discomfort and anxiety are getting Unbearable

im 34w2d and the discomfort is just Unbearable... i cry and cry nothing relieves it! my back and ribs are numb all the time the hip pain/pressure could kill a small horse. i feel like i just cant take much more! how am i supposed to make it another 6 weeks????

im worried about the pump stopping tomorrow becuase its been a sort of security blanket thus far but at the same time im hoping this means i will have my in just 2weeks!

the anxiety has hit an all time high i dont know how everyone does it! the thought of giving brith is making me and i think its because all i do all day is sit and think "how is she supposed to get out into this world when im such a big chicken", "will i make it to the hospital in time to get the epi?", "will this all happen when dh is at work?"

ok daily rant over! thanks for listening!

Re: discomfort and anxiety are getting Unbearable

I understand all the conflicting feelings as well as the anxiety...here are some and I hope some of your back and rib pain is alleviated soon!

Re: discomfort and anxiety are getting Unbearable

Your not alone! I feel that way and I'm only 20 weeks and I have had a baby and Im still anxious every day.

All I can say is take it one day at a time till it is here and once it's D day, the excitement of the day will take over and a lot of the anxiety will pass, I can almost promise that.

Many hugs

If it makes you feel any better, the last few weeks of my pregnancy with DS #1 were torture...I was in pain all the time from his position (he was so low that I could feel him head butting my cervix all day..). My back killed as well as my hips and I was so upset.

However, having him was the easy part! My labor was easy, instant relief from all the discomfort and I remember thinking "so THIS is what having a baby is like" and wondering why people made it out to be so hard, lol. I think going through a lot at the end is worse to tell you the truth and I pray you have a nice easy experience.

Don't get too worked up over delivery. You will be just fine and your little girl will be here in no time!!!!
