Q: the usual pregnant woman rant

So i"m 34 weeks and miserable, actually from my last ultrasound and my measurements the Dr thinks I'm closer to 36 1/2 weeks, but for whatever reason they wont change my due date...either way I've officially become a miserable pregnant woman. I haven't slept in I don't even know how many days...I don't understand insomnia and how someone can be so exhausted and still can't sleep...either way that's me. yep still throwing up at least once or twice a day...usually in the nights and evenings, and sometimes I think I could kill my husband for absolutely no reason...poor guy. I'm still working although i think everyone here is afraid of me cause i'm so on edge...kinda feel like I could erupt into tears at any given second for absolutely no reason. Now I know these last few weeks are the toughest but good lord I don't think I'm gonna make it...unless I can somehow crawl in a dark room alone and stay there for the remainder of my pregnancy...there's gotta be someway I can work that out. Is it bad I'm hoping for my baby to come early so this will all be over with? Ok pregnant woman rant is over...thanks for listening. Confused

Oh I hear ya! From what I gather, what you are experiencing is normal. I have the same urge to crawl into a cave and hide. Everything I read warned me about the 3rd trimester mood swings....but they didn't tell me I'd want to pack my bags and run away from it all. I'm 30 weeks but measuring 34 weeks according to fundal height...and it's not fun when everyone that looks at you asks if you are having twins. Don't get me wrong....it took me 2.5 years and IVF to get to this stage, I'm very grateful to be pregnant, but I can really identify with feeling miserable even though I'm grateful Smile

hang in there sistah.

OH MY GOSH!! Your so right I almost killed a lady at the grocery store last weekend for insisting I was having twins, I got the look of death in my eye after explaining to her for the 3rd time NO i wasn't having twins...I mean god I've only gained 18lbs, all baby and yes I have a basketball under my shirt but when people say that I don't think they realize how hurtful it is. To bad it's not in our baby budget for me to just rent a hotel room away from everybody for the next few weeks until the baby comes. They should suggest that to first trimester moms so they can start preparing and save up.

Ask any woman who is pregnant or has ever been pregnant, there is always some lady at the grocery store, someone's mother, SOMEONE who will tell them how huge they are and how they look like they are going to have twins. Its like the big pregnancy joke that is not funny to anyone who is pregnant.
