?You have so much more to go?

[Deleted User][Deleted User] member
in November 2012 Moms

REALLY!?!?!!? Because last I counted I have about ten weeks left out of you know FORTY!!!! UGH both my mom and MIL have said this to me at least 5 times in the last week as various response to things. They continue to talk about how much bigger, more uncomfortable and just all over pregnant I still have to get. I realize I basically just started 3rd tri and yea the worst is yet to come. However I have come pretty darn far and I am a whiny pregnant sap who would like some damn recognition for that. I thought it was bad in 1st tri when that?s all I heard but now with only 10 weeks left it makes me want to throat punch someone.

Whew I feel better.

So, STM?s please tell me is the last 10 weeks REALLY that much worse, as in the last 10 is noting compared to the first 30???

    People and their comments. Tired of them. My "Bro in law" whom I can't stand just said "Are you sure you're not having twins?". and laughed. I said "You're an idiot. I'm almost 7 months along and have gained the average amount." *eye roll. If one more person says 'Wait until the 2 a.m. feedings hahaha" I, too, will throat punch them. If I didn't want to deal with any of that I would have never gotten pregnant. Simple as that.

    I love the comments when there is a crying baby around, "Oh, you'd better get used to that sound!" Makes me want to slap a betch!

    My friends and co-workers that have had babies recently keep telling me that it will be over before I know it at this point.  They say it won't be too comfortable, but it flies by, at least looking back on it... Just remember:  "this, too, shall pass!"

    They are right in the sense that you generally get more uncomfortable as 3rd tri goes along, but it's not really that terrible.  You are almost done, and for me, the 3rd tri went by more quickly because we were busy getting things ready for the baby to arrive.  I didn't really get awful uncomfortable until about a week before DS came.  I hate that people feel the need to tell others how bad things are going to get. Clearly, if it was that bad, nobody would have more than one!

    I've been a good sport about not complaining because I wanted this but when I'm asked how I'm feeling I say good, not sleeping well but over all I'm good and I get "Mother nature is just preparing you for all the sleepless nights to come" and "It only gets worse from here" it annoys the crap out of me!

    - I've promised myself that the next time I know someone who is pregnant to only give positive comments when I ask THEM how they are doing!

    This is my 3rd pregnancy and for me the last 10 weeks seem to go by slow for me..i think its because at this point especially when you hit like 35 weeks you just want it to be over..your done being pregnant and just wnat your LO here with you! I will admit that i think most women start to get uncomfortable at that point but enjoy this time before LO gets here! Thats how i look at it! I hope it goes by fast!!

    I am a FTM as well and hear things like this constantly. Throughout my entire pregnancy my MIL has been pulling out "Just wait when..." type sayings every time I see her. When I talked to her around week 28 she told me since I had an IMO "easy" pregnancy so far that these next few weeks would be terrible. Thanks!

    Not to mention MIL scaring the living sh*t out of DH by explaining how moody / b**chy / terrible I would become the night we announced our pregnancy. Confused

     

    Haha sorry for the rant!

    Ditto what everyone else said.  Yeah, it gets harder, but its really obnoxious for people to go around telling you that.  At 30 weeks I imagine you are already having a little discomfort, so it's not like you have no clue what's coming.  People are idiots.

     Totally agree with all of this (this is also my third pregnancy). The last few weeks ARE the toughest, in my opinion but NO ONE needs to be such a Debbie Downer about it. It makes me crazy. I hope I remember this 10-15 years down the road when I'm no longer having babies and I come across a pregnant lady in her third trimester. I hope I just tell her, "hang in there, mama, you're almost done!" instead of telling her, "oh girl, it's going to get sooooo much worse." or reminding her how "awful" it is to have a newborn. Gosh. I hate that. Ugh.

    At my baby shower for my first child, a lot of my friends had kids and they kept telling me to change their diapers saying I "might as well get used to it." HA! Yeah right.

    I HATE, HATE, HATE that. I work with all women and everytime I comment on anything (I have to pee, my back aches, something is poking me), they are all like "oh, just wait...." about everything!!!
