So tired of being pregnant

I am almost 32 weeks and am so very uncompfortable. I have problems breathing at times and wish I would go into labor every day now. I am on bed rest so everyday my kids go to daycare and I am home alone. All I have done in the past three days is sleep and cry all day then can't sleep at night. I feel so guilty for wanting this to be over.

 

I know the feeling. The last few weeks are really hard. Your tired, your body hurts, you can't sleep, so on and so on. But, the longer those little ones are in there, the healthier they will be. Just think of the good you are doing them to make it a few more weeks. As far as feeling guilty, that never stops. You will feel guilty when they come out about some other thing.

You are almost there, just hang in there. It is worth it in the end and you will start to forget how hard it was. :hug99:

Im in the same boat as you im so very tired i cry all the time especially at night i cant sleep at all really and this is litterally killing me i feel like even though i know its not and i feel guilty too. It just hurts tremendously and cant breath or be comfortable at anytime of the day or night.I know it will alll deff be worth it when i seee my precious two little boys and i will be so happy but I really dont know how much more I can handle I will handle it just for my boys and my husband.. Im here with you and if you need someone to talk to im here also =)

Hang In there

 

I am not as far along as you are. But I totally feel for you :hug99: . I have been on bedrest for the past 5 weeks. I have a very small frame and stress of twin pregnancy is taking its toll. Too many aches and pains, can't sleep, cant breathe, cant get comfortable. :cray:
And there is no relief from anything. :BDH:

 

So sorry you are feeling so sad.

I'm glad you realize how serious it could be if your babies were born now and the best thing for them is to keep safe and growing in you. Hang in there. I know it's uncomfortable. I know some women who would have loved to still have their babies healthy and in them at 32 weeks. :hug99: You can do it!!

I agree with pp about the guilt. Now that you are a mom, it never goes away. Get used to it. ardon:

 

No matter how uncomfortable you are now at least your time is your own. There are days I would give anything to be pregnant & on bedrest again just to be able to get some rest. Once the babies are here it's game on, I haven't slept in 2mths since they have been here. Not to mention throwing my son into the mix. Take the time to relax it will all be over soon enough! The sooner the babies come the more problems you may have with them, let them cook as long as they can.

 

Oh no sweetheart, don't feel guilty. Twin pregnancies are hard on you, I can't imagine when you have children how tough it would be. I can remember laying in bed all day, trying to scrapbook but I couldn't get comfy so I would play on my laptop, thank heavens for TS. The pain and difficulty breathing will subside, you really don't have much longer to go. The end result is so worth everything right now, just be sure to come in here and vent as often as you need to to feel sane. :hug99:

 

I'm only 28 weeks, but I've been feeling like that a bit too. For the past couple weeks, I've just wanted to be done being pregnant. This pregnancy is draining. I will be married 2 years Sept. 3, and we were pregnant when we got married and miscarried at 12 weeks at the end of that sept. Then, by Thanksgiving we were pregnant with our son and he was just born Aug 29, he is almost 10 mos. And we became pregnant with the twins within a couple months of having our son. We pretty much have been pregnant the whole time we've been married, and my body is exhausted. I am so ready to be done. I don't want them to come early and be in the NICU, nor do I think I'm ready for the adjustments with all the babies and my two oldest girls, but I wish I could be done. It's a very controversial situation for me.

I feel for you. I understand that feeling. I hope your spirits are lifted soon. The babies will be here before you know it and you will be able to get back to your normal self and be incredibly over joyed with your beautiful new babies. Hang in there. It's almost over! You'll do great.

 

Hang in there :hug99: .

 

I remember when I was 34, 35, 36, 37 weeks pregnant everytime I would go in for my doctor's appointment and being so disappointed that nothing had changed and the babies were still cooking. I was so uncomfortable and so ready for them to be here, but I also feel like I was so incredibly naive. After reading all the stories on these boards about mom's and their preemies, I feel so lucky that I had the opportunity for my babies to "cook" for almost 38 weeks.

I know how hard it is, but just try to be positive (again I know it's hard ), and just remember that all your pain and suffering is for the health and safety of your babies! Good luck and I hope you feel better.

 

Hang in there. :hug99: I am sure it is very uncomfortable right now for you, but trust me, you would rather be uncomfortable and pregnant than visiting your premature babies in the NICU. It won't be much longer.

 

Dont feel bad hun... I feel exactly the same and i am only 27+2 .... it just seems never ending at mo...everything aches and i am so so tired...i dont want them to come early lol i just want to fast forward to september lol

 

I sooooooooooo understand how you feel.

I am 31 weeks today.

It's damn hard work. I never imagined in my wildest dreams it would be this tough.

Just let it out, we are right there with you.

(( hugs )) from a fellow fatty all the way down here in New Zealand

Hang in there. xx

First off, don't beat yourself up! Being pregnant with twins is so much different than being pregnant with one baby, and one of those ways is that you are less able to be active all the way through pregnancy. I can tell you that I too was ready to deliver toward the end, I was exhausted and had a severe pelvic seperation and evey time I got out of bed my bones litterally snapped back into place, breathing got harder the bigger I got and by about 34 weeks I didn't fit behind the wheel of my car! Although I was not on bedrest I certainly did not feel like doing anything and caring for my daughter seemed like more than I could handle.

Now that I have my babies I have to say I am so glad they stayed in as long as they did (37 weeks 5 days). I know that because I took care of myself and followed all my doctor's recommedations my babies were healthy and weighed 6 lbs 13 ozs & 7 lbs 10 ozs. I can say that having been pregnant before the twins I thought I woudl feel a little more tired than I did before, but it would basically be the same, but the being pregnant part with the twins was not a lot of fun, even still there are days I wish I could go back to being pregnant and feeling them move inside me, when they were mine and just mine, and when strangers couldn't come up to me and them and touch them!!! I know it is hard, but try to enjoy the time you have left, and know that as hard as it is, and all of us know that it is HARD to be pregnant with twins it would be harder if they were born early and needed to stay in the hospital. Because of reading stories on here of what moms have gone through with babies in NICU I am thankful my boys were big and ready to go home with me.

Remember, there are good days and bad days and on the bad days do something special for yourself... Even on bedrest you can give yourself a manicure, or put on a sleep mask and burn shome aromatherapy candles... And remember, there is no reason to feel guilty all you should be feeling is proud and strong! Look how far you have come in cooking your little ones! Keep them in a little longer! I can tell you that now that it is over, people ask how long I went and I am so proud to say 38 weeks, then when I tell them how big they were I really feel proud that I was able to give them all that time! You will too, I promise!
