Anyone else tired of being pregnant?

sept04brideinMD · January 2009

I know I'm only at 29ish weeks - but I'm tired of being pregnant already. I don't know how the ladies who go all the way to 41 weeks, etc. make it without going crazy. My ribcage hurts soooo much, I'm not sleeping hardly at all - and peeing all the time. My back (sciatic nerve) is killing me - and my hips feel like they'll break. Oh, and I can't walk up the stairs without being winded. I feel like there is so much to do still before the baby comes - but I have NO energy at all to do any of it - and DH won't do it without my lead. Anyway - thanks for letting me vent, and please no flames...I know there are people who are further along than me...with far more problems, but I'm sooo tired today everything seems even worse than reality

i won't flame you. i was tired of being pregnant at 29ish weeks, and i still am. try to be as active and positive about it as you can, because as much as it sucks to hear this, it really is only going to get worse.

luckily it will be worth it, and no one ever stayed pregnant forever.

yep, I've felt like this since about 29w too. Although I'm running around after a 2yo too, so that HAS to have something to do with it.

HERE..... HERE... I'm really starting to be finished. My back hurts, my hips hurt... this is not fun anymore...

I only want him in there until full term and we can avoid NICU time... and then hopefully we can have a baby...

It's really not treating me too badly.

I mean, it's a bummer that no matter what clothes you try on in the store or put on at home you always look fat (in comparison to before, I mean), I constantly have to pee, I'm either not hungry at all or STARVING and all I always manage to get something on my belly, whether it be dish water or jelly or a tiny splash of water that comes out while I'm drinking.

But I look at the good things more than the bad. DH is really a gentleman--he holds doors for me (he did that before but more often now), he makes sure I don't fall on the ice. He helps me carry the laundry upstairs and gets things down from high places so I don't have to look like an idiot trying to climb on the counter.

Other people ask how I'm feeling (which is VERY annoying, but it's more conversation than I've had with these people in the past 2 years....), I get to pick restaurants where we eat because I can't eat chicken right now, I can complain about something or someone and people listen but aren't hurt by what I say. I have an excuse for not going to the gym, and, while I still do hold myself to certain standards, people don't expect me to go above and beyond to make them happy.

So overall I'm liking this pregnant thing. Sorry. It's not so bad.

I wouldn't say I'm tired of being pregnant - I love feeling the baby in there. I'm tired of being huge and uncomfortable.

I'm sick of being pregnant, but I actually feel pretty good! A little short of breath and overall uncomfortable, but nothing too bad.

Really, I'm just impatient and want to meet my little guy! I will be one happy mama if he pops out exactly at 37 weeks! (Wishful thinking, right?)

LAst PG I really was fine until almost 41 weeks, and my biggest issue at that point was the annoying people wanting me to make the baby come out. Now, I am in pain a lot, and the kid is always pushing on my ribs. Just a very different PG. Maybe this one will actually attempt to exit on it's own. Who knows.

I can't flame you for being tired of being pregnant. I hate being pregnant. I am so glad the end is in sight that I can't stand it!

I'm not pregnant now. But I just wanted to say, I was so miserable at 34 weeks on! I was ready to be done. Honestly I felt better after having a c-section, then I did when I walked in that hospital! I'll definitely do it all again though!
