38 weeks and over it!!!

hecata · June 2011

Hi all,

This is just a vent really. I am sooo over being pregnant!! I feel bad for saying this because I know some women are not able to carry to term. I was ok until 36 weeks and 1 day. I was told how pleasant I was and how calm I seemed. I felt that way too, but all of a sudden it hit me...I"M STILL PREGNANT?? My carpal tunnel came back with a vengence, my baby is so low now I have hemorroids, and I am SUPER sick of going to work and hearing all the stupid a$$ comments! When people ask "why are you still here?" I say "well if you pay me to sit at home I will gladly leave." I went to the dr last week and nothing has changed....NOTHING. Is there a such thing as the baby not coming out? I'm on the verge of asking to be induced. I didn't want to in the beginning for fear of c-section, but at this point I'm willing to risk it!

I am prepared as much as I can be. The nursery is ready, I have had 3 baby showers, etc, etc. What else can I do?? Please help....

I'm right there with you. I've felt great this whole time up until about a week ago. I have terrible carpal tunnel as well, and just all over joint pain. I can't find a comfortable position no matter if I'm sitting, standing, laying down, and I've tried some of my yoga positions. Nothing is helping. I keep having mild contractions or braxton hicks--b/c at this point I have NO idea anymore and am questioning every twinge and tweek in my body--and it's like "just keep going! don't stop! more contractions please!!" but they eventually stop. It's so frustrating. I'm just so ready to meet him or her (we're team green) that I can't stand it anymore!

Like you...everything is ready, so now what? So now I'm doing other things. Making meals to freeze...random errands that need to get done...lots of walking and squats...and catching up on DVR. *sigh*

Make meals to freeze! You will be thankful....check out Once a Month Mom....someone on here recommended it a few weeks ago and it is amazing.

Aww, this sounds like me, but fortunately, ur a little further than I, so you have the right to complain more. I just want to be done with work and the nine. These next 3 weeks won't come fast enough! uggggghhh

I totally feel your pain. At the risk of sounding like a crazy lady, I've actually yelled at my belly, "WIll you just get out of me already?!" DH thought it was humerous, but I'm sick of this.

In the past week 4 people have actually said "You're STILL pregnant?!" I've been tempted to respond with "No, I actually gave birth the the world's first invisible baby!" Instead I smile and bury my b!tchiness deep down in this huge belly I'm STILL carrying around.

Yes I hear you with the twinges! I get so excited if I feel something "new." Then its a let down because it stops. People say your body is "preparing." I guess...I just want to know when the preparing pays off... We just have to hang in there. These babies are so comfortable they don't want to leave I guess. Little does he know...I'm charging rent past 40 weeks! ))

I pretty much had the same due date as you last year so I know how you feel. At this point, start walking every day (even if it kills you), having sex, and enjoying the last few days of getting to eat anything you want! I also made meals and froze them. I started cleaning random things, and getting every little teeny tiny detail done so that I would be ready. When you have a newborn no detail is too tiny (like removing the little tin foil tip on the diaper cream tube is almost impossible when you haven't slept in a week!). Good luck momma. You are almost there.

Chuckling at "removing the little tin foil tip from diaper cream." That's funny And thank you...almost there.

NO you don't sound crazy at all!!! Everytime he moves I'm like, "You are doing all that dancing...why don't you dance your way out of here!!" or "You can't stay in here forever son."

Literally LOL'd at the invisible baby. I'm thinking of saying, "oh yeah I gave birth yesterday and I made it back today!" Dumb ass

dupe, thanks bump! Grrr

I totally hear you! I can handle the belly (and the aches, peeing every hour, etc), but the belly and toddler are TOTES pissing me off right now! I could be outside weeding/landscaping, and of course you have to be on the toddler AND belly schedule. GR. I'm also over the sore back and insomnia.

Hopefully this one won't overstay her welcome...I had to be induced with my first at 41 weeks 5 days..o_O

I am only 28wks and i feel that way!!:) I am not one of those ladies who loves being pregnant. Dont get me wrong feel very blessed and love my kids but i am done! So this helped with my first..hope it helps with you!! Spicy food!! and have someone rub your ankles especially around your achilles tendon..there is some sort of a pressre point there. I did both and went into laber the next day..Some say its just an old wives tale..but i was willing to try anything:) Good Luck

I feel the same! Iam actually still in Nursing school..had clinicals this am, and was being asked by many why I am still in school..it's because If I dont finish this semester, it will be another yr and half till I graduate, so I am sticking it out. My Dr. actually agreed to induce me on Thursday, I am also showing NO prgress, no dilation at all, so he said he will probably have to induce me anyways. There is no way I want to go past my due date. Well good luck to you!

I have 5 days to go and I just want to cry. i was expecting him this past Sunday 6/19. But nothing. I have a bloody show going on and off for 3 days now, some cramping every now and then, then nothing!!! I'm so over it. I just went for a mile walk. i've been going every day since friday. what else can i do?

seaturtle19 · June 2011

i was almost 2 wks past my due date last time around in the middle of August so i totally understand and hate to say there is nothing that you can do. i tried walking, sex, spicy food, raspberry tea, etc. i am only 32 wks now and having a rough pregnancy and so ready to be done so at least you guys are a lot closer. hang in there-nothing else i can say to make you feel better. i hated every morning going to work when someone would make the comment, "you're still here!" UGH

In fact, I was over it at 8 weeks since I had done this 2 times before I knew what was ahead of me!!!! I just am not a fan of pregnancy....the journey is horrible but the result is amazing. You are sooooooo close!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
