Past my due date and frustrated
I know I'm still well within a normal due 'period' I guess as I'm only 40+3, but man I'm so frustrated.
I've hated being pregnant this time round. (Already have a nearly 3 yo)
I thought I had it bad last time but everything has been 10x worse. I've had every symptom under the sun, I've had every illness on top of that from my toddler, plus still having to run after him all day every day. I'm so done with it, I just want my body back and to feel even semi-normal again.
(Please don't get me wrong, I'm also incredibly grateful to be pregnant again and we're very lucky, I just need a space to get these negative feelings out too)
I feel like ever since I've been around 39weeks pregnant I've hit a wall, I can't cope anymore. I'm now 3 days past my due date and I honestly don't know how to keep going?? Baby feels like she's pushing down on my cervix all the time, the lightning crotch is horrendous, I've lost mucus plug, I've had a bloody show, I've had diarrhoea, back pains etc, all these things that you'd assume mean labour is close but nope, nothing. She's still chilling in there, her bum is sitting so high its touching my boobs, like she's not dropped AT ALL. I didn't drop with my first so I do take everything with a grain of salt but still, I just want something to happen!! I'm tired, I'm grumpy, I'm in SO MUCH pain π₯² and everyone keeps asking me if baby has arrived yet, I've just stopped answering messages because I promise once this baby is out of me I'll be singing from the rooftops! You don't need to keep asking!! πππ
Sorry this turned into such a vent but I'm so tired you've no idea, I just want to explode I'm so frustrated, and I know feeling this way isn't good for getting oxytocin flowing in preparation for labour but I can't help it, I'm just so dome feeling like crap π
