[blueeyedtabbycat]

So how are all you August mommies feeling these days???   I have so many compaints I could probably write a book, lol:) Lets see.......lack of sleep!! OMG I swear I get up every 2-3 hours just to go to the bathroom!! It is hard work to roll out of bed!! I look like im going to deliver any day now and if another person comes up to me and says I look like im going to POP...well Im going to pop them!! I have been peeing my pants latety, every time I sneeze or cough!! Heart burn is the worst!! I get it from anything now days, even water!! And I feel like my heating pad is attached permenitly to my back!! I have a pinched muscle or something in the middle right side of my back that hurts so bad!! I got a massage last week and that didnt help:( Heating pad works fine as long as im on it........ Dalton is out of room, although I dont see how when my stomach looks as big as a watermelon, lol. He has found a very comfortable spot right under my ribs on my right side!! I have tryed to dislodge him to no avail!! August cant come quick enough!!!
Maybe im just getting too old for this:( My oldest is 7 and my youngest is 4.........It took so long this time around. And as far as all the complaints go......well thats all they are. I cant wait to meat my little man and hold him in my arms.
How is everyone eles doing?? If you need to vent feel free to, lol:)

Oh the hot flushes are terrible! I feel as though i am always either ripping my clothes off from the heat of freezing my bum off (Its winter here). It really is barely tolerable, the sudden oncome and the intensity..i thought i was ill but i had one infront of my doctor today and he just laughed shrugged and said "pregnancy" like that helps.

[chitten]

Im 28+1 and have a list of complaints as long as my arm............


SPD - The pain is incredible and getting worse by the day - i take painkillers which knock me out, wear a body band which makes me shuffle instread of walk and increases the need to pee tenfold

Sleepless nights - Made even worse by the above

Hot Flushes - My make up seems to melt off my face and i have to sleep with the window open and a thin blanket everyday - I Live in SCOTLAND!!

Breathlessness

Up 2/3/4/5/6 times a night to pee.

Heartburn

Unexplained bleeding (at 25 weeks 4 days in hospital - by far the worst but has since gone thank god)

Not fitting into clothes, limp hair, leaky breasts..... the list goes on and on.

83 days to go!

Roll on August! Hahahaha

[sameerab]

yea thats probably it for me too the terrible heartburn..and just the overall anticipation of the when is this all going to come to an end im ready for it to be august now!!

[lea87]

hi all, im 28.5 weeks and with my third but do i sympathise with you all heart burn constipation and sleepless nights, august aint coming quick enough, can any of u keep body temperature at one level im sick of being hot or cold no medium level for me.  I plan to go and see sex and the city this weekend if i can fit in a chair lol, i feel huge and the more people point it out the worse i feel lol !!

[GoingOnFiveKids]

Well then you girls are just going to hate me. I'm 30wk and 3 days and found out on friday that I'm being scheduled for a c/s on my 39th week which is Aug 1 and the only complaints I have are constant heartburn, a little trouble sleeping due to my belly carring high. I have mood swings but they dont bother me just everybody else. LOL. I just started experiencing slight nausea mid morning but nothing like I had in the first trimester. The only time my breasts hurt is when I get cold. No back pain yet. My baby is breech with her head under my right breast which is making it a little hard to breathe at times. this usually occurs after eating due to the fight for space between my stomach, baby, and lungs. I pee once in the night but dont suffer from peeing when I sneeze or cough. She can kick though, sometimes knocks the wind out of me because it's so strong. My main thing though is that I tend to fall asleep a lot. Not like a nap or anything, more like I keep nodding off if I slow down for more than five minutes. Especially in the car. My husband is driving and talking and two minutes later I'm knocking out. It's a little embarrassing. I just resently fell asleep watching Indiana Jones at the movies and my hubby had to elbow me cuz he said i was snoring LOL. Today I plan to see SEX and The City--I hope I dont fall asleep!    

[LosingMyMindInGA]

LOL.  I'm almost 31 weeks.  Wow, where to start.  I don't think it would be too bad if i didn't have an upper respiratory infection and could actually BREATH. My lack of sleep has stemmed from clogged sinuses and coughing attacks.....and peeing myself...oh please.  I've gone past the panty liners to full blown pads!!!!!  I have spider veins on my legs and stomach, vericose veins in a very unsightly area..places that shouldn't be are swollen...my stretch marks are getting stretch marks lol.  I think this pregnancy is making up for the lack of discomforts in all my others :)  

Blueeyedtabbycat:  Talking about feeling old?  I realized yesterday that when this kid graduates high school my oldest will be almost the age i am now.  She'll be 29.  Thats old enough to have gotten married and given me grandkids before my youngest even graduates!!!!!!!  

I think I've just been pregnant too many times, my body is wearing down.  I told my mom last night that there's no way this kid can "drop" before or during labor.  He's already so low in my pelvis that if he "drops" he's just gonna fall out.  I think my ligaments have lost their elasticity becuase my uterus is WAY low.  I constantly feel kicks inside my pubic bone and hip bones.  I think that's the only reason I haven't pushed our further in front becuase hes so low. Some days i feel like if i stand up he's just gonna fall out.

At this point, as much as i enjoy being pregnant, i'm getting anxious and ready for it to be over.  I've started getting jealous of everyone who's due before me LOL Come 37 weeks it's gonna be walk, sex, walk, sex, walk, sex LOL

I have all the common complaints too. Heartburn that never goes away (i was given free antiacids at my midwife appointment last week and they are my new bestfriends), totally agree about the heatpack that is permanantly attached to my back. I look so pretentious when i walk because im so tall i am only just noticabley pregant and yet i hold my lower back with every step i take. Im glad you said that about the peeing when you sneeze or cough, i knew it was normal but still... This last week i have had a really itchy belly then when i scratch it it hurts sooooo much. I think im going through another stretching stage. My sleep has got so bad lately that i swear i literally woke up at 5am this morning because a mouse, yes a mouse, was making noises. I ended up waking up poor simon to attend to it after an hour of trying to ignore it.
I dont have any stretch marks yet but by the feeling of my body at the moment there-a-comin.

I am so over it too!!! I'm 27 weeks and I cant believe I still have another 13 weeks to go! Does anyone feel like they are constantly out of breath!!??? Its driving me crazy. I have two horses so when I go out to feed them doing simple things like picking up bundles of hay and moving them around or mixing up their feeds makes me so out of breath I have to stop and sit down for a while. I feel like my lungs are totally squashed. But for some reason its only in the morning. When I'm back there in the afternoon to feed its not as bad. Maybe my body just takes a while to adjust after sleeping (or trying to) all night. And thats another thing - I cant sleep at night due to the pain in my hips. Oh yeah - I'm really looking forward to getting to 37 weeks and being really big! AAARRGH!

[mrs5077]

OMG!!!! I wish August would just get here already....I don't want to bore everyone with my complaints, but just know you are not alone....I wish I had the loose BM, I am here dealing with constipation....I eat fiber 1 cereal, take stool softners (per dr.) and drink lots of water and nothing seems to work.....I can't sleep at night, I get bad leg cramps and I am just miserable throughout the day....I am 27.4wks and will have a scheduled c/s at 37wks.....somebody, PLEASE tell me it's August.....Uggghhhhh!!!!

[blueeyedtabbycat]

I know!! I feel for you:) I may olny be carring one baby, but this being my 3rd I feel as though the doctors made a mistake and there are two of them in there!! And yes I know what your going through with the loose BM. I have it every morning and at least 5 more times a day!! I have water with me every where I go cause im so afraid of being dehidrated(sp?)
Ahh the joys of motherhood:) I dont think any man could ever do our job!!

P.S.
2 weeks and counting!! YAH!! I hope it goes by quick!!

[Brown Eyed Gurl]
