hopefulmomtobe wrote: I know I am only 21 weeks, but I have grown SOO much these past couple of weeks that I am freaking miserable! I can't breath, I can't sleep, my right hip hurts sooo bad that it is making me walk funny, I am swollen as all get out and I can't hardly eat much of anything because I get full too fast..even if I drink something before dinner then I am too full for dinner. I just am simply ready to get this over with!!!!

I just am seriously miserable and just want to complain and you guys have to read it!!! jk...no really, I am miserable!

The baby is kicking and it doesnt even get me excited anymore, it is more like a feeling of....nooo more kicking.....no more back aches, no more swelling...I am done!!!

Just think of how I will be at 36 weeks...oh man, I can't even imagine! I wasn't like this with my other kids, I was excited about being pregnant.

I see the doctor today and normally I am excited about my appts but I just really dont even care anymore about them. What do you guys think about the way I am feeling? Please, dont think I am crazy...I am reaching out here.

hopefulmomtobe replied: I guess I am the only one that feels this way. Maybe it is just the way I am feeling today and tomorrow I will be better. I didn't even want to get out of bed this morning and it is sunny and 73 outside! Gorgeous day, but maybe this feeling will pass. I wonder if I am starting to get sick or something.

Boo&BugsMom replied: You are not alone! I have felt this way the last two months. This baby is kicking my butt. My son was a breeze, this one is a PITA! My legs have been giving me a lot of problems, my left hip is always hurting compared to your right side, and I have massive pelvic pain lately. I'm almost done and I am counting down the days. I just want to enjoy him OUTSIDE of me!

3xsthefun replied: Oh, hon! You are not the only one!

I hate to say it but I have not felt that excited about this pregnancy. I loved my pregnancies with both of the girls, but this one it is just like...blah..wish it would just end. When he kicks it feels like he is going come right through my belly. I think it is neat to see him moving from the outside though, much earlier then the other two times.

My lower back has being hurting some the last week or so now. I also have no energy at all. I moped our living room and kitchen earlier and that just wore me out.

Oh, and making 100 trips to the bathroom to pee is starting to get old too!

Sometimes I just wish June would hurry up and get here already!

hopefulmomtobe replied: OH shewwww, you guys made me feel a lot better because I was starting to think that I was having some mental issues with not being excited with the pregnancy. Poor baby, it isnt his fault.

Thank you guys SOO much!!!!!

boyohboyohboy replied: hey! i am sorry I didnt read your post till now. I wish I could have given you some comfort this am....I do know how you feel to. I have felt like man I wanted this baby so bad, why am I not happier...but its hard being preg. and we just have those days..
I sure hope yours is getting better.
all I can offer is a

hopefulmomtobe replied:
You know, I really think that is all I need too...I just need a hug today. I wanted my pregnancy so bad too and was all happy up until this week for whatever reason. And just to think...I will only get bigger and my issues will only get worse. Oh joy...I cant wait!

Boo&BugsMom replied:
I have met a lot of women who feel this way after they have one child. It's just different. Not bad, just different. For me, part of it is I just want him out so I can enjoy him and get on with life as a larger family. I think I'm just getting impatient because I've already felt everything once before. Now that it's the "been there done there" kind of feeling, I just want to have my baby in my arms. It's the baby itself I am looking forward to, not the whole pregnancy. Not sure if that makes sense.

hopefulmomtobe replied:
Yep, that makes sense. I am excited to see the baby and see what he looks like, so yea..I think it is the whole pregancy and the upcoming weeks that is the problem...I think it is the whole "been there done that" like you said is the problem. I am not excited about labor and delivery, granted all three of mine were natural births, my first was a big boy and he took a while to deliver but my daughter..I labored at home until I was 9cm and then walked in, had her 20 mintues later (best delivery in the world!) My youngest I was induced and he came about 2 hours later (hard quick delivery..2 pushes...done)

So, this one I think I am going to do the epi, fast deliveries are nice, but they are definatly stronger contractions you have to deal with too.

I will be ok I think...I am just freaking out today. I leave in about 20 minutes for my appt and am actually getting excited, so that is good.

Glad I am not the only one feeling this way....

HuskerMom replied: I understand. I was pretty miserable the whole nine months. I was always so jealous of the women who loved being pregnant cuz I just didn't. I didn't understand why other women loved it and I didn't but I guess it's just different for other people. Hang in there and just remember what you get at the end

hopefulmomtobe replied: I feel A LOT better today! I think maybe I didnt get enough sleep the night before and it just made me miserable all day. Well - last night I kicked poor dh out of the bed (he snores sooo bad) and made him sleep in the babys room (there is a twin bed in there) Boy o Boy - I got some much needed rest and woke up ready to go at 6am. Normally I get up at 6:30 crabby and not wanting to go to work, so I think I found my solution...kicking out hubby. hee hee

Boo&BugsMom replied:
I'll have to try that!

MotherForever2043 replied: You're not the only one! Ugghhhh This preganancy is definetly not fun. he kicks me ALL THE TIME! I can tell he's going to be lazy All he wants me to do is sleep. But hey, he's just a baby Oh yeah, I am huge. At least I think so. I promise i'll post some pics next week. I hope you feel better

My2Beauties replied: Hon don't beat yourself up over that, because I can honestly raise my hand and say I'm right there with ya. As I speak this baby is kicking me half to death, she does it day and night and never ever takes a rest! LOL! She's a live one! On a serious note, what Tannerbug's Mom was saying, I feel the same way with this pregnancy. I've been there, done that with everything, nothing is new and I'm not as excited about the actual being pregnant, I'm much more excited about what comes afterwards. I will admit I feel more of a bond this time around, because with Hanna I didn't know what to expect with a new baby and I was scared half to death, with this one I know (mostly) of what to expect and I know how to care for a newborn and I'm just wanting this baby to get here so I can hold her and have this pregnancy over with I'm miserable more than ever this time around. I cleaned 2 rooms today and felt like I'd been in a boxing match with Mike Tyson. Yesterday I took a 3 hour nap and was still tired a couple hours later enough to go to bed and sleep all night So, this baby IS kicking my butt! You're not alone! Hang in there hon, it'll fly by.
