I feel like I am falling apart!

I was SO healthy 1st and 2nd trimester. Everything was going perfectly, and now it seems like one thing after another. I told you all about my contractions that started over the weekend, and having to go to the hospital and all. Well, bow I have failed my GTT and I also have an iron defficiency. I am getting discouraged, but I am going to keep my chin up since my baby is healthy and everything has been manageable. Still, I can't get over how little control I have over my body, and the unpredictability of pregnancy. It is humbling.

    I'm sorry to hear all that!  I just have been feeling like I am a basket case and I want to pull my hair out!  Nothing gets done the way I want it or in the time I want it in. I've been dealing with a toddler who is more stubborn than I am and a sick 9 month old too.  I know life is frusterating and worse being pregnant but we have a short time left and we can do this Smile  GL Get some rest girly!

    This is the first of many humbling experiences as a parent... You know, the moments when you said "My kid will never..." - are probably the most famous last words when it comes to the humbling moments yet to come..  Of all the experiences of life, nothing will swipe your vanity like childbirth though...

    I'm with you though - With DD and up until Labor Day with this LO I had hardly any issues with PG whatsoever, then Labor Day weekend hit and I landed in the hospital with a kink in my GI track and had to do the whole GI cocktail...  Of course ever since, I don't even nearly have the energy to get through the day let alone get to the gym which up until that whole mess was 5x/week for 2hrs...

    I totally get where you are coming from. My pregnancy with DD was totally uneventful and I felt great through all but the last 2 weeks (when I developed a weird pregnancy related rash called PUPPS). This time around though, I feel like it has been one thing after another. On and off spotting/bleeding since 19 weeks (unexplained). Softening cervix at 21 weeks. Contractions starting at 23 weeks. Major pelvic pressure and pain on/around my pelvic bone starting at 25 weeks. Doctor telling me to significantly restrict my activity so she won't have to put me on full bed rest at 26 weeks until now. I'm so annoyed with my body. I used to think I was "super birthing woman" and now I just laugh at how little control I feel like I have. Arg. 

    Will baby #3 be another girl?
