Welcome to Gaia! ::

I'm seven months pregnant right now....and I just want this to be all over. I want to hold my baby. I've been put on bedrest since I was five months because of a blocked right kidney. The baby was pushing against the tube that goes to my bladder so I wasn't passing urine like I was suppose too. I got a stent put in but it still hurts when ever I move around too much. Now after my last dr's appointment it looks like I may have gestational dibetes. I'm happy the baby is healthy and fine but I just feel so frustrated because of all the health problems I am having. Is it normal to feel this way? I get upset and wish I could have the baby already and then I feel horrible sad
Has anyone gone through problems like this? Has anyone felt this way? HEEEEELLLLP crying
lol

I spent 6 months on bed rest because of placental attachment issues, I started spotting/bleeding at around 3 months. No sex, no physical activity of any kind, it was now a HIGH RISK pregnancy. I hated lying in bed day after day. It was baseball season! I had two boys ages 8 and 9, and hubby was in school. He would get the kids off to school, come home at lunch and feed me, then see to them after school, he worked weekends so the boys took care of me. It was really strange having your 9 year old bring up lunch, and inform you on how the laundery was going!

I hated it, I was a very active mommy before being confined to bed. I would weep and even threw a tantrum or two about having to stay in bed. I confess I snuck out to the final games of the play offs but I was very very careful, and took it easy. But this was what was best for baby and me. In the end we had a schedualed c-section about a week before the due date and all was well.

It was touch and go for a while, but for now it is best for baby to stay inside as long as he/she can, even if you are uncomfortable. Parent hood is years of putting their needs before your own..

Oh gosh *hugs* to you. It's certainly understandable. I know everyone once they get close to the end, they're ready to have the baby and get it done with. You're doing a great job of thinking of the baby, no questions about that. I can only imagine bed rest is difficult, but you're getting close!

Thank you so much everyone, I am happy that I'm not going insane *much*
I got back the results for my gestational diabetes test, they came out normal. ^^ The baby is fine, so all I can do is count the moments and find ways to entertain myself. Once again, thank you for the well wishes...I feel so loved
crying biggrin heart

I had a lot of complications in my first pregnancy. I felt very much the way you do. Bed rest is awful and hard to deal with. Don't feel bad about yourself for wanting your pregnancy to be over with. The stress and discomfort of being preganant can be hard on anyone, and having scarey complications only makes it worse. *hugs* Hang in there and never feel bad for thinking about yourself, being a mother doesn't mean you don't count to.

I can identify well with your feelings!

I wasn't on bedrest, but I just flat out did NOT enjoy being pregnant. Some women love it, some hate it. I was in the "hate it" category. I love my children, but hated being pregnant. I was sick constantly and all the weight gain, bloating, doctor's appointments, and etc just was too much for me.

I wanted my children to hurry up and be born. Not only because I wasn't relishing pregnancy, but because I was just plain anxious to see them!

It's normal to not want to be pregnant anymore... especially (I imagine) for someone on bedrest who isn't used to being on it! Not to mention the last few months seem to drag on endlessly xp !

But it will be over with before you know it. Just try and keep a positive attitude and do what's best for you and the baby.

I hope things go well for you in the coming months!

im feeling the same way. i ******** cried at work today. completly embarassing. i NEVER cry in front of strangers and i was getting in trouble for not facing right at the end of the night and i burst into tears. not my style. sweatdrop at least i didnt have customers. im going to tell my boss tomorrow i cant work photo anymore because of the stress it causes me. plus in another two weeks i wont beable to fit behind the damn door to the sink so i can shut down the lab properly.

I understand completely.
I have to have my boyfriend tie my shoes and pick everything up off the floor. Today I whined when I had to climb stairs. The pressure was so hard. I felt the babys head like in between my legs.
I even have had a hard time going pee even if I have to go very badly. And it also hurts. I cry all the time saying I want this baby out of me. I am almost at the point where I just want to lay in bed all day.So uncomfortable.

So hang in there it will be over before you know it and be thank full you get bedrest instead of having to climb stairs and such. (I was bed ridden my first pregnancy).
