I'm still very pg. Spent a restless night trying to sleep through back pain and cramps. Trying to remind myself that my body is doing some very good work and its not for nothing. Man I'm sore though. And cranky and emotional. I wish there was someone here who could help me with DS so I can rest. I wanted to tell DP not to go to work today but felt guilty.
I asked my sister to come and sit with DS for a few hours so I didn't have to call DP home from work (and cost us $120 in lost pay) but she was too busy with post-moving-house-cleaning. Thing is I msged her at like 4.30 in the morning.... it's not like she was cleaning right then. But no, I don't seem to rank highly on her list of things worth her time.
I ended up cracking it at her and told her I'd find someone else to watch DS when I go into labour as she's proven how disinterested and unreliable she is when I need help. I got no response whatsoever so I figure she's fine with not being a part of our lives. Awesome huh?
Anyway I'm stll f****** pregnant. Still putting up with OBs who are acting like I'm a liability and going to die in labour (if I ever go into labour!) and I'm about ready to bust out the flamethrower.... lol. I'm so tired. So sore. The pain is incredible. Compared to being 41 weeks with DS, this is brutal. It hurts so much more this time and I don't know if it's because of the stress I'm under or what.
So here are my strategies.
Try not to freak out and get all stressed. (very very difficult and not going well)
guided meditation to help me sleep.... actually not going too badly.
bubble baths
hot showers
heat packs and hot water bottles
keeping the house organized without overdoing it (because mess = stress)
bouncing on my birth ball
spending time on my hands and knees
doing a few manoeuvres my student MW taught me for optimal positioning
cuddles with my 2 favourite men, big and little.
walking as much as I'm able without exhausting myself too much
eating spicy foods when the opportunity presents itself.
and avoiding people like the plague. especially those who keep asking what the hold up is and why I'm still pregnant. Like I said. Flamethrower time.
anything else I could be doing? Don't say sex. ughhhhhh.
feeling psyched tonight! still regular but not hurty just pressure and crampiness. seems promising
