Anyone else over this?

Amatadei16 · May 2014

I'm super cranky lately because I am soooo over this being pregnant thing. I just want to get this show on the road! And, because of that wicked combo, I find I am completely unreasonable with all our loved ones' excitement. I swear, if I get one more text or phone call or FB message asking how I'm doing, how's it going, how things are progressing, I'm going to smash all means of communication with a giant hammer. What do they want me to say? "Yes, I'm still pregnant. Yes, I'm huge. Yes, I'm exceedingly uncomfortable. Thanks for asking."

Anyone else turning into a horrible person whose Hulk-like anger is triggered by well-meaning loved ones?

khaalid00 · May 2014

FTM and agree with OP, you are not horrible. At 38 weeks, I have been getting irritable with those same questions especially at work since I am working until labor begins. Why is it such a shock that I am still pregnant and worse hearing other Mamas giving bad advice and bad stories that I can give birth 3 weeks early because they did, etc. Hello not helping! Now working half days of work 'cause I stinkin uncomfortable. answering calls much less from friends and family. Texting is a beautiful invention 'cause I can answer back vaguely or not at all. I want to be left alone, stress free, and relax as much as I can before labor starts.

queenieM · May 2014

I am feeling irritable and uncomfortable at 34 weeks! It feels almost as if overnight I went from progressing normally and feeling ok to horribly uncomfortable! How many more weeks of this?! And how much bigger will I get?? :-/ It was quite the sight to see me flopping around the living room the other night, trying desperately to get comfortable! :-p any passers-by might have thought I was a beached whale trying to find my way back to the ocean

missyrissy · May 2014

I'm only 32wks and today was my first night of saying, this is getting hard. I'm ok still but instead of getting cranky I went the opposite direction and went really "sorry" about everything and seem to be trying to please everyone more, which is not like me... And it's annoying.

jasrun80 · May 2014

I'm 39 weeks 3 days with my third & every single night it feels like labors starting,,, then nothing! I'm SO over it & everyone I see says "ohhhhh I thought you'd have that baby by now" ,,, I'm so evil I feel like saying "ohhhh, and I thought you'd have lost that 10 lbs/fix that haircut/stopped wearing bright blue eyeshadow by now too" --- this especially when I'm crossing people I haven't seen since last fall due to the long invasive winter we have experienced, none of my neighbors have seen one another etc,,,

colllydon · May 2014

I'm 39 weeks today and I told my sister last night to stop calling me. I know she means well, but I can't take it anymore. I'm only 39 weeks. Most ftm go past 40. It's like they don't think I'm going to call them when I have the baby or something.

GermanGirl2007 · May 2014

This is driving me nuts too. But no one calls me. My own family doesn't call to ask how I'm doing, or catch up or anything - and they all live 1200 miles away! But if I call them, because I haven't talked to anyone in awhile, they answer the phone with "are you in labor?!?!?!" No. I just want to talk to you. I honestly feel like no one cares about me and what's going on in my life unless it has to do with the baby. I mean yeah, I know everyone is excited, but I wish I felt like people cared about me as more than just the vessel that is carrying this baby.

kd&cd · May 2014

Omg yes...I am SO done. Don't get me wrong I want her to bake as long as possible, but the last 2 months of pregnancy suck! I'm fat, emotional and sometimes (yes only sometimes, tho DH would say otherwise) irrational. I'm ready to start the journey back to being ME!!!

Amatadei16 · May 2014

Whew! I'm glad I'm not the only one! Since we battled infertility for this, I feel so awful being crabby about the discomfort and the waiting and the constant questions but seriously, just over it! I'm 39 weeks today and am so impatient to meet this little guy and end the pregnancy-related discomfort and all the well-meaning but infuriating questions.

And @collydon, I said the same thing to my DH-- it's like his mom thinks we are going to pop out this kid without telling her! She literally checks in with me EVERY day-- "How are mommy and baby doing? Any news?" Well no, not since you asked/saw me freaking yesterday! When you reminded me for the billionth time just how anxious you all are to meet this little guy. I KNOOOOOWWWW!!!!! I'm about to tell everyone that no one is allowed to talk about me being pregnant or the baby until he arrives.

kara222 · May 2014

I'm only 35 wks, but yes!! We went to Chili's today for lunch and the waitress was driving me crazy - her face, her words, her moves. I am not usually irritated easily but she was getting in my nerves. Not to mention the fact I've cried like 5 times today for no reason. And have had a headache everyday for two weeks. Hormone surge!! I just want to feel like myself again!!

Silvermystique13 · June 2014

Yes! Quite done! I'm so uncomfortable, between the giant belly, not being able to move, he keeps whacking my bladder/urethra, and the almost-at-the-finish-line vagina swelling/pain (I apologize for TMI, btw), I broke down and started crying while I was taking a bath, I felt so beached and in so much pain. I love my son, I want him healthy and perfectly developed, but I want him freaking out of me so I can maybe be normal again.... Every few nights I keep thinking, I can't wait til my guts are my own again.... I'm so glad to know I'm not a bad person/mom-to-be for feeling like this.....

ErnieZippy · June 2014

Feel so much the same as all of you! So uncomfy at night, squashed lungs, blocked nose, hard to breathe, and I'm only 32 weeks! I really hope it's not going to get exponentially worse. Waaa

Daughterofeve84 · June 2014

What astounded me was the sheer amount of folk who asked me if i was getting fat. These are people i see everyday. The other one is "so when is the baby due now?" Thats right, i forgot the date moves up and down! Rage

Junebaby614 · June 2014

So over it. And so baffled by the friends who told me months ago "Oh if I could I'd be pregnant all the time!" Selective memories??

Daughterofeve84 · June 2014

Oh i know. But you don't want to start ripping their heads off other you're being hormonal pft.

Lynnja616 · June 2014

Try being 10 days past due. I go between wanting to punch people in the face and sobbing. Hormones, yay.

Haha incredibly selective memories. I, in no way want to be pregnant all the time, but I do miss it! And a lot of my pregnancy was really difficult. I was a week late and holy crap.. The only thing I wanted at the end was to start feeling contractions. I just wanted to not be pregnant anymore!! I'm anxious to do it again though :-)
And when I had family and close friends asking if I had the baby yet- really?! Don't these people think they would have heard? People need to quit asking at that point and be patient.

Kaimyra · June 2014

This is so reassuring to read. In only 31 weeks, but am starting to feel some major changes in my mobility and emotions. I've been heavy throughout this pregnancy, but just this week that changed to where I cannot change positions or get off furniture without it being a whole production. Oh, and leg cramps started last night...so not happy about that.

I'm definitely not feeling like myself right now and am both anxious and nervous to get my body back to myself. Helps to hear I'm not alone

NADA-H · June 2014

heck I'm 36W 3D and I've already been asked: you haven't had the baby yet? and I've only announced I was pregnant at the end of my 4th month of pregnancy

arcangel333 · June 2014

It's so nice to hear I'm not alone in this. I can't wait to be a mom and I only want him to be healthy, but I want him out. Now. I'm so beyond over this constant pain, exhaustion, anxiety.... All of it. It seems like my hormones have turned totally hostile and all I want to do is punch someone in the face. Everyone keeps telling me how much they loved being pregnant and I just want to scream. I am so ready to hold this little one in my arms and not in my belly!

Laynelover · June 2014

I can't wait to have my body back! I'm not used to needing help from others- DH is in Afghanistan and I don't have any neighbors. But I work in a Police Department, so at least I can get help when I need it. The guys are usually pretty funny- but my irritation level is increasing every day. It is appx 100-110 degrees this week here. My boy is extremely large ( expected to be over 10lbs) ,due to DH's stellar genetics. I was 120ish before pregnancy.

"How many days left?" uh, like 65! "You're huge!" Well, it's not going to get SMALLER anytime soon....Yep, it's only June- I'm due at the end of August!!! I told my Chief I don't know how long I'm going to last if I keep having to actually talk to people at work. AND my idiot relatives trying to give me grubby hand-me-downs that are so gross I wouldn't even pass them off to the thrift store! Honestly! I don't want my cousin's old crib mattress! That's almost as gross as used underwear!!!! I just try to keep my mouth shut.

Molly Sly · July 2014

So glad to find out that I'm not the only one feeling this way! I feel so hostile towards everyone, especially friends and family. It drives me crazy that everybody only talks to me about baby stuff throughout my entire pregnancy, like none of my life exists outside of being a baby vessel!! Hello, I have a career and other goals in life other than this kid! But they just see me as a giant belly on legs. All the questions and unsolicited opinions and advice drive me crazy too. For some reason, people think pregnancy gives them liberty to ask all these invasive personal questions that they would never bring up otherwise. Also, I'm starting law school about a month after the baby comes, and I always get the response, "Whoa! How are you going to handle a newborn and school?" like caretaking is solely my responsibility since I'm the woman. If my husband were starting school, nobody would say a word about it.

I'm 37W 1D and I haven't felt like doing anything or being social for the past month now, because I keep getting sucked into the same annoying conversations. I just am tired and cranky all the time, and hanging out with friends or family is a chore. I don't want to talk about pregnancy anymore, I am not the sunshiney pregnant lady...all I can think about is getting this little girl OUT so I can start enjoying time with her!

Hilee18 · July 2014

I have breakdowns a lot. Mostly people are great my coworkers remind me to slow down (I had preterm labor issues and such) and are supportive. But one comment on my size or something and I feel so bad, I'm small and so is my baby it's a bit of a sore subject.

ready-or-not · July 2014

37 weeks tomorrow & i just want her out of my ribcage, please & thank you.

This is my 4th & last pregnancy so although i am over being pregnant at this point, its a little bittersweet!

mercedesbenz802 · July 2014

I want to cry all the time. It has been really hot and humid in Vermont and I am dying.

Truelove21 · July 2014

I'm 32 weeks 3 days and can no longer sleep through the night. I don't have much family poking at me but DH is driving me crazy. He is a great guy and he means well but he is smothering me. His body is always flaming hot so I don't want him anywhere near me. I don't want him touching my belly anymore to try to play with the baby because his hands are hot and he pokes too hard. And I don't want him asking me how I'm feeling since there is pretty much nothing he can do for my misery and pain. No way I sit stand or lay is comfortable anymore so i'm stressed all day everyday. Lauging hurts. I'm lucky if I can find something to distract me from it all. I still have a little ways to go and I hope it doesn't get much worse or i'm sure i'll turn into godzilla. Honestly the only thing that cheers me up lately is when LO gets the hiccups and I can feel the beat in my belly. I just think its so adorable. But other than that i'm just like go @*$& yourself to anyone that smiles in my direction.

SGC29 · July 2014

I'm the opposite. No one has really asked me how I'm doing or shown much excitement. I'd love for someone to ask me how things are going or if I'm getting excited. I think by the 3rd baby no one really cares, but it would be nice to have others to be excited with (other than just my DH).

marathonmommy82 · July 2014

I started being more general about my EDD. I couldn't stand hearing AUGUST 21 WILL YOU EVEN MAKE IT THAT FAR??

So now I just say august.

NADA-H · July 2014

my due date is July 9th and this is my first baby and I'm done with people asking me if the baby came yet and then when I say sadly not yet they think they comfort me when they say "better in than out" like what is that supposed to mean? she's coming out soon anyway!

It's Ramadan now for Muslims so I'm fasting from Dawn to Sunset, no eating or drinking, which means a break the fast dinner party everyday, and while this means I never have to cook cause we are invited out or eating at my parents daily it also means I'm fasting all day long while working 8:30-3:30 till the day my water breaks, but then once i break my fast at 6:30 I feel faint for a while cause all blood is gone from my head to stomach suddenly. It also means that we have to wake at 3 am to eat a light meal before we hold our fast.It also means that I see aunts and uncles and cousins almost daily and I never get to lounge and be home alone enjoying my time with a nice glass of cold juice.

all of that would be perfectly fine since I'm used to it since birth but while heavily pregnant it's so uncomfortable, especially when everyone starts telling you how labor is gonna go and how having a baby changes your life..like I need the reminder! and especially when you can't get enough sleep.

the temperature in Doha has reached 122F and humidity is 40% and my AC decided to break down now!

once the baby comes I will not be fasting, I will be on leave from work, and we will move in with my parents to help us with the baby and I won't have to worry about driving out in the hot sun or waking up at 3 am or fixing up my house for that matter so I'd say better out than in!

dschneider1583 · July 2014

I am almost 39 weeks and I am done with this. I want him to bake as long as he needs to but I am becoming so miserable!!! I had my last day of work this past Thursday so I no longer have to deal with those people asking me questions but I am so over this pregnant thing. Any day our little man wants to come I am ready!!!

Nichole8787 · July 2014

queenieM · July 2014

My due date is today and, while I feel that is a major milestone, somehow I don't feel like he is gonna move anytime soon! I am sick of being winded all the time, and the lightning crotch has seriously gotta stop

monkeysip · July 2014

I've been totally over this THE ENTIRE PREGNANCY.

But now that I'm 41 weeks and 1 day.... I want to kill someone. Beyond the terrible back and pelvic aching, heartburn, lack of sleep.... I'm suffering with PUPPP now that has spread from my belly to my arms, hands, and feet.

Dear God let this baby get out soon...
