My due date isn't until Monday but I am just so, so done being pregnant. I've had heartburn for 9 months straight. I'm on prescription meds but they barely touch it, and I am so, so sick of eating only the "safest" foods (which still give me heartburn) and sleeping on 8 pillows and spending all day belching. I just want to be able to eat food again. Is that so much to ask, being able to eat something tasty? I'd kill for a bagel, or some orange juice... I dream about pizzas.
My MIL is due to arrive in 10 days, and this baby has to come well before she does because I cannot take having her here in the first few days. I just can't. She's self-centered and obnoxious and ought to be on medication. I can't imagine now why I agreed to let her come at all.
On top of that my husband is starting a new job on Wednesday. So except for a day or two unpaid when I actually give birth, he has no time off. None. I hired a postpartum doula but if this baby doesn't show up before Wednesday I'll barely have time to use her. And I like her. A to more than my mother in law. Of course my DH has had the last week off between jobs (thought he was going to start sooner but the schedule changed)... couldn't the baby have come on Tuesday so he could be around?? But no.
Sex and walking and having my membranes swept has done nothing at all. I don't have one single sign of labor.
Oh and on top of all that? My cat broke his foot this week. So now it's going to be me taking care of a newborn, a 3-year-old, AND a cat with a cast on his foot for the next 4-8 weeks. And the cat is currently in a pain funk and I keep having to actually dig him out from under the couch or the bed to get him to eat, which is totally making my heartburn worse.
Anyhow. Feel free to post your own whine.

I still have 10 days until my due date, but I just started feeling uncomfortable this weekend. Crampiness, contractions that feel real and then go away, its very frustrating.
MW thinks I'll go in a matter of days and at this point I've been in constant prodromal for about 2-3 days.
