37 weeks 5 days and the nausea returns!

I didn't experience nausea at the end of my first pregnancy (although I was hardly sick that pregnancy in general), but since yesterday, I've noticed some nausea has returned. :( Although it wasn't too bad during the first trimester, it definitely wasn't enjoyable. I'm not sure if I am just pushing myself to get everything done ASAP or what, but eating in general has just been hard to do lately. Nothing sounds good, I haven't had much of an appetite and usually have to force myself to eat. Having no appetite leads to me not eating, which results in a headache and dizziness. Not helpful at all when I have so much that needs to be done still! To make things even harder, Allison has been fighting naps AGAIN, so there goes any time for myself. My husband has been trying to work extra hours and make extra money to get ahead on bills so when this baby gets here, he can take off more than just a few days.
No help with Allison and no help getting things done has made me very stressed. With only 16 days left until my due date, I'm realizing that this baby can literally come at any time now, and the thought is very overwhelming! I'm nervous and scared and kind of sad. Realizing that I only have a few weeks (or less!) left with Allison being my only baby has left me very emotional. I worry about how she will adjust to all the new changes, I'm dreading having to drop her off at my in laws while I'm on the way to the hospital, knowing that the next time I see her, she won't be my only baby anymore. I'm sure these feelings are normal, but some days the realization hits me harder than others and I can't help but cry. I really hate these hormones and I'm dreading the sudden drop in hormones after delivery. Baby blues weren't too bad with Allison, but I do remember some days where I would cry for anything and everything: my husband going back to work, another day passing meant she was another day older and there was no way to make time stop, taking her for her first trip to the grocery store, her first appointment, the list goes on! I fear it will be worse this time, based on my emotions throughout this whole pregnancy.
The braxton hicks contractions still come and go, slight cramps and occasional back aches also come and go, but nothing big enough to get me excited. Hopefully we'll have everything done by the middle of this coming week so I can just relax these last few days/weeks. Hopefully this nausea goes away soon. It's hard to function with it! :(
On a side note: Does anyone else get an error for the site every now and then? Not sure if it's my computer/internet or what. But every now and then, I get a 503 service unavailable error...

Everything upsets me and I spend more time stressed or crying over the smallest things! I also definitely think that the nausea/lack of appetite is due to there just being no more room in there! |
 | Comment from Gigi76 » Posted Apr. 24, 2016 5:53am Same problems here with nausea and lack of appetite. :( I'm wondering whether maybe stomach being so squashed and the resulting heartburn has something to do with it? Not long to go now ladies....we're almost at the finish line! ;-) p.s. Been getting the 503 Error message too here. :/ |
 | Comment from blondeone12 » Posted Apr. 23, 2016 7:33am The hormones have really started hitting me too. You are not alone. it seems like i cry at the drop of a hat the past couple of weeks. Also I get the 503 error every once in a while too. Not just you. |
