Anyone else feel they will be pg forever?

[angel0123]

I have never been this pg before... 3 friends irl with edds after me have had their babies. Am I doomed to be pg and 80? I am so tired and uncomfortable. Obcessing about when I will go in to labour is getting old. Its just as bad as obcessing if you are pg or not when ttc.
I AM so done... I am getting my son to give the baby pep talks... "come out now baby and meet your big brother".
Thanks for listening to my vent... i'm sure alot of you can relate!

Me too! Although, I'm not to my EDD yet, this is the most pregnant I have ever been. My dd has been telling my belly "come out baby brother, come out"! So far, no response.

Yep, its getting tired here, too. Although I'm still 4 days from my due date, and I went a week over last time, so i shouldn't complain yet. But I still feel the need to.

I've just been so sick and housebound for the last week or two, too, that it just makes it that much worse. I feel like such a lump and my ds is so tired of our house. But then when I do have to go somewhere it feels like such an ordeal to haul myself and ds around in and out of the cold that its just as bad.

I guess its just annoying because for the last two months everyone's been telling me they're sure that I'm going to be early because I"m so big, and I guess unless I go in the next couple of days, they're wrong. I'm just trying not to get my hopes up, and prepare myself to say "no" when my dr asks if I want any kind of induction on Mon, because I'm sure he'll suggest something. I think since my due date was off by 3 weeks, I should wait until at least 41 weeks before I start messing around.

Well, I'm not due yet either - not till the 25th which is 13 more days (nope, I'm not counting! ), and I just keep trying to tell myself that I'm not really due until Feb 8th. It's not really working, but I keep trying!
I have no reason to be ready other than I want to meet baby tho - I've been so lucky - no major discomfort or anything like that. Just ready to hold my little bear!
Hang in there mama - it'll be over before you know it!

Yeah, my dd has been doing the same thing- although it's more like "hey, baby- either come out or stop making mommy so uncomfortable! " I just want my contractions to either kick in for "real" or stop teasing me... no lectures about how they ARE doing something, I know that, but it's getting frustrating. I was induced with dd so this is new for me.

Also, we have terrible weather predicted for the next four days and a long drive to the hosptial. So we're trying to encourage baby to either come out today, or to wait until Tuesday... and then if that doesn't work, then we want him/her to either come next week or hold on since my doc will be on vacation the following week... hmmm... nothing like trying to set conditions on nature

Is it totally sad that I'm only 36 weeks 2 days and I feel this way?

Everyone keeps saying, "Oh, one more month. It's going to go so fast!". I want to scream- "A month is a long time!!!! I want to be done NOW!". I mean I've been waiting for this for 9 months, it's time. I want my body back, I want to work out (and I mean lift weights and run- hard- none of this yoga stretching, deep breathing), I want to sleep on my stomach, I WANT TO HOLD MY BABY!

And don't even remind me that it could be up to 6 weeks from now. That will make me want to jump off a building.

Whew! Thanks for letting me vent here ladies. I had a crying mini-breakdown last night with DH.

Isn't it weird, or frustrating, how the last few weeks creep by?? I mean any other time during the pregnancy seems to go much faster, and then when that last month hits it's like everyday is equal to at least 2 or 3 days.

While I really want baby to stay put and pick her own birthday, I am starting to get very anxious to have labor out of the way and know my baby is here and healthy. The worrying is what drives me mad.:

[katie9143]

Im there with everyone, my due date was monday and while i really didnt expect to have the baby by then, im more then ready for her to make a move! And....i dont really think i have even been having any indications that the end is in sight. Im a ftm so i dont really know what contractions feel like - i definitely have tightening sensations but they normally are completely painless, unless i have been walking a while or im walking up steep stairs when it happens. So that must be a bh contrx?? Anyway - atleast if i had some show or some reg contrx i would think that maybe it might happen soon... I am supposed to be making an acupuncture appt for next weds, then i will be 41w2d and my mw thinks that is a good time to see if someone else can lend a helping hand - or pin/needle i guess. We shall see.

The wait is so hard! I was 11 days late with DD. I thought I had prepped myself to be late again. Nope! Here I am 5 days to my due date and feeling like I will most likely be pregnant forever. I was in tears last night to my DH. The pressure, the prodromal labor that never seems to pick up or die down, the back aches, I am so ready to be done! DD is being a total bear, there is a snowstorm coming, I am just grumpy and annoyed and DONE being pregnant!

[Shazer]

I'm still enjoying the pregnancy in that I'm not too uncomfortable. But I feel so blah and depressed otherwise. I'm usually an active person and I can't do anything these days except sit (for short periods) and wait for the baby to be born. I can clean the house, but all of the stuff I usually do is impossible right now such as painting, redecorating, gardening, etc. My whole kitchen is in disrepair and some new cabinets we ordered are all messed up so everything will be pushed back at least another week. DH always works and he's tired when he gets home. Lastly, I can't drive anywhere easily because the baby always twists and turns and compresses my veins. So I'm stuck at home, unable to do much of anything, and I'm bored out of my mind. :

[RoadWorkAhead]

Yes I do! This child put me through a PTL scare at 23 w 5d, again several times after that, antoher major one at the end of 34/35 weeks, and now here I sit at 38w4d with no signs she's coming.....Other than the pain, but that never stops. I'm so ready to get done with this part and move on to the next part, but I keep reminding myself that its 24 days max (MW can only deliver to 42 weeks at home). Oh well, off to organize DS's bedroom and dye stuff for the new babe to keep my mind off of it!

[blissfish]

I will be pregnant forever.

OMG, I am sooooooooo crabbbyyyyyyy! I'm not even overdue!!! My gf who was pg at the same time, however, had her baby on Saturday. I think that's why I'm so horrendously impatient today.

[stormgirl]

I, too, will be pregnant forever.

Til the end of time.

Which better come tonight or tomorrow.
