I'm so done!!

in January 2014 Moms
So 35.5 weeks preggers and just had my strep test. For those have you who haven't had it yet... Enjoy that experience.
OB says that while DS is in the head down position (as he's been through most of my pregnancy) he hasn't dropped yet. To which I reply ARE YOU KIDDING ME??? He's already as low as I can handle! I am the most sick of not being able to see my feet and my vagina! I miss being able to wipe my a** without almost falling over, or putting my shoes on without help! I'm not even allowed to walk to the grocery store cause everyone is afraid I might spontaneously combust (or fall, whichever) I love this kid and I am so excited to see him but he needs to get his s*** sorted, get his feet outta my ribs and drop down!! Compared to everyone else my pregnancy has been a breeze but I am so done with it! I want to sleep more than 3 hours without having to wake up to pee, and god help Me I want a baileys and coffee

    Yeah... my LO has already dropped but I'm still getting feet in the ribs. Baby likes to stretch out.

    Upon waking this morning after another crappy night of sleep my DH reminded me "only 3 more weeks!" (ha!) to which I reminded him that having the baby out is certainly not going to help me (or him, for that matter) get some uninterrupted sleep. MOTN feedings and diaper changes, anyone?

    Every time I hear people worried about this or talking about it, I'm so freaking confused. I didn't even realize it was happening when they did mine.

    @peanutmuse. Donate one of your stones to her :) she will then know pain! My step b test hurt bad!!!! So I thought. Lol come to find out they did an std test too ( like a damn pap ) and didn't tell me. I couldn't figure out why I was the only women who experienced pain during the strep b test. Lol. This op has a lot of fun stuff coming her way!

    I'm pretty sure just about everyone on here is hitting the "over it" phase. I'm odd in that I'm actually not hating this trimester as much as I did the last two. Pregnancy Insomnia sucks of course, especially when your almost 2 year old has quit sleeping through the night for the past 7 weeks thanks to an ear infection that won't go away. Newborn phase is still way worse than the last few pregnancy weeks IMO, unless you are having complications, like bedrest, kidney stones, etc.

    ^ This is why I don't complain here (much. Okay, I try not to.). My "done" symptoms are run of the mill. Part of the pregnancy territory. If anything, coming here is a well-needed reality check when I am feeling a little too "poor me" for my own good.

    @Danielleveal+adamjakab We're all close to our due dates and uncomfortable...

    Strep Test is NBD! It's a q-tip on the outside. If you think that is an "experience", I can't wait to hear what you have to say about your first cervical check and better yet, LABOUR!

    If your DS was "as low as you can handle", he'd be an outside baby!

    Who exactly says you're not allowed to walk to the grocery store? Who ever they are, they are morons! If you want to and have the ability (not on bedrest) to do so, walking is very good for you!

    Ha! Sleeping more than 3 hours is non-existent with a newborn, that's the funniest thing I've heard all day!
    OH and BTW, you'll still have to pee quite often, and sometimes you won't even know you're peeing!

    I'm fortunately still feeling totally fine at 36 weeks, 3 days.  I still sleep great (except for waking up 2-3 times to pee at night), I only have some slight discomfort in my finger joints, and I'm otherwise feeling like myself.  My baby has been sitting low this entire pregnancy, but I'm fairly certain he hasn't dropped yet either. I mean, that's life. I would like to make it to my due date, so it doesn't affect me one way or another. 

    I think you should count your blessings that you have had an easy pregnancy so far OP, and maybe if you had been around you would see how many other women have not been as fortunate as you.

    Exactly. Everyone asks how I feel and I just reply that I am achy and miserable, but normally so. Nothing out of the ordinary for end of third tri pains.

    I don't think your baby needs to "get his shit sorted out" I think you do in order to prepare for what could be 6.5 more weeks of pregnancy. My pregnancy has also been a breeze compared to a lot of ladies and doesn't mean I have never complained but something about your post was off/rubbed me the wrong way.

    I don't know about anyone else, but I was much more comfortable before LO dropped. Just sayin...

    Is it a bad time to tell you he may be head down now, but could still flip on you? You stil got some time left & baby dropping isn't going to make anything better or make time go any faster.

    I would still feel weird starting an entire post about just how long I spent crying in the bathtub last night when I couldn't get my wedding rings off. But here I am using this reply to let everyone know...Haha.
    I was in tears last night because DH asked me where I wanted to go for dinner and I really wanted Red Robin but was afraid if we went there I would over eat and spend all night vomiting again like I do every night I eat too much or too late or the wrong food.  I am talking breakdown in the Lowes parking lot while he was just looking at me like WTF?

    I could totally see myself doing that if I was throwing up like that all the time! :(

    I was texting with a friend this morning who asked how I was feeling and I told her about the crying episode over my wedding rings and how I'm really sad that I'm not wearing them today because I would just be devastated if I was too stubborn about it and had to have them cut off or something and she was all... "Honey just wear them on a necklace." And I started crying. AGAIN. Because that's so obvious and why didn't I think of that? And they'll be close to my heart...and oh here I go again...

    It was the wrong day to wear eyeliner.

    I just want to send you internet hugs @bethughknee. A couple times in the last week I almost started breaking down as I sat there rocking DS to sleep, & hearing DH on the couch fast asleep.  Then thinking to myself how I am always the only one awake in this house! It was a roller coaster moment between wanting to cry & wanting to "accidentaly" wake up DH.

    Strep test was nothing close to what your OB will do when he/she checks if your cervix is opening! Get ready and "enjoy that experience"! lol

    WHAT!? You have 3 hours of sleep between pees?????? I cannot remember when I could sleep that much without having to pee! Now I pee, and by the time I put my underwear up, I put it right down and pee again... it is an interesting experience.

    I tried to explain this phenomena to MH and the best I could come up with was when you're drinking and right after you break the seal, it's like there's no telling if you have to pee anymore. You always FEEL like you have to pee. There is no satisfaction in peeing again even if you just did it. But you have no choice. He patted me on the head and gave me the sadz face.

    I have to pee so often now, my husband has actually started asking permission to go to the bathroom, take a shower, etc., because he "doesn't want to be in the way and deal with peed pants" Also @bethughknee - I wouldn't expect to sleep when your kids are in college. From what my mother told me, she just worried more with us out of the house.
    My mom said the same thing! She said it was only after we had both moved out for good into houses we owned that she started sleeping. And even then it took months before she stopped listening for the door/our cars. As my brother would say, "I guess I'll catch up on sleep the first year I'm dead."

    Sorry if that's morbid but it always makes me laugh.  :))

    This. I'm puzzled.

    If OP can't handle the strep test, L&D is going to be one hell of a ride for her.

    I actually hate the strep test more than any other part of the process. When I am laboring I can't think of the fact that people are looking at my vag and a bunch of other areas I would prefer to remain private. During the strep test, I'm acutely aware that someone is staring directly at my anus with its lovely hemorrhoids.

    To the OP, just FYI, everyone feels this way. And from experience, if you are one of the lucky ones that ends up overdue... Well, those 1-2 weeks are just torture.

    For the record, and hopefully for some hope for FTMs out there, I thought the newborn stage was 100x better than the last few weeks of pregnancy.

    Interesting enough, my Dr. Said there's no such thing as "lightning" or "dropping" she said its a term that was made up. And many Dr.s Use that term but it really doesn't mean anything. What you really need to know is if your dialated at all. That's #1. #2- your only at week 35, if your going the home stretch like me at 38 weeks and a few days... I'm sorry to say but it doesn't get easier. I think by the time we reach 40, (that is if I can even make it to 40... I'm considering to make my Dr. Induce me soon lol) you really don't care how this baby gets out you just want him/her out!! Safely and healthy of course.
