant! I can't stand being with myself. I feel really sorry for my husband and daughter because of the hormonal rollercoaster ride everyone has to share with me!!

  • I am doing chores around the house to try to get my mind off of the fact that my baby is due but likely won't come today. Anyone else feeling like a miserable, grumpy and sh*tty person today? LOL.

  • I'm a lurker, but you're right... Misery does love company. I'm not even at my due date, and I've already whined to DH about how much I jus NEED the baby to be here already.

    It's my second to last day at work and I am so, completely, 100%, mentally over it. Is it 5 o'clock yet?

    Surely somewhere it is! ;o)

  • Unfortunately, that doesn't mean I get to leave any earlier :( lol.
  • That would drive me up a wall right now - I have a coworker who's wife will likely go early and could have her baby before me - despite due dates of two weeks apart. 

     

    Last time I had a coworker with the same due date. Her LO was born 3/27, mine wasn't born until 4/6. Even though I KNEW I was really the lucky one (she had some complications and a C-section), those 10 days were torture.

  • It is funny how it works. I know that today is my due date and that I am not technically over yet but am just so overwhelmed right now. Have called a friend to see if she can take my daughter this afternoon because I am so out of hand on the emotions. 

    I don't want to be induced for no reason but then again I don't want to wait endlessly either -- I was 42 weeks last time and in much better shape mentally. This time I am a wreck. I don't want a huge baby and don't want to go through all the trauma of the baby's heartbeat issues I had with DD.

  • my suggestion: lots of sex, castor oil (or whatever they want you to drink), squats, and all of the other (may not work) OWT's!  I plan on doing that a few days before my due date...gotta fill in DH so he's prepared!!  I would do whatever I can so you can actually live with yourself for a little while by concentrating on things that may potentially bring on the nugget....but, they are OWT's, so they prob won't work...just distracting the soon-to-be mama!

    Good suggestions. Am trying to figure out some activities today. A bit scared to drive with all the accidents...it is one thing to fall myself but another to put my daughter or other drivers in harms way.  

    I tried a box of chocolate cookies -- while I never heard that made anyone go into labour it sure made me feel a bit less sh*t! LOL.

  • Try the castor oil! It tastes so incredibly gross though!!!!! Just keep busy as much as possible. I am not near overdue yet, but also know I won't make it to my due date, and am already going crazy sitting at home, but don't wanna go too far either! And these stupid contractions that come and go are driving me nuts! Misery does love company and I will so join you.

  • Oh man, I can totally, TOTALLY see myself being the same way in this situation. Hang in there - take your friend up on her offer to take your DD off your hands for a few hours so you can just do whatever makes you feel better!

  • I'm so sorry. I was in so much pain and so frustrated when I was pg with my first, that I was sitting on my yoga ball (because it was the only way i could get comfortable), and I was literally having a tantrum like a child. My husband was laughing at me because I said, "Maybe if I just bounce up and down on this effing ball hard enough my water will break." After 10 mins of bouncing so hard I'd thought I'd pop the stupid thing, Sure enough, my water broke :).

    I don't know if it was a coincidence or not, but I'd give it a go again if I get to that point!

    That made me laugh. One of my girlfriends just told me that she was an absolute grumpy arse the day before she gave birth. I am hoping that is the case because I have the grumpy and now all I need is the labour! LOL!

  • Sister im with you... a TON of my friends have had their babies before me.. note my ticker.. im about to go insane .

    My patience is @ a min. And i keep on getting how u doing/feeling, is baby here yet. Thankfully i haven't snapped on anyone ... yet!

     

     

  • I feel for you guys.  I'm only 36 weeks today, and I don't know if I could stand going past my due date.  It seems like a lifetime away.  I'm sore everywhere and my pelvis is in so much pain they put me in physical therapy.  When I went in today and the receptionist asked me how I was doing I actually told her "I'm ready to have the option of putting the baby down."  She laughed sympathetically, but I meant it so bad.
