34 weeks today and super discouraged

Well :yahoo: I made it to 34 Weeks. But i Feel like crap. I cant sleep, i feel like crying all the time, and i feel so darn lonely. I could have babies anyday now, but i know that i should be wanting to keep them inside. I have cramps all the time and contractions that stop me in my tracks, but they arent regular. I have a feeling that i am going to be having these babies really soon.
I cant get comphy.. Sitting, laying down, Forget about standing.. It all hurts... Dont forget that i still have a very active almost 4 year old to take care of too...

Okay i guess i am done whining now..

I know, it's tough. It seems like when you don't get enough sleep, everything else is magnified. I'm SO tired and cranky and I have two kids to handle on top of everything else. But, you're SO close and you're doing so well! Just remember that the longer you go, the bigger and stronger those precious babies are going to be.

Hang in there, hon. You're really in the home stretch!

I hear ya dear!! I am there 100% too. No matter the position, it hurts. Taking a bath is a chore. DH washed my hair and everything else (except shave) yesterday cause it is so hard to do it now. My feet are super swollen and I try to put them up but then my ribs hurt and my RLS kicks in. Can't win for losing when it comes to getting comfy.

I cried all weekend. I am miserable and I am seriously worried about providing for the girls and us. Not where I want to be right now. I contract and had some pretty good ones this weekend, but I know I won't have a one at my NST today.

I have the opposite feeling of them coming soon. I feel like they will hold out til my scheduled c-section which isn't for another 4wks. I am just ready physically, but in my heart I really want to wait til 37wks. I just wish physically I felt that way!

Soon it will be done and our babies will be in our arms

Count me in too! I'll be 34 weeks on Thursday and really can't wait for this to be over! I've got the same miserable symptoms as well ---- back hurts all the time, hot all the time, can't get comfortable anywhere or anyhow, sleep is just worthless, and my feet are swollen all the time! I'm really not having any contractions that I know of but I'm just waiting for them! This weekend I tried to rally up some energy and went to the movies with DH. That was a mistake! My back hurt the whole time and I could feel my feel swelling by the minute!

I just try to keep reminding myself that I am in the home stretch and these babies will be here soon!

Hang in there! We are almost there!

 

Whine away! I cant' imagine...at 34 weeks, I had been on bedrest for 7 weeks and literally barely out of bed from weeks 30-34 (spent most of that time on hospital bedrest). So, I really don't know what it was like to be active and 34 weeks pregnant.

You are getting SO close and will meet those little babies soon! Hang in there just a little bit longer! You can DO IT!

 

You are almost there, you are almost there, you are almost there....

I have to be honest and say that I slept WAY better after the babies were born. Those last couple weeks were miserable! Hang in there.

 

I'm not there yet, but just wanted to give you :hug99: :hug99:

Thank you ladies!! Its been a couple of bad days i guess...

 

You can do it! Just hang in a little longer. I know how miserable it can get, but it will be so worth it to take your little ones home from the hospital with you.

 

{{{{Hugs}}}}

It is so hard! You are doing real physical labor -- if singleton pregnancy is a marathon, twin pregnancy is a triathlon. I desperately wanted to have my babies anytime after 32 weeks. I cried every night, wanting it to be over. As it turned out, I had a scheduled c/s at 37 weeks and I was so grateful they stayed in all that time. It really does make a difference. They will eat better, sleep better, cry less, and have fewer health problems. Soon you'll be done and you'll be so glad you made it as far as you did (and you'll be so glad not to be pregnant anymore -- at least I was!).

 

If it makes all of you feel better...you really won't remember any of this once your beautiful babies are here. I know it sucks but it takes a special mommy to carry twins...you are all amazing and pretty soon you little ones will be here. I hope you feel better soon!

 

I remember that feeling.... the "this pregnancy has become an endurance race" feeling. Everything hurt and I was so big and miserable. The great news is that you will feel soooooo much better after they are here... just try and hang in there. Everyday you give them is an amazing gift.

 

I felt the same way you do when I hit 34 weeks. I was SOOOOO done. Now I've made it two more weeks, which I never thought I would. It is really difficult, but I know all this pain will be worth it in the end!

 

I can tell you that my wife feels the same way as you guys. She is so ready to have these babies and be done with the entire being unconfortable.

I'm 23 wks and I wanna be done :wacko: i know that obviously that cant be as i want healthy babies but i feel miserable. i am about the same size as i was at 40wks with singleton. the list of your complaints is what i have to say too.. so that realllllly worries me how i have so much further to go and i feel this miserable already. i feel like the babies have cracked a couple of my ribs as well. sitting standing laying down it all hurts if it do it for very long (more than 15 min) ... waaahh!!! so what do i need to do to get on a happy boat? or at least be able to get to 34 weeks like ya all? :unsure:
advice greately wanted!!

 

Hang in there Ashley, I'm right there with you too! It will hurt to sleep on one side, and then hurt to try to turn over to the other side, and then hurt to try to just sit up and give up!!!

I totally know what you mean, too, with your daughter. My 1 year old is becoming so clingy to me and she is so playful right now, but I have to pass her off to my husband and I hate that I have to do that a lot nowadays.

We're all here to help each other and vent to each other so we don't go crazy. Remember 4 weeks ago we could not imagine to be at 34 weeks and feeling the way we're feeling now? We're almost there!!!

 

Omg,,, I know exactly how everyone feels!!! But it feels better knowing that Im not only one.. I am 31 weeks with b/g twins, my prepreg weight is 92 I am now 143lbs, I have severe cramping and evil crotch pain like crazy, not to mention cant lay on either side and my back isn't much better. I have absolutely terrible RLS and on top of that if I have a contraction I wait...and wait,,,, and wait.... for another sometimes resulting in what could be hours trying to sleep while my hubby snores away,,, doc says it could be anyday now but he doesnt expect me to go past 35 weeks with my frame, my son starts Kindergarten in 6 days and Im right in the middle of potty training my lil girl with lots of success there.( she will do anything for a tootsie roll) lol..my feet are swelling and here in alabama its like 100 degrees outside everyday! I am so miserable and waiting for this to end,,,right now i feel like it never will..but i am strong no tears yet here...i know it will all be over soon.

 

Sorry you are feeling so lousy. I wish I had advice for you, but keep those babies in there as long as possible, cause the nicu is not a comfy place to be. xoxoxoxo

 

Ashley, :hug99: You are almost there! Don't give up yet-- keep believing that someday soon you will be sleeping again and feeling better AND your babies will be coming home with you. I remember 34 weeks and I went to 38... and I survived, although I was pretty miserable but that first night in the hospital, I slept like before I had children. You can do this!

 

Hang on, you made it this far ... it will be SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO worth it, and every additional week can make a major difference for the babies.

You're doing great, just take it easy!!! They'll be here soon!

HUGE HUGS!!!!!! I felt the EXACT same way you do at the end of my pg. The end is SUPER tough, but you are almost there and you're doing such a great job cooking those babies!!! You are going to be SO PROUD of yourself for hanging in there.

Sounds like we're all in the same boat. To be perfectly honest, THIS SUCKS!! lol My whole body hurts all the time. Comfort is a word long gone from my vocabulary, I'm huge, (measuring 43 weeks) and swollen all the time. When I finally do get to sleep, the babies wake up and start kicking and rolling around like it's Romper Room in my belly at 4 am. My normally wonderfully behaved ten year old has become moody and snippy. I swear it's some kind of hormonal thing. He's almost worse than a teenage girl!! I'm cranky, so everybody is driving me crazy. (can't imagine how crazy i'm driving them). I just keep telling myself it'll all be worth it in the end. I'm like my own walking self help book.....lol

 

SS! But, at least you made it this far! That's great!

 

There are few things worse than being 34 weeks pregnant with twins! You have to go thru it to appreciate how miserable it is. At my 34 wk peri appt I broke down crying and could not stop I was in so much pain.

Take it minute by minute, know that we're all here for you and can empathize...once those babies come time willl fly and you'll be much happier, trust me! :hug99:

 

Hang in there. I'm right there with you. I am completely miserable. I know nothing helps but we are so close. :love0028:
