37 weeks, SO ready to have this baby!

Well I am 37 weeks, measuring 41 weeks and I am exhausted. I'm as big as a house and so uncomfortable. I'm having all sorts of weird things go on with my body. Sharp, sharp pains so low I swear he will fall out any minute, sometimes they radiate to my back, speaking of back.....my back is killing me. The other day I swear I had false back labour. My uterus is sore all along the top because I am stretched as far as I can go and the swelling in my ankles in unreal.....they jiggle when I walk. I don't recognize my own body from my neck down and either does my husband. We've had sex twice in the last 2 weeks, I feel disgusting. Somebody please tell me my body might go back to a shadow of it's formal self. I have anxiety that my husband will hate my post pregnancy body and leave me. Probably far fetched but I can't help but think it. My braxton hicks are intense and sometimes I have them every 2 minutes. I have to go for non stress test and ultrasounds every week to check my amniotic fluid levels. They were really high a few weeks but have gone down 5cm, good sign. Also my blood pressure has gone down as well.
This has been my only rant this far in my pregnancy. All in all I have loved being pregnant up until the last 3 weeks. I love carrying my son and I already feel like we have a special bond together. I can't wait for the day until I can hold him and see his beautiful little face.
Now we wait......

 | Comment from Coomy08 » Posted Sep. 6, 2012 11:44am I'm with you there, so ready for this kid to get out and join us on the outside! I've been trying to walk more since Monday and trying to do household activities as much as I can handle, they intensify the contractions just hoping it'll help start full blown labor soon not sure how much more of this being uncomfortable and miserable I can handle :( Good luck to you and hopefully your lil man will come soon. |
 | Comment from emilykate93 » Posted Sep. 4, 2012 9:16pm Ik how you feel girl! I am so ready to have my baby too! I am kinda nervous about my post pregnancy body as well. I am not exactly sure what to expect to when I look in the mirror afterward but women's body's were built to have babies and then to be able to bounce back afterwards( with eating healthy and a little exercise) so I am sure eventually thing will start looking a litttle more familar. Ik you're probably sick of people telling you this , I am too but we are almost there 3 weeks out of the 37 we have been pregnant is really not long to wait at all. Hang in there! |
