    getting tired and over it

    i am getting close to the end and starting to struggle. my hands are sore from carpal tunnel, my belly aches, got sciatica, have to strap my ginormous tummy to help bub to engage (not so comfy in the heat), sleep doesn't come easy even though i'm tired, rolling over or out of bed is a challenge, hardly any clothes still fit me.... you get the picture.

    i could have another month of this, please bub try not to make yourself too comfy in there, we want to meet you.

    I'm sorry things are so rough. It kinda scares me because I've never made it to term. Eeep.
    Massive s. I hope bubby comes soon and you get some relief.

    Charlotte, you will be fine because this time when bub arrives you won't have to worry about NICU or surgery or being apart from bub. The last few weeks with bub inside, although uncomfortable, are a breeze compared to dealing with a prem or sick baby.


    ( i almost put a disclaimer on my first post cos i know that i am fortunate to have my bub safely tucked up inside)

    I truly hope that you do not have another month to go in such discomfort. I can relate to your sleep issues and feelings of discomfort in bed.

    Ah hun. I remember the discomfort I had with DS and I didn't have half those added things!

    Hang in there. Not long...

    Oh Hun, I'm getting like this too - and I'm still working! (granted, tonight is my last shift, but still!)
    My work uniform doesn't fit me anymore, little miss moves around so much that the movements are painful, I can't even sit on the floor and play with DS without struggling badly to get up! I'm getting lots of pain in my stomach (only since Sunday though, they've started to get bad) and I just want it to be over..

    Believe me, I'm so grateful she's still baking away, and am thinking bout the belly buddies and friends who've had their babies early, but there's just times where I need to vent bout how horrid I feel (but still feel bad for venting)

    Its just that when I hear how uncomfortable the last weeks of pregnancy can be it scares me. I'm really looking forward to being all fat and uncomfortable, tho. I wish July would hurry up!! I love hearing what I've got to look forward to.
    DD always sat in the same position, head right next to my belly button. I've talked to mum's who've had a breech bub first and then an engaged bub second and how different it feels.
    I can't wait to hear your BA!! I'm so excited for you!!
