Pregnant after 35
People who keep telling me...
...to have sex to get things started, clearly have never had or do not recall sex at 38 weeks pregnant.
My hips are in constant pain, I'm tired, everything down there is swollen and painful, and I have less than zero libido. I also have a 2 y/o who wakes up at 5:00 AM, so our window of opportunity is limited to the end of the day when I am beyond exhausted.
And I may sit my giant pregnant butt on the next person who suggests that and then implies that it will be a "fun!" way to induce labor. As much fun as TTC sex?
Anyway, vent over. More power to the ladies who still have the mojo at this late date.

I'm sorry. Big hugs.
I've heard walking at Costco or WalMart can also have that effect, but if you really are in that must pain/discomfort you probably don't want to do that either.

yah, I have suggested that in the past as it "worked" with my first child, who was late and walking didn't work. I maybe need a reminder of the fact that the further along we are the more uncomfortable we get (I am still 26 weeks). Sorry if I was ever one of the people who suggested it :-(
also, as a side note, when I had a 2 year old (my second pregnancy) I wouldnt let my husband (now ex) anywhere near me for a very very long time (both during and after pregnancy) Sometimes, Mom's forget :-)
I wasn't really thinking of anyone on this board in particular. More my IRL friends and :shudder: co-workers. I don't even actually want the kid to come yet. I mean it wouldn't be bad if he did but I want my parents to get here first so they can watch DD. They are coming on the 4th.
For some reason, people have been assuming that I want this baby out for weeks now. That is also annoying, umm no, I don't want my child to be premature thanks.
I guess I look miserable and people are trying to be helpful?
Co-workers?!! I shudder on your behalf.
People do have an odd way of being helpful huh?
I. am. SO. with. you. My LO has been riding low and my vag has been in pain for months so bad it wakes me up when I move in my sleep. I love DH. I truly do. But sex is the last thing I want.
My hips, back, boobs, knees and feet hurt. Sometimes my head too. Give me a hug and tell me you'll love my stretched out abs after it's all over. Good enough for me.
