The drool! Oh god I had to wash my snoogle case today because last night I rolled over and could smell my own morning breath on it. Stank breath and drool stains for the win.

I know this is a light-hearted catch-all thread and may not be the best place to post this, but I don't want to start a new thread about this. I really just want somewhere to put this down.....I am under tremendous stress (aren't we all though), but it is so bad that I'm worried it is going to cause me to go into labor. I'm talking intense worries about doing this alone, not being able to provide for my baby, having a heavy heart from having it broken time and time again, and terrified of how I will be able to handle a baby alone if I do end up having a c-section.

Everyone tells me I will get through it. But I'm so scared I can barely eat or breathe.

Thats all. thanks for listening. Sorry to bring some negativity here. I just needed to vent. To put it in writing.

Is there anyone you can talk this out with irl @designchica‌?

Yeah, i have a therapist and friends, but I think I just needed to vent it to people who are pregnant, because I feel like the people I talk to about it don't really get what its like to be 36 weeks pregnant and be approaching a very difficult time of doing this alone.

I am glad you have some support irl. Don't let pride or anything else get in the way of asking for help when you need it. Be very specific about what you need.

If there is anything that I have learned as a mom it is that sometimes we get through the rough times simply because we have to. We are the moms and our babies rely on us to pick up the pieces every day and do it all over again. Even when it feels impossible, we get through it because there isn't another option, because our babies need us, because no one else can do it.

Hugs! You are stronger than you think.

You aren't alone in being alone! It's okay to vent, you'll get through this.

Tomorrow is my first day of maternity leave! Planning on sorting through baby clothes that were given to me and organizing it into sizes. May go to a matinee movie too (while I can).

I was in the same place with my first. Doing it alone is tough but one of the most rewarding experiences ever. My son and I have an amazing bond and I promise you can do this.

What a long weekend! Trying to catch up on everything I missed. @designchica‌ I'm sorry you are going through this. I know you are going to be a great mom! @Hufflepuff42‌ I'm so excited for your baby! @pooky08‌ no advice, but I hope all turns out well!

Heidig14 · December 2014

I just need to vent. Ended up going to the er last night because DH has been sick, he woke up and couldn't swallow and said it hurt to breathe. So off we go at 3am. Now he is at home sleeping, he has strep throat. I'm so scared to get it, and so tired. Also I'm at work fixing all the mistakes my idiot coworker made last week. I'm frustrated and terrified of how badly he is going to screw things up in the 2 months I'll be gone on leave. OK sorry for venting.

Venting is good for the soul.
And the sanity.

So is sleep.

Strep sucks but just keep things clean, make him wear a mask maybe, and wash hands a lot.

Heidig14 · December 2014

The worst is that he is so afraid she will be born and he won't be able to be there because he is sick. I keep telling him he would just need a mask but they I panic because I don't know how I would do it without him. (I'm due on Friday, I'm really hoping she decides to stay put at least until her due date)

CandEChicago · December 2014

@heidig14 - did they give him medication? He shouldn't be contagious after 24 (or 48) hrs on the meds.

CandEChicago · December 2014

DH has started to work from home since we are basically 2 weeks from EDD. He is set up in our (poorly insulated) office.

I just woke up from a nap and was stretching. Bump was exposed and he put his cold hand on the bump.

My body quickly recoiled under the blankets while (involuntarily) sending out a fart as a defense mechanism...into DH's face.

Heidig14 · December 2014

They have him antibiotics, so your right, he should only be contagious for 48 hours. He is just such a big baby when he is sick. I think mostly in just jealous he is home right now and I'm not.

Serunatu · December 2014

This is ridiculous, but I have the CUTEST cat. I just love her so incredibly much. I don't have a clue what I'm in for once the baby arrives. A little human, that I made, with my own DNA? What?! I think I might explode with love.

chicorojo · December 2014

Jumping in the random thread to say I'm in labor. Woot woot ! Dilated to a 6 and remembering how much contractions suck !

No joke, just farted at my desk. Didn't do it on purpose. Bent over and *buurrrrnnnnntt*

whoops.

I've been doing that for weeks makes you scared to make certain movements around a lot of people lol

rshamos · December 2014

Grr, in L&D for high Bp. It started to go down as soon as I was admitted. Now I'm here for who knows how long. I'm glad I came bc baby is so important, but I feel stupid.

desertsun · December 2014

Good luck, @chicorojo and @Hufflepuff42!

She went into labor around 6 AM, called the doc/MWs office- they told her to come in, she went in at 11:40- was fully dilated to 10CM with a bulging bag and had baby 10 min later! They had called the ambulance but baby came before they got there- then they took a quick ride across the street in the ambulance to the hospital.

Ah! Oh my goodness!!

BrainCellSup · December 2014

I don't want to be at work anymore. That's all I have to contribute, sorry guys.

So excited for you, @chicorojo! It's so crazy to realize this is all happening for so many of us now--from this side it's the same old waiting game but at some point I'll be in labor! Ok, so maybe I can wait for that given the jolt of wtf that just invoked in me.

Hoping all goes well tomorrow, @HufflePuff42!

@rshamos, I'm glad your BP started to go down, keep us updated!

@pooky08 This sounds like a tough decision--even when you get more information there are still so many outcomes! I would like to know if my baby has dropped, but then I really don't know how that information would help. I'd just move on to the next step to anticipate and wonder about.

kirstey728 · December 2014

Good luck @Hufflepuff42‌!!! Hope all is well for you!

Can't wait to hear about your LO!

kirstey728 · December 2014

Good luck everyone!

I'm 38 weeks tomorrow and I have my appointment tomorrow as well. Still not quite as real to me that I am going to have a little squish to take care of here in the next few weeks, but seeing everyone's posts about safe and happy deliveries is making me feel all happy!

D14 rocks!

Shortstack06 · December 2014

We turn the fan on for the furnace when we shower, I asked DH to check and make sure I shut it off. He definitely pulled his phone out and checked the app.

GradSchoolPrincess · December 2014

Good luck today @Hufflepuff42‌ !

allitor12 · December 2014

@Heidig14‌ strep sucks! My dd1 had strep the weekend before I went into labor. Luckily no one else in the house caught it. Hope you don't get it either!

My baby is the LOUDEST sleeper. Dude you are 2 weeks old.

Who ever said they keep getting Sonic ice, their ice has nothing on Sunoco!

Haha I routinely grunt from my ninjas movements!

I do too, and everytime dh panics and asks if we need to go to the hospital.

Lmao mine too. He is like afraid to touch me right now too. "I don't want to squish the baby." Lmfao.

It's cute though how he acts when it comes to LO.

Edited for grammatical errors.

Shortstack06 · December 2014

@bvsbabymomma‌ I have been wanting Popsicles like crazy,so I really did pay .15 for a cup of ice today

abcmom12 · December 2014

craving ice is a sign of low iron ladies!! Just an fyi

abcmom12 · December 2014

@marsavary, my baby gets 40 wks max then I serve her with an eviction notice lol Besides, they've found that baby's who go over their due date have similar issues like those who come early; I think it's sugar regulation and something else.

Not to say it happens to every baby who goes over 40 wks (don't want anyone to freak out) but I thought the info was interesting
