Just venting...seriously needed =-)

Hey ladies just wondering who out there is just about done being pregnant??? I hate to be the big downer on here but I just need to get these feeligns out ya know. I really do love being pregnant and the whole idea of growing a life inside me and the miracle of it all yadda yadda but tonight after a huge surge of hormones (obviously) I am so DONE!! I am tired of being away from my husband even though my parents have been great, I tired of not having the energy for my two year old although I've no idea what makes me think I will have energy for him after the twins are born, I am tired of the heartburn, the body parts falling asleep, my overall HUGE feeling all the time, my bladder is a punching bag and so is my rib cage, peeing all the time, not being able to sleep, the acne flareups ect..,
I feel so guilty when I get these hormone surges because if you would of asked me in the midst of either of my miscarriages about having my next pregnancy be this way I would of said yes in a heartbeat. And I know I am just being selfish right now but I am so ready to have my body back, I think I am most ready to start the next phase - I want to see what they will look like, want to take them home and be a real family again at my own house. So maybe it isn't the pregnancy I am done with so much just this phase of it, I feel stuck...I definately do now want them to be born now as it is still too early yet all my preparations for them are done and waiting and the days seem to be getting longer all of the sudden. And all there is to do now is WAIT - ugghhh. Wow listen to me so this is what a sleep deprived hormone driven twin pregnancy sounds like - YIKES. Thanks for listening ladies and feel free to jump right in my self pity pool the water is warm LOL. Oh yeah I did my belly cast the other day and it worked alot better than I thought it would, now I just need to think of how to decorate it. I won't be able to get pictures up until I go home next but they will be up before christmas for sure and I try to get some in each phase of decoration. My sister had a blast with it as she took the opportunity while we were waiting for it to dry on me to dress me up in her daughters dress-up jewelry and take pictures of me - maybe I will be able to get a hold of some of those too!!
Later...

I know how you feel. Being on bedrest most of the pregnancy has taken a toll on the whole family as well as all the extra dr appts. My body hurts all the time... I can't sleep... don't even get me started on heartburn...lol... but then I go into my closet where all the baby clothes are hanging and just tell m self soon... I still have a few things to get,but for the most part I am ready.... Jan can't get here soon enough for me!!!

Not too long to go now! I don't think any of us really know how you are feeling as I am sure that twin pregnancies are far more taxing than singular.

But on the up-side, at least you should go into labour early!

hey! You're pretty normal I reckon.  I am looking forward to baby  but I really don't like being pregnant and can't wait for the pregnancy to be over.

I am kind of in the same boat.  I have massive heartburn and acid reflux allllllll the time.  I think that is the main thing I don't like about pregnancy.  I also have trouble sleeping, I wake up every hour and then have to pee.  I constantly feel tired.  DH has been very supportive, but I can tell it's wearing him out too.  Last night he got home from work at 645 after working 11 hours and I wanted Chick-fil-A, so he was a trooper and we went there.  But then we went to Home Depot and got some paint for the nursery so that kind of stuff excites him.  I too am getting anxious to see what my little one looks like.  I started having dreams, which she looks the same in every dream so I don't know what that means.  Last night I dreamt that Paris Hilton delivered my baby! I guess that's another pregnancy symptom that is sometimes a little off - dreaming.  I'm not tired of being pregnant, just wishing that I had a very easy pregnancy.

Hang in there, u dont have much time left until u can c your babies..
Dont feel guilty about feeling feed up, i think most of us are "at least I am" the lack of energy, and the loss of controll over our own body is not easy to take. But ur almost there, things will get better soon.
