So Over Pregnancy

I feel like such a jerk complaining at 36w5d, but damn it I am ready for him to BE HERE. Most of my pregnancy was awesome, I am VERY lucky. I am lucky at all to be pregnant, and thankful to even be feeling like shit right now.
Finished the nursery, sanitized the bottles and breast pump parts, washed a decent amount of clothes, towels, sheets, blankets, and changing pad covers. We are READY!
Symptoms are pretty much cramping (bad) random times during the day, I guess they are painful BH contrax, or whatever they are, feels like hes punching or headbutting my cervix. Gassy and tired. Honestly, it happens a lot when I stand up and I do too much, so when I lie or sit its a little better. But I can't just sit down for the next few weeks. That is not going to work...
I started my Red Raspberry Leaf tea last night, but I don't expect it to do much except help to make my labor shorter when its "go" time. As long as he cooks in there for 37+ weeks I will be happy as a clam. I really want him to make it to 38-40 weeks but I am miserable. His movements are sharp and painful. He gets his feet or knees in my side and I have to go on the bouncy ball to get him to move, its crazy~!
Baby Torin please be kind to momma!!

 | Comment from emmapeal9 » Posted Jul. 5, 2014 9:10pm My Toren is giving me the same grief. Last week he was already measuring 7lbs 9oz which explains why EVERY movement of his HURTS. The longer he's in there, the more my pelvic bone feels like its going to split in half. I'm getting tailbone pain now as well and the rectal pressure is NOT awesome. I've been WALKING and WALKING and WALKING to try to get him to come out already. Little man, you're already 8lbs - GTFO! |
 | Comment from Cattsmeow » Posted Jul. 5, 2014 8:17pm I know how you feel! I am only 35 weeks 1 day, but I can't wait to give my baby boy his eviction notice. I know how hard the waiting game is. I thought I was going to be pregnant forever with my oldest, and I'm feeling the same now. But hang in there, hun. You are so close! |
