    I've been feeling pretty decent up until the past few days. Now, I don't even want to move. It hurts to sit and walk. It takes me forever to get comfortable. I've been having some crampiness the past 2 days, where it feels like I could start my period at any time. I'm still having BH which are really annoying. I just wonder how long this misery is going to last or does it mean that I may be getting close. They definitely need to cook longer, but I'm also tired of being uncomfortable. I go to the doctor tomorrow afternoon for an u/s and to see the doc, so we'll see what he says. Thanks for listening to me vent.

    I would let your doctor know about the cramps- that's something that my docs have told me to tell them if I feel that. I'm sorry you've hit the miserable stage of things and hope that the time goes quickly for you!

    I know how you feel- although I am not quite as far along as you. My hips are hurting so bad, and everything takes so much effort! And I have been having the BH and crampiness too, just nothing regular- I have an appt tomorrow and figured I would ask then too! So I don't know what else to tell you, and don't know if is normal yet or not! I do find that taking tylenol helps somewhat with the soreness though.
    At least we both know there is an end in sight- sometime in the next 6 weeks for me, and 4 for you :D

    I agree, let your OB know about the crampiness. Hang in there. :hug99:

    I feel your pain. Take it easy and do let your doc know about the cramps.

    definitely tell your doc about the cramps. I went into labor at 36 weeks and was so so so ready but after seeing how the babies could have used even one more week, I definitely wish I would have carried to 37 or 38 weeks. I hit my wall at 33 weeks. Just hang on as long as you can and know that you will not remember any of this (well, really remember anyway). Schedule a pedicure or some other outing for each week on Wednesday and make that a milestone day. It's easier to say "I have 4 more Wednesday's" than it is to say 4 more weeks. So, pick some way to pamper yourself and make it a ritual each week.

    YOU ARE DOING GREAT!!!

    Hang in there. I'm only 30 weeks and already starting to get very uncomfortable. Baby B keeps kicking me in the ribs and diaphragm while baby A is way low, right on top of my bladder, and makes it hard to move around. I can't imagine how I'll feel in just another 2 weeks.

    I swear every week is a new symptom -- BH contractions (nearly constant 6 hours long sometimes), hip pain, pubic pain, restless legs, swelling hands feet face, increased Blood pressure, rib pain, upper back rib pain, lower back pain, shortness of breath when lying on my side, m/s, tired.... luckily most weeks the one symptom would lessen or disappear before the next one arrived. Not sure which one has been the worst. I'm 35 weeks now and barely moving thanks to early preeclampsia. The babies hurt me now when they move around in there and not just the odd kick to the cervix either. The BH contractions causes me such shortness of breath now.

    It is hard towards the end to keep up the strength to keep going. (like we have a choice). I find now i'm just not excited about them coming anymore, I just need them out now. I want them taken out of my body, let me rest and then let me hold them later.
