How frustrating that at 7 and a half months along I am starting to finally not "LOVE" being pregnant!
Sleepless nights as I toss and turn in discomfort and pain. Nausea kicking back in and power kicks from our little that feel as if he is using my insides for boxing practice.
I am such a little complainer and my sweet husband continues to love me and stay patient with me through it all.
Stayed home from work today (which I hate doing) because of the pain I am in. My glute and hip areas are so uncomfortable that sitting, standing and walking all bring tears.
The nurse advised me to take some Tylenol PM and rest for the day, but I have done so well all pregnancy not taking any medications except my pre-natals and I somehow feel if I take something now its gonna mess me up!
Am I being paranoid?
I am going to need to do something different to make it this last leg of the race.
My goal is to work all the way up until this baby comes but sitting at a desk for eight hours a day is becoming unbearable. Even with elevated feet, blanket propped behind my back and constant walks to the bathroom, I still feel so uncomfortable throughout the day.
I EXPECTED discomfort the further along I got, but I was not expecting this. I keep hearing that voice in my head saying "Suck it up Kyla. Women have been having babies for thousands of years and they all experience the same thing and they all survived."
I keep comparing myself to all the other sweet girls at work who are pregnant and wonder how the HECK they put on smiley faces EVERY DAY and seem to be as happy as clams! Not fair.
Guess I just needed to vent a little today. Feeling bad that I'm not being "tougher". How am I going to be when Labor kicks in? Oh my heck, I can't even being to think about THAT yet. Ten weeks to get it together little momma.
Thanks for listening to me vent.
Stay tuned for a second post today about a fun Family Home Evening activity Kev and I tried that you can do with your families!
Happy May Readers.
Don't be too hard on yourself. Everyone's pregnancies are different. My biggest issue I have during pregnancy is INTENSE back pain..started this time around 15ish weeks and hurts every single day! :) Just do what is best for you and don't worry about anyone else. As far as meds go, I try not to take them while pregnant, but I do take them if I just can't handle anymore. So just do what you feel is right. Hope you get feeling a little better soon!
ReplyDeleteP.S. Some days can be way worse than others--maybe today is just one of those bad, really uncomfortable days.
Like Brittany said, every pregnancy is different. With my first, I was miserable and hated every second of my life. With my second, I didn't even feel pregnant until I was nine months along - it was the easiest pregnancy ever.
ReplyDeleteAnd things change. Some might get better some might get worse. That pain you're experiencing is just your hips spreading, it will subside. :)
You are SO adorable by the way. Can't wait to see pictures of the sweet little guy!
Oh! By the way, if you don't want to take medicine get a massage. You will feel SO much better!!
