Well I'm not quite as bitchy as I was yesterday and this morning. Now it's becoming more of depression. It wasn't like this when I had my youngest. I was so much more patient. Probably for three reasons: 1. I had no expectations or reasons for thinking she would come preterm. 2. I didn't find out I was pregnant as early as 3w5d. 3. I didn't start having false labor and contractions and dilating and everything at 27 weeks. It was a very easy pregnancy that went smoothly, and I had my oldest (who was 13 months when I got pregnant with #2) to keep me occupied. This time is like torture. I keep thinking that she is coming like NOW, and then nothing. I just want to sleep and feel normal again. The doctor was apparently very wrong. She didn't even want me to leave at my last appointment, because she thought I was going to have her that day or within 24 hours. Here I am almost at my next appointment (Wednesday morning). Been having all the same symptoms every single day, so I honestly don't think I'm going to know I'm in active labor unless I have back labor again and my water breaks. More bowel movements than normal, peeing constantly, lots and lots of BH (some painful, most just uncomfortable). The only new symptoms I have are the crazy emotions and a lot more acne again out of nowhere. My doctor did say last week that I was still posterior, and today I noticed I'm more anterior now. So that made me feel slightly better. However, I know that doesn't always mean anything either. One thing is for sure, if I ever decide to have another baby... I will NOT be having any expectations of early arrival. It just makes it that much slower and more torturous.

I only have 22 days left until my due date. That's not so horrible. I guess some days we just feel better about it than others. pbc said it best, "I don't think anything can prepare one for the waiting game that is the final weeks of pregnancy." :) |

 | Comment from pbc910 » Posted Dec. 29, 2015 2:36am People say carrying twins was some big accomplishment but I have to give credit to you awesome ladies who are so near the end! I had the luxury of knowing, more or less, when these babies were coming, even though they did come early. I don't think anything can prepare one for the waiting game that is the final weeks of pregnancy. |
