39 weeks and uncomfortable

[Guest guest]

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,

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!

progress for you soon, so you can deliver and get to feeling better! Keeping

you in my thoughts!
