Most of you, I'm sure. I've got just over 3 weeks left, and I don't know how I'm going to make it. I'm tired, sore, peeing every 5 seconds, worn out from doing nothing, and it feels like I have a bowling ball between my legs. He better come early!
How are you feeling? Vent and complain here all you want.
Re: I want this baby OUT! (who can relate?)
Very, very ready. I caught a cold off DH and being 9 months pregnant and sick and having your husband sick kinda sucks :P WAAAAAAAAAH ok I'm done. Thank you for the invitation to complain
Hopefully both our lo's will come soon
I JUST posted this on the UO thread, but it definitely belongs here too.
If I read one more post telling other women how it's best to let baby cook, and labor will come naturally, and that of course you're uncomfortable but you should really just be patient, I'm going to scream.
I'm due in a matter of days, you can even count it in hours, and "uncomfortable" doesn't begin to describe it.
I can't walk. I can't eat anything because the acid reflux is unbearable. I can't sleep. My hips hurt like hell. My feet are swollen. My hands are swollen. My face is swollen. I can't put my own shoes on. I struggle to get off the sofa, out of cars, into cars, and up the stairs. I pee every 5 minutes, sometimes involuntarily. Someone clearly took a sledgehammer to my pelvis when I wasn't looking. I'm hot all the time. I'm constantly being kicked in the ribs. My maternity clothes are barely fitting me. I haven't had a decent bowel movement in who knows how long, and if one more friend texts me with, "had the baby yet?" I'm going to cut someone.
I'm done. D-O-N-E, done.
If I want to eat a jalapeno while jumping on a trampoline and sexing up the hubby, then that's what I'm going to do; and damn it, I should be able to do it without judgement.
I have mixed feelings. I really, really love feeling her in my belly and I have a feeling I am going to be depressed when that feeling is gone.
I am not worried about her cooking longer...she is due in 12 days, so I am sure she is fine. I am just having anxiety about having a real, live baby here! Don't get me wrong...I am beyond excited, but I am also nervous.
My doctor offered to induce 7 days early, which would enable my older daughter to be able to be here for the birth and would make things much easier on my husband with getting time off work, but I am struggling with the decision because I feel like it's all happening so fast now.

I'm definately there. The nausea has gotten to the point where I can't lay down for too long without being absolutely miserable. It's hard to be comfortable reclining because it makes me feel like I'm gonna puke. And when I'm sitting up, the only relief I get is by burping constantly. After the ER nightmare 2 nights ago, I'm just sitting here praying I don't throw up blood again and have to go back. I'm also hoping this is all pregnancy induced and that it'll go away once he's born. I don't want to have to deal with this with a newborn to take care of.
I've also definately got my waddle on. I have to walk slow wherever I go, and I have to take bathroom location into consideration wherever I go. At home, I guage whether or not it's worth it to get up, even for the bathroom.
I'm all for giving him every chance to be fully developed, but I'm so over being pregnant. I'll grin and bear it for now, but I'll probably go crazy if I get to 42 weeks without a baby in my arms.
I'm so so so done.
Diagnosed with GD at 10 weeks, on insulin since ~18 weeks (4 finger sticks and 2 belly shots per day). Major pain in my incision area through most of the pregnancy. Sleeping 3-4 hours total each night (not consecutive). Can't keep up with the boys. Can't cook without being wiped out for 2 days. Can't keep up with housework anymore. And now that he's dropped down I can't even sit comfortably.
I loved my previous 2 pregnancies. This one has been miserable from the start. Get this baby out of me.

I can relate, but I'm still terribly nervous!
I just keep thinking if I could just sleep comfortably for a few hours I'd get back to enjoying this pregnancy. But I can't. My "maternity leave" (I'm a student, so it's really me just deciding to stop working) starts next week, and I CAN"T wait to be done driving. Hopefully I'll spend all Monday sleeping
And I do know I'll miss feeling her in me and all that. I guess that's why the last month of pregnancy is so hard - it gives you the motivation to push!
Lol, I feel the same way, but I have a ways to go. I read this to DH and my brother and I said, "See? I'm not the only one." :-D
THIS!!!!
you go girl!!
Im also very very very sick and tired of people saying you think you are tired now.. just wait! Well yes I work 40-50 hours a week in a hospital doing graves, just finished another certificate program, I sleep 1-2 hours, a night..if that.. on the couch mind you (bed is not comfy)
Im pretty sure when baby comes Ill actually get more sleep than I do now plus Ill be able to go back to stomach sleeping!! so please stop telling me that.. PLEASE!
