I pit pregnancy. I know I’m going to get posters saying things like “well you should have thought of that before you got knocked up. You been through this before did you know how about it was going to be?” Yeah yeah I know all that, but that doesn’t make it any less crappy and miserable. I’m in the last month and everything freaking hurts. My lower back hurts, my sides hurt, and I have to pee every 30 minutes. I am so ready to be done with this. One of the worst things is the fact that I work full time and I’m still expected to do everything I did before with about half the energy. I’m basically just whining because I’m tired of it. Why can’t we just bud like yeast or split our cells in half like amoebas ?
Poor thing. How long until you’re scheduled to deliver?
Sending psychic pickles and gravy your way.
well you should have thought of that before you got knocked up. You been through this before did you know how about it was going to be?
4Wks
And thanks!
Lolz…:stink eye:
Well, April R, at least your baby will have an amazing mom. 
If by amazing you mean crazy 
thanks
Ugh! I feel your pain, even though it’s been 15 yrs since I was where you are. I hated being pregnant. I know some women are all happy, energetic and glowing throughout their pregnancies. My best friend, who was pregnant at the same time as I was (kids are 2 weeks apart) was like that. Plus she delivered early and I was late! I hate women like that. I still kind of hate her sometimes.
Hope you’re able to get some relief and some rest. Here hope for an easy, uncomplicated delivery.
Amazing, crazy moms are the BEST! (just ask my kid, he seems to think so)
Rant away. The discomfort of the last weeks is the only way nature gets us looking forward to labor.
Don’t you have twins at home, too? Or am I mixing you up with another pregnant Doper? If you’re the one with twins, ugh, that can’t be easy. If you’re not the one with twins, cheer up. It could be worse. You could have twins at home, too.
No, that would be an amusing mom.
I feel for you April. I hope the next few weeks go by quickly for you.
Thanks. I definitely don’t get women who love being pregnant.
my mom said the same thing to me about the last few weeks. The twins are in daycare right now most of the day M-F. When they are home they have been really good for me. I think they sense my discomfort.
lol
Thanks!
I absolutely LOVED being pregnant. My skin was at it’s clearest, I didn’t have too much trouble with food aversions, I gained very little weight in relation to the size of my babies, I felt beautiful.
Until that last month. Can’t sleep, pee all the time, every joint loose and aching, baby weighing a ton, and no room to breathe at all. Baby picks ONE SPOT to roll on or kick or gouge and it HURTS. And you get HOT HOT HOT. I had my kids in January and March and almost melted down, I don’t see how women survive summer deliveries.
Hang in there, gal, you’ll get through it! {{{{{April R}}}}}
Anyone can complain about pregnancy all they want, as far as I’m concerned. I don’t think I could have handled working full time at the end!
Boy or girl?
The third trimester of pregnancy and the teenage years are natures way of getting you to say “I don’t care how much this hurts, just get it over with.”
I am having a Girl.
Also I really feel guilty complaining when I think about how hard some women try to get pregnant and never do or who lose babies. I feel like a jerk when I realize I have two healthy children and another on the way and I am bitching about back pain.
Thanks for the sympathy everyone
Wasn’t there a worry a few weeks back about a possible too-early delivery? If so, glad you’re past that anxiety.
And yes, you are entitled to complain. Anyone who’s never been kicked in the bladder from the INSIDE has noooo idea. None.
Just keep reminding yourself that this whole situation was voluntary.
So the Zucchini is still cooking eh? Good news! But almost time to move on, Zuke.
Thanks MLS ans Gigi. She is almost fully baked by now.
And I would argue about the voluntary part lol
