Pregnancy Misery

I am 36 weeks pg and soo miserable.  I can't sleep, I have this sinus thing going on  & my eyes are soo dry and have to keep switching positions all nite or my hips and shoulder and back will hurt.  My H wants to "cuddle" I want him off me so I can breath....We haven't had sex in forever.  I suggested we try it yesterday maybe it would help get things started but noooo...he said he didn't want ta december baby cuz his b-day would be too close to x-mas every year.  I feel like my skin is going to split wide open, I have no energy cuz everything takes twice as long and is twice as much effort now.  I can't even remember what it felt like to be normal..I miss regular pants!!   I know it does no good to complain but I figured maybe somebody here could relate.  I am also sick of this whole x-mas thing I still have lots of shopping to do and don't want to do it. I am now weasring H sweaters cuz even my maternity tops feel tight.but my ex-H is coming for x-mas and will be taking my 6 year old off my hands for 2 weeks...yay.  Now when baby moves sometimes it really hurts!!  It's pretty tight quarters in there he squirms more than kicks now.  I'm also tired of hear...Wow u look ready to pop....how more days do u have???..my favorite...You look soo miserable!!  I am.  but I thought o post cuz it is too quiet in here and somebodies gotta relate...

I am new to this site. but wanted to see if I could be of some help. I was 38 weeks on Wed. I was having alot of hip pain during the night and couldn't sleep at all for having to change positions. I started putting a pillow in between my legs and that made things much better so that is something you guys could try who are dealing with that neausance. Good luck.

When I originally responded I was MORE miserable than I am now.. Weird.. I still wake up every hour-couple of hours to pee, but I am ok.. I think I have adjusted AND I think having lots of time off this past week due to the holidays which allowed me to sleep has helped tremendously!  I guess I will get back to you in a day or 2 w. a better update! =)

Ok, when I posted the first time, I was not that miserable...well, amazing what a few weeks can do!  I can't sleep - I have no idea of when my baby sleeps since I feel her ALL the time!  Which is very reassuring :) but man, its like she's saying  "get me out of here!"

Indigestion is really bad now.  I swear, I burp in my sleep!  Plus, my hip joints ache so much!  

I am so READY to have this baby!

I'm just laughing thinking of the first irritating pregnancy symptoms and how I was SO excited and so happy to have them!! Just so happy to be pregnant! :)  I think we all felt like that and now after 9 months we are just "done" and total complainers!!  LOL

It will be all over soon ladies.. Or I mean, just beginning! Not too much longer !!

i too am wearing dh's shirts b/c nothing fits! i wear my shirts and my belly still hangs out from underneath. im constantly tossing and turning in bed trying to get comfortable without feeling like im laying on him or that my legs/hips are going to split wide apart. my oldest (4yrs) has taken complete advantage of the fact that i cant move as fast any more and it takes me longer to get up to do something...by the time i get to him to see what he's doing or to correct him, hes running away screaming 'i didn't do it!'. i cant even see my hoo-haa anymore to the point where i had to have dh assist in trimming it b/c i was convinced knomes were lost in there LOL! i still have presents to wrap and when im in line at the store or the mall i too get the 'you look ready to pop' or better yet family keeps asking me 'gosh, when you gonna have that thing? you cant get any bigger'. i dont even want to do christmas visits this year either :( BLAH!!!!

im so ready to just have him in my arms!

I can relate as well! I'm hanging in there and I am so over it as well. I'm going walking around the mall to day and maybe later have a little "fun" with dh to get things rolling. I'm 1cm dilated as of this past Monday so I'm trying my best to move things along. I'm so ready to not toss and turn all night long trying to get comfortable.
