Really getting grrrrr..

Hello fellow 3rdies,
Im needing a whinge, hope you dont mind. :wall: And no one will understand more.
I cant believe how tired I am, I need so much sleep I don’t seem to get anything done. My girth is huge I cant even see or touch my feet without putting myself in a comprising position. I can barely walk 5 metres without needing a chair. My feet and my hands have swollen up so I cant wear my rings or even my comfy shoes. I feel like I’m carrying a hippo that likes to stomp around her space like a elephant. My left lung permanently has a foot imbedded into it and it hurts to breathe (maybe she thinks she's a starfish). I’ve gone from 54kg to 81 and feel every bit of it... And OMG What is she poking into my bladder to make me buckle in pain? A Big Pointy Head? If so I wish she would stop twisting in it. If I eat another mandarin I’m going to turn orange!... Not long now I keep telling her but then she goes and gets the hiccups and I’m rushing to the toilet again. There is simply no more room... I need to scratch my belly with a wire brush its so itchy... My boobs feel hot, and it is hot... Ok I think I should stop now or this post will be too long, sorry.


I remember the final weeks were unpleasant last time but geeesss... Thanks for listening I needed that whinge..... Do you feel the same?

Oh and I need a ham and cheese toasted sandwich.

I'm feeling much more uncomfortable this time around and man am I tired!

Running after an extremely energetic 18 month is totally exhausting. I feel so huge, a woman in the service station actually asked me I was having twins the other day! Can you believe that? Some people have no idea.....

I hear you both!!!! I have about 12 days to go and I am over it!!! My 3 year old now thinkis its fun to find some reason to make me walk upstairs 50,000 times a day and to run at me full speed and slam in to my belly.

I am also feeling very sore on my belly and getting pains about where I reckon my cervix is. I am hoping I am in pre-labour but its probably just cruel taunting by bub!!

Hope it helps that you are not alone :D

OMG - I still have 5 weeks to go and boy am I over it! I hate to whinge too much, but sometimes you just have to let it out, I completely understand! Feet are huge, haven't seen the under-side of my belly for months, can't put my socks on without taking a coffee-break halfway through, and that's if they fit cos my feet are so swollen they are actually pale (surprised I don't have stretch marks on my feet). Yes, the seemingly innocent jokes from random strangers regarding when you are due/carrying triplets etc are not nice, makes you want to throttle them if you weren't too puffed out from just parking the car! It will be over soon enough and we will all feel like supermodels :D

I hear you....I hear you....I hear you....I hear you....

I've got all the above symptoms too! And I can't tell you how many people have asked if I'm having twins!

I've got a 16 month old... who is teething his molars, just got over a viral infection, has just learnt how to chuck a tantrum...

And lets add to that mix:
- we sold our house - settle in 10 days... so everything has to be out & clean!
- we've just got access to our new home this weekend - so over the next 7 days we have to move our entire house! But DH is not sure if he can take time off work or not... we haven't hired a moving truck as we don't know if/when he can get time off... and his "best friends" are going to Sydney next weekend so can't help us move.
- DH ripped the entire kitchen out of the new house... and "best friends" are meant to be building the new one. That said.. they just started, not sure if it will be ready by the time we settle. So we may have no kitchen
- tomorrow morning I'm meeting up with my mother - for the first time in 8 years! Looking forward to that - NOT!!!!! And, she doesn't know I'm pregnant.
- I own a beauty salon, and my senior staff has been away for 4 weeks... and still has another week holiday. So I've been working in the salon - which has nearly killed me. I can barely reach the clients over my huge stomach!
- I've been trying to sell my salon - and been showing people through, providing info etc. Apparantly one of the contenders is going to give me an offer tomorrow (fingers crossed its a reasonable offer as I will take it and run!!!)
- I've been getting another sort of "morning sickness"... after brushing my teeth, I spit the paste out and my body decides to vomit... or in my case; dry reach because I have no food in my stomach in the morning.

- so I'm fat, tired, stressed, sore, anxious....

I'm sorry for my personal vent here. It's the first time I've let it all out...
I haven't had time to get into the belly buddies.... so I've not been chatting about how uncomfortable I feel.

I know some women love being pregnant & they "glow".... well that ain't me! I can't stand it. I go through hell for 16 weeks with morning sickness... a couple of okay months... then the final trimester is hell again. I'm over it!

Not long to go girls........ hang in there. You can see the light at the end of this 9 month tunnel!

i know exactly how you feel hun- it's horrible isn't it??? i can't believe i'm still sitting here, still pregnant, still tired, still uncomfortable. my back aches like hell!!!

i couldn't have put it better myself and i still have ages to go.. i'm not looking forward to the final weeks of my pg.. i'm already over it!!

Big :hug: to you all. I know how it feels!! I was the same and I'd go to the shops cos it was cool and then have people tell me not to have the baby there when they found out I was due.

Gracie, hope you don't have much longer... I hated the waiting even more after my EDD came and went, I got so paranoid..lol.

my list of complaints is so big that i won't even start.

but i will second you in your GRRRR.

Hello Ladies,

How bloody hot is it!!! I have a two year old running around like a maniac, I am due to go in for a c-section Monday next week and I have my last OB appt this afternoon and I feel like begging her to let me have it today (how sad is that). The upside to that is I finally get to lay on my back again.

Oooooooh, I am actually willing myself to go into early labour so I can get this over and done with, am I CRAZY...

Good luck to everyone.

xxoo

Well ladies, I think i have about 10 days to go but Im the opposite, I DONT want the bub to come out yet, well at least for another week or so....
I get my keys to our newly built house tomorrow, which we have been waiting 18 months for and it decides to be ready like right before bubs is born....
So this week will be packing and unpacking and Im freaking out that it wont be done in time for when the baby arrives, which we all know could come at any time!

My feet are sooo puffy too and dont fit my wedding rings on either.... that part sux.....
Hang in there girls.....

I agree, It is incredibly hot!

I wake up constantly through the nights in a pile of sweat! Its disgusting.
Ive even tried setting the air con on at 18, but for some bizzare reason i can't keep cool.

I got sent home from work today because i couldn't stop crying. Why was I crying i hear you ask?? I DONT KNOW! ha!
Ohh ladies, I'm only 33 weeks. I feel so jealous that you have all these weeks ahead of me!

hmm

Have you had that baby yet Gracie?

Today I’ve stretched beyond anything I can recognise. I’m HUGE! I have never been this Prg before, my first DD was a month prem yet weight was 3.54kgs this one must be hitting the 4.5kgs by now. Gees I hurt. Oh God I ache… It cant be much longer now..
Thankyou all for your stories it so nice not to be alone in this heat. I cant sit at the PC anymore I swell up too big and too fast so if I don’t get to log on again until after the birth, I would like to wish you all a happy easy relaxing birth (well we can dream). Good luck and I can’t wait to read your birth stories. HANG IN THERE 3RDIES.
Big Hugs K
