Seriously! I'm now 36 weeks and a few days and I'm done! My first was never this uncomfortable. I keep waking up in the middle of the night with painful contractions and then my stomach just aches b/c he moves so much and I wish I had like 10 extra pounds of padding b/c I just feel like I can't do it anymore!! I'm still working 40 hrs a week and I have my 2 yr old to take care of. I'm ready to cry! I don't understand why it hurts so bad this time around! Why is he so much lower than my first? I just wish I could have him already. I have a Dr's appt tomorrow and I think I'm gonna see if she'll put me on bedrest so I can at least have off work and try to rest. I can't keep doing this!!
Thanks! Same to you! We're almost there.. I keep trying to remind myself of that.

Your not alone! I feel the same way in pain all the time! I am also 36 weeks with my fourth(n last!)I wish I had some advice! I get maybe three hours sleep a night and so wore out in the morning I get so ill I am sure my kids are ready for mommy to have thier little brother soon LOL. I hope it gets better for you!
I know exactly how you ladies feel. I wake up every morning miserable and saying I cant do this another day and I've even had a crying spell twice this week.. Im so sore that it hurts to walk, sit, stand or switch sides in the bed aat night. At my last dr's appointment I asked if they would induce me at 38 weeks and she smiled and said well maybe at 39 weeks :-( I wasnt very happy to hear that. I have alot of medical issues which have required me to be on different meds and this is causing me so much worry about how the baby is going to be after he is born and the dr's also are telling me that he is going to be a very big baby and they just dont seem to be concerned about any of it. UGGH...its so frustrating but I know we are amost there and my lil man will be in my arms and it will all be worth it.....:-) Good luck ladies
im very sry u are having a hard time.. u should really try to get the bedrest deal b/c it sounds like u really need it...hope things brightin up for u good luck
Im also 36 weeks pregnant. I feel as though I literally cant get through another day. My back pain is EXCRUTIATING. I have fallen 3 times in the last two weeks.. because my hip decides it doesnt want to cooperate with the rest of my body. I am confined to a chair, because I literally cannot walk. Im miserable. I want it to be over. This is my 4th and LAST baby.. I have never been in this much discomfort with any of the other pregnancies.. I just cant believe it can hurt soo much!! UGH! ~Kristin~
Definitely you have to go on bed rest. Do you have payed leave because they will pay u as disability first then it will switch to maternity after you deliver. I was the same way and what sucks is they wont induce you until you are 39 weeks. and I have a 6 year old also and was a department manager. I left at 6 months I couldn't take it anymore. you have a 2 year old it must be harder for u. Do you have any help or support? My mom was my savior. Hang in there it will be over as soon as u know it. P.S. I had my tubes tied after my second.... and also what are you having?
I'm trying to hang in there at work, we're a small law firm with a lot of business and I want to have all my cases caught up so no has to work on my stuff while I'm gone. This 3 day weekend is amazing right now! I do have help, at the moment our IL's are living with us but sometimes it seems as though they are more trouble then help. lol gotta love IL's! This will be another boy and man o man I can't wait to meet him!! :O)

I know how you feel. I'm only 35 weeks but I'm tired all the time. I don't want to do anything. It feels like such a huge task to even go to the bathroom. My back and my feet are killing me. Everybody tries telling me I need to get outside and walk. First of all, I'm in Florida it's damn near 100* outside and 2 I'm to tired and sore to do anything. I'm not due until August 8th but it doesn't seem to be coming fast enough and I'm miserable
