Feeling guilty

in 3rd Trimester
I am 35 weeks today and they have had to stop my labour twice now and I have one more week of bed rest. Is it bad that I just want my water to break and the whole thing to be over with? I want her to be healthy and everything but it is starting to take a toll on me. I am in constant pain I can't sleep I can't nest (due to bed rest) and the constant remarks about how miserable or fat I am. I'm not normally a depressed person but I just can't take it anymore....anyone else feel the same way?

    I think at this point most women feel like they're ready to have their baby already. Although it sounds like you've had a tougher time than most, it's pretty common to feel "done" at this point. 9 months is a long time to not be your normal self! So it's understandable to feel this way, especially being so close to the big day! Hang in there! You're almost done!!

    I'm 32 weeks and 4 days and yes I'm counting the days. I don't actually want him to be born premature but I just wish the next 8 weeks would hurry up and be over. I want my body back to myself and I really want him too.

    Awww I'm sorry your having a rough time! I remember feeling that way when I was pregnant with my daughter. I'm almost 29 weeks now, so I'm not where you are yet. I'm sure it's coming though. Keep your chin up dear your almost there!

    Don't feel guilty! You're uncomfortable and unhappy with the situation. And why shouldn't you be? It'll be done soon!

    Wanting to be done and actively try to start labor is two different things.
    Thank God for Raid.

    Totally agree. There's nothing wrong or odd with wanting a painful situation to be at its end.

    I will be at 37 weeks this Friday and if we are being completely honest, I have wanted my little girl to arrive since week 34. Hospitals are so advanced these days, i know my little girl would be absolutely fine. I was an extremely optimistic person pre-pregnancy, but this whole gaining weight thing has gotten to me. I was a size one pre-pregnancy and i am now buying sizes XXL (in stretchy clothing like maxi skirts). I cannot stand when people make remarks about how miserable I must be with the heat, or how much weight I have gained. I DON'T NEED HELP BEING NEGATIVE NANCY AT THIS POINT. You're definitely not alone. There is no reason anyone needs to comment on how much weight someone has gained. I am constantly looking up things to do online to make time pass. Like re-budget our accounts, build a dream home online, shop, pinterest DIY, texting/calling friends, facebook stalk people, i created a twitter, read books (I used to hate reading), and take extra long baths every day. The only thing that is keeping me sane is telling myself that she will come when she is ready, and i know i am not alone. Good luck, hope your little one comes soon!!
