Is it bad? Am I a bad person? Does this mean I'm going to be a terrible, irritable, impatient mother?
I've had it. SO had it. Already. And I've still got 4 weeks to go. Shite.
WARNING: I'm about to rant.
I'm sick of being heavily beaten up from the inside out.
I'm sick of getting up multiple times every night to go to the toilet.
I'm sick of wearing black tights.
I'm sick of feeling massive.
I'm sick of having sore ribs.
I'm sick of filling up the hot water bottle.
I'm sick of worrying about whether we'll have the labour we want to.
I'm sick of worrying about how much it's going to cost.
I'm sick of wondering whether we have everything we need.
I'm sick of the drilling going on nextdoor, and downstairs, and everywhere I look.
I'm sick of not being able to sink a few glasses of champagne without feeling guilty.
I'm sick of struggling to walk up stairs.
I'm sick of having pork phalanges.
I'm sick of feeling incapable.
Mostly? I'm sick of waaaaaaaiting.
Fashion TV (more accurately, the Victoria's Secret show) is playing right in my face in the cafe I'm sitting at as I'm writing this. Stupid skinny, beautiful people. I'm sick of you too.
I'm going to blame this rant on some form of pregnancy hormone and the nasty cold I've had for the past few days. But sweet baby cheesus, I'm SO over it.
I can only imagine my patience is going to be tested a hell of a lot more in the future, so am kind worried about having little-to-none of it right now. Tell me it's just a late pregnancy thing? Or am I going to be a crazy, snappy, impatient mum?
Sigh, sigh, sigh....

They say pregnancy last for 8 months and then 2 years at the end.... I thought I was going to be pregnant forever... (I wasn't, needless to say)
It will all go back to normal soon.... maybe not soon enough for you but it will happen!
Can't give you firsthand advice on the birthing to parenting impatience ratio Bridget, but I'm thinking that you hit the nail on the head with the comforting delights of a slice of sweet baby cheesus.
Preferably grilled on a thick piece of scrummy bread....works for me every time I feel tetchy or the troops [particularly the teens] need settling.
Popping a piece of deliciousness into their whining gobs is a lifesaver of the very best kind.
Needless to say I resemble a whale but am a 'whole' lot happier!
Hang in there, the last month/s can be rough. I try reassuring myself that it's only a few more weeks, and that might be a luxury some moms/babes don't get. Then I go eat chocolate, put my feet up and ask my husband in that teary voice if he would please give me one of those lower back massages he's so good at...
Ha! Be thankful you're not an elephant - 22 month gestation periods. 9mths is a long time still - not long now.................. :) x
The last month or so can get like that, I remember it well...and I'm doing it all again so just remember, it will be totally worth it when you meet your baby :)
Also, I hope you don't get huge (and I mean HUGE) swollen feet, lower legs and ankles. I got it so bad in my last pregnancy towards the end it was awful. Then your patience will really be tested.
Big hugs to you - I'm right behind you (25 weeks now!)

The end is probably the worst because you're crapping yourself over the birth, and it's hard to find ways to occupy yourself. I spent the last 2 weeks of my first pregnancy eating chocolate, watching The Sopranos end to end and worrying that the baby would NEVER EVER come out.
You'll be whatever kind of mum you choose to be. Try to relax now because once bubs arrives you is going to be busy, lady. x
Clean and presses work your shoulders and legs, and you do them with a barbell. Place a weighted barbell on the floor and stand behind it with your feet shoulder-width apart. After bending your knees and hips to lower your body, grasp the bar with an overhand, slightly wider than shoulder-width grip. In a steady motion, lift the bar off the floor, swing it around and hold it at upper chest height for a second. From this position, hoist it straight over your head and hold again for a second.Generic Campral Slowly lower it to chest height and then back to the floor in a steady motion.
Perfect piece of writing rich in information. I have been looking for such a post for a long time.
