go to the salon and have your feet done I did. everyone I was around would rub my belly and it got old so I went to the salon and it took the belly rub off my mind cause someone was rubbing my feet lol
I know what you mean. I went stir crazy when I was pregnant. I was in my bed a lot and sick and days went sooo slow. I took up knitting, read a ton more, watched movies and lived on medhelp. Now I look back and wonder where the last 11 months has gone.
I am making a baby blanket, cleaning house trying to do everything to pass the time. Luckily the holidays will be here soon to keep us busy :). I'm 26 weeks pregnant
Im in my last weeks of pregnancy and its my third i know how you are feeling. Being its Your first, go out and do things you wont be able to do as often once baby arrives. Girls weekends or just watching a long movie interruption free. Find something you like to do and focus on that for a while. This pregnancy has gone by so slowly but now bc of some complications they are talking abouymt inducing me as early as thanksgiving weekend. Now im looking back like where the he ll did time go?! Lol
You will its a great thing to have someone who is there for you and a family that is supportive.... But sometimes I have the urge to bite the next person who reaches for my beely or says "You are carrying so small, it must be nice" (Which I am, but still). I need a weekend getaway.
don't feel bad. your just getting sick of it. That doesn't mean you don't appreciate it. It doesn't mean that you aren't excited, but you are still YOU, not just a pregnant woman.
When I had my daughter I didn't have family really... My ex husband wasn't around much, as he has lots of problems. I was pretty much alone.
This time around I'm really looking forward to having a partner along side of me. I really hope his family is excited too. I never had that before, so it's kinda a dream. I just hope I can stop being crabby long enough to realize it!
Thaks ladies,
Don't get me wrong, I'm happy to be pregnant especially beause I went through so much to ensure that this baby is healthy. Its just that..... I'm kind of babied out.... This is my husband first and she will be my in laws forst grandchild (and the girl they always wanted). So I am like the center of attention and people want to touch me and rub my belly ; and I don't really want anybody touching me. I'm tired of talking about being pregnant and baby registries and all that jazz. I feel really bad because I think I should be more excited about the baby.
You should definately do something for YOURSELF!
I myself, love shopping... but as you arleady stated clothes are out of the question... Go for accessories, jewelry, bags, makeup ect... My nail polish bag has definately enlarged since being pregnant. I'm no longer interersted in the new seasons clothes.
Try something around the house. Could you work on any home improvement projects?
I have been reading a lot.
unfortunately, the last 6 weeks of pregnancy are the slowest! you can't sleep & are just uncomfortable. Everytime you get comfortable, you have to get up to pee.
No not selfish at all.... Try and go for a spa day or something.... Just find something that you like doing to keep busy.... I find it hard to do things for myself... For ex I would love to go shopping but I can't cause I'm preg and too fat a ss to buy anything for myself...I can't really do anykind of fitness activities cause my back is screwed from pregnancy lol no matter what I do it always goes back to the preg and baby cause there is not much eles I can do....
that's not selfish at all. when I was pregnant with both of my boys I had to find something to do so I did and I did it for me so I could relax and have fun at the same time.
I thought someone was messing with the calenders in my house...lol.... this is my first so i am extra anxious and nervous. I did all the screenings and so far everything looks good, i go for my 3D U/S on Tuesday. I just want to focus on a non-baby activity. Is that selfish???
The more uncomfortable you get the slower it goes. I swear someone is messing with the clocks!
Find a hoobie that is for the baby.... Like make a blanket or pregnancy scrap book.... I know now it feels so far away but by time you have the baby it will feel like time has flown by.... I. Know it's hard to wait.... I'm on my third and I feel the same as you
