am I the only one that cannot believe I'm still pregnant?!

marmar32 · December 2015

I wake up every morning optimistic that today will be the day. Every night I'm disappointed! I just think I'll be pregnant for the next few years! I'm starting to get really down. Really tired. Really annoyed. Really sore. Just ugh!

essentialpeace · December 2015

Are you over your due date or just sore?

Someone told me to add 14 days to my due date to help make sure I wouldn't be disappointed if I go over. It's helped tremendously other than I feel like I have all the time in the world to get things done especially being a FTM. I can empathize with the feeling of physically being "ready" though for sure.

Yes I feel like this but I try to ignore my feelings as I'm only just 35 weeks today and I always have to be induced so I'm pretty sure I'll go over (my other 3 kids all were). But end of January (or early February if he is late) seems so far away and depressing. I am so huge and uncomfortable that (I know it's awful) I'd be quite happy if he made an early appearance! It's hard to remain positive when I'm this uncomfortable and in pain with 3 others to look after (4 including hubby!) & especially as our toddler has decided to start waking up screaming several times a night so the lack of sleep isn't helping my mood!

At least we have Christmas as a distraction so try and focus on that & then new year! Hopefully after baby will arrive soon after

But yes in can empathise with you & it's totally normal.

Nope you're not the only one. Simply scroll down and you'll find lots of other tired ladies to commiserate with

Moore2love2014 · December 2015

I feel the same way EVERY DAY. I'm 38 weeks today. I have a dr appointment. Really hoping I'm dilated. I have the worst pelvic pain known to man (I feel like) because his head is so low. It literally kills me to move in bed at night. I have decided if I haven't made progress (was still closed at my last appointment) I'll go ahead and schedule to be induced. Not really what I wanted to do, but I can't take the pain.

Grace213 · December 2015

I wholeheartedly agree. I had my DD at 37+4 so I figured I would have had this one similarly. Plus, I started having contractions at 30 weeks so doc figured I may even have a preterm baby. Nope... 38+4 today and this kid seems to be quite content in there... I am absolutely miserable (and getting more and more irritated by random peoples inconsiderate comments about me being HUGE). Doc said he would induce on the 27th if I wanted. I have an appt today and Im totally putting it on the books!

Mousie93 · December 2015

Complete empathy. I'm 37+3 and starting to get pretty fed up and uncomfortable. I had false labour last week due to an upset tummy, thankfully baby is okay and still in there. Two people I know had their babies at 37 weeks so I can't help but panic over every twinge, even though I know he's unlikely to arrive this week! Just gotta get through Christmas....

failuretofly · December 2015

Oh dear, I am the COMPLETE opposite. My mom is so excited and keeps reminding me "only 36 days until your due date!" "pretty soon you'll have a newborn" and I'm like nope, nope not ready. But I am a FTM and only 34 weeks so maybe that's the difference. Things might change once we get the nursery set up and done haha.

UptownPearl · December 2015

I've expected and accepted I would probably go late my whole pregnancy, but once I hit 37w I started to get impatient and looking for pre-labor signs. I'm 37w4d now and just want to make it through Christmas so I don't mess up my family's plans, but if he came anytime after 38w3d I would be fine with it. It's such a tricky time (37-40w), feeling torn between wanting baby to cook as long as he needs and being so over pregnancy! I guess that's why they say the last month of pregnancy feels like eternity.

kmo8986 · December 2015

I am so over it! I am off the rest of this week and next week for the holidays but then am dreading going back to work until baby girl comes. I am so uncomfortable just relaxing (well and chasing my 21 month old) at home, I can't imagine I am going to be pleasant at work come January 4th until whenever she decides to arrive (due the 24th but went 2 weeks early with my first)

Cristie2225 · December 2015

My 2 year old is waking up crying all night too!! I hate you molars!!

SummerOH · December 2015

I'm 35w5d and am miserable most days. I have a 16 year old with lots of extracurriculars, a very active 3 year old, 2 horses, and 3 dogs. Not to mention my work day, which is 12 hours between commute, walk, and time in the office. So I 100% commiserate with you! DH is so helpful and has taken on so much, for which I'm immensely thankful, but I'm over it, too. However, after seeing several friends have kids in the NICU from early arrivals, I want this little boy to cook as long as possible. Plus December is already crazy with both kids bdays and Christmas. I lock myself in the bathroom, have a good cry and pity party, then take a warm bath with Lush products to treat myself - makes me feel better on the really bad days. Hang in there - we are close!

I was like this until I hit 36 weeks. I kept saying it's not that bad, he can take his time. Im a FTM and I'm not "ready" for him either. Now at 38 weeks I am miserable and would give anything to have this little guy here like yesterday! Im never really going to be 100% ready, his stuff can come out of boxes as I need it and he's not going to know his room wasn't perfect when he came home so get him out of me! Haha

Vamason89 · December 2015

@SummerOH Lush might as well have sponsored this pregnancy. Those products are sometimes the difference between sanity and losing my mind.

SummerOH · December 2015

@Vamason89 Remember that their annual BOGO sale is coming up on December 26th! Stock up!

babybluu · December 2015

38+3 today and I feel super done too but at the same time I'm grateful for every day that baby gets to cook.

mesamyt · December 2015

I have 15 days 14 hours until my c-section and have been in prodromal labor for more than two weeks. I am more than ready for this pregnancy to be over. I've never been a fan of pregnancy to begin with but I'm pretty sure your last one lasts 3 years, not 9 months.

Smoochie789 · December 2015

I started getting antsy at 36 weeks. I'm 37 today and the size of this baby is really starting to weigh on me! I get to find out if I'm dilated on Monday and I hope I am! I also have been looking for any sign to signify labor - which I think is probably why I've also been really worried that I'm going to miss the big sign saying "you're going into labor!" So hard to be patient when the end is so near. If I hit 40 weeks I'd like to be induced - hopefully they will let me.

scornwell717 · December 2015

I couldn't believe I was pregnant the day I found out and I still can't believe I am. That day back in May seems like an eternity ago!!! Will be 39 weeks this Saturday and I am so ready to not be pregnant and uncomfortable anymore.

Hipshaker · December 2015

I was checked today 38.1 and nothing! A little softening but, nothing. I'm 11days away from my due date. And I'm looking at going over now. I just want to hold him and smell him and sleep on my stomach again. I'm so, ready but I have to wait for spontaneous labor for vbac with my mid wives. My bff who is due 6 days before me is already dilated and effaced. Damn it.

StephEppie · December 2015

@SummerOH and @Vamason89 I too don't know what I would do without my Lush! My addiction is so strong I've worked there over 3 years full time! The products have helped to make my pregnancy a bit easier at night to relax when I simply cannot shift side to side anymore trying to get comfy. The shop has been bananas lately and I've been keeping up my whole 8 hour shifts at almost 35w6days, baths every night, partly to help reduce my swollen feet and then lathering them in the peppermint foot lotion. I'm sure I'd be broke with how much product I go through if I didn't work there.

kiam032 · December 2015

I'm 38w and 5 days. I have my c-section scheduled on the 29th. I'm only impatient because I keep getting sick!! I'm staying by my sisters house, since I needed the support for going to be a single mom. She has three kids and I can't help but be sick. Especially, with this back and forth odd weather. I'm just hoping I'm not sick on delivery day.

As time gets nearer I'm getting extremely nervous because the road ahead of me is going to be a hard but rewarding one. I'm also a little sad. I'm going to miss my little baby girl in my belly! Everyone says I will get over that real quick once I get to hold her. I'll just miss her kicks and having the blessing to take her everywhere with me

babybluu · December 2015

After reading a post on d15 board I have to say I agree with someone when they said it doesn't actually feel like a baby is gonna come. It feels like a joke lol. Like there's really no baby. I mean I'm super uncomfortable and I can feel the baby moving but to think of her actually being born is super weird.

Yeah. It's really hard to imagine that there is an actual human being inside of me, who within a couple weeks time will be in the world experiencing her own thoughts and feelings and reality. Like, a real person! So crazy to think about.
