Had to vent. Ready to deliver this baby!! (kinda long sorry)

   I am officially 2 days past my due date now, but for the last month of this pregnancy I have been slowly going more and more crazy!!  I am SO ready to have this baby!  I am so uncomfortable and my body just doesn't feel like it belongs to me anymore.  Every other night when we go to sleep, I sleep okay for about 2 hours then wake up feeling like an elephant is sitting on my chest.  I can't breathe, so I get up to catch my breath, then of course I have to go to the bathroom during this time, then I try my hardest to get into another comfortable position to go back to sleep and it just doesn't work!  My poor husband has had to deal with so much, but I would have jumped off a cliff long before now if it weren't for him! 

   Because this last month of my pregnancy has been so hard on me, it's really made me feel like a horrible person because I wanted this baby so badly and now getting through the last of it before he actually comes is driving me crazy.  I know it's just stress, especially since this is my first pregnancy, and I am really not horrible and it doesn't mean I'm going to be a bad mom; I am just ready to have him out of me now!  

It really doesn't help that 3 of my friends who were due around the same time I was (actually one having the exact same due date as myself) have all delivered their babies now and I am still pregnant and miserable.  I try to keep my spirits up by jokingly saying we "saved the best for last", but I am still just going crazy waiting for my turn to come.  My doctor said we'd wait another week after my last appointment to see if I go into labor on my own before we'd discuss inducing, and that appointment is tomorrow.  If I can just hold on until then I'll be okay and we'll finally begin a process that delivers our son!  

Sorry this was a long rant but I needed to vent!  Has anyone else gone crazy like this in their 3rd trimester or are you going crazy now??  Please let me know I'm not the only one!

This pregnancy has been the worst for me. I have HG that no medicine has been able to help with, so the only way to stop it is to have LO. My OB and my mother always ask if I am ready to not be pregnant anymore. I mean yes it is horrible to throw up 4 or more times a day, weather I have eaten or drank or not. I do not care about the other downs of pregnancy, even that my depression has flourished, but the throwing up is horrid. I also have a DS that will be 3 in April home with me everyday, needing attention. Happily he has understood that I am sick and checks with me after I get sick. I am going on 29 weeks of constant sickness. I actually got a book on HG and read about how some women even turn to termination because of not being able to deal with it. And that is what makes me keep going. Everyday that i think I just want this baby out already, I think that It is almost over, and that I need to stay strong.

Just remember, you are almost all done, and You are strong!!

I'm so sorry to hear you're having a tough time in the last few days/weeks of your pregnancy.  I can't even imagine how you feel... I'm still several months out and am already starting to feel the same way (struggling in and out of bed several times a night due to discomfort and having to pee, finding it tough to even "exist" as I used to since I now have to adjust how I sit/move/operate to accommodate this baby bump, etc.).  

I guess this is nature's way of helping us deal with our anxieties over the whole labour and delivery process, though - make the last little stretch of pregnancy as miserable as possible, and us expectant moms will be BEGGING to give birth!

I totally feel you. 36 weeks and I'm so ready to be done. I'm hosting my SIL's birthday dinner tonight and I just went to the grocery store for the first time in a couple of weeks. After all of the shopping and then loading and unloading the car, I'm wiped, having crazy BH and have swollen feet. Too bad I still have to bake the cake and make the dinner :P Whoops! Hopefully you'll feel better soon and have your LO with you!
