May Mommy Check-In

Just wondering how everyone is doing. It's getting closer........

I am HUGE (think Jessica Simpson)..can't sleep well...and still have pain when i walk. First pregnancy was sooo much better than this one..I'm already so done..can't wait to have this baby, lose weight and be on maternity leave!

Re: May Mommy Check-In

OMG...literally 10 minutes ago I had the same exact conversation with a coworker.

I am DONE. I did not give in this early with my first pregnancy (I'm 31 weeks). I'm just done with feeling huge. My energy level has taken a huge hit in the last week or so. I still try to get to the gym but I'm losing steam there as well and it's kinda pointless. The NYC subway system bites the big one when you're 31 weeks preggo. My darling lil DD is as sweet as pie, but driving me bonkers lately just b/c I feel so uncomfy (and I'm stressing that I will soon have two little ones!).

I want a happy healthy baby....and then I want sushi, wine on my deck, summer dresses, an ice cold beer, to be able to sleep on my belly...all in that order. lol.

And on top of it all, this time I am PETRIFIED of labor and delivery so I'm actually losing the little sleep I can get over worrying about it.

Ahh, that felt good. Thanks! lol.

You can add me to the "I'm over it club." 32 weeks and the end just feels so far away.

I went to the mall yesterday for an hour, and I had to really concentrate to get back to my car because my back hurt and I was so tired.

Commuting stinks and I'm tired of people at work pretending that I'm not going to be on maternity leave in the near future.

It's my first, and while I appreciate the mountain load of advice everyone is giving me, my patience is wearing thin for people who keep saying things like, "oh, you're going to HATE that thing you bought," and how wrong I am about some of my choices.

I'm praying, praying, praying for an early baby.

Thank you for letting me vent!!

Re: May Mommy Check-In

Still on bed rest. Hoping and praying, my early May baby with be an April baby! I am very uncomfortable and I say I am done everyday! I can't wait to be myself again and stop complaining!

Re: May Mommy Check-In

33 weeks this week and feeling pretty big. Walking is a bit of a pain because I feel SO much pressure when I walk.

Last week was kind of awful all around. But this weekend I got my 2nd wind and felt MUCH better (I also rested and slept more so I think that made a HUGE difference).

I'm PRAYING for a full term baby (after you have a preemie, it's hard to wish for it to be over soon because it was over too soon the first time). I want to make it to 37 weeks and anything after that is great. I actually hope I go until the first week of May, although PHYSICALLY I am sure I will be more than ready for baby to come before then lol!

Re: May Mommy Check-In

29 weeks and I'm so exhausted! Everything is an effort. Chasing after my 19 months is really hard. I'm hoping to get my c-sec date next week. I'm also getting steroids for my shortening cervix.

Re: May Mommy Check-In

I am still doing okay... This little girl has been treating me pretty well I def dont feel "done" yet, but ask me again in another week hehe

Woke up with the most intense calf cramp of my life... Didnt like that one bit... I think I scarerd DH half to death with my moaning in agony...

Had my shower yesterday, but waiting to get some pics before I make a post about it... In a nutshell, I was literally exhausted and barely ate bc I had wayyy too many gifts to open... So thoughtful but so very overwhelming!

Re: May Mommy Check-In

At 31 weeks, Im feeling pretty well and especially grateful. This is my first pregnancy so not sure if that has something to do with it. The hardest part Im having is sleeping. I cant get comfortable so Im up every hour or 2 switching sides and its a lot harder to roll over these days! LOL

Re: May Mommy Check-In

33 and a half weeks here and yups done too.

i only have one full day of work left and then another week and a half at half days.
work says they are supportive...but i am still getting more work even when i insist on a 30 min break to eat and put feet up so i am pizzzzed!!!

my gestational diabetes is getting worse which blows so have to add more medicine.

they r probably going to induce by 39 weeks bc of the diabetes so my may 3 most likely will be april.

i am also starting to have panic attacks again...which are sooooo scary!!!

i dont want to fast forward too much but all this discomfort and anxiety is sooo much at times!

Re: May Mommy Check-In

31 weeks this week and feeling pretty good. I still have sciatica, numbness in my finger tips, losing circulation in my arms and legs, bad taste in mouth but, over all pretty good,lol.
Just got back from the 3 hr glucose test and praying they come back saying I passed!!!
My shower is this weekend and my sprinkle with my LIW girls will be the following week, cant wait. 2 more weeks of work and Im done

Re: May Mommy Check-In

In my 33rd wk and things are going well still. Exhaustion is definitely a factor now though, I dont know how you ladies that already have children do it. Nursery is nearly finished, just some small touches left. I did fall down a few of my stairs over the weekend, baby and I are fine just very scary. My ankle is bothering me a little and my knee is skinned up but it definitely could have been much worse. Glad to see everyone is hanging in there, it wont be long now

Re: May Mommy Check-In

doing great. Pregnancy agrees with me and this is my first. A bit tired at times, breathless and I haven't gained too much weight.

I am 29 weeks....talk to me next week when pregnacy hormone hits again. LOL

Re: May Mommy Check-In

33 1/2 weeks and I'm getting there. A bit tired and sorta ready to be done with work however that wont be happening, im working till the bitter end. Dr. has decided to do a C-section on hte 26th of April so not to much further.

Re: May Mommy Check-In

33 weeks this week and I am SO done! Last pregnancy I was late and could've went another few weeks if I had to!

This baby is so incredibly active and downright painful at times when it kicks and moves around. So odd because I have an anterior placenta and thought that meant I wouldn't feel much

Re: May Mommy Check-In

I'm in my 32nd week with . I am quite large! It is getting very difficult to go up and down stairs and just walk for any length of time. The pressure is starting to get uncomfortable. My dr said I may go into labor as early as 34 weeks because I am only 4'11" and there is only so much space for the twins to grow.
I can't wait to sleep on my stomach again!!!

Re: May Mommy Check-In

oh this thread just made me feel so much better!! i'm 32 weeks on Thursday with my second and am sooo done!!! I was done around 23 weeks I think lol. It was not this hard the first time around
