I Want My Body Back!!  

post #1 of 15
Thread Starter 
I still have 5 more weeks *fingers crossed* and I can't take it much longer. After I get moved and settled I want this baby out. I want to sleep on my tummy again, eat without heart burn, have better control over my emotions, less back pain, sneeze without peeing myself, and not have a knee sticking out of my side for most of the day.

I want to run with DD and not get so worn out, I want to pick up heavy objects and move them or carry a laundry basket up and down the stairs without people fussing over me telling me that I shouldn't be carry the basket. I want to help us move instead of just dictate where it all goes. I am just not the type of person to sit around and do nothing. I hate not rough housing and just taking care of myself. I moved the sofa to vacuum and I have 10 people freaking out on me. But if these same people would do something when I asked them then I wouldn't be trying to do it on my own.

Like DH, I will ask him about 10 times to do something before he gets fed up hearing me ask him and then he gets all pissed off and does it. MIL she is just so damn lazy there is no getting her off her ass any way. She sees me cleaning and says "Honey I was going to get that." No you weren't you are just saying that cause you are feeling guilty that your pregnant daughter in law is doing it. And why is it that just because I am cleaning and cleaning things the way they should be cleaned, she says "Oh MY DIL is nesting." No I just hate living in dog hair up to my ears and want DD's cup to be clean before she drinks out of them.

Ok I feel like screaming. Anyone want to scream with me?

Now I am going to clean the house before FIL gets home and work on bringing some things up from the basement to go through them and get them ready to be moved.

One week in counting.


Sorry I had to get this out cause I was ok with being pregnant until the end part.

: Although I was SOOOOOO disappointed to learn (after ds was born) that sleeping on my tummy still wasn't an option as it squished my son's "feeding tubes" and decreased production!!

: OMG that is so disgustingly true!!!

I have 5 weeks too - part of me is in super organize/clean mode and part of me is gritting my teeth knowing that so much will just have to be re-cleaned before dd arrives!!

I finally got all my supplies for the birth though so I am getting excited that it will be soon!!!

I have brought up boxes from the basement to repack them into bigger boxes. Not one person in this house has offered to help me with them. How nice of everyone.

Isn't it amazing what a pregnant woman can still do. And people like to act like we are so fragile. I just can't wait until the 1st cause then we move out of here and I don't have to smell stinky dogs and 2nd deal with gross people. I can't wait!!!

I actually am so fragile this time around (sciatica, SPD, numbness in my legs) and it sucks like nothing else I've ever been through. I can barely move around the house and I am so sick of having to ask for help for the most basic things! I don't want to rush this kid out early or anything but it sure will be nice to be able to put on my underwear by myself again. :

Hey, venting feels good.

I would like to put on my shoes with out getting out of breath. I would also like to see my hoo hoo again so I can take care of the proper grooming. Sorry TMI there. I just want to wear my old clothes too. I was going through my boxes and saw all my old clothes and missed them. Like my tinny underpants. I hate wearing giant underpants.

I have NO idea what is going on down there! I want to schedule a wax but I am worried that I might scare the waxing lady!

I got a gift certificate that is supposed to be for a pedicure, but I might have to forgo that and do the wax instead. It's so hard to decide which is scarier.

lol have DH do your feet and go and get the wax. That is what I would do. I mean I would rather feel better about that part then have my feet done. But a foot rub does sound good too.
post #12 of 15
It's so beyond a foot rub at this point. I am thinking more along the lines of a belt sander (I'm a barefoot kind of gal). But you are right, dh + hot wax + my yoni + NO!

I want my body back too.

It's 5:30am and I have been awake since 3:45am. I am having people over for a blessingway I don't feel like having tomorrow and I really need to sleep!

I woke up having to pee and now I am going back and forth between wanting to throw up and thinking I am hungry. It's the nausea I just can't sleep through. I threw up for the first 6 months and it looks to be coming back in the last 3 weeks.

Everything hurts. My hands are swollen enough that I can't make a fist and are half numb. My feel look like they are going to burst through with stretch marks to match the 60 or so that run from my yoni to my chest.

My inner thigh/groin kills when I am not sitting on a ball and has for months. Sleeping in a bed requires complete exhaustion and then some to ignore this pain.

Also, for some reason today both my ears are clogged and I have about 50% hearing in one ear. Whether or not this is related to anything pregnancy wise - I couldn't tell you.

My baby is getting so heavy and huge. I know I am cooking a 9+lbs-er in there - which is on par with our birth weights as babes. I am not "due" until March 7th and I had better not go over because I don't think I can take it much longer!

All I want to do is to be able to hand this baby off to hubby and walk to the other side of the room. But I still have my first ever labour and delivery to look forward to before that can happen!

Not as big a fan of pregnancy as I thought I was before becomming pregnant I will tell you. As far as this pregnancy goes I am done done done.

I use to say the same thing when I was pregnant with DD. But I also didn't have all the issues you are having. I feel like I am carrying a heavy baby too. I hate that everytime I sneeze I am holding my belly hoping not to pee myself.
