Just can't take it anymore!

I keep telling myself that it's not a big deal and I'm almost done but I really feel like they need to ship my off to a room with padded walls. I hate complaining but I'm so frustrated and I feel like I have no out let. The stupid contractions I have been having since December have passed the annoying and sometimes painful to making me cry. Friday morning was a nightmare. I was trying to breathe through them and not make a big deal about it but DH caught on anyway and asked me if I was in labor. He won't go anywhere now without making sure the phone is within my reach but I don't think the stupid contractions are doing a thing. Erik rubbed my back Friday morning and they eased up a bit but since then there is at least one every half an hour, most of them hurt, I really can't believe how bad some of them hurt. I checked my cervix this morning and though I really don't know exactly what I'm looking for, it still felt nice and closed up

On top of that everything just hurts anyway. I can't walk without wanting to cry out in pain. I'm so upset too cause I want to get material to make Xandria a blanket but I know I can't handle walking all over the store (I acutally got material already but like the dork that I am I got the wrong stuff

) I really don't know how to handle another four and a half weeks of this and that's if I don't go a week over like a I did with Tai. I don't even dare to try and hope she'll come early even with all these stupid BH's. The one positive thing I ca see right now is Erik keeps grabbing the lotion bottle and starts rubbing my back and belly without me saying a word. Bless his heart, he probably thinks he married an insane woman.

Sorry for such a long whinny post, I'm just so frustrated. Now that I know she's healthy I just want her to come out! And oh look, surprise another stupid contraction that isn't doing a thing but making me feel like the baby.

I can feel your pain! That is one of the major reasons why I am not having anymore babies. My pregnancy with Sarah was so painful that I was ready to do the c-section myself.
Erik is such a sweetheart for tring to make you feel better.

You poor thing. Those contractions are such a PITA (literally). Erik is great for looking after you, but I know that last month is rough regardless of how many back rubs you get out of it.

I felt the same with Bailey. I was miserable

Maybe you should see if Erik will rub your feet while he is at it.

Your post made me cry and helped me see that I'm not alone too. I was up Saturday night till 3:00 am with the stupid pain and then last night for a few hours too. I know what you're going through

I want her to come but then I'm scared about going into labor again. I have so many "what if's"

Erik sounds like my DH in trying everything to make us comfortable. I don't feel like going anywhere or getting ready. It's just too much of an effort.

I totally feel with you on this one. Wanna' run away together??

Sorry you are feeling so cruddy.

That's very nice of your DH to give you the back rubs and try to help out.
