Out!!!!

I want her out!!!! The emotional roller coaster I've been on for the last week and a half with my bp and trips to LD and all the talk of induction is killing me. I know we're all uncomfortable I get that. I can live with the Cankles, and sausage fingers. But the not breathing and constant feeling like I'm about to have an asthma attack is horrible. And the anxiety while stuck on bed rest home alone is horrible. I've done so well most of the pregnancy off my mood stabilizer and anti depressants for my bi polar but I'm reaching the end of my rope. If they don't make a decision soon on when
They are going to get her out they're going to have to put me back on my meds. Thankfully dh was home the other night when I started a panic attack and was able to calm me before it took over. I'm so frustrated. Baby girl is doing ok in there and is well over 7 lbs already. But I can't help but worry my stress level is not good for her. Ugh!!! I just feel like I'm going to crack.

Re: Out!!!!
Thinking of you girl. Just try and breath and remember she will be here before you know it. Believe it or not the end really is near.
Have you spoken to your doctor about how the constant changes are effecting you? maybe he needs to be blatantly told that he is driving you crazy!

I'm sure you're tired of hearing my unhelpful attempts at comfort, but I know where you are.
*HUGS* I wish you were closer so that we could survive bed rest together.
You are SO close! I hope they make a decision soon.
I'm so sorry you're struggling. I know the feeling of trips to L&D and bed rest. We spent several hours in L&D yesterday morning with some pretty intense contractions. I did find out though that I'm 2cm dilated and that my baby is head down and ready to go. We previously thought he was breech so that was a great surprise!
I was checked so many times yesterday that when I finally lost my plug this morning, it looked like a clot. After talking with an L&D nurse on the phone, I found out that the blood probably pooled there overnight because of all checks I had done yesterday. While the L&D nurse was gentle and only used 2 fingers to check, I swear my OB used her entire fist! lol
So I guess I tell you this to sympathize and say this time is so up and down with wanting to do the right thing and still trying to be patient and let our little babies stay inside as long as they need to. I keep thinking about all the things I'll love when he's here but also all the things I'll miss - having him to myself and not having to share him with others, the sweet kicks and movements I feel now, etc. While it's easy for me to say, I know it's hard to hear and sort of hard to make myself believe it too, but try not to rush this special time you have with your little one.
Hugs for you.
Hey there. Just wanted to say (((hugs))) as I suffer from panic disorder and can relate to your anxiety attacks. When they happen they are so scary and not being able to take medicine makes it even scarier! I'm glad YH has been such a support for you too.
It sounds like you have been really successful in keeping your baby girl baking and doing well, but now that she is almost full-term it would be a very good idea to tell your doctor or your psychiatrist how you are feeling (be honest with them and don't downplay it -- it sounds like the hormones and stress are starting to really affect you).
Do you have a game plan with your doctor for a treatment plan after you give birth? (Are you going back on your medication? Are you planning to BF? If so, are you taking a drug that is safe for BFing? Have you talked dosage, etc?)
Because of my anxiety, before I got PG I had Ativan for emergencies (to take when I felt a panic attack coming on) but I can't take it while I'm PG. Because I am concerned about getting postpartum anxiety I set up an appointment w/my doctor for 2 weeks after my EDD to check in with her and discuss a treatment plan, if needed. This way if anything is going wrong (if I find I am really anxious or having panic attacks) we can address it then. It makes me feel better to know I have this safety net rather than wait until things get really bad.
Let us know how you're doing!
