VENT - I am so sick of being pregnant!

I have not really whined about much, but I have come to a point in this pregnancy where I just don't want another day to go on carrying these babies!!! I know the end is near, but just when I think that I can't possibly get any larger - I do, just when I think I can't get any more uncomfortable - I do, just when I think I can't swell up any more - I do.

** I'm past what another expecting mom called "hobbit legs"... I feel like the bottom half of my body is the Michelin Tire Man!

** I am only getting 3 hours of sleep a night, and only in 45 minute increments at best

** I just passed off my DD to my in-laws today because I just can't do anything with her and feel awful. And the worst thing is that DD senses that I can't do anything with her and cries. So she's off to stay with them until after the deilvery. I know it is best for her and for me, but I miss her terribly. I know we are just lucky that they are capable and willing and wanting to do this

** Not only do I have to pee every hour, I have to do "the other duty" every few hours with a lot of effort but little relief... if you know what I mean... so now I am using Tucks pads for relief of that! (sorry if TMI)

** Ligaments have decided to stretch a little more this late in the game - those pains just started today

** Stomach is itching like heck again due to another expansion of the "budda belly"

** I am in nesting phase, but I am so uncomfortable that I can't really do much to satisfy the need to organize and clean

** I'm only 5'2 and have gained almost 50 pounds... but it feels like I've gained 100. I don't want to get on the scale at the doctor's office tomorrow - I feel like I've just retained another 10 pounds of fluid in the last 8 hours

Thank you for listening to my vent. I need to go lay down now - this is the time of the day that the twins move around a bunch... ugh!

P.S. I know I shouldn't complain - I've had a relatively smooth pregnancy. My heart goes out to all of you who have had additional complications on top of these aches and pains of carrying twins - I don't know how you do it!

 

Oh of course you should complain. It's crazy what we endure at the end of a twin pregnancy. I am so afraid of the next few weeks considering how yucky I feel even now. Do you have a date scheduled or are you waiting for labor? I am so sorry it's so hard. I know it's normal but that doesn't make it any easier. I'll send up a little prayer for stamina and rest. Go ahead and breakdown a little here and there too.

You are doing so well!! Hang in there. You should be so proud and you will feel so proud after they are here.

 

You are sooo close! Congrats on making it to 36 weeks, it's a real accomplishment. I am only 31 weeks pregnant and even though I am grateful each day I wake up and I am still pregnant b/c that means the boys are still growing and developing--I am so DONE with being pregnant. I can relate to your woes. I am also extremely annoyed and tired of my swollen feet and legs and had no idea that swelling could be so painful! The hardest part has been working nine hour days and every single day I am ready to go home by noon.

I can't wait to get to your point, to be 36 weeks pregnant. Like the pp, I'm curious if you have a scheduled c-section or are just waiting to naturally go into labor?

 

(hugs) Do you have an end date at all?

 

Hang in there! You are almost at the end!!

 

you are so close!!! hang in there mama

 

I am right there with ya!! I wish i could send off DD with someone else.. She is driving me NUTS!! The part that i am done with is having painful contractions that are close together and then nothing!! I so thought babies were comming yesterday

 

No need to apologize for venting. It's easy to understand that you would be uncomfortable :hug99:. You are so close - and so close to full-term. That's really wonderful . Almost there...

 

I can only imagine how much discomfort you are in. But trust me it will all be worth it, when you get to leave the hospital with your babies in tow. You have every right to complain, just know that it will soon be over and your babies will be in your arms. xoxoxoxoxo

 

You are doing so well!!! You'll get to meet those babies of yours in no time flat, and then just think how worth it it will all be!

 

I think all of us that are at that 30+ week mark totally understand how you feel! No worries, we're all allowed to whine and vent! I, too, have had a pretty smooth pregnancy, but I've hit my wall. I'm dying to go scrub our bathrooms, but would be stuck on the floor for the next 30 years if I even tried.

Relax. You're in the home stretch and you've done a GREAT job growing those babies! Not much longer!

 

Trust me, there is an end in sight!

I know just how you feel but it is totally worth it! Try to hang in there mama! And don't feel guilty about letting DD spend some time with Grandma!

Remember, every extra day in there is better for those babies!

 

Honey, you are sooooo close! You're going a great job! I had a pretty smooth pregnancy too, but I hit the wall at about 32 weeks -- and then I kept getting bigger and more "uncomfortable" (euphemism for "in pain"). Do you have a c/s or induction date, or are you waiting to go into labor? Hang in there! :hug99:
