Pregnancy Info HOME

I'm feeling like a bomb ready to go off. My poor husband - we never fight and I just unleashed this weekend and then I felt horrible and so I cried and then I was ok for a bit but now...I just can't seem to lift this funk. I want to yell at stupid drivers and everyone annoys me. :) I think it's because I'm so tired. Even coming to this site makes me crabby when it seems like I've read all the posts and there's nothing new. :) Now I can see why people get so upset when they go past their due date. It's like a magical date that is supposed to make everything feel better - by having the baby - even though it's still hard afterwards. At least your body can get back to normal!

oh, to make things even better, this lady who works at the place I volunteer asked if I was having a boy or girl. When I told her a girl, she said "ya, I can tell cuz it's in your hips." How insensitive!!! I wanted to punch her. How can people think it's nice to say things like that to someone who is pregnant? Geesh!

I had killer restless legs for about a month. I found that if I didn't eat anything for about 2 hours before bed it helped. I don't have anything with sugar in it so close to bed. Of course the restless legs have gone away, but I still can't sleep for more than 2 or 3 hours at a time. My giant belly aches and when my stomach gets comfortable I either have to pee or have killer heartburn. I am getting so used to watching infomercials and c___ppy movies at 4 am. I even avoid going out in public because I want to punch everyone who comments on my pregnancy. Yes I'm pregnant, yes I'm big, yes it's hot outside and so am I, yes I'll have them soon, now f-off people!!!! Ahhh, my poor husband.

Rhiannon -- the last part of your post made me laugh out loud bc i think those exact thoughts every single day. i'm @ 36 weeks and can't wait for this pregnancy business to be done and over w/ . why do people feel so comfortable giving pregnant women advice on everything from what they wear and what they eat to how they are carrying???? 4 more weeks (i hope not 1 minute longer). thank god i found a place like this to vent bc my husband is just about sick of me i think. hang in there everyone... it can't last forever, now can it?

UGH! I feel like c___p today. 32 weeks here, and 8 more sounds like 8 years! I haven't been sleeping AT ALL, I think it is nature's way of preparing us for the sleep deprivation later on. And for some reason today when he moves around it feels like he is grinding his heels into my intestines. IT is the weirdest feeling!

I am soo unhappy and have 6 weeks to go.. Yesterday, I was soo sore and achy I wanted to cry. Every day is different and we gotta all hang in there..

You know what ladies? I just wanted to write and give you all some hope. When I hit 35 weeks, I have no idea what happened but I went through this phase where I was highly emotional and felt like I couldn't do this anymore. It felt like the pregnancy would never end and that I would die a big balloon. Anyways, I'm 37 weeks now and all of a sudden, my outlook has changed. Yes, my body feels like it's being attacked by aliens, but my mind is doing much better. I'm much more optimistic, relaxed and enjoying the last few weeks. I also realized how much things will change once the baby is here, so I'm taking advantage, getting things ready, spending time alone and with my DH going on little "dates" and pampering myself. I booked a pedicure, haircut and ma__sage and have been living it up for the past few weeks. Anyways, I just wanted to let you all know, it seems 35 weeks is a breaking point for a lot of woman because you are still more than a month away from the big day but your body feels HUGE and TIRED. Don't worry girls, it will get better, if you let it, and try to focus on the good things about being a)free b)not a feeding machine yet c)getting a LITTLE bit of sleep d)having the option to pick up and go without packing up the whole baby's kit and caboodle just yet, etc. Good luck!

yourtrish is right ... I am almost to 37 weeks and even though I hurt like hell, I do want to enjoy my last few weeks of freedom. My husband and I are spending more time together, I'm doing last minute things that I know I won't get to for a while and generally trying to ignore my aches and pains. This is my first so I know it will be an adjustment for me to be a mom and not just "carefree me" - I won't be alone anymore! :)I did wake up this week and feel better mentally for the most part. Lots more energy and drive to get things done.
