I'm just whining...

[timneh_mom]

It's only the 10th of February and why does it feel like everyone in the WORLD is going to have their baby before me? UGH!!! It doesn't help that my doctor pissed me off. I am having a lot of BH but no mucus or anything like that, my son is driving me insane (picture 2 year old screeching and screaming at everything!) and I don't want to talk to anyone! Earlier this week, we were thinking, for sure this weekend but it's unlikely that will happen, IMO...

I'm sorry, I'm just feeling REALLY sorry for myself right now, just pissed off at everything and I hate feeling this way.

I love coming to our DDC and hearing all the happy news about all the births, but, sometimes I just want to cry because it feels like my turn will never come...

I feel for you mama. 38 weeks tomorrow. With twins. THAT'S RIDICULOUS. I am so jealous of all the mamas who have had their babies while I just sit here getting fatter, crankier, and more uncomfortable :

[Jowchar]

I totally understand where you are coming from. I become a wreck toward the end of my pregnancies. Last time I convinced myself that I wasn't even having a baby.
I am doing my best this time to try to stay as occupied as possible so I don't think about it because when I do I become angry, frustrated, or even worse I start to cry.
I find it very hard to deal with the rollercoaster of emotions at the end of a pregnancy and I have an even more difficult time being around people who ask when you are going to have the baby- it drives me batty.
Just stay in there a little longer and be strong.
I keep thinking about what my midwife told me to help me out: "We haven't left one in yet!!"
I know it's a tough go, but we'll get there!

Hang in there Liz!

I was READY at 34 weeks with dd, and she went 42+, it was a looooong 8+ weeks of waiting for her. She was due 1/1 and was born 1/18... I swear the entire ddc I was with had their babies weeks before me (even though our last Janubaby was born 2/14!)

This babe was due last week (2/6) and dd is also a screeching 2 yr old who demands SO much all day, and dh just doesn't get it!

I'm done done done, yet this babe isn't ready, and I know it... so I just wake up and keep peeing 23402398 x a night and chasing the toddler all day...

Oh, I know how you're feeling. If it's any consolation, I think your mood might be a sign that labor is getting close. Everytime I got to that point of feeling so down and sorry for myself, labor was just around the corner. Hang in there! It won't be much longer till your holding your little one.

BIG
i feel the same way. it seems like this is just dragging on FOREVER!!! i had a really bad night of ctx the other night and for sure thought he would arrive sometime the next day...they went away when i got out of bed i've been having the sharp wrap around ones all afternoon and then they went away after dinner. the whole process just drives me nuts!

liz!

being pregnant with a toddler is a special experience. being hugely pregnant with one is nearly intolerable. i always said that one kid was plenty and part of the reason was that i couldn't envision another pregnancy whilst taking care of someone else. and yup, it's been about as i expected other than the guilt -- i feel like ds has had less babytime because i couldn't pick him up/baby wear/have patience for him the way i would if i weren't preggo.

my mom's here so this little one can COME OUT ANYTIME NOW!

[Neth Naneth]

My ds was born 1 day after is EDD. : My niece was born two weeks after her EDD.

Hang in there sweetie!

I feel your pain!! I am 40 weeks tomorrow and am miserable. It is so hard to have fun with a 2-year old when it's difficult to move. I'm sorry I really don't have any words of encouragement--I am just as frustrated. I haven't even had any signs of upcoming labor. I keep waiting for anything--mucous plug, backache, water breaking, NOTHING! I am not the most patient person so this is torture!

[pinksprklybarefoot]

I want to whine, too! I have been sooooooo crabby the last week or so. I sometimes would just like to lock myself in the bedroom and not come out until there is a baby in my arms. I am trying to think about it this way: it has to end soon. It's can't go one forever. Hang in there.

[MoonWillow]

Count me in Mama! I am SO miserable! I have a 2 year old too. And I'm worried about my own health at this point. I'm so overweight and it just feels like entirely too much to be supporting another human who is old enough and big enough to come out. I had tunnel vision last night that scared the crap out of me too. On top of it all, I am terrified of labor!
It's nice to know I'm not alone in my misery.

[p1gg1e]

Yep I'll join the club! All of the freaking above!!

I think all us over cookers need one

[Jude Rose]

I don't know if I'm allowed in here or not. : I feel so bad for all my DDC friends who are miserable.
Does it help you at all to know that my nipples feel like ground hamburger and my hemmoroids were enough to scare any sane person half to death (still dreading every BM, thank you) and I'm sleepy? And..and...
I know. It's not as bad as what you're going through. I'm just trying to commiserate with you.

All this extra time will pay off for you too, most likely. My boys' mouths are so tiny that their latch simply can't get any wider/better. And they each have 3 outfits they can fit into-preemie sized. We just wash all the time and hope they grow into the 0-3 month stuff SOON. You all are making nice strong full-size babies! Good job!

[DreamsInDigital]

I was so there too a few days ago. I couldn't bring myself to respond to the birth announcements because I was crying every time I saw a new one.
If it helps you any, I honestly believe one of the first signs of impending labor is being really pissed that you're still pregnant.
I hope your birth is awesome.

Awwwwwwwww Liz.. Ya know if it were not for my B/P, liver issues, I would still be hear waiting with you. I know just HOW hard it is too be one of thelast too deliver.. Happened too me, with my girls. I was always the LAST too deliver in a Group, and always had too be induced. My boys just did something too me,that had them come early. I think of you EVERY sinlg day, and wonder how you are fairing. I know how crazy it can be, the waiting and then seeing alot of us have our babies. NOT very easy..

Do you think your little guy willhave a hard time adjusting too the new baby? My pre schooler and toddler LOVE Luke too death, but I know they are struggling too adjust too the baby. We have way more tantrums then normal for our home, and alot more acting out *sigh*. We are still trying after 2 wks too work the kinks out with them, and Luke. Please know I am here for you sweetie.

Hopefully something gives very soon for you, and soon you will be holding that little bundle of joy in your arms
