Anyone Else Feel Like This?

I can't wait to be done being pregnant!  It has only been two weeks and I am over the finger pricking and worrying about my blood numbers (GD)...I have had on-and-off back pain since the first few weeks of pregnancy that sometimes makes me not able to walk...and now I am getting aches and pains almost EVERYWHERE!  However, I am afraid that I am not prepared for this baby.  And being done with the pregnancy means having the baby here!  So I am also conflicted!  Does anyone else feel like this and did these feelings subside?

    You've got along ways to go if you are already feeling miserable.  I didn't start feeling this way until I hit 38 weeks, now I am ridiculously sore, and tired, and having contractions all the time.  As far as the GD, I've been pricking myself since my very first OB appointment, and this is my second pregnancy with that, so you should feel better knowing you only have to do it for a few weeks rather than the entire pregnancy.  You will have days where you feel great and days where you feel miserable, but try to enjoy it because it will be over before you know it.

    I also can't wait for it to be over.  I'm tired of the GD diet, tired of drowning myself in water (I'm not a big water drinker, so this has been like a nightmare), tired of leg and back pain and sweating all night long.

    I'm over it.

    I totally agree!  I am not a big water drinker either...but I keep trying to force myself to drink it.  My mom keeps saying "Enjoy your pregnancy." but it is really hard to!  I know that my body is going through a lot of changes and it is only temporary...but I am just over it!  I have a TON of things to do to get the house and stuff ready for baby and I have no desire to do any of it.  I HATE feeling this way and I wish that I could just make this feeling go away but I can't.  It feels like my body is falling apart (especially with the GD that I can't seem to be able to get a hold of...even with diet and insulin).  I feel like just a completely unprepared mess and horrible mother-to-be! Sad

    I'm feeling like that too, but I think it's because I've been having a particularly bad week. I breezed through pregnancy up until I hit week 28 and then all of a sudden I have nearly unmanageable mid-to-upper back pain at night, and queasiness/throwing up if I happen to eat too much or too quickly. I have no idea where it came from, but at night I get to the point where I'm ready to cry because it hurts so bad and severely limits my sleep. Tylenol (with the help of a heating pad on my back) is pretty much the only way I've managed to fall asleep at all for the past four days or so. I was fully expecting this kind of pain/discomfort at 37/38 weeks, but I don't know that I'll be able to handle it if I have to deal with this every day until delivery. Really hoping it's just a phase for now. :(

    Hang in there. I started having a lot of pain right around 28 weeks and I would literally cry thinking I'd have to be so miserable for another 12 weeks. Since then I've had good days and bad days but things got a lot better physically after week 32ish. Now I am 35 weeks and I am starting to feel like the end is in sight. I've also eased up on my activity level and really tried to listen to my body about rest and the pain has eased up quite a bit. You can do it and I think it is totally normal for the end of pregnancy to be a fairly miserable experience (or at least to have its moments). Good luck!
