39 weeks and still pregnant 😩

Ari • Wed, Jun 28 • Mom of 2 beautiful girls ♥️

It feels like I've been pregnant a long time... my due date is literally a week from today and I was hoping to have this baby a week or 2 early. I know a lot of women go past their due dates but I just feel awful. I started swelling all over at 25 weeks and it's gotten worse. My hands have gotten so swollen that they start feeling numb.... my face doesn't look the same, I can only walk for 10 minutes and then I get out of breath....Oh and the itching has been awful 🙄 the doctors say there isn't anything wrong, but this pregnancy has been the worst..... I went from 125lbs to 180lbs.... I just want to be my regular fit and active self again and take baby on walks when I'm clear for physical activities 😩 I just want to hold and see my baby girl 😔 I also want this pain to go away.... everything just hurts

Sorry for the rant, I'm just feeling sad that people are getting my hopes up, telling me I gained a lot of weight/look blown up, and having my family and others say I need to walk even though I try.... if my pregnancy was easy and a lot smoother I would still be teaching Zumba classes and working out up until i wouldn't be able to 😰
