Blargh!

[confustication]

I'm officially really tired of being pregnant, and feeling annoyed that I can't talk my body into going into labor already. Couple that with all the people asking why I haven't had the baby yet, and the people asking why I don't demand to be induced, and I'm getting cranky!

[MyZoeJane]

You have every right to be cranky! Crank away! I'm right there with you....

These last couple of weeks have been so draining. Why can't our bodies give us some natural elation in the last couple of weeks? Why do we have to feel like such crap? Don't we deserve a sort of "calm before the storm"?

Sheesh. Mother Nature dropped the ball on this one. :

Yes, ITA. I have gone into "hibernation" as I call it. I am not answering the phone or returning phone messages at this point. I even chastised my mother for her rude phone message.

I have good days when I'm ok with being patient, and days like today, where I feel like a failure. Of course, everyone wanting to know when the baby is coming doesn't help... seriously, if I could push a button and make it happen, I would have already.


Oh, and I'm getting SO flakey and forgetful, which is also driving me nuts because I feel like I'm failing at work. I can't stand not being up to par, and I know I'm just not all there right now.

urhg!! at first i was wondering why y'all were so b*tchy but now i understand. full term looking at another 4-5wks of this maybe??

actually, the worst is that i've been having BH for a week that have turned into super duper MILD cramping every once in a while.. but the BH keep building. my mother said that i wouldn't make it through the weekend. no pressure or anything..

[confustication]

I had tons of prodromal labor for weeks, but now it's mostly petered out, making me feel like I'm going absolutely NOWHERE.

I'm beginning to think hibernation sounds good.

[octobermoon]

i'm tired now too, i mean wiped out, i don't want to do much but it's boring just sitting around waiting. my feet hurt, i have a weird leg cramp, i have to pee ALL the time, i'm now having to roll over every 1/2 hour in bed instead of every hour because of side aches. some people are starting to annoy me asking if i had the baby. i'm really trying to keep a good attitude in this last stretch and i know discomfort is all a part of it for most of us but i will say i am ready to meet our baby!!

are you doing stuff to try to get things going? i'm doing pineapple, sex/orgasms, RRL tea, walking, eggplant, and today i am getting out the birth ball and bouncing away! trying to keep busy and up to let gravity work as well. after 40 weeks if baby is still comfy inside i'm doing acupuncture inductions to try and coax him out.

[Earth Momma]

DITTO - hell yeah - I turned off my phone today and thinking of recording a new message that says leave me alone - I'll call YOU when baby is a week or 2 old!!!!!

I'm convinced everyday that 'this is it' and "it" goes away!!!!!

[rebeccajm]

All I can offer is sympathy and lots of hugs! I'm not sure anything I can say will make you feel better.

[Auroara Bobcat]

Yep, I am so over this pregnancy thing. It is so cute and fun in the begining but now............not so much.
Tomarrow is my due date and I just can not believe that I am still pregnant. Yes I have contractions here and there and some are pretty strong but they never amount to anything.....it is so discouraging.
I have been doing some sex, nipple stimulation, pineapple, moving, rrl tea and now after reading octobermoon's post I am sitting here bouncing on my birth ball, but non of this is doing much for me at all.
I am bummed. All I want to do is crochet while I wait for the baby but I feel so lazy and it makes the days feel really long and slow.

Oh well, I am done ranting. PLease let me have this baby tonight. PLease, please, please.

[confustication]

I have an appt with the OB tomorrow morning, and I figure if I'm not in labor before then, they'll probably want to schedule an induction for next week. *sigh*

I was so hoping to avoid induction, but my fasting bloodsugars are living between 140 and 160....

My body? NOT so good at this pregnancy thing.

I was SO ready to have this boy come out. Now I'm just POed that I have a cold.

I've let DS watch TV ALL DAY! He's sick too... so he's not minding too much. He has said a few times today "When can we do something fun?" He wants to go to the mall for lunch and the play area.

My midwife actually suggested changing my outgoing message.

Today is DH's birthday. I really want to make him dinner nd do all that special stuff, but my energy, coupled with my back- I'm not up to it.
I'll see what the OB says in the morning then go from there.

Ha! I just made dinner for DS... canned corn and spaghetti o's! Hopefully the fresh juiced apple juice will help round out the nutritional balance of that meal!

I'm still holding on to the Golden Corral gift card... I so want to go up there right now and eat a butt-load of fried shrimp and chocolate cake!

[Lula's Mom]

Everybody laughs at me, but I love Golden Corral! It's really GOOD!
