So, I know it's not what people want to read, and I hate when people just complain and complain on fb. But come on ladies, we are 8-9 months pregnant. Everything hurts! And I feel the need to share that with the world. I refrained from posting on fb, cuz at least here I know someone has got to understand!! Anyone else want to whine a minute? Please post! We share your pain!!!
Re: WARNING-I just want to complain a minute
YES I hurt every where and I have only gained 25, I feel like I have gained 100 and at 5'2 he has ran out of room!
People look at me all sad and feel bad.. 17 more days and I am SO ready!!

Hang in there ladies, we are so close.
"Yes, dear, your giant son is killing me from the inside....now STFU and YOU make dinner and deal with our other three kids' attitudes for a little bit. Oh, that's right they don't give YOU an attitude, that's saved for Mommy." /:)
I truly am more miserable now than I have been towards the end of my other pregnancies but I just am chalking it up to G-d helping me KNOW I'm done having kids... This is my fourth and they've all been c-sections.
2 weeks and 2 days before big boy (he's a LOT bigger than his sisters....and if he's not over 8 lbs (the girls were 7.7, 7.14, and 7.9) I'm going to be SHOCKED!!) is out!!!!
I have to walk only now and never have enough time in my work day to get out for what is a much longer exercise jaunt then when I could still jog - so only getting exercise a few times a week (tough when you were doing it every day).
My stomach feels huge and at 5'1" don't think the baby has any more room and I've gained way more than I thought I would despite eating healthy and exercising. I find myself huffing and puffing just doing simple tasks like going up and down the stairs.
I haven't really dropped and so acid reflux and heartburn is out of control, literally - burning and making me feel like I will throw up sometimes. I take a pepcid once a day and am still popping tums all day like its candy. Whenever I bend over, the acid kicks in double time. My metabolism slowed down suddenly and constipated every day now.
My feet and ankles are always swollen and basically wear flip flops everywhere which don't have much support, so my feet kill me whenever I stand for long periods of time. And my sinus swelling gets worse and worse every night - so that my sleep is interrupted regularly now.
I have 17 days to go and my doctor says my cervix is still closed - so I assume that means no effacement and she said no dilation - so now I'm worried I won't dilate or efface and will have to be induced and I'm terrified of Pitocin (after having a drug induced scenario after my delayed miscarriage - I am worried about what drugs will mean in terms of contractions).
And full time work is busier than ever...of course.
How's that for some complaining - boy that felt good
soontobehosford - Sorry about the PUPPS. Have you tried Pine Tar Soap? If not, I highly recommend it - wash with it twice daily. It smells strong like a campfire (but you can use a scented soap after you wash with it) but it helped my PUPPS a ton! Also - I take zyrtec every other day ( to help with itching). Every other day, because my PUPPS calmed down after using the pine tar soap -but when I was taking it daily - it took the edge off the itching.
Her kicks are getting so strong now they make me stop in my tracks. She also loves to use my bladder as a trampoline.
I have 5 more weeks to go and it seems so far away, yet I'm also starting to get nervous and anxious about being a FT mom.
I feel like I'm always complaining to DH and feel bad, so thank Goodness for you ladies.

I swear it takes me just long enough to get comfortable enough to need to get up to pee .. Then the process starts all over
My first one I was 160 and far less miserable when I had him.
@soontobehosford - I'm sorry - having dealt with it - though not as severe, I really do understand. Good news is it should go away after you deliver. Hang in there. I know its easy for me to say, since my case was much more mild - but relief will be with you soon.
Then last night I decided to not sleep with any panties on because it's getting harder to bend over to pull them back up every hour that I have to get up and pee, so DH thinks that this is some secret way or Morris code that I want sex. Well LO was totally on my side this time and at the perfect moment let out a very nice fart and DH turned over and I'm like yeah not so very sexy now! I love him to death and he has been a real trooper through all this but as hard as it is to get sleep of any kind the last thing I want is to be woken up at 3am for sex! Other than that sleeping with no panties was simply amazing!!!!
I hope everyone feels better soon and most definitely the ones with medical problems such as rash, yeast infections, hemroids, vericrous veins, ect!!
Other than that the heartburn is ridiculous and the constipation is unreal. 13 more days to go. And I'm terrified!!
