Please baby, come next week!!!

Well, I had my drs. appt. yesterday, 36w1d today.  Even though I offered a cash bribe, dr. refuses to schedule c-section until after 39th week. I kind of figured he wouldn't but had to try.  The pain in my back and pelvic area is overwhelming and by the late afternoon I can barely walk.  I have even used a heating pad between my legs to try to help. I honestly don't think I can last 3 more weeks.  He did say that if I go into labor on my own after 37 weeks, he won't stop it.  This could be very possible since I have already been on bedrest and had my labor stopped once.  

My mood swings and misery are getting out of control at this point.  If one more person asks me when I'm due, or I have to explain how far I am, or hear one more person tell me I've dropped then 10 minutes later someone else tell me that I haven't dropped, I swear, I'm going to go postal!!!  

Anyone else feel like you are going to explode????  No more questions please, just let me waddle, limp, and suffer in peace until this baby comes!!  Quit touching my belly, quit telling me how big, small, high, low, I look.  And for God sakes, quit asking me my due date because I can't bare to think about the fact that it may be 3 more weeks when I'm praying for 1 more!!!

Please, tell me I'm not the only miserable (you know what) out here!!  I mean, I can't wait to see baby, nursery is done and beautiful, and I know I will be fine once the baby is here!

Honey I am with you. And you are alot closer than I am. I have so much pressure and have been told I am not officially on bed rest, but I need to rest as much as possible, since I am at 32 weeks and 4 days. They said I need to keep her in until 34 weeks since I usually go no longer than 37. I can identify with you cause I feel like she going to crawl right out!! Hang in there and remember you are almost there!!

Hang in there hon. You can do it.  Jacob was born at 36wk6d and was a little skinny and had a hard time maintaining his temp.  

Keep him in there a little longer if you can!!  

You are almost there.  Hannah

awww honey - I feel your pain - literally - my hooha feels like it is tearing apart - and if I move a certain way, just sends pain everywhere - if I sit down to long, can't walk once I stand up for a minute or two - feel like I am walking like I'm 400 years old - and it feels like March of the Penguins when I do walk around - EVERYONE asks - how are you feeling - how much longer - you haven't popped yet?????  I miss being a person instead of a symptom - lol - heartburn all the time, leg cramps at night and don't even ask about rolling over in bed at night - owwie - I'm ready for this girl to be here but she sure doesn't seem to be in a hurry!  I'm thinking everyone is going before me at this point!

Ok you guys are funny.  Thank you for validating my feelings!  I know in my heart how beautiful pregnancy is, what a miracle it is and what a blessing it is.  But, after 4 months of being bedridden throwing up, moving into a few months of bearable, then back to bed rest and now the back, crotch, and don't forget the constant heartburn, I have had a hard time enjoying any of it.  Now,.....I'm just done.  I'm serving an eviction notice on little one next thursday!!

I promise I'm not laughing at you; I'm laughing with you!  Ahh, I feel so bad for you because I know how you feel and I'm only 24wks.  In the beginning pregnancy is such a beautiful and wonderful thing.  By the start of the 3rd trimester your bladder's always full, there's something in your ribs, your stretch marks tell a story, and your husband is so ugly you'd rather sleep on the couch then sleep next to him; by then the gift of pregnancy is just old.  Luckily you're only a heartbeat away and the end is vastly approaching!  I applaud you for being a trooper.  Hang in there your reward is right around the corner!

Montie, my dear....I feel that same way and I'm only 27.5 weeks. I am so DONE being pregnant already!!!! Baby Christopher is breech (doesn't matter to me though since I'm already c-section) so his darling little feet are kicking my very low hooha and it KILLs. On top of it I am sick and tired of giving myself two Lovenox shots a day. OVER IT.And I want my glass of wine, too and my big fat sushi roll :0)

I've started having some of what I think is sciatic nerve pain in my right buttock area and by the end of the day even getting off the sofa hurts.

I feel for you!!! And be happy you only have 3 weeks left. I've got 12.

I try to tell my husband, my brain does not wrap around anything other than the fact that I am pregnant and am ready to have this baby.  I've had a one track mind since finding out that I was pregnant and now with it coming so close, it's even worse.  It is all about when, how much longer, and what hurts now.

I read in one of your other posts that Brayden is practicing for football or soccer.  Mine is the same way.  Always moving and sticking feet in my ribs.  Sometimes, I feel things so low, it stops me dead in my tracks!!!

You are not alone! Although I am not due or even close or having the pains that you are having, I do know what it feels like! UGH!! You don't care about anything else other then having that baby! Go ahead and go Postal, you have something to blame it on =o) I hope you have a smooth delivery when it does come. If you are like me, you won't be focused on the pain at all, just getting him out!!! hehehe Good Luck Mommy!!
