F it! I am reaching up...

and pulling him out myself!!! I can not walk, I can not sleep, and now I can not sit down. I don't know if it is LO stretching out or what but his butt is pushed right up against my ribs and his head (and/or hands) are pushing on my hips and vajay. The only way I am comfortable is if I am sitting back at an angle. Add in the horrible gas pains and these weird period like cramps - ugh. This is awful. I always thought I wanted a bunch of kids (not like 19 kids and counting - that crazy lady has been pregnant like her whole life) but at least 3 or 4. I changed my mind. I NEVER want to do this again. And on top of everything I just read a post on the 3rd tri board about youtube-ing childbirth videos. I am officially scared for life.

    Believe me, it is all worth it in the end when you get to hold your little one in your arms!!!  Then 2 or 3 years will go by, you will forget about everything you are going through right now and you will want to have another one! ;-)

    Dont be scared for life....i know what your dealing with but everyones experience is different. God wont gibe you anything you cant handle.

    Im on the same boat sometimes not that i want LO to come early or anything but i just read a study that said if you have sex very often your more likely than not to have the baby a week before due. ? Idk how accurate it is or not but i just mentioned it to Dh..N the response i got was .... That im like using him for sex lol really??? Gosh im just trying to be somewhat on my game. Grr

    Yup, being 9 months pregnant kind of sucks. However, eventually this whole mental block creeps in that masks the god awfulness of it all and you will want another. For me it's around that 1 year mark when they start not becoming a baby.

    I watched some of the YouTube videos and it actually made me feel better about it all lol. There was one video of this tribal woman giving birth. She just sat in the grass, leaned to the side and her baby slid right out. The hospital birth videos were, of course, very different, but they weren't as horrifying as some of the stories I have heard.

    If it makes you feel any better, I felt terrible 2 weeks ago, and pretty great these days!  Hang in there...it's worth it.  SO worth it.

    Also, try doing all-fours position, especially if you can position yourself so your legs are kind of froggied, you're on your knees, and you can rest your chest and arms across a yoga ball....letting your belly hang.  SOOOO much more comfortable than any other position, gets the baby to hang down out of your ribs, and is muuuuch better for helping baby be in the correct position for labor (and comfort) than sitting/laying back.

    Sorry you're feeling this way. I have a feeling in a couple years you'll have forgotten how you feel today :
    The videos helped me feel better. It's scary at first to watch but I feel better knowing what my body is doing and I'm hoping that will help me not fight it.
    Now when I watch them I cry, hormones.

    Yup, right there with you! I've watched a few of those videos and freak out too, even though I've done this twice already; still very "Oh MY GOD!!!" inducing.

    I feel the same way. 3rd tri was soooo rough and I was so relieved knowing it was over. Now I haven't slept more than 3 hours at a time since Ivy was born, I have a very painful engorged breast, and my nipples hate me right now for what they're going through. I was laying down today, thinking that I never want to do this again, though I'm sure I will eventually. Oh, and I move like a turtle, add that to the list lol.

    It is the sucks now, but somehow we all forget about the bad parts and most of us choose to do it again... and again!  Try to take it easy now.  Enjoy your last few moments of peace before baby arrives and you never rest... again... ever.  For 20 yrs.

    I think we have the same due date...or close to it...and I completely understand what you mean. I always thought I wanted three kids but DH and I compromised on two. Now I'm starting to question if this will be our only LO because I do not see myself wanting to go through this again. Honestly the pregnancy hasn't been that rough except these last few weeks. I'm starting to get the harassing calls, texts, and comments about when is LO coming and what day is most convenient for everyone else. I CANNOT take two to four more weeks of this...no thank you.

    DH doesn't see the big deal in waiting the last few weeks and how it's any different than the 38 we've been through. I try to explain to him though the pains and feelings I have but I think men just truly cannot even sympathize with us. GL and I pray for both of our sanity that our LOs come sooner rather than later.

    I feel the same way! I have been trying to walk so much this week hoping baby will drop. Cervix will open, I will dialate a little, something, anything that says this will get going soon. I feel like after 6 months, things started flying by but now every day feels like a whole week. And for the phone calls, everytime I call someone to try and talk to get my mind off the fact I am NOT in labor, people always answer with, "is it time?" blah! At least there is this site. It has helped me so much and hopefully everyone else. I feel better knowing that there are many other women who are done trying to "glow" and ready to go! ha.,
