Today I've felt a little like I just want to curl up in a ball (but that would be so uncomfortable) and cry! I'm trying to get over this nasty cold/flu that I have and I'm feeling like there's so much to be done before my baby is due. I hurt, I'm uncomfortable, and I have no energy. Yesterday I went in to get my hip adjusted. The last time I cried squeezy little tears when the chiropractor put my hip in. This time it didn't hurt as much but I'm really sore today and I don't think he put it in. So I can't go for a long walk and I really need to get out of the house. Two other friends who are due close to me have felt their babies dropping. Why won't my baby drop? My due date is November 19th, only two weeks and two days away, but what if I go a week late? I keep telling myself that my baby will come at the perfect time but I'm having a hard time believing that right now.
Am I ever going to take smoothly working hips or bending over easily for granted again?
Maybe I've finally hit the grouchy.don't.talk.to.me.blues. I don't know. Can I cry now?

You poor thing. I can completely relate because I literally just went through it...and you went through it with me. It does get to the point where all you can do is cry. At this point...2 weeks sounds so far away! If you want I can try to put your hip in or give you a massage. I have my table up. I have a really scratchy throat and a cough, but the fever only lasted over night. It's gone now thank goodness! I can also work on some pressure points for you to hopefully start labor. Just make sure you are better b/c we don't want to be passing this back and forth. We all need to get better so we can enjoy this upcoming weekend outside together. It's supposed to be really nice out!
Go right ahead.
To answer your last question yes you may. I did yesterday. To answer your second to the last question, you may but you also may not. LOL Be glad you rhip at least moves. My low back KILLS and when he tried to adjust it today it made my belly hurt so bad i felt like telling him not to even bother.
LOL!!! go have a good cry! my hip is already rusty and does its own weebles woobles moves.... its part of pregnancy, I would forget about doing more things before baby comes, just go on a maintence now, just try to stay comfy! and yes you will totally forget that you used to hurt. :) you will be too busy loving on Emma!
Cry it out girl, cry it out! I feel for you, the whole hip, and cold/flu, and all that goes along with not being able to move. Just remember, the end really is in sight. Some days you might need binoculars to see it, but it will be here before you know it! Oh and that whole baby dropping thing ... STOP comparing yourself to others due around the same time as you, in fact stop comparing yourself ... to anybody and you will feel perfect! =)
AS for trying to get your stuff done ... babes will come into this world completly in love with you and not even know what you have or haven't done! I Say get as much rest as you possibly can between here and there and if thats all you can accomplish, job well done mama!!!!!! Oh but make sure you have a some diapers and a newborn pacifier on hand and you should be ready to take on the world!
Hugs, I love you~
It will all be worth it soon!!!
no two mamas drop the same. you might wait to drop the day before you go into labor, or a week before. that's the beauty of being your own person.. you do it your own way! hang in there, it is worth it all.. I know so, I'm nursing a handsome son right now!
@pwdrgurl - @The_Carpers - i pretty much felt too ridiculous to cry so i didn't. i've got this feeling that it'll catch up with me sooner or later. i'd probably have felt so much better if i'd just have let myself bawl. i told myself i wasn't going to compare myself to anyone else but it's hard not to.
I was very pregnant at church one day. I was in the bathroom at Church & this kind lady asked me how I was doing. I immediately embarassed myself & burst into tears. Cry, it is good for you & releases tension. My 9th month was when I didn't do hardly anything but put jigsaw puzzles together. Too miserable & uncomfortable to do anything else. Hope you have a great labor & delivery & that both Mama & Emma are just fine. Can't forget Daddy has he will be nervously watching.
It is worth it all, (andrew is 2 months old & we're having so much fun wth him!) but I well remember it was exactly 2 wks b4 my due date, somehow it seemed like an ETERNITY til he would ever make his appearance & i wondered if i would really & truly make it! Thinking of you....
don't know if it helps you to know, you are completely normal. oh my. at this point, things can get very emotional. esp. when every day seems like a year. I think two weeks before was when the crazies hit me too. I'm thinking it's some clever plan to make women want to go through labor--anything to keep from being pg any longer!
*extra big hugs* being sent your way.
aww...i know where you're at girl!!! those last couple weeks can be wretched! i thought it would never end. every day you wake up thinking " i could have the baby today" and every night you go to be without a baby and TRY to sleep. i couldn't sleep during the night very well for some reason. alot cuz i had terrible back pain. i'd lay there for hours. finally i'd cry my little heart out. i'd just have too much and couldn't take it anymore. but one day, lo and behold, it ACTUALLY happened!!! and then the days just FLY by!!!! and btw, i have NEVER ceased to be thankful since then for a back that doesn't continuously ache.
@special_destiny - i have had so much back pain too! I carry really low I guess so it's been tough to sleep. My hips hurt so much too when I'm laying down but that's worse toward morning after I have finally fallen asleep, lol. Something about this final stage has made me start feeling more like complaining. Tonight I decided to really try not to think about it or have any expectations of having this baby early. In retrospect, this is such a short time. I need to enjoy this final time when my baby is still this wonderful delicate mystery floating in my stomach. (except not exactly floating so much anymore. )
