As of yesterday, I am 38 weeks pregnant. I know I shouldn't complain since I have 2 weeks until my due date. But darnit, I'm going to complain anyway.
I'm just READY to have this baby.
I'm huge.
I'm swollen.
I keep throwing up.
I think my tail bone is dislocated, as I have an annoying "clicking" with every step.
My back hurts. A lot.
I have false/prodromal labor ALL.THE.TIME. Contractions strong enough to make me grimace and wake me up at night. Yet, the moment I start to think "this could be it!" - they stop. Damnit!
I'm sore all over from said contractions.
I sleep like crap. Restless leg syndrome. And it hurts to sleep on my left side now, which is the ONLY way I can sleep.
I'm cranky. REALLY cranky.
But really - I just WANT MY BABY!!!!!!! I cannot wait to meet her. I honestly never thought I'd be pregnant this long. And now, I feel like there is no end in sight!
I know... no woman has ever been pregnant forever. It could happen any minute. But that is little consolation these days.
The not-pregnant me would get annoyed with a 38-week pregnant woman whining the way I do. But, hey - its my right to be hypocritical!
Ok, whine over. Back to work. Must keep my mind busy...
So crazy you wrote this because I have a post ready to go and it is quite similar to this one...haha! Congrats on 38 weeks! You are almost there; we are both almost there! It's just a misearble time right now, this week has been the worse for me too! End is near...and at the end four beautiful girls wil be here!!! Hang in there girl!
