What's funny, is I am the one who wrote this post 1.5 years ago and I don't even remember feeling this way! I am sure I did, but man, pregnancy and childbirth amnesia is an amazing thing. Everything feels just right once your baby is in your arms.</p> <p>Hang in there, mama. You're doing a great job! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-have-hit-a-wall#post-2160846 Wed, 29 Apr 2015 11:34:10 +0000 jetsa 2160846@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sorry to drag up an old thread but All.of.this. I am 36 weeks (per my dr office, my dates put me at 37) and just DONE. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-have-hit-a-wall#post-1161294 Sat, 19 Oct 2013 20:26:28 +0000 mrs. wagon 1161294@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rainbow Sprinkles: trust me, I know how you are feeling. I think by 34 weeks I was totally done. I was prepared to work til the end, especially with it being my second pregnancy and I thought I was an old pro... But I ended up stopping work a few weeks before my scheduled induction at 39 weeks. Seriously it is like torture. I took a lot of walks, did a lot of shopping and got manis and pedis. I ate a lot of yummy food (tough to do since I had gd). Anything to get you to the next day. Don't feel weird, it is soooooo hard!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-have-hit-a-wall#post-1161293 Sat, 19 Oct 2013 20:26:17 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 1161293@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rainbow Sprinkles: I'm so sorry, friend :-( I know how bad that combination is, but I can't imagine dealing w/ it while chasing a wild toddler around. Normally, I would say to drink... But that's obviously out. I like @sarac: suggestions. Hang in there!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-have-hit-a-wall#post-1161289 Sat, 19 Oct 2013 20:21:58 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 1161289@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pen: thank you. You're so sweet. :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-have-hit-a-wall#post-1161283 Sat, 19 Oct 2013 20:20:01 +0000 Katrocap 1161283@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rainbow sprinkles: You can do it! I had awful pelvic girdle pain for the last 2.5 months of pregnancy. I could barely roll over in bed without feeling like my bones were shattering. I was in such pain getting out of bed, walking any short distance and climbing stairs. But ... the pelvic pain completely disappeared the day after LO was born. In 5 weeks you'll hold your LO in your arms. You are strong and you will get there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-have-hit-a-wall#post-1161269 Sat, 19 Oct 2013 20:05:44 +0000 petunia354 1161269@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rainbow Sprinkles: That's amazing!! You have some great friends :) I know it doesn't help with the day to day exhaustion and aches and pains, but at least it's something to look forward to. You deserve to be pampered, mama! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-have-hit-a-wall#post-1160815 Sat, 19 Oct 2013 13:48:51 +0000 Mrs. Pen 1160815@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rainbow Sprinkles: oh that sounds SO FUN!!! you deserve it.</p> <p>You can get through this! you are strong and beautiful and an amazing mother and you can do it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-have-hit-a-wall#post-1160809 Sat, 19 Oct 2013 13:44:19 +0000 sarac 1160809@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In terms of taking care of your child, I would personally declare 'perfect mommy' bankruptcy and just put on a constant stream of educational tv and other low effort distractions. I would ask your husband to make or help you to make simple meals to get you through the day without much effort on your part. Basically, I'd figure out the bare minimum I could do to keep my child safe, fed, and entertained, and I'd do it. Make a safe space for the toddler to play while you lay on a couch. Basically try to arrange life so that you can get as much rest and do as little as possible.</p> <p>When you're suffering at the end of a pregnancy, you've got to do what you can. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-have-hit-a-wall#post-1160729 Sat, 19 Oct 2013 13:00:00 +0000 Smurfette 1160729@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rainbow Sprinkles: that sounds awesome! Hang in there Mom. She is going to be in your arms before you know it. It helps knowing the prize at the end is totally worth the pregnancy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-have-hit-a-wall#post-1160709 Sat, 19 Oct 2013 12:49:45 +0000 Kimberlybee 1160709@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rainbow Sprinkles: "mommy shower" is such a great idea! I will have to remember that for future friends who have more kids. Have a fabulous &amp; relaxing time at yours. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-have-hit-a-wall#post-1160572 Sat, 19 Oct 2013 11:13:37 +0000 littlek 1160572@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rainbow Sprinkles: how fun!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-have-hit-a-wall#post-1160569 Sat, 19 Oct 2013 11:11:02 +0000 PurplePeony 1160569@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm sorry :( I'm only 31 weeks and I'm right there with you. My whole torso hurts -- ribs, muscles, skin -- and side sleeping is torture so I'm not getting much sleep. I have no idea how I'm going to accommodate MORE baby in this poor abused tummy of mine and I'm not looking forward to finding out... Plus, I think I see some varicose veins popping up and I'm NOT happy about that. Things have been so easy up to now that I feel bad whining but pregnancy and I just aren't a good fit. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-have-hit-a-wall#post-1160566 Sat, 19 Oct 2013 11:09:05 +0000 MaisyMay 1160566@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rainbow Sprinkles: Don't feel weird about it. It's great that they want to do something to make you feel nice. Have you had a movie day with your LO? Let LO pick out a movie and you can chill on the couch while they are engrossed? It's okay to do that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-have-hit-a-wall#post-1160557 Sat, 19 Oct 2013 11:04:49 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 1160557@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@petunia354: next Saturday my girlfriends from work are taking me out for a "mommy shower." I felt weird about a baby shower for my second girl, so the are "showering" me wit a mani, pedi, massage, and dinner!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-have-hit-a-wall#post-1160505 Sat, 19 Oct 2013 10:11:28 +0000 ShootingStar 1160505@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm right there with you. I'm 35 weeks tomorrow and am just ready to be done. My pelvis is doing the same thing, making it hard to stand on one leg, walk up/down stairs, etc. I live in a 4 floor townhouse, so you can imagine how fun it is getting around, especially to my bedroom on the top floor. I can barely turn over in bed because it hurts my pelvis so much. And my hips are sore all the time. So sleep has gone to complete crap. I also have reflux that's ramping back up. I've spent the entire morning really regretting the one cup of very light coffee I drank this morning. I woke up at 5:30 am and would really like to take a nap, but every time I lay down the reflux makes it impossible.</p> <p>On top of all that, I have GD and am in a constant battle with food and my blood sugar. </p> <p>I did put a heat pack on my crotch (shoutout to @MrsTiz for using her favorite word) last night, and that actually helped. And I just took a zantac for the heartburn which has made it calm down a little. My OB did say I could take prevacid, so I may need another round of that - maybe ask your OB if they're ok with something preventative?</p> <p>I keep telling myself just another few weeks too. But damn, I want this baby out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-have-hit-a-wall#post-1160424 Sat, 19 Oct 2013 09:09:17 +0000 photojane 1160424@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You can do this! </p> <p>On the brightside, you're still pregnant, so you can keep on stuffing those cheeseburgers in your face. Take advantage. Go eat some donuts. Then make your husband rub your feet. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-have-hit-a-wall#post-1160422 Sat, 19 Oct 2013 09:05:20 +0000 yin 1160422@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pregnancy is tough. I'm 37 weeks along and kinda over it too. I have to take care of a toddler all day long, and pregnancy is kicking my butt. Hang in there. Treat yourself to a relaxing day if possible. Only a few weeks remaining. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-have-hit-a-wall#post-1160332 Sat, 19 Oct 2013 07:08:36 +0000 Mrs. J 1160332@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pen pal, you are beautiful! You can do this! Treat yourself to a spa type day if you can! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-have-hit-a-wall#post-1160323 Sat, 19 Oct 2013 06:46:27 +0000 petunia354 1160323@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Is there anything you can do to pamper/treat yourself? Mani? Massage? Just some alone time? Im so sorry, hang in there! I only made it to 34 weeks so I never hit that same wall. Just think of that sweet girl you are going to be snuggling before you know it :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-have-hit-a-wall#post-1160319 Sat, 19 Oct 2013 06:41:00 +0000 MamaBehr 1160319@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm sorry. That is the toughest part of pregnancy. I hope that you start to feel a little better soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-have-hit-a-wall#post-1160291 Sat, 19 Oct 2013 05:37:44 +0000 littlek 1160291@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rainbow Sprinkles: hang in there! Only 4 weeks maternity? Ouch. I'm sorry. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-have-hit-a-wall#post-1160235 Sat, 19 Oct 2013 00:54:27 +0000 MrsStar 1160235@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Aw I'm sorry you're feeling crappy! You're on the homestretch now though! Hope the final weeks get better for you.<br /> Bet you still look amazing! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-have-hit-a-wall#post-1160215 Sat, 19 Oct 2013 00:16:50 +0000 Running Elley 1160215@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I feel this way. I think what makes it really bad for me is that I just feel like I can't keep up with my toddler anymore and I HATE that. I'm so over it and I really hope that she comes early. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-have-hit-a-wall#post-1160192 Fri, 18 Oct 2013 23:47:18 +0000 BoogieBea 1160192@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Aww, I'm sorry for all the discomfort. My hip joints were also very soft with my second pregnancy. I've collapsed few times getting out of bed. Do you have family/friends that can help you a bit with LO?<br /> You're at the home stretch! Hang in there! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-have-hit-a-wall#post-1160191 Fri, 18 Oct 2013 23:46:54 +0000 autumnlove 1160191@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am so sorry. I know you don't feel great but you still look gorgeous as usual!</p> <p>I hit a wall around week 33 and I was miserable for 3ish weeks...lots of cough/peeing and sleep issues. Yuck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-have-hit-a-wall#post-1160184 Fri, 18 Oct 2013 23:37:31 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 1160184@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, I'm complaining.</p> <p>I'm 34 weeks and I feel like I can't go on. I'm exhausted, and I already want to stop working. Every day wears me out. I get a 4 week maternity leave, so stopping work before I deliver isn't an option.</p> <p>I have a separating pelvis, and moSt of the time I feel like I can't move. I can't walk up stairs.</p> <p>My husband works nights now and being alone with LO all day and then doing dinner/clean-up/bedtime all by myself is killing me.</p> <p>I have Braxton hicks all day long. I can't sleep at night. I have horrendous acid reflux.</p> <p>In the vanity department, I see my stretch marks grow and deepen every single day. I keep hoping I will give birth so my skin will stop ripping apart.</p> <p>I'm sorry. I had to throw this out there to all my HB mama friends and commiseraters and encouragers. How can I make the next few weeks fly by? Coping tips?</p> <p>5 weeks. I can do this. </p>
