The last three nights have been a NIGHTMARE!!! I feel like shes going to crawl out and the pelvic pressure is unbelievable, not to mention the most painful BH ever (who said they are painless??? I'll kick his ass for lying, as it was most likely a man!)

And this keeps getting more intense ever night.

Are any other full term girls going thru this?
that Im getting close, because I dont know how much I can take!!

me me me me me!

Only lying on my side is causing my hip sockets to be very sore by the morning. If I can't get to sleep, I end up tossing and turning - and if you're like me, that's not an easy thing.

A toss and turn, ends up looking more like:

1. Contemplate which body part is strongest to initiate motion.
2. Lift knees slightly to brace for flip.
3. Grab anything that is tied securely for leverage.
4. Shift either upper half or lower half of body to opposite hip (I usually do lower half first).
5. Catch breath
6. Wait out a BH
7. Shift other half of body to same side.
8. Finish catching breath, try to close eyes and go back to sleep as heart is racing, and another BH is just finishing.
9. Baby wakes up and spends next 5 mins finding new sleeping spot in very cramped abdomen.
10. Oh, damn. I gotta pee AGAIN.



By the time morning rolls around, my pubic bone and hips are so sore! I'm almost glad to get up and start the day.

Almost.



But we're counting off a few weeks now, not months, and that is a small consolation

Thank god I have a Dr. appointment today... makes the weeks go by a little faster having a checkup every 7th day.

wow, both of you are SO close, I can't believe how quickly time is flying!

I hope both of your LO's arrive soon.

She has all day to do this!!! Why wait till nighttime, damn it!!
I have my appt tomorrow and will definitely ask my ObGyn to maybe do an internal, because there's no way in hell why a person should go thru such agony without something actually happening down there..

Well, I feel great..

hah! Youve had your share of pregnancy nightmares, so enjoy feeling great!

I am sore by morning as well. I have not been having painful BH, but I will cramp a bit after I go for a wee break. Today my stomach just feels off.

Margerle, the way you described it just made me laugh for the first time today, thanks. I know all about the hour long process to get comfortable and then realising you need to pee.

I've found using hubby as a lever to help me turn works quite well. Luckily he sleeps like a log so doesn't notice :-)

Its not long now !!!

I noticed today it' getting really difficult to stand up from sitting/lying down. Not just painful (which it is too) but practically. I have NO balance whatsoever. It's like planning a military operation. Just praying it's not long now! lol
