Pregnant Forever....Venting lol

[BTS1022]

I so feel like im going to be pregnant forever lol. It seems like a never ending battle of....cramping, contractions, muscle aches, and constant peeing. I however didn't get up 1 time to use the bathroom or reposition myself lastnight, which was nice, but I still feel completely drained. I know Conner dropped more, because I feel it. I look smaller, and lower, and everytime I stand up it feels like my stomach is going to be ripped open, and my lower back is on fire.

I just feel like im going to be pregnant for the rest of my life. The doc was so sure that as soon as Conner dropped it would send me into active labor.....but not a damn thing lol. I had contractions yesturday and they just *poof* left after 3 hrs. I have been walking TONS, a couple miles a day, staying active on my feet, having lots and lots of really boring not so great sex lol, and nothing......nothing...nothing...nothing! Im starting to get really discouraged and frusterated.

It's so many emotions rolled up into one bit cunjumbled mess. Im soo anxious to see my little angel that it's driving me insane. I am nesting, but trying to avoid it at all costs.....The more I look at baby stuff, the more I feel like im doomed. If I try to take a bath, and relax.....all I do is cry because im so fed up with everything. I LOVE being pregnant, don't get me wrong....but as normal as this pregnancy has been...it has been my worse one. I was able to tolerate every symptom for everyday that it counted...and here I am my last pregnancy, and im not enjoying it at all. I really wanted to enjoy my last pregnancy, but it just didnt turn out that way.

I really hope and pray....that my day will come sooner than later. I honestly don't think I can take much more of this before I literally have an emotional and or mental breakdown. I have been diagnosed with Bipolar 1 and severe depression, and not having my meds is taking a toll on me........I just want this to be all done!

Gotcha!!

Well, I have NEVER been there so I have no real "useful" advice, but maybe Conner is getting ready!!??

I laughed out loud when you said you got up and felt like you stomach would fall off!!?? That's too funny! I think 37 weeks is considered full term (or is it 38) Anyway, you are sooo close!!

**sending safe labor dust!!**

and hugs. =)

Keep us posted!

Nope not over due yet, I will be 38 weeks on sept 30th. It's just taking it's toll on me emotionally, mentally and physically this time. All the other pregnancies were sooo easy, and this one UHG! Even though I don't have any complications with the actual pregnancy, I have had health complications myself. It just seems like even though this is my most normal pregnancy....It has been the hardest. I have never been over due with any of my babies....and im hoping this ISN'T the first lol.

I have been having minor contractions this morning, so im going to clean up the house and move around to see if I can get them to pick up a bit more. I know Conner has dropped A lot last night, I woke up this morning reaching for my belly because I felt like it was going to fall off my body lol.

Hopefully it will be soon, Id love a Sept baby, as my b-day was the 22nd.

[LauraB78]

You should PM Krissyy, she might have ideas? I know she was finally induced a little over 41 weeks, and was super anxious too.

At very least she could definitely empathize?? I am 24 weeks w/ my first and I am soo hoping I dont end up over due. It must be torturous!! Are you even over due yet? When is your due date? I cant remember...

((Hugs))

I know what you mean. Baby gets hiccups about 6 times aday. It can get annoying. hehe Oh the jason thing that would actually freak me out if i saw a baby dressed up as jason LOL.

[BTS1022]

lol...very true. Hubby is super excited to dress Conner up for halloween. Except he wan't to dress him up as a horror character known as Jason lol.

I so hope I dont go to 42 weeks lol....id go insane...I think I would call and beg my doc every day 3 times a day until he got so sick of me that he would induce me lol.

Uhg baby has the hiccups....whenever he gets the hiccups it makes me have to pee every 5 minutes lol.

[nutz19]

He'll be fine, so will you. Your more than likeily to be 37 weeks than 34. The doc's normally know what they're doing. At least you know your pregnant, imagine not knowing then you go to the loo and give birth LOL. It's the same over here they let you go to 42 weeks. I so hope i don't go over, bet your the same. As I've had a partcial water brake at 34 weeks, and he's been engaged for so long, every niggling pain i get i'm secretly hoping i'm going into labour. HEHE Just think they will definatly be here by halloween so, think of the cute pumpkin costume you could get that cost's to much, and he'll only wear it for an hour before throwing up on it. LOL.

[BTS1022]

My doc will let me go 2 weeks over due....so 42 weeks until he will induce. Which is something I like...but something I dont lol. I want my labor to come naturally to a degree, but Id like to help make it progress.

But we don't really know how far along I am...we are guessing im due on the 14th of October by the size of the baby on ultrasound. So hopefully I am 37 weeks and not like 34 weeks, because Id feel really bad if I had my baby that early.

[nutz19]

i said this morning that i have kackles. lol i really swollen the last few days. And i toteally know what you mean with the flip flops. hehe. At least it isn't long now.
in america how long will they let you go overdue before interveining?

[BTS1022]

I wish I could fit in my shower lol. My master bath has a seperate jaccuzzi bathtub with no shower nozzle, and then I have a seperate shower stall, which was created for extremely small people lol. Im small 4'9 so I fit length wise....but not width wise lol. I cant bend over, I can't put my own shoes on, so hubby has to put my shoes on if I dont just wear my slippers or flip flops. But I can't wear my flip flops now because my feet have gotten swollen...DH says I have Kankles lol.

I just tried the pineapple....and I have tried just about everything except black and blue cohosh, primrose oil, and castor oil. And nothing....lol. I finally gave up trying. I even had my friend who is a massage therapist do accupressure on me for a week straight....and all I got out of that was well a nice massage but no baby lmao.

Oh the joys of pregnancy! I don't mind it so much, I think it's just me being overly anxious to see my baby lol

[nutz19]

i think jovi does that too. Because everyone even my midwife thought he'd be early, so he's staying in there. I can't fit in my bath anymore lol. i have to have shower's grrrr i really want a bath. so i'm sat here with a bowl of strawberries, kiwi, banana, pineapple and a cuppa raspberry leaf tea. i'm gunna keep this up. well until jovi shows his cute little face.

[BTS1022]

lol, how can you guys be sooo cheerful? I used to be like that with the other pregnancies, but man oh man this one is wearing me down. I tried to take a bath to relax, but it's just not working lol. Im extra moody these past few days and I feel horrible for my other kids, but sometimes I can't help it. I just feel like blah lol.

Sometimes I sit and wonder......if Conner knows how badly I want him out, so he is sitting in his nice warm comfy womb laughing at me lol. I can totally see him doing that.

[nutz19]

This is my first too. i can't wait i'm so excited. cant waitg to meet him. My husabnd just bought a little santas outfit for christmas for him. Oh he's going to be so cute in it. yay. And halloween is coming up to, another outfit i think.

[newbiemami08]

aww i wonder if i'll be like u 2 ladies in a few weeks.. i have 10 weeks to go and i just cant wait for her to come out.. she's been verrry good to me and i've had a smooth one.  hoping labor will be the same! ;)  but yea at least you guys are still having sex with ur husbands!  mine wont!  lol he said she can hear us! lol he said its weird! but newhoo.. i am just so bored.. when u look at the baby stuff you do want them to come out so u can play with them ha!  this is my first so i'm so excited!

[nutz19]

Oh hunni, i feel for you i do. My sciatica is really playing up, i've slept for about 9 hours in the past 3 days, and i have to go for an emergency scan because my uterus is measuring 4 weeks bigger all of a sudden. Grrrrrr. I've been drinking raspberry leaf tes, eating pineapple, sex (although it's so not comfortable) the usual stuff, i think i remember you say you've done all that. The things we do ay? LOL. Just remember every second, minute, hour, day that goes past, it gets closer.

[BTS1022]

I am due Oct 14th-or somewhere around there lol. We are guessing by ultrasound because I was on depo and hubby had a vesectomy when I got pregnant lol. It just seems like im doing everything I can to get my body ready. I was in labor on the 22nd my b-day but baby wasn't engaged. I had labor pains for 3 days straight, and all of a sudden *poof* they were gone. Then Conner decides to drop....but since dropping, none of my labor pains have came back.

Im just ready for some real hard labor pains! I never in my life thought I would beg and plead with the big man upstairs to put me in the worse pain ever lol...but I do every night...and every morning I wake up...it's like UHG!

I know it wil happen eventually, and that im not going to be pregnant for the rest of my life...but it just seems like time has SLOWED DOWN since I hit the 36 week mark.

Hopefully my ticket is next lol

[nutz19]

Hunni, i know exactly how you feel.
I love being pregnant, but i just want him out. I've been fully engaged for 4 weeks, my brackston hicks are getting worse, i've been nesting. I've been so bored i've been baking lots of cakes (which my hubby loves at the moment hehe). I've had ALL the pre-labour sign's, but nothing's happening. I know women who were due after me and they've had theirs already. it's like the lottery, but i'm NEVER the winner. LOL.
Maybe you feel worse this time round because you know it's the last time, you'll feel it. Don't quote me on it, just a thought. Does that mean your due 13 Oct? Coz i'm due 12 Oct with a son aswell.
Well hugs and kisses sugar cakes.

[BTS1022]

Thank you! I know babies grow so darned fast! My 2 babies are now 2 and 4, and it was like yesturday that I just brought them home from the hospital. It wouldn't be so bad if we could just lay eggs lmao. Being pregnant just takes a toll on the body emotionally and physically...especially when you have done it 4 times lol.

I always thought the more babies you have, the easier each pregnancy would be....boy was I 100% wrong lol.

Im trying to enjoy these last few days...or weeks as much as possible, but everyday I find myself being so depressed with it. Id love to pick up my boys and tote them around on my back or shoulders, something I haven't been able to do for 8 1/2 months.

[CYW]

awww hunny...HUGZ..you need many of them...I am so sorry your little Conner is being such a little bugger...YES come out soon baby boy...You are driving your mommy insane...

I know the feeling..MY DS was overdue by a week AND I was induced...it ***** waiting..but yet I don't know sometimes I wish I were still pregnant because I'd get to start all over again and have my baby soo small...They grow up way too fast...Before you know it you're missing it! As hard as it is.. try and enjoy these last moments...He will make his way..in his own time:) Good luck girl!
