I am so done with being pregnant!

[Lauren82]

**WARNING! CRANKY PREGNANT MAMA VENT AHEAD**

I've reached my breaking point. Every bone and muscle in my lower half aches. I can't eat because my poor stomach is smooshed and I get heartburn 24/7. I pee my pants if I laugh, cough or sneeze. How is there even any pee left to leak out when I go to the bathroom 50 times a day?

I've outgrown all of my maternity clothes. I am down to a single pair of shorts and one bra that fits comfortably. I cannot justify purchasing anything else at this point yet I feel like a stuffed sausage no matter what I wear.

My husband cannot say anything right. I feel guilty for snapping at him when I just wish that I could snuggle up with him and maybe even make love sometimes. But that's impossible too at this point since our anatomy and my soreness just doesn't allow it.

I have a ton of last minute cleaning and projects I'd like to get wrapped up but don't have the energy. After taking care of kids and what housework I can, I feel spent. It's frustrating.

Every single person I talk to gets on my nerves somehow. I have no patience left. If anyone else asks me if I've had the baby yet, I'm going to scream. Why is it that no one understands that a full term pregnancy should be 40 weeks? They all want me to have the baby NOW. :

I am just so ready to meet my baby. It seems like it's so close but time is standing still.

OKay.. I think I'm done. Anyone else?

Did you climb inside my brain and steal my post? I feel the same way. I just can't stand anyone. My toddler woke up super early this morning and after trying to put him back to sleep for an hour and actually succeeding he woke up for the day. I couldn't stop crying. I have several weeks to go and woke up this morning and just couldn't imagine how I am going to make it. I just want to run and hide but have tons of stuff to do. Ah well I guess it won't be that much longer now. I am really glad no one is asking if I have had the baby yet. I hope we both make it through these last weeks easily.

: I hear you, Lauren! I'm done, too!

I've been pregnant longer with #3 than either of the other two... DS was induced at 35w4d because of my medical issues, DD raced into the world at 37 weeks in a totally uncomplicated, spontaneous 3 hour labor. I'm 38 weeks + now, and I'm getting really impatient. I know that I'm still a ways away from the "official" 40wk due date, but I had myself convinced that I would have this baby early, like the others...

Plus, I'm hot, I have pitting edema in my feet and ankles, I've had heartburn for 2 solid weeks, I'm exhausted, really irritable, can't walk without waddling, can't lay down if I want to breathe, and all I want to do is have this baby so that I can to the next phase of things! DO you hear that, baby?!?!

[mamas2atti]

I'm with you ladies. Unfortunately, my children are suffering the worst.

My kids were up super early this morning too after I had a sleepless night. They show no signs of wanting to nap today either. :

I hear you with the hot thing! I sweat all the time and it makes me feel yucky. None of my babes have arrived early but my family is convinced that because this is my 3rd, I'm going to go into labor like NOW and just cough and the baby will come out. I constantly hear: "I just KNOW that you will have this baby early... mmhmm..."

[IntuitiveJamie]

I am angry and bitter and just plain miserable. How pleasant for everyone around me!

[AugustLia23]

I'm feeling it too. SPD is getting to me and I just don't even want to be a mamma some of these days. My kids have been pretty good though, bless them! My DP has been sick recently and I just have no sympathy to care for her...

I know it'll be over soon, but soon just doesn't seem to be coming soon enough!

[RachelS]

I am with all of you ladies!! My emotions are all over the place, my body hurts everywhere, and I am just so darn tired!

Hey AugustLia23 my DP hurt his arm the other day putting together our ds toddler bed. I feel so bad because I haven't given him any tlc about it... I just can't.... my WHOLE body hurts!

Hugs to everyone!

[EricaE]

I truly could have written your post.

I'm so short tempered and everyone is pissing me off. Friends call and ask how I'm feeling, and I want to scream at them.

My DS was born at 40 weeks. My dd was born at 38 weeks. Right now I'm 37 weeks, and I pray that I only have a week or so left. Please please please let me only have a week left.

[mighty-mama]

I'm with you...

I can't last another 4wks.. I've been having 5min contractions since WED... I drag my left leg when I walk, I can't sit, I can't lay down. Forget sleeping comfortably.. I can't physcially drink any more water, my one friend in particular who is also pregnant keeps texting me and asking how I"m doing.. I know she means well but I want to respond "leave me the f^*) alone"..

I do feel myself either dilating or effacing, but I'm getting bummed I don't see a mucous plug every time I pee..... AND DID I MENTION I HAVE 4 MORE WKS.........

I'm more uncomfortable w/ this pg, then I was w/ my last... And I was on bed-rest then........

[beemama]

I'm with you!

I don't feel like I can be mom aaaaaaaand be pregnant, one or the other. Dd & I have been seriously bumping heads.... poor dh is just along for my wild emotional ride. Yeeesh.

I'm not even going to get into physical complaints.

:

I'm sick of needing to eat CONSTANTLY. And I don't like having to be helped up from lying down to sitting up and sitting up to standing. I'm sick of carrying this dang belly around. I'm tired of not being able to sleep & yet being so tired I can't function. It's almost time for her to come out! I KEEP TELLING HER SHE NEEDS TO GET READY....NOW!!!

[stefka]

I'll join in, in the spirit of misery loving company. I am so grumpy and out of energy, I cannot believe that I'll actually survive another MONTH. And this is with what even I must admit is an "easy" pregnancy. By this time with DS, I had PUPPPS, was about to go on steroids, had already spent a night in the hospital, and was much more swollen and unable to sleep. BUT I didn't have a three year old to prevent me from just collapsing on the couch all the time.

to all of us. We can do this. (Like we have a choice at this point )

[sunshine's mama]

add me to the mix...

i just posted about GBS and whined a bit in the post....

i wish my first pregnancy was the one i have now..super rough and this one, my last, the one I breezed through and loved....

BABY OUT NOW (as long as you are ready and done cookin)

[AccidentaLactivist]

Oooooh, I need to join in!

I am one big, constant BH contraction.

I am in the bathroom so often overnight I've considered sleeping there.

I'm hungry all the time, but no food is especially appealing.

My 3.5 DS has enough energy to power the whole state, and can't understand why mommy can't keep up right now.

My DH is also tired, as he has been averaging 55-60 hours of work per week (trying to do overtime to earn baby $$$$).

And my MIL invited herself for an overnight visit!!!! Tonight!!! She's on her way as I type!

We all need lots of . At least we can come here--think of the mamas who don't have a DDC to vent with!

Wait, did I write this? What's crazy for me is I was having the most laid back, wonderful pregnancy, then BAM...I am DONE!!!!!: Dh broke down last night and says he wants his wife back! I look around at all I want to do and get soooo frustrated I don't have the physical energy...since when?! I finally got my journal and did some personal development and that helped (thanks to dh). Still, I don't want to be pregnant anymore and that alone makes me sad, I want to enjoy this!
