This is why it takes two to make babies. One to carry it get so sick from there changing body that they wish it would just get out of them and start nursing already. And the other to say "I know baby, you are doing such a great thing so I can be a father/ 2nd mom" then make the first one the biggest yummiest sundae ever dripping with all they yummies the first one likes so they can eat it while they tell them how cute they are with their pregnant tummies durring a nice foot-massage Hang in there sis. You are doing fine and what you feel is perfectly NORMAL!! Just go with it, this is after all mother natures plan. And in my house the first rule is don't fuck with MOM LOL Hey in a few more weeks you'll be a MOM not to be fucked with too. YOU ARE GONNA BE FINE SIS AND YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE A BEAUTIFUL BABIE!!!!!!
Damn, girl, I've been pregnant twice and both times I wished and pleaded for it to be over with. It is uncomfortable, painful, and soooooo hard to wait for your baby to be born. That doesn't mean she wants an abortion at 8 months pregnant. She is TIRED of being pregnant! It is a perfectly normal feeling.
Hell, when I first read that, I got the "give it up for adoption" thing going on in my head... And then I hit 33 weeks. I'm starting to get hella-horrible BH contractions, my boobs are leaking all over the place, I can't sneeze without peeing a little bit, my legs cramp up when I finally get tired enough to go to sleep, and I can't stay awake during the day when I need to get things done. Bottom Line: I WANT THIS BABY OUT OF ME! I'm willing to wait as long as it takes for her to finish baking in there, but I just want my body back. To be able to sleep on my belly again. To be able to eat a full meal. To eat a tomato without getting acid reflux. To not have to pee every 2 minutes. To meet this person! Hell, I didn't even wait 40 weeks to meet her daddy!* I just would like this to be over. As much of a miracle as being pregnant is, it's still not enough of a joy to wish being pregnant forever. *For those of you that don't know the story of my romance with monosphere: We started talking in September 04, and I moved out to Seattle in May 05. It wasn't even 9 months.
Pregnancy is LONG. It is, however, even at term, not long enough for the baby. But, you are carrying this huge human in your body, and you just get TIRED. And things swell up, and you are in pain, and you can't sleep and you pee every 4 minutes, and the kid is kicking you in the bladder or the actual stomach, and all your organs are crushed, and you want to meet you babe and you just want to PUT THAT BABY DOWN FOR A FEW MINUTES, but you have to carry on. It IS hard, but it will soon be over and you will have a full term, healthy happy baby, who will be able to eat, digest and breathe on her own. We feel your pain, mama. Just get some patience and it will happen, when she is ready.
Its one thing to tell it how it is and another to do it with tact, compassion and respect for your fellow human beings. Your comments were neither helpful nor constructive.
I'm a nurse. It's one thing to joke about "wanting it out of me!". I've been pregnant and I certainly understand. It's another to actively seek out ways (on the internet, no less) to induce early labor. Say what you will but there is something psychologically abnormal, or at the very least ignorant, about looking for ways to induce labor early---SIX WEEKS before a baby is due. At 33 weeks a baby's lungs aren't even fully developed. Perhaps she hasn't had much prenatal care or simply doesn't understand the implications of trying to induce labor so early, so for that, I apologize. It's difficult for me to accept the ignorance of getting pregnant and then refusing to properly care for the baby--much less before it's even born.
Most definitely! I don't know how many times I've heard mommas complain about this pain or that ache and then say "but she/he can stay in there as long as needs be. I just want him/her healthy!"
Absolutely! As crappy as I felt carrying my twins, I wanted them to stay put for as long as possible. We made it to 36 weeks, which was good, but I can totally relate to the feeling of "oh my goodness, I want this over with!"
Because I'm sure you're perfect. I'm about 3 months along and I want this kid out of me too. I love knowing what will come in the end when I'm patient and taking care of myself, but, my body is so whacky. I can't look at certain things, I can't smell certain things, and I can't eat certain things without getting sick. I....want 'it' all the time and it's tiring, even when I do want it. I can't keep my eyes open long enough to remember a long conversation with someone and I'm a big ball of emotional mess. I'm up, then I'm down. I'm sure there was a sense of sarcasm with this post. So, back down and chill. It's not ignorance....just humor. Take a chill pill.
Wow.... Oh! Hippy....congrats on Marie Allison. I get excited just looking at your ticker thingy. Haha. I read it every day for new developments.
I am sooo glad that I'm not a woman. A pregnant woman gripes about being uncomfortable and wanting it to stop and everyone jumps down her throat. Would people have prefered if she phased it "I am looking forward to seeing my baby." Princess, feel free to gripe. Its hard being pregnant. I'm glad I don't get to/have to go through it. Good luck!
