hi ladies,
I know I may sound ungrateful, but this is honestly my rant. I'm almost 39 weeks along and i'm not feeling any of the late pregnancy discomforts/signs whatsoever:
- I've only put on 22lbs with 8 days to go to EDD
- I sleep very peacefully at night, only wake up once to pee
- I have no backache, heartburn or shortness of breath
- I walk and move around easily, my DH actually says I walk too fast
- my bump still looks very high (though my mw says my baby's fully engaged and sitting very low)
- I've lost no mucus plug...only have very vague period like pain sometimes
So you'd think that I should be happy that I live in this relative comfort. But I have this stinging feeling that I will be pregnant forever (as in I will go into labour super late) or that there's something wrong with me or baby for not sharing any of the late pregnancy signs with other pregnant women. It doesn't help that I haven't had a scan since week 20...only my usual prenatal care appt's.
Now I actually don't want to go into labour early but I need to know there are other women out there who are not suffering as much so I feel slightly "normal" (if you guys know what I mean). Right now I'm stressed out even about not using the bathroom more than once per night like everyone else Is there something wrong with me?
Please tell me I'm not alone!!!!
