Raise your hand if you're done.

I realize it is only going to get worse over the next 12-14 weeks, so I don't want to complain, but I am D. O. N. E. done with being pregnant.  I am tired of being exhausted.  I am tired of not feeling like a fun person because I am always exhausted.  I am tired of my back hurting all. the. time.  I am tired of heartburn, acid reflux, and barfing.  I am tired of crying for stupid reasons.  I am tired of feeling like I can't move around the brick in my belly. I am just tired.   I do not wish, on any level, for little man to come out sooner than 11 more weeks, at the absolute earliest, so that leaves me with only one option.   Please put me in a coma and wake me up on Memorial Day.  Kaithanxbai.

Who's with me?

I'd be feeling better about things if I had more freaking clothes that fit. I don't want to spend more money on stuff I'm barely going to wear, but I find with the cheaper clothing, you definitely get what you pay for (so it's a waste of money in a different way). In that regard, I am DONE.

Oh, and the anxiety about everything that could go wrong is getting to me, too. I had horrible, horrible dreams last night about things happening to the babies. Those I could live without.

[hbanana18]

**Raises both hands**

I have the new fun symptom - when I sit for more than half an hour or so, the weight of my uterus on the arteries to my legs causes the outside of my thighs to start to lose feeling. Dr. told me it was normal but be prepared for it to get worse - yay!

[mrskblack11]

I'm not ready. I'm not ready. I'm not ready.

[tinavonsparkle]

From the title I thought this was done in terms of ready ness - like nursery, hospital bag, shopping - done! I was like WTF??! I was already googling the nope nope nope octopus!

[wink568]

I just want to sleep... And I know that's not going to happen after this pregnancy is over either. Ugh.

[tahitiandreamin]

*jumping up and down* Me! Me! Me!

For the past 4 weeks now I have had one bad cold after another. I was up at 3:30 this morning with bad constipation. Got that fixed only to have my nasty sinus cold kick into high gear with enough pain to keep me awake. I gave up at 5:30 since I would have to get up at 6 anyways. I will NEVER take for granted the ability to take drugs when I have a cold again! After this, bring on the meds and let me support the pharma industry.

While I am grateful for each and every day that this girl stays in me right now, I have often asked to be put to sleep until the end of May. I want to be able to exercise again, to walk without pain, to sleep (ok, I know that's years down the road after we JUST got DD (3) back to a good sleep routine), to be able to take any and all the drugs I want, and to feel human again. My consolation is that I get the entire summer off! I'm planning on getting a nice big umbrella and a super comfy reclining chair for my backyard for some nice outdoor feeding sessions.

[dmoney]

While I am ready at the same time I am not ready. We just ordered the Nursery Furniture yesterday, and they said it could take anywhere from 8-12 weeks to be delivered... Im due in 13 weeks, I had a MAJOR freak out about that. Plus I had a nightmare the other day that I had to have an emergency surgery to stop the bleeding after Delivery and everyone got to hold the baby before I did. I told DH Friday night that under NO Circumstances, ANYONE in our family is allowed to see or hold her until I am back in my room and we have spent sometime as a family together first. At first he looked at me like I have 5 heads but after I explained he agreed with me!

[Bluedaisy]

I'm one of the later due dates so I'm not there yet...I'm finally just feeling like I'm showing and not bloated and can feel him moving more. I'm sure in four weeks I'll be right there with you ladies.

[baytosa2013]

ME ME ME!!! I was just telling my husband this weekend that I am SO done being pregnant. I don't want her to come right this second but I'm over the random aches and pains that scare the crap pout of me, having a cold and taking no meds, going poop maybe every 3 days and feeling like nothing fits or looks good.

[laurenlou83]

Some days I'm like can I just be done already?!?! My back hurts, I pee every 10 minutes, my feet get swollen if I stand/walk too much, headaches are horrible and I want a huge glass of wine (I'm not ashamed to admit that). I also just want to meet our little guy and see his cute face.

Other days I think WTF did we do?? We aren't ready for this! The crib is still in the box, we haven't bought much because we are waiting until after our showers and the moment they wheel me out of the hospital with a baby in hand and say "here you go, good luck!" I will probably have a panic attack.

[mcp6286]

I would love to fast forward to June! I just feel awkward and clumsy and large all the time...I can't put on my boots (come on flip flops!!!), pick up my clothes off the floor, reach things that are above eye line, pick up the little ones in my life comfortably or have them sit in my lap, or walk one lap around Target without getting totally winded. Not sleeping comfortably and getting up to pee a million times a night makes me so cranky. I feel like an old lady always complaining about back and hip pain, too.

[nettje]

Yup.

I don't remember being this uncomfortable last time... I have a fairly constant stretching pain in my groin, my back hurts, I'm peeing all the time (even if I had just peed 5 minutes prior)... I'm just done.

[wifedeangel]

I'm done being pregnant, but still not ready for this baby. Technically we have everything we need, I'm just not ready mentally.

I'm also done with H being sick all winter, and we've had 2 nice days of weather, and I'm already done with my spring allergies. (You can never please a pregnant lady!)

[turtletyme]

Always sore and tired, worrying about my weight gain, crying all the time, dribbling pee all day... but I still feel totally unprepared, so I am on both sides of the fence here! I especially enjoy being told how much worse 3rd tri will be.

I am also ready to be done with the "anticipatory anxiety" and maybe worry about something legit and useful instead when the LO comes. My DH is so zen and I just read books and stress myself out.

@jemomma, I totally hear you. I don't want to see this baby any time soon, and will be so happy if she can go 40 whole weeks, but I still wish I didn't feel like ass.

[lunalovegood]

Both hands in the air waving all around. I really like the sleeping until Memorial Day idea.

[wegrowsheep]

Real conversation with DH the other day.
"Honey, can I get you anything?"
"An epidural. Stat."

Agreed, done. Would be fine with a 39 week baby, as its a 3 day weekend.

[tiffbot]

I'm currently in the opposite phase. I'm in this sentimental bubble realizing it's down to the last 2-3 months of just DS. Don't get me wrong, obviously we wanted this and I can't wait to give him a sibling and I can't wait to meet this one, but this crept up a lot faster than I thought it would.

I just want to make a comment, I'm not attempting to start unnecessary drama here or anything like that, so please don't take this that way. Please be careful what you wish for. As the mom of a preemie last time around, these types of statements from pregnant women would make me cry. I would have much rather been miserable for an additional 8 weeks than have my baby in the NICU for the 8 weeks she was. I know that no one means anything by it, and its just necessary to vent sometimes, but please be careful who you vent to out in the real world. I'm pretty sure none of you actually wish your LO was here already, but I just wanted to mention this in case we end up with some moms who have preemies on this board.

That being said, I am pretty miserable right now as well and I'm not even to 3rd tri yet :\ I hope everyone can find little things to enjoy in their pregnancies because our LO's will be here before you know it!

@jensmomma I think we can all agree this post is a place to vent and no one here is wishing for a premature baby, rather for time to pass quickly and for our due dates and healthy little ones to make their arrival.

That being said I've been done for a while. And I don't mean baby preparations and nursery. I'll set all that up around 36 weeks. With my first I didn't do it until my due date.

I try to suck up my misery and focus on enjoying one on one time with my two year old, but I am so ready for sleepless nights, depends, and a belly binder in June. I just want to move on with my life, and I won't miss anything about being pregnant.

This. And you know what I'm even more done with? People (random ppl, medical ppl, family ppl) telling me how much more done im going to be in 12 weeks. "Oh you're miserable now? Its going to get so much worse".

Hope baby stays put until he's cooked but a good whine about the increasing discomfort in the meantime won't hurt!

^This!

I will own it, I'm basically the worst pregnant person ever.  I'm a huge complainer and I don't like feeling sick.  I'm the type of person that would rather throw up at the first sign of an upset stomach then feel sick, but there is no relief with this!  And it really does not help when I hear over and over again how much worse it's going to get or how uncomfortable I'm going to be or how I'm never going to sleep again!  GAH!  Can't people just tell us how pretty we are with our pregnancy glow and call it a day!

[brennaz]

Oh, I am SO done. I realize I'm incredibly lucky to BE pregnant, but damn can I just skip to June now? I want to meet this kid, I'm not a fan of this stage of things!

Also, I am tired of people telling me I look like hell and that it's only going to get worse. Thanks, jackasses, I'm perfectly aware of that, but kudos for rubbing it in?

And I also am over maternity clothes. My boobs have officially outgrown all of my maternity dresses except one, which means I basically HAVE to buy more because I need something to wear to work for the next two months. Ugh.

Do you have swap n shops in your area? I love them! I will sale all my maternity clothes that don't fit and buy ones that do. That's pretty much where I have found all my clothes. Really nice brands for cheap. As well as the children's orchard with are second hand but nicer and in better condition than thrift stores. I have also found a ton of like new baby things for sooo cheap! Swap n shops have saved me so much money!

I have no shorts or warm weather pants.   I'm so annoyed I'll have to buy some.   I'm going to try to keep it to two pairs of shorts and one pair of crocks but I don't even want to spend that much.

Exactly! I have jeans, I have work pants (all under-belly, which are horrifically uncomfortable already)...but now I have no warm-weather clothes, let alone Easter outfit and baby shower outfit, and the idea of spending more money is just not appealing. I've kept my eyes out for sales, but so far not much has popped up.

I broke down and bought three new pull over shirts this last weekend. I figure I'm going to need them for 6-8 weeks after delivery and tried to get the styles that are just long and bunched on the sides, without extra belly material so, hopefully, I can still wear them tunic style, with skinny jeans and boots once I don't need the belly coverage any more.   But still...  sigh....

[gilder40]

I haven't had a bad pregnancy, so I can't complain too much. But I am OVER the sleepless nights and the back pain. Also, this pregnancy congestion is killing me. Plus, I feel like a beached whale any time I try to roll over or sit up.

However, the thought of having a baby in 2-3 months scares the living crap out of me. Like nauseated and sick to my stomach worrying if we are ready and if we can actually do this. Which is completely crazy considering I'm an elementary school teacher and I love kids. I'm just scared.

tatersalad - we are definitely in agreement. I don't think anyone wishes for a preemie. I guess the point of my post, which perhaps was not all that clear (thanks pregnancy brain) was to be careful who you vent to in your real lives because you never know what someone else may be going through or has gone through in the past. Of course, this thread was for venting and I didn't mean to make anyone feel bad for doing so. Believe me, I know we all need to vent about pregnancy or we would all end up in the nut house

I've had several friends with 25-26 weekers so have seen, first hand, how bad it is when they come at this stage.   I would absolutely never vent to them, for that reason. Nope nope nope!!    As miserable and whiny as I am, I definitely want this one to stay put until at least  38.5 weeks, 37  if he really insists that he has to be in a hurry.   I would just like the option of being unconscious between now and when that happens so I stop throwing out my back when I barf.  

[sully326]

I'm totally done. and I feel HORRIBLE for saying that. After losing our twins & battling 2IF for almost 3 years I feel like I should just shut up & be happy. But damn it, I'm miserable!

I ache all.the.time. & I can't move without sounding like a bowl of Rice Crispys. Home girl is big & my groin/crotch is done with the pressure.

There's so much more but, GAHHH. Yep. I'm done.

With that being said, I have zero problem being miserable until June. Baby girl can wreck my body as long as she stays put until then!

[paintdadanta]

I just told DH last night that I want a fast forward button. I spent almost half hour at store yesterday trying to figure out which OTC medicine I could take for this cold. I miss being able to grab things off the shelf and not read labels all day.

[periwinkledaydreams]

100% agreed. 100% done. Although I am maybe about 5% ready (heellloooo still need to find a damn apartment to live in come May 1st!!!). I am absolutely 100% over being stuck in the house unable to drive, shop, read, plan, play, sleep, think, or do anything that requires seeing, hearing, or moving. Im so thankful baby girl kicks me every day and reminds me that she needs me. I want to make it to June. I just want to make it BE June NOW like.. time warp or knock me out until then or something!
