not sure I'll make it!

I am 35wks and I am so miserable. I know that is completely normal right now. When I went for my appt last Friday the doctor told me I was already 1-2cm dilated. I wasn't super concerned about being dilated because I know you can walk around dilated for a long time. Then at my NST I told the nurse I was having a lot of pain down in my girly area. It's constant crotch pain. She started feeling on my stomach and told me Baby A was really low. I am scheduled for a c-section on Aug 3 when I'll be 37wks but since both girls are still head down it will be changed to an induction. The doctor said he would either do the section or induce that week. I really am wanting to make it to that point but am starting to wonder if I will. I am crampy but it's nothing timeable or consistent. I can barely walk around and trying to lay down and sleep is a joke. I feel like I could go into labor at any moment. I know nobody can predict labor but just please tell me this is normal and how everyone else is feeling or felt at this time!!!!

 

How I was feeling? Very tearful, tired and cranky. My bff just said to me yesterday that my mood was not pretty when pregnant with 2. I was so miserable. I just wanted to put my uterus down for 5 minutes! Know that you are very strong, brave and this will be over relatively soon. I think we moms stop being able to sleep (hardly at all!) in the 3rd trimester in preparation for newborn(s). You can do this. All you have to do is get through today. Today will soon be over and it's done. What can you do for you today that you won't be able to do with newborns? Do you need a pedicure? A haircut? Personal grooming at the end is a good idea. :ibiggrin:

Take heart,

It may be soon for you!! :babyflips: :babyflips:
I am sorry you are so uncomfortable, and yeah you know thats normal.
I think the crampy feeling means its getting close! Take care sweetie! and get some rest even though thats easier said then done!!

:grouphug:

 

I agree! I cried all the time the last month or so. I started feeling a lot of pressure down low on a Friday and I went into labor Monday morning. I had apparently been in pre-labor all weekend.

I hope you do make it a little longer for the babies sake but +35 weeks is awesome!! In a few months you won't remember the details of this time. You'll just remember that it sucked. :laughing:

It won't be too much longer. I'm excited for you!

 

I know the babies will be okay at this point. Maybe just need some extra care from the NICU but overall will be okay. One reason I am stressing is because my youngest just got over pink eye. I was happy it was gone. But my father-in-law picked it up and now my sister-in-law has it. She is the one watching the kids when I go into labor! The doctor did say she will be good by Saturday which means my father-in-law will be over it soon too but still like I need one more thing to worry about. I don't want my kids getting it or DD getting reinfected while I am in the hospital and them not being able to visit. I'm not so worried about the babies getting it because I can restrict vistors and nobody will be allowed to touch them until they wash their hands.

 

I didn't quite make it that far, but I do remember being so tired and emotional and, yes, I did feel lots of crotch pain which DH lovingly referred to as "fire crotch" when I would complain. :shok:

You will get there soon, it sounds like it! Good luck and just hang in there, it is so almost over and then all of the agony and discomfort will be nothing but a memory.

 

I will be 35 weeks tomorrow and I feel your pain right now! Girl, I feel the same way...just not sure I can make it any longer. I have sooo much pressure down low and truly feel that it could be ANY minute, seriously!!!!! I do not have any dates scheduled yet, but have an appointment on Monday. My Dr. has never checked me for dilation yet....that will be on Monday as well as the Strep B test.

Have they estimated your babies' weights yet? Just curious...

 

At my ultrasound on Friday Baby A was 4lbs 13oz and Baby B was 5lbs 3oz. I had my group B on Friday but haven't gotten the results yet. I am sure they have them I just haven't found out yet.

The crampy feeling isn't constant anymore but more of a come and go thing. So I am starting to wonder if something is happening. I am going to attempt to time them.

 

I hope everything goes well for you Keep us posted on what happens.....and hang in there!

 

You can make it. It is miserable, but just think if htey don't have NICU time how nice that will be.

 

Good news....all the cramping stopped. It went from being fairly regular (not really timeable though) to spacing out to nothing. Every once in a great while I will get a cramp. I really would love to make it to 36wks which is only four days away. Actually if I could make it to the scheduled date the first week of August that would be even better! I will be 37wks by then.

 

Every time I tried timing anything for a while it stopped. :headbang: I'm very glad to hear you are hanging in another day. Even if they were just 'feeders and growers' you really don't want your babies to go to the NICU.
:youcandoit: :youcandoit:

 

I totally agree. I am feeling better this morning. Last night I didn't know if I could make it a day let alone another week but right now I feel like I can handle another week or two! Thanks for all the support!!! Everyone here is awesome!
