Yea, lol. Well my stomach itches from the stretching I'm assuming. But back pain sucks. My other annoyance is my wrists and knees, they feel weaker and it makes it a lot more painful to lift my body up from a low setting. Can't wait for baby to come out.
I just got back from the hospital and they told me it was nothing I was so scared and don't want my baby to come now I want him to be full term but they gave me muscle relaxers
I am appalled at how many moms are stoked over the idea of early delivery. What a horrible thing to wish on your child. Yes I'm uncomfortable and dream of the day I get my body back, but that's small beans compared to letting my kid's lungs mature, letting them gain enough weight to safely regulate thier temp, and letting their brain fully develop.
I just don't understand. Why? Why would squeeee about taking all that away?
Yea I'm 35 weeks now but im in so pain I can't wait for my baby to come hopefully he just come out next week I dilated 2cm already so I'm just waiting
Sorry to burst your bubble but you can walk around 2 cm for weeks. I was dilated 2 cm at 35 weeks and was still a 2 when I had to have a medically necessary induction at 37 weeks. Why would you want your baby to come now?? Lungs need time to mature. Even being induced at 37 weeks I was still nervous his lungs weren't developed enough. Thank goodness he was healthy at delivery.
I'm exactly as far along as you and I'm having the same pains. This is my second and I don't remember this happening so early. Hope you start feeling better. I am going to go get a massage and wear a belly support band!
I am feeling the uncomfortableness just like everyone else but to wish our babies to be born early is not ok in my book. I am a special education teacher and some kiddos born at 34-36 weeks CAN have major delays in learning. Not all but some can. Just stay uncomfortable and help those brains and organs get fully developed!
This post kind of erks me. Here I am 33 weeks and trying to keep my baby in as long as possible(was put in hospital for preterm 2 weeks ago) so she has the best possible shot at being healthy and all I have see lately "is i can't wait to have my babies early and how do I induce BS. You ladies need to wake up, stop being so selfish, pull up your big girl panties and suck it up for a few more weeks. What is a few weeks compared to a life time of possible health issues? Rant over.
Reading all these posts slamming another mother who's obviously in pain(@35 weeks in pain, and dilated to 2cm...), and ready to be done, is what disgusts me. I thought these boards were meant to be supportive of each other?!?? You should all be ashamed of yourselves, especially as you know nothing of her entire situation. To that mother: mzred26, i wish you the all the best, and hope your pain gets better and you have a nice healthy baby, whenever it decides to arrive!! I myself am now 33 weeks, having lots of issues and pain, and hoping this baby is ready before 40weeks, (like my first child was..) they say 37 weeks is perfectly fine and safe to deliver... Fyi, I had my first child 14 years ago @35 weeks, she was perfectly healthy, spent no time at all in the NICU, and went home with me 2days after birth. Today she is a very feisty, healthy, smart as a whip teenager!
Hostile Much Ladies??? Pregnancy at the end is hard and everyone wants it over. I have been on bedrest since 18 weeks. Have had two long hospital stays. We experienced a stillbirth at 32 weeks with my last pregnancy. With this pregnancy we have prayed to make it through every week. We are extremely high risk and have a great team of specialst. However I take no shame in saying " I want her out". It's not that I am tired of being uncomfortable it's that if I go an half an hour without movement I am freaking out that we lost her. But guess what..the other day when I went into preterm labor and prayed that it would be over. My doctors didn't tell me how selfish I was being. They said it was normal for me to wish it over.So before you slam all of us moms who want it over with... Maybe you should know our situations. We were preparing to have her at 23 weeks in November. I will gladly take 34 weeks over 23.
There's a big difference, in my eyes, in wanting your pregnancy to be over versus hoping that your baby is born prematurely. I can't wait for my baby to come either, but I'm not hoping that she will be born next week. Just because it worked out in for the best for one of your children by no means guarantees that another baby would be as fortunate. This isn't a matter of opinions, it's a scientific and medically based fact. Babies are healthiest when they are born at least after 37 weeks and even more so when they are carried to term, which is 40 weeks.

Well the flip side to this is there are several mothers who at are risk of having a preterm baby or an early full term baby and want them to stay in as long as possible. So it is a valid point of view. You may not like it, but everyone is entitled to express their opinion on this board, and it does not have to be in a manner that you approve. This is how a public forum works.
1) If you want me to know your background story, tell it. Don't just say you're 35 weeks and hoping/trying/wishing for the baby to be out in the next week. There's no reason for me to assume that your last child was born even earlier or the doctor wasn't sure you'd make it that far.
2) If you were saying that you are wishing the baby to be out in a preterm time frame in a joking manner, this is not the right venue. No one can tell you are joking or kidding, we don't know you and your actual wishes.
3) The majority of people are in pain. I barely could walk into work this morning, my back almost gave out. And I'm only 32 weeks. And plenty of people dilate a few centimeters weeks before they deliver. It's not an argument to have the baby preterm.
Regardless of my discomfort, pain, or general displeasure with pregnancy, I have no interest in having this baby earlier unless there is an actual medical reason the baby needs to be delivered before 40 weeks. Because the best place for this baby to develop and be healthy is right inside of me. Would I like my pregnancy to be over and have her out? Absolutely. I'd love to see my feet, be able to breath, and sleep and walk without pain. But I do not wish for my baby to be born preterm and I think it's messed up if you do. Period.
I will say this. We are all uncomfortable, we are all in pain, we are all short fused but that is absolutely no reason to try or want to have a baby preterm. I stand by my original post, and to the ones who are defending the pretermers, it just shows your ignorance to the health ramifications of having babies preterm. That's all.
I'm 36 weeks today. Everything hurts. EVERYTHING. I'm swollen, my entire back hurts. My pelvis hurts with every move. Knees are weak. I don't know how I will make it 28 more days. :-S
The sheer stupidity here.... @BumpCaitlin@BumpAdmin and all the others "in charge" now - THIS is ok? A bunch of moms to be for the first, second, third time who come here to selfishly try to bring on premature birth or try to justify having a baby before it's ready just so they can get relief?? Yet you will quickly delete posts from the regs you so hate because they actually gave intelligent and SAFE advice, whether it be nice or the cold hard truth, and you just didn't like it because it wasn't blowing enough smoke up these new comers' asses. This is absolute bullshit.
Re: I'm 34 weeks 2 days in so much pelvic pain back pain body itching anyone else like this?
I cannot BELIEVE this. This is unreal. What a freaking slap in the face to all the mommies out there who delivered prematurely.
I just don't understand. Why? Why would squeeee about taking all that away?
