How ya feeling lady?

[joolz]

Yeah! How are you?? So close, I can't wait to see pictures of the little creature!

[sewf]

Sorry! Just saw this!

Ugh. Don't want to scare everyone, but the end sucks! I had a pretty good pregnancy, but the last month blows. I have been very lucky not to have any major problems, but I'm just SO uncomfortable. At this point, I am ready to give birth just to be able to get comfortable in bed. I know I will be sleeping in shorter bursts, but at least I will be able to get comfy. And my ribs hurt so bad from being kicked all the time. And heartburn - ugh.

I am very excited to meet my baby! And have my own body back! I used to laugh when my friends would say that being pregnant is like having an alien live in your body, but it really is!

Thanks for asking! I will be having my membranes swept on Wednesday, and if that doesn't work, I will be induced on Sunday, so at least there is a definite end in sight!

Glad there is an end in sight! Good luck this week. I'm definitely not looking forward to the last few weeks.

Glad to hear there is a plan in place! GL mama! Try to rest as much as possible.

[winecheery]

GL! Sorry you're so uncomfortable. Almost done tho!

I feel kinda bad for complaining, because some women want so badly to be pregnant. And I am excited about being a mommy (even though it's scary). It's just the last few weeks that is really tough to just make it through.

My doctor said "the reason the last few weeks are so hellish is so that women will willingly go through the pain of childbirth just to get pregnancy over with." I laughed then, but he's totally right.

I just keep thinking, if teenagers can do this, so can I! Probably not the best thing to think about, but it's helping me through.

Aww hang in there!

Ha! I tell myself that if Pamela Anderson of all people had two kids at home in a bathtub without drugs, surely I can push out a baby in a hospital with an epidural.

And, after the baby comes out, you'll feel instantly better. At least that's how it was with C. Worst pain ever to instant relief.

You totally got this!

Good luck!! You're gonna do awesome! I hope the membrane sweeping works for you!!
