At the end...check-in and encouragement needed

My countdown says 16 days. My body alternates between saying "GET THIS KID OUT!" and "it's not so bad right now". I am still working full time (commuting an hour each way in the car) and trying to keep up with the house. I seriously don't know if I can make it sometimes. My body is alternating between a decent night of sleep and 1-2 nights of practically no sleep.

I am trying so hard NOT to complain, but it's just getting rough and my patience is running out. I want to meet her already! I am also a control freak and not knowing when I am going to go into labor is driving me nuts!

Sorry for the vent, DH just doesn't want to hear it anymore.

Anyone else feel this way?

Re: At the end...check-in and encouragement needed

My countdown says 21 days, but since its twins I'm really at the "any day now" point.

I totally feel ya. As a SAHM I am somehow managing DS, laundry, cooking, cleaning on most days. But on my bad days...they are BAD.

I know it is easier to take care of them in the womb, and this is definitely my last pregnancy so I'd hate to complain and "wish it away" but overall, I'm fried!!!

Hang in there, we can do this together

Re: At the end...check-in and encouragement needed

I totally feel for you. I never sleep anymore and it seems the simplest things take me even longer. I'm done. It's getting heavy at this point and very uncomfortable. It's torture getting through a day of work and I'm trying to go to my due date. I'm so ready for this to be over and I still have 26 days!!!!

Re: At the end...check-in and encouragement needed

My countdown says 2 days 8 hours so I am DONE!!!!

I stopped working this past week which was good because the commute was killing me, but I swear I think I would have had this baby already if I was still working - lol! I seriously haven't slept in months and my back is killing me. Did I mention that I am done

My countdown says 31 days and I feel exactly the same way! Between working and trying to keep up with household duties - its a lot. I hardly sleep at night and it really sucks. And my self control when it comes to food has become non-existent! Im hoping to have my LO sooner than later.

My countdown is 16 days and I just wanna cry knowing I have to go to work tomorrow. Thank god this is my last week before leave. I am so swollen my knees hands and ankles are killing me and on top of it I feel like I'm getting a cold :(. My house is a disaster so I cant wait to nest already!

Sorry I'm not very encouraging at all.

Re: At the end...check-in and encouragement needed

I'm at 10 days and I'm officially on maternity leave (starting tomorrow). I have such mixed emotions - I'm all over the place! So many things changing all at once! Best of luck to everyone! ALMOST THERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: At the end...check-in and encouragement needed

Thanks ladies! Although I am not happy that you guys are as uncomfortable as I am.....I am happy that I'm not alone.

The countdown is on!

Re: At the end...check-in and encouragement needed

I am at 22 days from my c/s and let me tell you I am a complaining mess now! You are not alone! I do great in terms of going with the flow up until my last month, then I hit my wall and I am just DONE. Same thing happened with DS.

I am a SAHM too, Out of 7 days I would say 4 I am just too tired worn out to do anything! I am not ready in any way for this baby to come, and even though this is my last pregnancy I am counting down big time!

Dont feel bad and feel free to complain away!!

I'm at Countdown 4 Days 16 Hours....and it trully feels like FOREVER and a half!!!!!!!!! id have a feeling that this kid will be hibernating for a while!!!1

Re: At the end...check-in and encouragement needed

I have 10 days left and I am really over pregnancy. Everything takes so much energy that I feel like I can only do one thing a day (supermarket OR clean the kitchen - definitely not both, lol). I over analyze each ache and pain hoping it is labor. I really hope to go into labor before my DD.

Re: At the end...check-in and encouragement needed

I have 13 days to go and I am so done
I don't rem what sleep is - so I might as well have the baby now anyway!!
My back is so uncomfy and I feel that it gets ahrder and harder to do things as the day goes on. I want this week to pass quickly and to finish what I need to do to prepare for Lo and then can feel free to come at anytime starting on Saturday!
I also wish I could be on leave from work now but I want to spend as much time with LO as possible.
