anyone else feel like this?

Hi all,

Just wondering if anyone in here can relate to my situation.

As I get closer to DD I get more and more anxious for baby to be here, and to not be pregnat any longer! And while I am sure most at my point (36 weeks) feel the same, I can't help but feel more and more DONE.

At fist I kinda felt bad, because I love the feeling of my baby moving, and the connection I have getting to be pregnat. But then I got to thinking..I was pregnant at this time last year as well with my Angel baby. I got my BFP in early Feb. Last year, and sadly lost bubbs at 10 weeks in may of last year. And though it took me 2 cycles to fall pregnant again, I feel like a horse, being pregnant for a year now, and still have 4 to 6 weeks to go. It's exhausting.

Please don't take this post wrong, I am over the moon to have this baby, I guess I just didn't realize the effect it would have on my body and mind to be 'pregnant for a year'

Thanks for reading my little ramble/rant.

I totally understand. I've been DONE for weeks now and I'm just entering my third trimester. I got 3 bfps in the space of a year so, basically, I've been pregnant since the fall of 2012. I'm exhausted! That was 3 first trimesters in 12 months and each one got worse symptoms-wise than the one before. Sometimes I wonder if I were in my mid-20s that I would have been better able to handle it, but being in my 30s has made it harder. I don't know.

Your exhaustion has nothing to do with gratitude. We don't get pregnant just to get pregnant. We get pregnant so we can have a baby and sometimes it's so hard to wait for them to come. Some ladies thrive being pregnant and others struggle. But that doesn't take away from the fact we're so thrilled to be getting our precious little bundles.

Thanks for that, and I am sorry to hear about your losses.

I am in my 20's and I can say it's not been easy, my first tri I get so sick and so tired I barely function, and now that the end of 3rd has rolled around it's like being in first tri again, only sleep is Mich harder. I'm sure once baby is here I will forget all of it and be willing to do it again. I just hope my next 4 weeks don't drag by. Boy do I miss 2nd tri!

It's almost over! Your little one will soon be here. The last weeks are tough though. Right now I'm trying not to think about that as I still have a bit of a ways to go. It doesn't help that we're having the winter that refuses to end. I've been looking forward to a spring baby and seeing all the piles of snow and ice outside makes me feel like it's never going to come. lol

I'm there too. I had a bfp last May, m/c in July, bfp in Sept, m/c in Oct, and bfp again in Nov. In essence I have literally been pregnant for the last year and I still have 4 months left to go... Ugh. My thing is I'm just dying to get back to exercising and getting healthy but I'm unable to do more than light walking or yoga and eating decently because I'm pg. And I think Starry has something there too with the weather. I am due mid-summer and have been feeling pretty good about Spring coming because we've had 40's for temps and the snow has been melting. Until this morning at least...Woke up to a snowstorm and white coating e.v.e.r.y.w.h.e.r.e. Blah. Makes it feel like summer will never ever get here and I'll be a whale forever.

dairy - I thought you would be hit. We got the northern edges of the storm but for us it was a mild snowfall--about 5cm (don't know what that is in inches....about 2?) We did get lots of blowing winds this morning though. Depressing.

Starry-we didn't get super tons of snow. Couple of inches but it's heavy, wet, disgusting snow that's going to make everything muckier than it already is. Def not as bad as it could have been. But it's going to get cold now this weekend. Blah...

O goodness I'm glad I'm not where you lady's are . The only thing I get up for is the sunshine we have had. If I were stuck indoors along with still being pregnat my brain would explode...here's hoping the next months go by quick for all of us, so we can have our new LOs and soak up the sunshine!

It's still very cold but it's sunshiney now. We're driving out to visit the inlaws next weekend simply because i HAVE to get out of the house. It really is intolerable.

I feel like this! 34 weeks pregnant this time, was pregnant for 17 weeks with 1st bfp, just short of 6 weeks with the second. So that's 57 weeks pregnant since Dec 2012 with 6 weeks left to go.

I feel like an elephant with the super long pregnancy and I am soooo ready to cuddle my baby.

Elephant is a good description, pregnant forever....come on baby girl, let's go!
