Guest guest Posted August 21, 2002 Report Share Posted August 21, 2002 I am in my " last " week of this pregnancy and really struggling. I am eating way too much and it's all because I'm feeling very nervous and anxious about this whole " labor and delivery " thing. I'm trying not to let it get to me, as I've gained about 25 lbs with the pregnancy which is pretty typical. I am very frustrated as last week when I went to the dr., his comment regarding my cervix was, " Well... it's a little bit open. To try and induce you at this point would be a bad idea, it just wouldn't work " That didn't sound very promising. Anyways, I have such trouble sleeping, this baby the dr. is guessing is about 8 lbs, there just isn't anymore room inside of me. The baby is giving me so much pelvic pressure, it hurts to sit, it hurts to walk. Then he start in on my sciatic nerve which makes my leg go numb and give out. GRRRRRR! I'm not sure how much more of this I can handle. Not to mention the whole constipation/hemmroid business. I'm really tired of that!! I am still going to work everyday, not sure how much longer I can do this. Throughout the pregancy, I've only missed two days, not too bad I figure. I wish/hope the doc. tells me to stop working, so I can start my short term disability. I'm really sorry to vent, but I needed some compassion. Everyone here at work thinks the dr. calculated my due date wrong, if one more person tells me, " YOU'RE NOT BIG ENOUGH TO BE DONE BEING PREGNANT " . The heck I ain't!! I'm hoping for good news from the dr. today, otherwise I may be in a puddle of tears. Thanks for listening!! Janine W. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 21, 2002 Report Share Posted August 21, 2002 Janine, All I can say is I feel for you! Try and hang in there. I felt just like that at the end of my 2nd pregnancy. It is not fun. It will all be a faded memory soon. Take care! Trina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
