Officially over it.....

mandyjimmy · July 2014

I want my baby to cook as long as needed and to be healthy, but I am 100%, officially over being pregnant. I an so tired of not being able to breathe, get comfortable, sleep, etc, etc. I cried and cried this morning, but im not sure what exactly brought the tears other than being extremely tired. I hate to complain so much, but I just had to get it out!

I feel ya.

kcm3 · July 2014

We're almost there, but you're definitely not alone! Hang in there, Mama.

workmm01 · July 2014

The exaustion and discomfort are hard, but it will be worth it in the end. Hang in there! You aren't alone

kshare18 · July 2014

I think you are in good company here!

chase16 · July 2014

Yes. I feel you. I'm not sure how I'm going to be able to do another 6 weeks.

poofwok · July 2014

I feel ya. I've come to dread night time!

bkcgraham · July 2014

Sadly I got excited when my doc said he would let me go anytime after this week. I know it's better to wait but it's hard not to have a glimmer of hope.

Heard it!

dogperson11 · July 2014

Yes ma'am. During our birthing class last night we watched a birth video and the mom said "oh my gosh, it's over!" when they placed her baby on her chest. Her husband said something to the effect if yes, she did great during labor. The mom corrected him saying "no, I'm not pregnant anymore!"

BeachM · July 2014

It's almost over! You can do it! I really think the end of pregnancy helps you get over fear of delivery because it just sucks so badly at the end.

CanadianintheSouth · July 2014

This was me last week, I couldn't stop crying about it! Thankfully I am handling it much better this week and doing ok, but I feel ya. Taking this day by day now!

GinnyJ2012 · July 2014

Yup I'm done. He can come out as soon as he's ready, but sooner rather than later would be nice. During my prenatal yoga class this morning I told the instructor that we needed to do labor inducing moves. Lots of deep squats later he's still in there, but at least I got some stretching in.

I know I should want him to stay put until 40 weeks, but I want him out!!!!

KittyMisha · July 2014

I was just talking to another mom about this. We agreed that the last part of pregnancy sucks so much as an evolutionary tactic to make labor and the early newborn stage seem less intimidating. Even having done it before and remembering full well the challenges involved, I'm about ready to be done with this part.

shutaff · July 2014

I'm trying to think like @hmctagg01 and remember that these are my last days of "freedom," but dang, it's hard.

tamarar5 · July 2014

I so completely agree! Especially after my appointment today when she told me to expect a baby bigger than 9 lbs.

bkcgraham · July 2014

Had to add another one - just found out this afternoon my DS starts his new school the day before my due date. I really need to be done just a little early!

slippintrippn84 · July 2014

I'm finding that I've been able to manage my pregnancy prety well, but I am cracking and crumbling at work. I feel too stressed to enjoy any aspect of my final weeks. I'm at the point where I want the baby to come so I can get out work more than I want to be alleviated of achy back, swollen feet, lightening crotch, leaky tits, awful poops, sleepless nights, weird cravings/food aversions, overly emotional outbursts, and all the other things that are uncomfortable/unpleasant about being pregnant.

sarahg8r · July 2014

I am sooooo ready to get this show on the road, but also scared about having a newborn. I've woken up with contractions in the night twice in the last week. I am now officially obsessed with when I will go into labor or when I'll be induced (due to PIH). But the few times I've had contractions that I thought might develop into something, I have immediately felt like, NO NOT YET. So I guess I don't know what I want anymore!

One thing is for sure, I'm over the heartburn, aching hips, back and horrible pelvic pain and I can't wait to sleep without pain and drink a BOTTLE of wine!

bcbuzzafsu · July 2014

Three words. Pelvic. Girdle. Pain.

I'd sure like that to stop soon.

Venus04 · July 2014

I think the worst for me is the mental aspect of knowing I'm going to go from aches and pains and sleepless nights....to even worse sleepless nights. It's like, "So, maybe nine months after my daughter is born I'll be pain-free and sleep through the night?" Yay! *said with zero enthusiasm*

IvyMagic828 · July 2014

I could really do without a pregnancy-related skin rash and this cold I've recently developed (yeah, getting a cold in the middle of July is just cruel).. guess my immune system is crapping out with late pregnancy. However, I'm not ready for baby to arrive yet! Still too many things I need to take care of/finish up. I'm done with work Aug 1st so hoping baby will hold off until the Aug 10th due date at least so I have some time without work to do some final preparations! He's probably holding out for the full moon anyway...

Dup post.

This for me too. Right now everything hurts but I also know what's coming. LOL the other night DH and I had a "What did we do?!? We're at a really good point with Finn right now" freakout. I am still thankful that even though it's difficult to heave myself out of bed for pee breaks that I can simply get back in to bed in a quiet room without anyone needing me afterward.

Deep squats are supposed to induce labor?

*adds deep squats to daily routine*

I think you speak for all of us

rockyrollgirl · July 2014

Hang in there. I find myself feeling that way sometimes.

but then I remember...

Two under two.

Soymami2 · July 2014

When will it end ?

Raclla · July 2014

I'm physically done. Done. Done. Done.

However, I want baby to stay out because I haven't really done anything yet.
No furniture, no baby clothes packed, etc.
I've got a lot of stuff to do before the kid comes.

Also, 2U2.

cdseno · July 2014

I am so done that I annoy myself with the way I am acting. I apologized to H today for it. I stand up and have BH, I sit down and have BH, I walk and have BH, but none of it is real contractions!!!

tamarar5 · July 2014

I actually cried at the ob today. For no dumb reason other than I'm not done yet. And then I felt like an idiot because wtf is she going to do, deliver this baby too early because I'm sick of hurting? Of course not! It didn't help that she told me to expect a huge baby either. I could have done without that little bit of news. Now I get to spend the next four weeks dreading and worrying about support tears — because I will tear again.

raquelynn714 · July 2014

@tamarar5‌ omg I would cry too if I was told to expect a baby larger than 9 pounds. I would hold nothing against you got pulling out all the labor inducing tricks!

Klittle779 · July 2014

Random thought to add. Figured it went well with this thread: clothes. So over wearing the same thing every freakin day. 37w5d and don't feel like spending money on anymore whale sized clothes. My shirts barely cover my belly and at this point I don't even care! I never thought I'd miss buttoning a pair of jeans..... Come on baby!
