Do you ever just get BORED of being pg?

[Azana]

Sorry a bit self indulgent - and especially when Shamu is having a time, and I am sooooo lucky to be having (as far as I know) a healthy baby.

Don't get me wrong I am so :smile: to be having my bubba but I a sooooooo BORED of it already - and I am not even 30 weeks - admittedly I did have a bit of a false start so in fact have been mainly pg for over a YEAR :rolleyes: and I still have WEEKS to go - 8 and a half by my calculation.

Someone remind me how it is even harder when they come out - oh and that sleeping on my front, not feeling like a frump ALL the time and being able to drink wine, oh and RUN is severely overrated.......thanks.

Oh and if anyone else who I don't know asks me when I am due/do I know what it is I will scream.

Azana,

I am so with you. I feel guilty that for the majority of this pregnancy I haven't felt excited at all.

I have to admit now that I'm starting to get organised and get the things we need (just about everything because I was a bit overzealous with my ebaying!), I'm a bit more excited. Plus two weeks with Dh helping out with M has really rejuvenated me.

I think the fact that we've been through it before means that the newness of every little stage no longer takes the edge off the boredom.

I bought myself some post-baby tops yesterday, and I'm definitely starting to think about the light at the end of the tunnel, whereas a few weeks ago I felt like it was going to last forever.

As to it being harder when they come out - I've convinced myself that a summer baby will be easy. Long evening walks, sitting in the garden while Molly plays... all I remember about Molly's first month was that it was dark and cold and I never seemed to make it out of the house in the light.

Hang in there, I've been amazed how the 30+ weeks have whizzed by, and I'm about to go out to get stuff for my hospital bag!

Hope you're feeling well,

Sparkliness xx

I know exactly how you feel, although i'm not pg atm i was just like you but with me it was more from 26 wks than 30, i just wanted my body back, i wanted to be able to take my own knickers off properly without having to do a dance around the bedroom to do it :oops:

I worked til 36wks and was SO shattered it was untrue, i couldn't wait to finish work then when i did i was bored out of my brains :rolleyes:

I'm sure the fact that you already have a LO should keep you occupied and make the time go a little quicker for you.

WHY oh WHY am i so desparate to do this all again :loco: :happyno: :bow:

[Adelelee]

Awww hun I know how you feel, its so much harder second time round, and you are so much more tired.

But the time will go quick and your LO will be here!!!

Sorry not much help I know but I do know how you are feeling :flowers: :flowers: :flowers:

I love being pg most of the time but I am starting to get really really really bored now and want to be able to sleep on my stomach again. Wear clothes that are not so big around the bum and be able to bend over without gasping for breath or cutting off my circulation :lol:

Plus everyone is calling me everyday to see if I have went yet and if I don't answer the phone they all have mini panic attacks. Honestly if I want you to know I am in labour I will let you know.

I am grouchy and comfortable today plus its like 24 degrees here, my leg hurts and I need to go to the shop bahumbug sort of day really

[bisy backson]

yep me too - but mainly cos i am so excited about meeting my baby. i loved the early baby stuff (although i know it will be completely different with a toddler).

i can't wait to see who he looks like, what his personality is like, how he gets on with splashy etc so i'm impatient which is making me want this pg to be over (at the right time obviously :wik: )

I got so fed up with being pregnant - when I saw today that Sambaslave had her baby 3 weeks early, I was incredibly jealous that she had A WHOLE MONTH less pregnancy than I did! (I went a week over.)

Hugs to you Azana, it was bad enough first time around so I guess it's even worse the second!

[Opprobrium]

Yep. I have just about had enough now. I heard someone say pregnancy is 8 months & 1 year & I'm inclined to agree! I had 8 months of pure blissfull heaven, wishing I was an elephant with a 2 year gestation but these last few weeks I have had more than I can take!

My SPD is so bad I'm in a wheelchair now, permanently hooked up to my TENS machine, I'm back & forth to the hospital more times than I can count with pre-eclampsia & being monitored all the time & now Bean is estimated to be BIG and she's breech!!

I was really miserable last week & was about a step away from throwing a real toddler screaming leg kicking arm waving tantrum :hissyfit: in the corridor of the hospital if they didn't get her out NOW but yesterday I was given a date for my c-section & now I feel I can cope. There's an ending in sight, it's very soon (Monday!!) and then it's on to the fun stuff & the start of getting better!

I'm so happy to be pg, especially as it was so hard to get here (ttc for 4 years) but I can't help feeling that it's not fair that after all that I've ended up in this state having to have a c-section, but at the end of the day, Bean is healthy & she's nearly here & I just want to have her in my arms now, not in my tum. Enough is enough now.

You've really been through the mill and back:no: Monday is only just around the corner and then she'll be with you:ellie: Try, depsite all the tricky health bits, to have a fabby last weekend with your DH as a couple before you become a full-on family the next day.

Please remember to be kind to yourself and not expect too much of yourself as a mother from day one - it's a steep learning curve:faint:

[She Devil]

i prefere the middle few wks from around 25-32 before and after that im too tired to do anything

[Elle Driver]

Feck me Oppro :faint: you've been through the mill. a million sympathies though my spd was unbearable too, those last few months i was in agony :-(

[Azana]

Hugs to Opp ((((())))))
Oh and thanks for everyone - I guess I am not alone in finding the whole thing tedious.
ProfV - nope no further on names- can you tell we are the kind of household where teddies are called "teddy" and dollies are called - well you guess....

Feeling a bit more human today after seeing an osteo - oh and made a list of nice things to do for myself on my 9 days of toddler free maternity leave.

Still the worst bit is still to come so I suppose I best just be pleased I can put on my shoes myself still....stay well everyone
