Can I have a pity party for a min?

abbyhannah8 · May 2012

In all honesty I know that compared to many people I have been pretty lucky with a relatively easy pregnancy. I hate to sit and complain because I know there are many people who want so badly to be pregnant and can't, but I think the hormones are getting the best of me tonight! I want this kid out so bad I could cry. I have always been one of those people that thinks it's best for baby to stay in the full 40 weeks and wanted to slap people that wanted to get induced early but I totally understand now! I have had a horrible cough for 3 1/2 months and the only explanation anyone can give me is that it is from the hormones and increased blood flow which is causing increased mucous and post nasal drip, thus the cough. We tried antibiotics just to be sure and nothing works! The Dr thinks that once the baby comes out and the hormones level off the off will go away. My acid reflux has gotten horrendous also and I throw up at least once a day from it. I have tried just about every med and nothing works. I swear I am so sick of feeling like a crazy hormonal nut case! I just want this kid out of me!!! Thanks for letting me rant!

Have you tried Nexium for your acid refux? It's pregnancy safe and one of the best meds on the market right now.

I KWYM. I had no idea the home stretch was so painful and uncomfortable. You can rant all you want. I think any woman who makes it to this point has earned the right to complain.

Rant away, sistah! You've earned the right to complain. To be honest, it took dh and me a long time to get pregnant, and thankfully it eventually happened. While I'm sooooo excited, thankful, blessed, etc.....i also have moments where I just want my body back. I want to go more than a 20 minute stretch between trips to the bathroom. I want to put shoes on without wanting to cry. The list goes on and on.

The good news is.... That light at end of the tunnel is getting brighter:)

I have to take pepcid each night and tums otherwise I get a nasty sore throat and cough the next day.

With DD I had to take it twce a day (10 mg twice).

Nexium helped me when I had bad AR while not pregnant.

have they made sure you dont have whooping cough? just in case

I have not tried Nexium but maybe I will ask. I know it's not whooping cough, I am a nurse in a Pediatric ICU so I have heard that very distinct cough many times. Thanks for making me feel better girls!

You're not alone!!! I wouldn't mind if LO decided to make her appearance a week or so before week 40. Just think, it's almost over. I can't wait to say "I sure miss being pregnant."

Just because we are doing something wonderful doesn't mean it's always easy/enjoyable. This is totally the safe place to vent as you can tell that many of us are there to commiserate with you.

*hugs again*
