Is anyone else totally fed up?

Hi,
I'm 36 weeks pregnant with my 3rd baby and I've now finished work (yesterday) and I'm totally fed up with everything. I just want the baby out and to go back to being a mother again. I feel I can't do anything but be a whale (as DH says - kindly tho). Is anyone else feeling like this? I'm almost to the point I'd beg the OB to do the C section early.

I'm fed up with:

Not being able to bend at the waist
Not see my feet or put on knickers, socks, shoes
Not sleeping for any more than 45 minutes at night
Back pain
Engaged baby on my cervix, grinding away like he's making coffee beans into granules
My small bladder
BOREDOM
Despite having nothing to do all day, when the kids are back home from school I resent having to do anything for them, cos I'm knackered (and I know I sound like a bad mum)
My boobs feeling like there's a desperate need to feed someone
My hospital bag being packed and waiting in the corner of the bedroom, just WAITING.
DH insisting that I'm not going to go into labour early, even though he knows I'm desperate to
Basically anything DH says at the moment
Spotty skin, I feel like a teenager
Lovely discharge, and then I keep hoping it's my waters breaking
Bleeding gums, but knowing a gum infection could bring on early labour, but still I brush 2-3 times a day, cos I'm bored you know
Carpel tunnel in my right hand
Not being able to wear my wedding rings cos my hands have swollen, and fearing that everyone in my small village thinks I'm an unwed mum which is ridiculous cos I'm well known but still there it is.

I'm sure there's more, but now I realise I sound completely neurotic.

Feel free to add to the list of things you're totally fed up with. I can relate - as you can tell.

Have a go....It's not futile, I actually feel better having a rant on this forum doing the above, so have a go, we are a judgment-free zone here.

Take care and hugs.

This is my 1st too and I'm only 29 weeks, I am however beginning to understand why pregnancy is only for 9 months, any longer I'd go mad.

I'm only 16 weeks and hating the nausea and the heartburn, not looking forward to the last few weeks, for all those things you have listed and I am sure a couple more! Does it help to know I am envious you are nearly there tho whereas I have another 24 weeks to go?????

I thought 9 months was just fine with the other two. Now I'm nearly there is just agony waiting.

I've also had indigestion and nausea again, after it being absent since about 20 weeks. Oh the joys of late pregnancy.

All I want is to lay in a nice hot bath for the remainder of my time, sadly tho I've no bath in my bathroom, only showers. Snif snif.

OMG I totally forgot about booze...How is that possible?

I so want a glass of wine or a jog of pimms. And it seems that everyone keeps talking about booze around me. "Oh I bet you could do with a glass of wine" they say....Well yes of course I could, you bloody idiot. I feel like a whale, I have 2 demanding kids, and one on the inside stripping me of everything I have, not to mention having to move house last week with a breaking back and do my 4 year old's birthday party.

Sorry, I'm having another rant again

OMG yes!!!

Ticking all those boxes!!

- Sick of having to ask someone else to cut my toenails which are growing out of control every week or so
- Sick of waking up 8 or 9 times during the night because of the sleep apnoea I developed at the beginning of the 3rd trimester
- Sick of wanting, no *NEEDING* McDonalds then feeling guilty as hell when I give in and get me a burger in case of listeria
- Sick of being so hungry all the time, dishing up big plates then only being able to eat a couple of bites - and still getting horrid heartburn afterwards
- Sick of sleeping with 4 different pillows propping me up in different places thanks to the SPD
- Sick of people saying stupid things like 'hey, you're looking pregnant' or 'wow you're getting BIG'
- Sick of needing to cry every 2 seconds - then giggling helplessly because needing to cry every 2 seconds is ridiculous
- Sick of my son playing upside down pogo stick on my cervix - more sick of him starting to play that game at 2am
- Sick of the vag hiccups - please tell me I'm not the only one getting these??
- So over looking at ladies with babies in the mall and being jealous because they already have their babies and I still have to wait 5-7 weeks for mine
- Sick of new stretch marks appearing every second day
- Sick of getting no sleep then having to drag my tired whale ass to work - only 12 more days to go....next time I'm stopping at 32 weeks!

Dear lord Rach, what are vag hiccups?????

Ugh, specialK - I sooo hear you on the stares and opinions. I'm pregnant, not a freak!! And yes, I know my life is going to change, I knew that when I decided to get pg in the first place. And people think that because you are pregnant they have a right to comment on your size/looks/cervix.
Sick of people calling me to ask if the baby has come yet. A) if he had, I wouldn't be at home to answer the phone. B) no, mum, I would not neglect to tell you when I'm in labour.
And yay, now my feet look as though I have elephantitis.
Mmmmm a nice glass of wine would be so nice....*sigh*.

God love you Rach, I'm so sorry about the vag hiccups but thankfully I don't have to deal with that, but the baby hiccups I have about 8 times a day. I am constantly checking my pad to see if my waters have broken but I haven't had that characteristic popping sound or the sudden rush in a big way. I even had the OB checking the membranes today, which are confirmed as still intact    I also sympathise with the toenail cutting, mine seem to be growing at a rate of knots. Oh and also about the plates of food. I make a normal size one then am full after only 4 bites.

I also tried to do something nice with the kiddies, making cupcakes cos I'm not going to be able to do much of that after bubs is born, but after 1/2 an hour and sh*t loads of washing up I just felt resentful that they had chosen to make the icing some horrible flavour I couldn't stand. I've now been a grotbag for the last 3 hours and it's starting to wear even me a bit thin

Oh god, i have all this to look foward too.

Im just so sick of going into shoe stores, seeing all the beautiful new seasons heels and having to carefully coach myself to buy the flats. And that empire waists seem to be going out of fashion...boo.

Im really sick of the baby being on my siatic nerve, i am going to cut my leg off if the pain doesnt get better, i swear.
