34 Weeks Preggo and Miserable,

Stop working full time for starters if you possibly can. Rest, sleep sitting in a reclining position or on a couch, have hubby do all the cooking.housework.... hang in there, it's close though I know it doesn't feel that way!!

friend - I know EXACTLY how you feel.
You need to relax whenever you have the chance. Since you are still working, that makes it a bit harder. But, if you don't have any other children, or if your kids are a bit older...lay down as soon as you get home. Have hubby take care of dinner. Read books to your kids in your bed, talk about their day with them, whatever needs to be done, but do it laying down.
I am in my 37th week and came to my husband a couple of days ago and said, "I can't do this! I am miserable. I hurt, I sweat, I pee constantly, she is HUGE...sob!"
But we can, and we will. I am also scheduled for a C-section...and my baby is measuring 41 weeks! I thought for sure they would bump my C-section date up...but NOPE! So, I am counting down the days, 16, and laying down whenever I have the chance. We are not eating all the great, but we ARE eating!
Good Luck, L.

I find drs often say we are measuring larger./ They said that with me, last baby I was convinced would be at least 9lbs +, she was only 8.1. Pregnancy is great for some, and miserable for others, and different each time. My first 2 were easy, loved being pregnant, this last baby, I was ready to have her at 6 1/2 months. I peed my pants all the time, had vicious pelvic cramps & couldnt walk, woke with horrible leg cramps that made me actually scream. Look into a maternity belt, walmart has them for around 20 bucks. it will help lighten your load. Try to take it easy, get your feet up... It will be all done soon, and you will have your baby. Congrats!

You can do it! It just doesn't feel like it. I hated the last 4 weeks of both my pregnancies. Like you, I was huge, hot, then cold, uncomfortable, tired but couldn't sleep, anxious, excited, worried, etc. The only thing I can tell you is to grin and bear it. There's nothing you can do. 6 lbs is a small baby. I know a lot of women that have 8 or 9 lb babies.
The other thing I would do, is go schedule a prenatal massage. It will help with your sore spots (back, legs, feet, etc).
You'll make it, just take it one day at a time!

Hang in there, you are almost at the end. Rest when you can, drink plenty of water, and see if maybe you can carpool with someone so you dont have to drive anymore.

have the done a recent u/s? I went two weeks early for BP issues but an u/s before delivery showed they would have delivered me anyhow I had been complaining about how large I was..I has so much extra fluid it was crazy! I measured 43weeks when I delivered at 38weeks. It was a little work getting the induction and making sure not to have a prolapsed cord but you wont have to worry about that. I would say the earliest you would be able to squeeze in would be 38weeks and that is just one week early. I am sorry that you feel this way. I know it is miserable :(

LOL Not much you can do just make sure you are taking care of yourself. If your Dr thinks you are then with our current date for the C-Section then chances are you are fine. Just try to relax and get ready for the by.

BTW I had difficult pregnancies too so I do understand what you mean by you hurt I was miserable. Your baby will be here soon, it will go fast.

For you baby's health, hang in there. I know it sucks....believe me both of my kids came out over 10 pounds at 37 weeks so I had that miserable last month, but it is such a short time to wait compared to how long this wonderful blessing will be in your life. Hang in there! You can do it! Whenever you can just get your feet up and drink your water.
