36 weeks... I'm done...

Alright so it's my first pregnancy, and my pregnancy has been pretty easy (aside from losing my job, moving in with my in-laws and having no luck finding a job...) IM JUST ABOUT OVER IT! No sleep, itchy, back pains and I've gained alot of weight (about 65lbs) I feel uncomfortable and useless :/ I'm ready to have our baby girl... anyone else going through some rough times during their pregnancy???

As for living with parents and that whole situation, it's hard. My in laws are great but it's a bunch of adults living in one house, you're prego and they like things the way the do, they want money, there's little space and privacy. It *****. I can tell you that Danny (my husband) and I got into it the other night cause I felt so uncomfortable living here and was so frustrated with this whole situation. But it's gonna be alright, everything has a way of working out one way or another. All I know is I made it a goal to get back to work asap and move.

Hahaha all of this makes me feel better to know I'm not alone... we know we're not alone but sometimes we feel like it... except happimom87, girl your name says it all!!! Good for you <3 to be honest, pregnancy in general is just hard like you said above, bending over, putting on shoes, shaving your vag ahahaha we rrally do sacrifice alot but it's all good.

I'm having a girl, due April 14th. We're excited and one thing I can say is my husband is a ******* gem, and I'm thankful for that. He could be some ******* who never wants to see his kid... I complain alot but sometimes talking with other people in similar situations makes me feel better. :) thanks ladies!

Yup having a very rough time! Had to move back in with my parents who are constant drama my fiance is taking classes for another job that will take a while so I had to get help from the government.with the situation at hand my parents don't have room for both me and my fiance because all they care about is rent money that we dont have right now I am still in college without a job myself until I finish in another year. I'm just trying to stay as positive as I can but it's very hard not to worry about my fiance I guess I just need to be supportive and pray he lands this job in a couple months before the baby is here and endure my crazy controlling parents for the sake of my little girl on the way on top of all of that is the aches and pains and sleepless nights. Lord please guide me on the right path because I'm so over this!!

Oh gosh, that's horrible! I have to take iron every day also. And then colace and miralax to counteract the effects of it. I also get monitored alot with the NST b.c baby boy likes to not move and scare me for a cpl days, and then as soon as the monitor goes on he goes nuts! Only 3 more wks though

I'm 35 weeks and this is my first pregnancy. I have gained 45 pounds, I have horribe sciatica nerve pain and pelvic girdle pain, I have a lot of very strong Braxton Hicks contractions so I am constantly timing them, I am anemic and if I do not take my iron pills at the exact same time every morning, at lunch, and every night, I will pass out within 30 minutes. Baby girl decided to play opossum for three days and sent me to the hospital only to find out everything is fine! So now I have two doctor's appointments a week and have to be hooked up to the NST monitor for an hour at each appointment. Oh, and she is measuring so big that the hospital is requiring me to be induced at 39 weeks... so at least there's only 4 more weeks to go! Lol, but yes, you're definitely not the only one :)

I'm having a boy, this is my first. What about you? I tried sex too but it's impossible. I've been walking, squatting, pineapples, nipple stimulation, nothing is making the contractions regular. I can't wait for my dr apt on wed to see if anything is going on down there!

LORD.... hahaha sorry to hear that, sounds rough. I lost what i thought was the plug last week, but apparently it doesn't mean much Not many contractions (at least none I can really say are, but then again I have NO IDEA what to look for) Are you having a girl or boy? Do you have any other children?

Yes! I'm 36+2 and completely over it. Been having contractions for almost 3 wks but they aren't doing anything, will be regular for an hr and then totally stop for a day. Since Nov I've had 2 sinus infections, pneumonia that hospitalized me for 9 days, 2 kidney infections, the flu, bronchitis and an infection in my chest that hospitalized me for 3 days. Can this be over yet?!?!
