Overwhelmed
So I’m 39 weeks, 3 days pregnant and I’ve been having strong measurable contractions for 3 weeks! I had my bloody show a week ago. My midwife gave me some herbs to try to start labor yesterday but as it turned out it just made me really weak and dizzy and tired so I was told that I need to rest because my body is just too tired to give birth. So I rested which they’ve been recommending for about 3 weeks now... my problem is this, Im sick of wearing pjs and watching Netflix... I suddenly realized that I’ve done one fun thing in the last 3 weeks and that was a swim at the YMCA... besides that I’ve been to my midwife appointments, my moms house, and the grocery store twice... that’s it... I’m still exhausted but I’m also just discouraged, we skipped valentines which I love because I was too tired to do anything and the contractions get in the way of enjoying anything... today is my husbands birthday... I don’t even have a card or a plan or a meal for him... he’s very understanding but he’s been doing all the cooking and cleaning he even took half a day off work yesterday just because I was feeling really down... he deserves a good birthday... he was hoping for his daughter to get his birthday... but I just can’t see it happening... apparently my body won’t go into real labor until I’m rested... I guess I’d just like to hear other people’s opinions on how to pass time, how to get over this hump... what happened to other people in this situation??? This picture was back at Christmas when everyone said the baby would come early because I had so so so many Braxton Hicks. I was already exhausted, who knew it could get so much worse 😢🤷🏻♀️. I’m not trying to complain I’m very thankful to be pregnant and get to carry this little girl 👧🏻 but I’m struggling with this part of pregnancy 🤰🏼
