I feel huge, I'm sore, tired and cranky. I can't bend over to pick stuff up, dry my feet, put on socks. I feel like a whale when I roll over in bed, and I can't do the dishes without my belly getting in the way...
I'm so ready for this baby to come out!!! Anyone else feel the same?
I might have to try fresh pineapple and carrying loads of laundry :lol: Those old-wives tales work, right? :pray: I'm even prepared to try sex at this stage! :o
I have only recently gotten to that "over it" phase, prob cos i was still at work and didnt have time to dwell on it, whereas now im sitting round the house noticing every little thing!!!
So here is my rant!!!
Had to shave my legs the other night! What a mission!! I hate that it takes 10 little jumps to roll over in bed! DH laughs when he watches me put pants on! Im NEVER comfortable! My hips feels like and elephant is sitting on them at night when im trying to sleep. And i hate that i never feel satisfied after i pee!!! i never have that "ahhhh thats better" feeling anymore!! Just still feels like i have to pee more!
Time to come out now baby!!!!!!!!
Ooooh pick me!!
I'm exactly the same - my due date is today, but I've a feeling I'll be waking up in my own bed tomorrow :(
I can't say I'm overly uncomfortable - I just wanna meet my little one!
:
That is just the classic description of this stage of pg! I love it:rofl:
I have given up trying to shave my legs...as for my bikini line, well, I went to the pool looking a bit European shall we say :redface: I struggled to do it at 32wks, so there is no chance of doing it now. If only I had the time/money/desire to go get it waxed, it would be so much easier!
I have to say the worst thing is def the sleeping thing, oh and this stomach crampy/diarhoea-ish stuff I've had for the last couple of days.
Oooooohhh can I have a go.
I am sssooooooo uncomfortable had contractions last week = no baby....now I have no contractions and no baby. Pineapple DOESNT WORK; curry DOESNT WORK; sex HASNT WORKED and 3 times a day isnt going to even get contemplated HELLO PEOPLE :o cod liver oil isnt coming near me...as I crapped myself last time and have no desire to let anything in that is going to loosen anything!!!!!:protest: NO MORE OLD WIVES TALES
I AM SOOOOOO HOT having a 1st day of Autumn baby has been the worse thing EVER!!! I am a walking furnace, and sweat constantly, I dribble pee every 10 mins or so.
But I have so much pressure now that there is only one thing left, waters breaking and the end........1 week at the most till induction.
That was very theraputic thanks girls :clap:
hehe, this is a thread for me:lol:
I need every day until my EDD, cos I'm so disorganised this time round, but at the same time, I'm physically just over the whole thing. The pelvic pain, the belly that gets in the way, the lack of sleep (not that that's going to change),basically everything that's already been said. And the stupid hormones that are making me either Mad or Sad, all the time, I'm so unstable & unbalanced, but I can't seem to turn them off :doh:
Stupid thing is though, that once baby arrives, I'm going to have a good couple of weeks where I miss being pregnant...
haha Jelly, I forgot about the peeing thing! And it's only ever a tiny pee when you feel like you're busting and it's going to be the biggest pee ever :lol:
:
LOL! I remember that but issue was we were in such a cramped house with a tiny toilet I couldn't shut the door any more and DP would walk past and LAUGH at me because I always seemed to be in there. Oh the shame
Thats exactly what i mean!! it feels like a whole waterfall is waiting to come out and its only a little trickle! So frustrating!!:
I have to say though that i haven't really had much of the crazy hormone stuff. DH says that i've been pretty much like my normal self (just bigger:lol:) so none of the crying, laughing, raging craziness i expected. Go figure!
:lol: aww he shouldn't have laughed at you... mind you my DP has started calling me Marshmallow Legs because they're puffy and squishy!:
The DF's should get at least some of the discomfort we get, its so not fair! If we go for a walk, DH walks behind me, going "doo dee, doo dee" under his breath as I waddle - I told him he'd waddle too if he had a big grapefruit pressing down between his legs!:
:lol: so true!
My DP does at least give me a back rub at night :D Bless him.
Thats so funny I just logged on to post something very similar - and I'm still along way off.
Back aches, pee all the time, can't do anything and somehow even though my stomach is under my ribs this one still has to tripple in size.
How am I going to make it??????
Yeah baby under the ribs is the pits!
We manage, somehow :D By whingeing lots :lol:
Yeah DH does like to make fun of me at times, he laughs when i try to put pants on and makes loud explosion noises and gestures when he plays with my belly(apparently simulating labour):rolleyes:but he also calls me a tummy princess and rubs my back for me, so i forgive him :kissing:
:lol: He makes explosion noises? That is hilarious! I'm not telling my DP that, he might start doing it :D:
Hahaha this thread is so funny!! We're all experiencing the exact same things, oh the joys of this stage of pregnancy. LOL at the explosion noises!!
Yep, Im over it too. Totally and absolutely over it. I agree about the peeing but not being satistified and the hips and rolling over in bed. I swear I grunt all the time too. The mornings are the worse for me, I feel like my body is collapsing under the strain. And my vajayjay feels like its been kicked.
Come out little one!!
I'm still enjoying being pregnant for the most part, but I have to admit that the swollen ankles, waddling, big belly, breathlessness, reflux...sometimes really get to me.
I NEED a new pair or knee-high boots, but my ankles are too swollen to fit any - and the shop assistants all think it's because I'm overweight, so they look at me patronisingly and say "we don't have anything in your size." It takes me 10 minutes to roll over in bed. I take twice as long to walk anywhere, to the point that DH and I have to plan our shopping trips around places where I can sit down and rest. Eating dinner leaves me breathless and give me reflux, to the point of exhaustion.
No one talks to me about anything other than birth, breastfeeding, nappies, and how "big" or "small" I am. I have three degrees FFS, I can talk about other things!!!
And my DH is also making sound effects for impending birth. :rolleyes: He also thinks my boobs should be a national icon (they're certainly big enough).
But...I'm still loving being pregnant and am so looking forward to meeting my precious little man. No doubt at 40+weeks I won't be feeling so patient. :p
*Boom* *Squelch* *Crash* *Thump* *Bang*:
:lol: my DP is the same, too bad he's not allowed near them, owie!:
Today, i am getting close to being over it. i woke up again this morning all swollen and looking like the michelin man (got checked out yesterday, and blood pressure/urine/bub activity & heart beat all good). it has come down but it's stillnot comfortable or attractive.
I am trying to finish the curtains for bubs room and struggling to move around.
bub is getting lower (which is good) but more of my tops are not fittting or not long enough, and i don't like tummy hanging out, so my wardrobe is becoming more limited.
ok, that's enough.
i am still loving bub wiggles, and starting to wonder if i will miss them when bub is out in the world.
Kate - I definitely missed some of the aspects of being pregnant for a couple of weeks after I'd had DS - probably most particularly the wiggling that goes on. It was one of the most unexpected things, and almost a kind of grieving in a way. You spend so much time being focussed on pregancy, or thinking about what life will be like once bubs is here, so I reckon it's good if you can go into things kind of expecting to have some transitional emotions. It's one of the things that I wish I'd been told 1st time around.
...word....
I'm right there with you all, but I did also experience some mourning last time.
I love being reggers, but there are some things i could leave.
FYI sex only works if the cervix has already softened, it just helps to hurry up dialation a little bit.
Also not a fan of wives tailes here, but am trying to encourage this little cherub to make it's way down, as my bubs like to sit up nice and high.
what I have particularly enjoyed in the last week or so are the following observations that have been shared with me.
