just can't take it anymore!!!!

[basset]

I never thought I'd say this but I can't do this for another day!!!! I can not get a good night's sleep. I am hot all the time! I am losing my memory!!!!!: I am due 6-6 and I have not had one sign of labor. I just want my body back now... I feel so bad whininning about this but I have to get this out. I have taken EPO, rrl tea and nothing. I had hopes that since today is a full moon that labor would start but it hasn't. I can't even fit into my most gigantic maternity clothes! I sit all day on the couch and wait because I am too tired to do anything like go walking. Please tell me I am not the only one who feels this way!?!?!?!?!

[GenomicsGirl]

Hugs. You sound so furstrated

[sally Z]

feel the same way
hang in there, we are nearly there

[Jilian]

I'm starting to feel that way. The end is such a test of patience. I alternate between being done with pregnancy and being nervous about labor. Today I'm on the "done with pregnancy" side.

[MeganW]

I just want to send lots of Hugs mama I'm right there with you.

I know exactly how you feel. I'm due June 10 and nothing's going on. To make it worse, I feel like I am three weeks overdue, b/c my first came at 36 weeks and very healthy. The waiting is so hard!

[dara00]

awww, hugs to you! if this was your first I would tell you how with my first I didn't have any signs until the day before I gave birth! but since you've had babies before...did you have any early signs with them? at what week were they born? good luck, relax as much as you can!

[dubfam]

I felt that way the last couple weeks with DS.

My M/W said that it was one of the ways you know that your body is getting ready to go into labor. All you can think is "Get this Baby out of me!!"

I am sorry, but you will be done soon. I know it is so uncomfortable at the end...I am not looking forward to November personally!

[jbobys]

im sorry! i know how you feel! ill be there again VERY soon!!!

Can you do anything special to treat yourself? Get a massage, maybe? Some massage therapists will come right to your house, and not necessarily for any extra money!

Take care, lady.

My first got here 1 day before the edd. The 2nd and 3rd were induced by nipple stim. because I couldn't take it anymore . I feel like such a wimp when I read how other mamas went almost 2 weeks after their edd. I am definately relaxing as I don't really get past the couch. I am read though!!! I just want to hold my new baby. There isn't a gift greater than a sweet new baby in your arms.:

I just sent dh out for some strawberrries. I am going to have an ice-cold smoothie. I am now considering a massage. My mw keeps urging me to do so and I am always making excuses. I could really use one!!!!!

[herbmama3-7]

I completely understand, I feel exactly the same, I am just glad to know I am not the only one. I feel like every time I post I am complaining, it is sooooo hard and I am soooooo ready to meet this little baby inside of me. Don't feel bad, know at leaste that there is another big pregger lady feeling the same as you.

[Meg_s]

Yes I have been feeling this way for like 4 weeks now (I'm in the may ddc) every night I go to bed thinking OMG how am I going to be able to take care of <my 20 month old> tomorrow?? : Come on babies!! Come out, we'll take good care of you!!

[magrat]

I so wanted to be one of those women who are fine going overdue, but I'm absolutely miserable from lack of sleep. I have really bad insomnia - last night I only slept for about 3 1/2 hours of interrupted sleep and the night before about 5. This is with tylenol PM as well. When I started crying this morning because my malt o meal was too salty I paged my midwife to get a prescription for sleeping pills, something I definitely didn't want to do. But better to take something now than have to get drugs in labor because I'm so exhausted. Last Tuesday I was 2cm and 70% effaced and I can't wait until my next appointment to see if I'm any farther.

[jbobys]

oh, sweetie! i hope you get some sleep! im loosing my mind, too...ive been averaging 4-5 hours of interupted sleep a night, too

what did she give you?

: My MW just said the SAME thing.... but maybe it was becuase i was in there and started my visit with her by sobbing about how I wanted to get this baby OUT!!!!!! I'm hot... my belly is heavy... I seel for 3-5 hours a night.... my head hurts and my Patience w/ DD is SEVERLY lacking!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm with you!

[Nora'sMommy]

Maybe we can pretend that pregnancy has stages just like labor. You're in "pregnancy transition" which means you're just about there!

[Shell_Ell]

Another one who's midwife said I will feel done when it's just about time. I'm creeping closer to that... trying to stay positive, but still disapointed when another night goes by without labor. I still have 12 days to go til my EDD but my body is giving me subtle hints that it's getting closer. It's driving me nuts not knowing, though. I pick the house up at night before bed, and I'm trying to keep up with things 'just in case'... the anticipation is the WORST.

Give me another week, I'll probably be feeling the same way as you are.
