What is going on with this baby. This week I just want to eat eat eat and eat some more.
::cries::
I haven't eaten a proper meal in about three months. There's not a chance in hell I'm eating the number of calories that I should be. I'm also chewing on ice like a polar bear so I'm reasonably certain that I'm anemic.
I've done so well this whole pregnancy and had so little to complain about, but I'm withering in these last few weeks between food, Braxton Hicks, and pain.
I'm sorry
I've been in a lot of pain this time around too and it sucks. I'm scheduling another float for this weekend sometime. I'm praying it helps.

Maybe try drinking some of your calories? Something like a smoothie or protein shake would give you a lot in a small portion.

I literally feel like if I put anything in me (liquid, food) that I will explode. It's awful. I eat one Eggo when I get up and spend the next two hours nursing a cup of coffee because I can't fit it in. Lunch? What's lunch? I can fit a cheesestick in maybe around 3pm.
I'm trying to find ways to work with it, but some days I just want to lie down and cry because nothing works and I feel like I'm going to split in two.

I'm sorry. I'm having a crummy day.
That's ok! This is the place to talk about all of this! Is it babies position preventing the eating or heartburn/reflux? If you put something on the eggo (peanut butter?) is it too much? It's like you need very small portions of something that's super high in fat/calories.

You just prompted my saddest craving ever: "ooh, I should drive to Sonic and get a giant ice water!" (To be fair, they do have excellent ice there.)
I'm sorry you're having such a rough time these last weeks. I wish I had some awesome pregnancy hack for you to make it better.

I have days where I can't eat much too and it sucks. Have you tried some of the spinning babies positions. Sometimes it makes no difference, but other days I feel like I get a bit more room.

I have a total of 17 meetings in my schedule at work today. I feel like I'm going insane. How is that a reasonable expectation?? How can I accomplish anything when I'm just talking about things all day?!?

joy - I'm sorry, that sounds awful. I know I'm not eating nearly enough calories lately either, FWIW. If I could eat anything I wanted I think I'd be gaining weight steadily, but ever since the GD diagnosis a few weeks ago I've had trouble finding enough variety to keep me wanting to eat food, and I've been lazy about trying to get in enough snacks. However, remember that our babies take what THEY need first, so do the best you can but know your baby is probably doing just fine - and I second the smoothie suggestion!

That's *terrible*!!! Definitely not reasonable, and doesn't leave you time for actual work. I hope you don't have more days like this coming up!
Oh joy , that's rough. It's okay to hate this part (or any part) of pregnancy. It's okay to cry and feel frustrated.
I hope something changes so that you get a moment to breathe (and eat!), but if you don't, you have every right to be upset.
The baby is much lower now than last week. My problems aren't exactly due to him being in my stomach. It's funny, actually - I feel the hiccups in my pelvis now! Ha. I'm just having general digestive issues which are exacerbated by a kid lying on my intestines.
I'm so looking forward to removing this weight from my digestive tract.

Same. My anemia was just confirmed. You could pop some extra iron in case. I even have rankings of the best ice. Sonic and chik-fil-a are superior, of course.

I'm in the hungry all the time camp.
*warning: downers ahead*
However when I start counting down the days, I keep coming back to something MH said the other day, "it's only going to get worse." Please note: this is in reference to us and our family only. I have no idea how it will be for you and I won't pretend to tell you. For us, our newborns don't sleep. Like they stay awake for hours on end at all hours of the day and just don't sleep. Neither of us deals well with lack of sleep at all. Add in the rest of life on top of that and ugh. I know physically I will be fairly capable starting 4 weeks after the c-section, but yeah. I'm basically mentally hunkering down for some of the worst months of my life ahead, and I'm terrified.

I had a really hard time with a newborn so I feel you. I keep going between trying to "enjoy" having an inside baby because it's easier and wanting her out right this second due to pain.

Ooooh I love sonic ice!!! It's amazing!!! I'm also a huge fan of chick fil a iced tea. My DH asks "why don't we just get a gallon and keep it in the fridge". It's just so much better over their ice.... Lol

Chick fil a tea at home is better at home with your ice, than no chick fil a tea!
