I'm done

IM SOOOO DONE!

I can’t sleep, I can’t eat without getting heartburn or sick, the only time I’m comfortable is when I’m walking, but that makes me swell I’m beyond GRUMPY, every little thing sets me off either crying or MAD....I’m laughing at myself, just last week, I was all for working another two! Now.... Shoot, I’m about to go insane sitting here!

I know it’s selfish, but I WANT to be done NOW! Seriously, how you ladies do it for so long is amazing, I admire each of you. My DR says its not long, she sees the Hardin Girls coming in the next 3-4 weeks... I see myself going completely insane before then! :wacko:

HELP!! :unsure:

 

:hug: Christina!! I am sorry you are feeling so miserable! They will be here before you know it! :hug:

 

HANG IN THERE!!! You are doing great!
I know it is so so hard :hug:
Rent yourself some good movies, or watch some really lame TV shows or get a few good books & before you know it Mackenzie & Alexis will be here!! (both of those names were at the top of my names list :wub

Have you read the Twilight series books by Stephenie Meyer?? There are 4 long books in the series & they are AWESOME to pass the time!

 

I'm so sorry! I'm tempted to say it's only one more month, but I remember from my previous pregnancies, (with only one baby each time) that towards the end, the prospect of another month seems endless.

You've done great so far, and you'll make it! I hope the time passes quickly and that you'll have your sweet babies in your arms soon!

keep trying to say the same thing to myself! Then I look down at my sausage feet and burst into tears! (seriously, I just did this about a hour ago in my office, I know people think Im going NUTS! haha) I know its best for the girls too.. but Mama wants to be selfish!

 

I hope you can go a bit longer! My girls were born at 31.6 and were in NICU for 4& 5 weeks--they are wonderful walking talking 3 year olds, but we still feel the lurk of prematurity (asthma, repeated pneumonia, mild CP,reflux etc).

Congrats on going this far- you are doing great. Keep it up and rest (even if youa regrumpy & tired) because boy does the time fly once your babies are born!

 

I was about 30-31 weeks when I hit the wall and wanted to be pregnant no longer- I wanted them out- I had many of the same symptoms (except walking- that was awful!!) I know how hard it is, but you are doing great and you really are almost there! They really will be here before you know it and this will all become a distant memory (you might even miss it someday... someday kind of far from today!! )

I hope so! lol ... But Im sure your right... VERY FAR from today!

 

Sorry. You can do it though!!! Do you think this in the end of work for you or do you still feel up for working more?

I cant wait for the movie either!!!
You can totally get through the last 2 books before your little ones arrive, make that your goal :good:
It will keep you (somewhat) occupied

I do believe this maybe my last week... Unless I feel empowered next week (doubt it) to keep going. I let my boss know, he is amazed I lasted this long! Haha

 

:hug: Hang in there Christina. I know it's hard and so very uncomfortable and painful, but you are doing on of the greatest things out there! :hug: You can do it momma!!!!!! :good:

 

I know it's miserable. I almost lost my mind!! When I hit a wall I would flip through books that showed pictures of premature babies in NICUS. That always gave me the strength to go on. One day in you equals two days in the NICU. You are doing awesome. Hang in there!!

 

:hug: I'm so sorry you're feeling so miserable. I'm definitely feeling your pain. My DR asked me today at my 33 week appointment if I had 3 more weeks in me and I just gave him a look of misery and said I'll try. He did say that if I go into labor on my own (have to do a c-section due to Baby A breech) after next week (34 weeks) then he won't stop it. SO there's a light at the end of the tunnel that is not too far off. I know it's hard and I hate feeling selfish too. I know it's better for them to be in there longer but I hurt everywhere and I'm swollen. I am just praying the weeks go really fast. I'll do the same for you. :hug:

 

Thank you ladies for all your encouragement! Its amazing to me, how last week I felt great and this week, IM DONE! I guess its one of the joys of expecting twins ^_^

EXACTLY! ... Im feeling your pain! I hope it goes fast for the both of us! I keep thinking... Wow, I have Just a few more weeks, and then feel sick because I have a few more weeks! :hug: Heres to us making it!!! haha

 

Uggh I can only imagine... positive thoughts flowing your way :hug:

 

Yes when you hit that wall you really hit that wall. I remember I was about 32 weeks I felt like time was standing still (but I was home on modified rest so looking out the window watching the grass grow was torture) kudos to you for working! Hugs to you!

 

Each week or day is another day closer to healthy babies. It's all come to a sudden reality check for us. Be grateful that you are able to do what you're doing and enjoy those last few weeks of being preggers.

Here's to some healthy, happy mono/di girls! :drinks:

 

You can do it, I know you can!!!!! I can only imagine how sore you are, and how difficult it must be to feel this way, but look how far you have come. Be so proud of yourself, and when those little bundles are here it will be all worth it....

Stay strong, I'm thinking of you.....

Can I thank you for voicing out my thoughts?!

I feel the same way, there's nothing I do well now, can't sleep, eat, drink without feeling uncomfortable. My feet are swollen ALL THE TIME, my right hand is diagnosed with carpal tunnel, I'm experiencing BH everyday, giddiness, constipated, heartburn...when does the list end?! :blink:

 

I totally here ya on this one. I'm 37 weeks today w/ twin boys and I just had my dr. appt yesterday and I didn't "hear what I wanted to hear". At my last appt. (36 wks.) I was 2 cm and 70% thinned so my dr. told me "anytime now!" So this entire last week I was thinking that my journey was finally going to come to an end. So when he told me yesterday that I haven't made any progress and we scheduled a C-section for around 38 wks... I lost it. After we left the dr. office I just couldn't stop crying and feeling extremely selfish. I'm so miserable with aches and pains and not to mention the feet looking something awful and my hands falling asleep ALL the time (at least some part of me gets to sleep .... <_< cause Lord knows the rest of me is past the part of being able to sleep!) I think I hit my road block around 35 weeks when I just wanted them out and to be done being pg. Today is a much better day. (Besides the aches and pains...) I know that both boys are healthy and are going to have a much better chance at a healthy start and what more could I ask for than that. I'm so blessed and just have to keep reminding myself of the road it took my husband and I to get here ... we've been waiting 3 1/2 years for this day to come. So I know that it will all be worth it and it will for you too! Just keep hanging in there and know that the light at the end of tunnel holds something very precious and you will have the strength to get there. Take care!!!!!! :hug:

 

We all know how you feel I was soooo there don't worry soon it will all be a blurr... Don't feel guilty by the time I was 34 weeks I would have given anything to be done and I mean anything...The last couple of months are the hardest!

 

Thanks again everyone! This is one of the hardest things I have ever done, and I hope one of the MOST rewarding. I keep trying to stay positive, and you all are a MAJOR help for that :grouphug: Again, thank you all for the encouragement. Its just what I needed!
