So here I am exactly 38 weeks, horrible menstrual type cramps, low back pain, lightening crotch, hips feel like they are separating and let's not forget it feels like I have been doing an ab crunch challenge that I unfortunately will not be winning. Oh and I also forgot to mention the restless leg syndrome that keeps me up all night. 2 weeks ago my blood pressure spiked for no reason and then it goes back down then I have protein in my urine, but no preeclampisia.

This is not my first rodeo, maybe my first in 11 years as my 2 other kids are 11 & 15 but I have never felt like this. I am so hopeful tomorrow my doc will schedule my induction. I've never went into natural labor so I do not care if it is more painful as I have nothing to compare it to. Since I'm "advanced maternal age" at the ripe OLD age of 38 and had a 4 degree episiotomy 15 years ago I still get to elect for an induction. So yes please let's do this...

Sorry ladies had to get it out... I have never felt so shitty being pregnant before. I see all these amazing babies being born early and I'm like oh please me next. I'm just tired of feeling horrible
