Some days are harder

I sit here (on modified bed rest since 28 weeks) at 34 /12 weeks.  I know in my brain that it is awesome that we have made it this far and are shooting for 36 weeks.  But after what we thought might have been time yesterday (4-5 contractions at 10 minute intervals and then nothing) I literally sit here waiting, bored, I have finished all my projects and I am ready for THIS project!  I can't walk well, I cant even stand up straight or stretch because B has bruised my ribs so bad.  I really shouldnt be complaining, but there are days that I find myself so down.  I am so ready for these boys to be here.

    I hear you! I'm 37 weeks today. I think since 34, I cried almost daily. It's so hard. Wish I could have some bright lining, but all I can say is "I feel ya".
    This is hecka hard!!! But take everyday one by one. That's all I could do. And now I'm going in tomorrow to deliver! Wahoo!!! It's gonna be here sooner than later. Big Internet hug.

    i may not be saying this in 30 weeks, but right now i'm so jealous!  i'm only 7 weeks and i wish i could fast forward to that time and know everything will be fine:).  (had a m/c in feb)   i'm sure i'll be complaining when i'm that far along, but hopefully by that point everything will be going smoothly, if not very uncomfortably!  good luck, i hope you get relief soon, you're almost there!

    Mel, I totally understand.  After cancer and infertility and more, this is a huge blessing and probably the first time I have actually put my complaints in print because I know how I used to feel when pregnant woman complained and it was all I wanted more than anything.  Enjoy the ride and its ups and downs.  Congrats!  It has been quite a ride and I definately think the part I had just not prepared for is that the symptoms most singleton pregnancies suffer for about a week or two at the end, you face for about 6+ weeks.  It does start to wear on you....

    Medmess,

     

    bless your heart.  i'm so happy for you and all the gals on here who have survived and are about ready to meet their little ones.  i also said after my m/c that i would never complain about symptoms again, but when you are queasy and can't even stomach a small meal, it sure is hard to remember those words.  you complain away, girl, that's what these boards are for:).  it's nice to hear stories of success after trying so hard or even success stories of those who had no troubles at all.  the wonderful thing is that no matter how much you complain, you still know at the same time how lucky you are.  best wishes!
