I just want to vent....

[eachatelain]

OMG. I am so tired of being pregnant. The last week has been a rollercoaster....I am so emotional I can't help myself. I randomly cry, laugh, and get angry for no apparent reason, and then I feel bad because my poor DH has to put up with my ****. I'm swollen all over, not to mention I feel like a blimp (I've gained 40lbs...I am 142 vs my pre-pregnancy ~100lbs), and have acid reflux something horrible. The past 3 days I have had contractions on and off...the past 2 days they have slowly been progressing. But they'll get to about 12min apart and fairly strong, last for about 1.5 hrs and then POOF. No more contractions for a little while. I have had diarrhea since yesterday morning and don't think I can possibly have anything left inside of me....UGHHHH. I hope this ends soon. I will be 39 weeks Tuesday, and have an appointment at 330 that day. I'm hoping to find out that these contractions have at least helped me make some progress down there... I have been 1cm and thick for a couple of wks now.. I looked up some info online about checking your own dilation, but I honestly am too clueless to know what I'm feeling. Although, I did feel the baby's head, I'm positive of that, and that was pretty awesome! Made me more excited to meet him....


Sorry. :/ I got carried away. But I needed to vent...I feel like I've vented to DH so many times that I can't possibly have anything new to say, and he's probably getting tired of hearing me complain.


Any of you other ladies that are still carrying feeling the same way?

I feel the same way, so ready to have this baby, and be done with this pregnancy.  I am so cranky and miserable, i cant even bend over to put my d a m n socks on, i have to call my son to come and do it for me.  I am 38w2d, at last appt on friday i was 2cm with a HI and FIRM cervix, WTH, the words i did not want to hear. Dr thinks i will make it to 40weeks (wanted to cry when iheard that)  She said she would not make me wait a week to induce me, knowing my luck, everyone will be having babies and i mite end up waiting a week sighsssssssssss.  I guess i would feel ok if i was having contractions, but im only having painless BH's and some twinges in my pelvic area, i do have menstrual like cramps sometimes, mainly at night.

Not to add, my next appt is not until the 14th, 4 days b4 my due date bcuz she is overbooked with appts on the 10th and 11th, unless i c antother DR.  Heck, i mite as well not go to no more appts until 40 weeks.

12 days seems like a long time especially when im not having no contractions

Feels good to vent.

im only 36 weeks 4 days but i am so beyond ready...with this pregnancy and last pregnancy now being a whole year, no one should suffer that long!!!!!!! they say he is absolutely healthy and can come any time...ive been having very mild with a random little stronger contractions for the last 3 days but with no pattern, no rhythm, nothing and im getting tired of it!!!!! my MIL, which is basically the only person were waiting on to be here when he arrives will be coming in tonight THANK YOU LORD, so im hoping stuff happens like NOW!!!!!! my husband keeps getting up to my belly and saying stuff like, look at all the goodies we have for you Bryce, dont you just want to come out and play? Look at your swing baby, its waiting for you...but my ob is a complete and total B*IA*TCH and wouldnt check me on Friday, i actually got into an argument with her...shes making do another 24 hour urine collect...basically for the hell of it........GGGGRRRRRRRR, so as far as last week, i was 1cm and she (my other dr) could feel his head right there, he is SUPER low, like could probably push him out if i was 10cm.....but im not, im 1, maybe more, dont know because of my stupid ob!!!!!!! *sigh* man it feels great to vent, thanks for starting this post!!!!!

i hope we are all holding our little miracles by the end of the week!!!!!!

My baby seems to bunch himself up on my right side, too...IDK why he likes it so much over there but he's ALLLWAYYSSS over there.

But I know that once I see my son's beautiful face this will all have been worth it...I just can't wait for that day to come!!

At about 3 AM today I woke up with some considerably strong contractions...they were coming about every 9 min and stayed that way for almost an hr, then started spacing out and disappeared! I was so disappointed.. I was hoping that today would be the day... But probably won't be.

39 weeks 1 day here...i just keep telling myself that soon we will have what we have been waiting so long for, and we will forget all about the heartburn, swelling, and aches and pains!  They will seem like a distant memory.  Very soon!

I'm currently at 39 weeks, 5 days and I feel like I'm ready to pop any second! I keep crying to my DH because I am tired of feeling fat and having backaches and always wanting to sleep. So, I feel the same way sweetie! Just hang in there, it won't be too much longer! :)

I'm 39 weeks tomorrow... I haven't had any contractions yet, my cervex is still "high and tight," and I have been trying to indcue myself natrually for about a week... with no results.  So I am with you in the hopless boat... I just feel like I'm going to be pregnant for the rest of my life!  I'm so anxous to be done and meet my son that I can't stand it any more!  So I know what you're going through!!!  I just wanted to be done and go back to my orignal self.  And I hate this feeling... But I also have been having terrible back pain that pretty much radiates down my right side of my body which is due to my siatic never and where the baby is sitting(all on my right side) not to mention I'm pretty sure that his legs are up around my right side of my rib cage.  *sigh* So I understand... but there is really NOTHING we can do until our babies are ready to come out.  Even my doctor has told me that... if something was happening he would induce me... but being that nothing has changed... he can't do anything... :(

Oh and my DH is out at a batchler(sp) party tonight... so I'm home alone... and all I want is for him to be with me... to hold me... sorry I know I sound emontional, but that's how I am too... and like you he's been taking the brunt of my emotions, which I feel bad, but what can I do?  By the way my next apt is Wen. at 845am... so maybe something will have happend by then... I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you as well as myself.  We are getting down there... hang in there...
