OK, is anyone else too uncomfortable to be excited?

Question

I've got bronchitis which is certainly not making it easier to breath. But also nausea and diarrhea (sorry for the TMI) on top of swolled ankles and generally being huge. I guess I just thought I'd be more excited at 37 weeks. But I find myself just looking forward to being able to breath.

Answer

Ugh. Yes. I told myself I was going to try harder to be more positive this week than I was last week, but then I went to work all day and now I just want to cry. 😩 And then of course the minute I walk through the door my husband is b*tching about this and that and I just want to punch him.

Answer

My excitement is centered around just not being pregnant anymore. There's some baby excitement in there somewhere but it's in the background. I'm really to not feel miserable every second of the day. Uncomfortable doesn't even seem to cover it anymore. Literally from my head to my feet something is awry. I'd like to lay in bed and relax but that's too uncomfortable as well! Im just done. So done. And just past 36 weeks.

One word: hemorroids. 😭

Answer

I'm right there with you. My mom came over yesterday and told me how sad I'm going to be when I'm not pregnant any more. I was like I can't sleep because every inch of my body hurts, I pee every other second, my feet are swollen and hurt, I can't clip my toe nails or shave my legs, it's a chore to go from sitting to standing, I have heartburn no matter what I eat so even though I'm starving I can only eat a few bites, every time I move I get really strong BH contractions, and I'm on bed rest because of my contractions. I am just ready to hold my little nugget and be a mom. I will keep doing what I have to do to get him here as healthy as possible, but I really don't think I will miss being pregnant.

Answer

I have mixed feelings. I want to meet my baby asap and be able to function like I used to but then I am like this will be the last couple weeks that I can feel him inside my bump. Once he is out I will miss the fun time watching his movement inside my belly or see him on an ultrasound or imagine how cute he will look. I will just focus on this unique time we spend together. :-)

Answer

I have a sick 1ur old and I'm 33 weeks and getting her cold I can't breath and gag when I try to eat :'(

Answer

I'm 33 weeks and over it. Although she's been measuring 3 weeks early and I didn't find out until my last appt 2 weeks ago. So idk if they plan to adjust my due date now or what. But my back is killing me. My hips hurt. The heartburn is killing me. I don't sleep. I pee a million times. I love my daughter and this is so worth it but I just want her here.
