Hitting an "end of pregnancy" wall *rant*

in August 2012 Moms

First off I have to agree that its weird seeing all the regulars MIA. It kinda makes the end harder that I know so many of you have your babies in your arms.

Anyway, the point of this rant is to say that for some reason I am having the hardest time being really pregnant this time. I was induced at 39.3 last time for pre-eclampsia and for some reason I feel like I handled the end of pregnancy so much better last time. It might have something to do with having a toddler to chase around but I feel like I am losing my mind.

I have a 39.4 week appointment tomorrow and I pretty much know theres not going to be any change. My doctor will strip my membranes but I'm going to ask him not to because he is off this weekend and I don't want his cover delivering me. This means I will have to wait a week for my next appointment to even attempt anything.

Sometimes misery loves company, anyone want to join in???

    Oh my goodness. I only have a week left and i want to pull my hair out. I went in today for an U/S and check up. LO wouldn't show his face at ALL for the ultrasound. They told me how my baby is actually measuring at 41.5 weeks (he's been measuring ahead the whole time) and how massive he is. Not much progression from last week. I asked the OB to strip my membranes....she said no. Apparently they don't do that at their practice. I almost lost it right then and there. They'll give me a week after my due date until they induce me. 

    I seriously have been in the mopiest, most frustrated mood all day. I know a lot of it is hormones, but I am so uncomfortable and so tired and I just want him out NOW. I don't want to wait 24 more hours, much less potentially 2 more weeks!!

    Annoyed because I, along with my MW, thought I would go into labor last night. Got checked this morning by a nurse in ld. All of my contractions stopped. Nurse wanted to start Pit and my DH decided to share his really strong feelings on the subject for the first time. Looks like I'll be pregnant for a while longer.

    I feel your pain! I was going to be induced Wednesday night and got bumped to Sunday because labs and bp was normal. Fine I could handle that. Then got a call from drs office this afternoon to schedule time for Sunday and was told I needed to be on strict bed rest between now and then due to mild pre-e. I definitely want to do what's best for both baby and myself but it's just so frustrating. I was so sick and miserable in the beginning then on bed rest due to low fluid in the middle and I was just hoping for a smooth ending. The next few days feel like they will last for an eternity!

    I am tired, crabby, and can barely stand myself. I am trying to count my blessings but I am done. I am done being pregnant and just want to hold my LO. I am tired of people at work going...Your still here? If I had a dollar for every time I heard that this LO wouldn't have to worry about college.  I just want to sleep now while I can, but I can't, my body aches and I just can't sleep....Rant over, so happy we are all in this together.

    I'm right here with you!  I know my due date isn't until Sun, but I feel like I was overdue as soon as it turned August.  Every morning I wake up with a chip on my sholder that I didn't go into labor overnight.  If I get one more text asking if I'm still pregnant I'm going to LOSE it.

    GL ladies, hopefully it won"t be long now!
