I have to admit that I am officially tired of being pregnant. This pregnancy was pretty easy up to a few weeks ago when my pelvis started to really hurt. I was tired and got tired quickly and I had sciatic nerve problems but the Chiro helped with that…
If it wasn’t for this Pelvis pain I would be OK… still tired maybe but not as much as now… The worst times for me is when I am laying down, so the bed actually looks like my enemy… I can’t sleep because I hurt too much, I can’t twist and turn because the pain is excruciating… So I stay in the same position all night and just doze lightly… when I need to finally move I have to go really slowly onto my back… I can’t roll because my pelvis is locked into place so I have to lift myself up a bit to turn and then once I am on back I have to release all of my muscles and wait until I hear a big pop in my pelvis and then I can finish turning or get up… of course the first minutes up are so hard also…
My mom is going to be giving me her old couch soon and a big arm chair… it was supposed to be here this weekend but it didn’t happen… but if I am still pregnant when we get it I think I will be sleeping in that for the rest of the time…
Also, since Thursday or Friday the baby is in weird positions nd I haven’t had as many contrax… it doesn’t move much but when it does it changes position… sometimes it’s back is on the left, sometimes on the right, sometimes even posterior for a while and often it is oblique and resting its head on either side of my hip… I thought it had started to engage for a while but it doesn’t seem to have happened now and it is just turning and turning and I don’t think that I will go into labour soon, but really… I just don’t know…
Really.. I am just tired of being pregnant, I can’t wait to hold the new babe in my arms… I can’t wait for Simon to be home with us so that we can all take the time to relax and recuperate. I hope so much that this pain will stop after the babe is born… I need to be able to lay down again and relax my body instead of being in pain…
I know perfectly well that the babe will come when the babe is ready and there is no way that I would risk rushing it… but the last weeks are hard…
I hear ya mama, I really do. I’m convinced this baby has dropped into my pelvis since my uterus is now several inches lower and I have SO much pressure in my cervix that I can hardly walk or change positions and (sorry if TMI) if I sit on the toilet I feel a little drop/rolling WAY down low. Despite all this baby is still turning to face one side or the other and is OP for a few seconds from time to time. Don’t worry yourself about it, I’m not, well, not much. I just really want to take a nap but can’t get comfortable, and I also can’t roll over in bed without having to do the on the back pause to get to the other side, and of course when I wake up I have to pee like crazy so I’m struggling to get out of bed and step over the cats that lurk in the hall trying to kill me by running underfoot in the darkness…soon we’ll have newborns demanding attention 24/7 and will wish we were still pregnant. =)
I don’t mind the newborn demands… co-sleeping is great for that and baby wearing also… I really love the newborn stage… 🙂
Me too…especially with my toddler’s new toddle-esque habits. =)r
