Being pregnant is hard.

mn27mommy · March 2014

37+1 day today. Last night I had BH off and on all night, Im lucky if I make it more than 2hrs of 'sleep' before I have to pee! Baby is low so my digestive track is all wack and my bladder always feels full.. I had DS at 38+5 but all are different so not holding my breath. Just trying to plan as much stuff in the meantime so the time goes by quicker!

IOn top of just end of pregnancy miserable-ness, I'm getting phone calls and texts from everyone I know asking why I'm not in the hospital yet!

OMG, this! If I get one more text saying "any baby yet?" I'm gonna scream. I swear I'm about to send out a mass text to everyone I know telling them not to contact me until they receive contact from me announcing LO's arrival. Lol

@epowens10 and @Melissa72777 - SAME! if MIL calls one more time to ask if her grandbaby has arrived yet, i will freak. she calls DH every night, to ask if we've had him already and haven't told her. good gracious woman, STOP. and last night she was asking us when SIL should request time off from her part-time job and come up from college in order to be here for the birth. MIL's had three children... you'd think she'd understand that babies come on their own time, not when you ask them to. smh.

38w4d totally ready!! You're definitely not alone!!!
Today has been rough for me! Since 11:30 I've had everything from tightness, cramping, low pressure, contractions, queasiness, headaches short breath.... But all off and on nothing moving closer together... Just feel yuck!!
Hope it changes soon, either start something or stop-I hate days like this!!

Baby has dropped significantly over the last week and she's at the point now where she's headbutting my cervix AND my pelvic bone...oww....

I'm fighting a cold and I'm sick of not being able to take anything.

And my belly is itching like crazy because of all of the dropping.

I'm another one that it's getting a bit easier for instead of harder. At 36 weeks I was going crazy thinking there was no way I could go another day let alone to 41 like DS. Now at almost 38 weeks even though I still can't breath (baby is very high) and I'm dealing with the normal aches and pains mentally I'm feeling much better. It probably helps that even though I don't sleep amazingly well, I don't have to get up multiple times to pee!

It helps me to focus on the things I can do at this point rather than feeling like we're just waiting for the baby. Today is DS's 3rd birthday, we took him and DD to Boston, went to the aquarium, and rode on the T with them for the first time (DS loves trains). Tomorrow we're having his birthday party with the family which should be a fun day and with a newborn all that just wouldn't be possible. With how often they eat there's no way I could have gone today so I'm glad/thankful that I was able to be there to enjoy the day with him.

Next week, I want to schedule an appointment to get my hair cut and highlighted...maybe get a pedicure and basically just do some things for myself that I won't have time for once this LO arrives. As hard as it is now, I know it's going to be even harder taking care of a newborn and balancing my time with my older two so for now I'm taking it day by day and attempting to enjoy the last of this pregnancy

RIGHT?! I'm soooo freaking miserable, I don't even remember what normal feels like. DH learned how to adjust me btwn chiro appointments and no kidding, he pops my pubic bone back into place at least twice a day or a I can't stand up straight. Getting in and out of bed or up from sitting is absolutely hellish.

I send you big internet hugs and all my sympathy!! Seriously one of the most challenging things I've ever dealt with- my heart goes out to you!!

BUMP.

I am 38 weeks on Monday and showing no signs of anything. Not surprised, just tired and jealous of everyone else. My IRL friend due one week to the day before me just had her LO. I am cranky and it is fully possible I have another four weeks to go.

Just want head pats. That is all.

pepperedmoth · March 2014

Thanks, @woodshopgirl!

Aaaahhhhh I am pregnancy bonking.

benevolentforce · March 2014

Seriously. So over this false labor jazz as well. Exhausted and sore from 2 days of unproductive, painful and irregular contractions. Happy my body is gearing up (I hope), but not happy that there might be 4 weeks of this... during which I'm supposed to work the entire time. Meh.

CruiseGirl28 · March 2014

I went for a walk today and I think I over did it. My hips/pelvic bone (and my knee) are so sore. But that's it. Still no signs of contractions. I'm uncomfortable.

pepperedmoth · March 2014

So far I have tried bumpy roads, spicy foods, sex, and just jumping up and down.

I know it's "early" but IDGAF any longer!!!!

This!! Haha! 38wks is long enough for me, especially since it would be super helpful if he could come during spring break.

My feet are so swollen I think they're going to get stretch marks.

saisongbird · March 2014

LO won't stop moving around tonight, and she's low in my pelvis. And it hurts. And I can't sleep. And I have to get up for my last 2 days of work in 6 hours.

I WANNA SLEEP. Before I NEVER get to sleep again.

ProudMommy030614 · March 2014

2 figgen weeks of irregular contractions! Now I am swollen like a puffer fish except for when I go to the doctor and tell her about it, than I am not swollen one bit! Wth?

Aturl · March 2014

Irregular contraction all night here too!! Really hoping I can call the dr and he can tell me if it has done any good...

Well, if it makes you feel any better, at 37 weeks I started feeling really achy and huge and out of breath and had killer heartburn... And then baby dropped a few days later and I feel great at 40 weeks! It was like magic!

@pepperedmoth I just saw this!
