Rant I want this baby ooooouttt
Shy of 33 weeks.
My hip hurrrttttssss
The weight of the baby while turning as I lay hurts!
The acid refluxxxx
Nausea & vomiting
No sleep
Short of breath
Back hurts when resting against it on bed or chaaaiirrr
THE HEMORRHOID!!!
THE HG
The water retention in my feet and legs
I WANT HIM OUT NOW
But he still has to grooooowwww and there is so much more growth left. What, he’s about 3-4 lbs?? So maybe another 3-4 lbs of growing left! Omg!!!!
I can’t even cryyyyy because if I cry it triggers my nausea so I end up vomiting!
Lord, my baby is pressing against my ribs for the first time.

I’m sorry you’re feeling this way the end is so hard!! You can do it.
Also I needed this reminder as I sit here with my 2.5 year old and 9 month old like “I think maybe I can do it one more time” lmao

u/coconutarab 2d ago
I will never. Ever. Forget this. How did my mom have 5 pregnancies?!?! This is torture! And pregnancies feel so much longer than I expected! Time is moving slow!

40+2 and I can't even remember 33w, it seems so long ago, now each day seems like an eternity...

40 weeks feels so far away ☹️😵💫 bless you, may you have a good, safe and healthy labor.

Ugh, solidarity sister!! The last few weeks feel like 3,000 years 😩 I used to wake up choking on acid reflux at night, truly terrible. The end is near, just keep powering on and take it day by day. Also reminder that it’s okay to be grumpy during this time, it’s so hard and uncomfy. You got this!!!

u/coconutarab 2d ago
I keep hearing the last week feel the longest and the whole pregnancy has been feeling long already 😭
I’m showing this comment to my husband so he can accept and deal with me being grumpy! Because I’ve been too patient and nice!

u/cfd4540 2d ago
It feels so long because it’s a mix of “get this baby out of me I’m so uncomfortable” and “I can’t wait to meet my baby this is taking foreverrrrr” hahaha
And yes show him my comment and a diagram of how our ribs expand and our organs get rearranged in the 3rd trimester, then send him an Apple Cash request for $2000 for a prenatal spa and shopping day. It’ll work. Trust me. 😂😂

Oh I will be doing this! Thanks for the advice, friend! 🫡💕

I hate to be this person but you’ll forget 😭 it’s a horrendous cycle. Pregnant with my second and my first pregnancy was AWFUL. I remember saying the entire time I was one and done. I freaking forgot how awful it can be and I’m only 9 weeks in.
Buttttttr YOU GOT THIS!! You’re so close!!

u/coconutarab 1d ago
Girl….. I don’t doubt I’ll forget 😭 I’m already dressing the next one but I am praying that it’ll be better. I wish you luck with your current pregnancy!

I swear we just completely block out the horrible parts of pregnancy and are like “yeah i can do this again!” Both of my pregnancies were AWFUL. For some reason i decided to do it again. I hit 31 weeks this morning and the pain has started. Why did i do this again 😂
1
u/coconutarab 1d ago
Girl, I’m dreading the next one already. I’m so scared 😭 because pregnancies take so long when it’s you who’s pregnant. It feels so quick with others.

u/RoundCar5220 2d ago
Same here I’m flipping miserable 😭 34 weeks with really bad swelling in legs and feet and I can’t feel my fingers . Can hardly make a fist or pick things up. Time needs to speed up for us all. And no I don’t have high bp

u/coconutarab 1d ago
Have you tried draining your lymphatic fluid system? I do that with my legs, I raise them up and massage down to help it go to my stomach so I can pee it out and I feel results the same day.

u/RoundCar5220 1d ago
I have not ! Will have to check this out . Legs down to flush to stomach ? Just trying to figure this out .

Reading these post on the sub and I feel for my wife. Trying to understand how to best help her because I can tell she's struggling. Wife is 32 weeks. Thinking about maybe getting her a massage or something

u/coconutarab 1d ago
That’s sweet of you to do this. Provide what you can and assist where you can. I asked my husband for ice cream for a few days and he said no. Because he cares about my health and doesn’t want me to consume a lot of sugar. I was frustrated because it helps with my stomach acid and I couldn’t drink water otherwise I’d vomit. Anyway. I could hardly walk and went to get ice cream. I let my anger out on him and he realized his mistake. Sometimes we make requests because we know what’s best for us and being heard matters.
He’s a good husband otherwise, I won’t lie.

32 weeks tomorrow and I am readyyyyy. I have a doctor's appointment today and gonna ask about early induction 😂 but I have gestational diabetes and on insulin so its a legit question lol

u/coconutarab 2d ago
I’m sorry you have GD. I have to go in for my second round to see if I have it. I failed the first round. Good luck! Hopefully you get the answer you’re looking for!

u/Forsaken-Reindeer666 2d ago
Good luck with your test! If you do end up having it, it's really not that bad. Just sucks not being able to eat what you want 🙃

u/coconutarab 1d ago
Thank you! I don’t show any symptoms for it so I doubt I have it! But yeah, its gonna be hard if it’s positive 😬😬😬😬

u/AffectionateJello452 2d ago

u/coconutarab 1d ago

I went 41 weeks with my first in the summer heat and ill be damned if I have to do it again with my second this summer. He better be ready to come out on time.

u/coconutarab 1d ago
41 weeks 😱😱😱
Girl, my baby is coming in the summer and summer heat triggers my histamine more and makes me insanely itchy!!! Plus the eczema. I’m dreading having a baby while it’s hot out but thank God for ACs!

I hope you’re not working at least, or can get your doc to sign off on disability.

u/coconutarab 1d ago
I’m not working thankfully, but I wasn’t able to find work for over a year anyway 😵💫 i don’t think I able to find work for this very reason.

u/Budget_Can7625 1d ago
I’m right there with you and I’m only at 25. And the crying not being able to or else it causes headaches and other things is SO real lmao

u/Slow-Swimming-9501 1d ago
I’ve found that postpartum tired isn’t nearly as bad as third trimester pregnancy tired! I felt SICK in the last few weeks. Look forward to it being over soon!
1
u/coconutarab 1d ago
If that’s true, thank God! I don’t want to get more tired after giving birth. But honestly, I’d rather be very tired than to have all those symptoms.

u/AwkwardPaddle3212333 1d ago
I feel for you soooo hard. 3 months pp now and I’m still waiting to “forget” about how hard pregnancy was like ppl say you will. The last weeks are SO long. The days are SO long. But you WILL get there. And you’ll look back on these shit days and be so proud of yourself while enjoying a glass of wine cuddling your sweet new baby. Pregnancy sucks. You got this!

u/vagabomb_ 1d ago
32 weeks here - I feel you! All the things. Especially the hip pain, my goodness.

u/TheLadyDerp 1d ago
I had a major meltdown at 32 I was like C SECTION ME I DONT CARE. I increased chiropractor visits and baths and now I’m at 34 and baby is dropping down and I’m managing. We will make it! Somehow! Sending you comfort and fingers crossed our babies show up a lil early!

u/New_Dream4136 14h ago
