(if you care to read...I probably wouldn't...)
This pregnancy has just had a life of it's own. I was thinking today how different #4 was from the other 3...
*my belly button actually "popped" out this time! not only that but at about 32 weeks or so!
*Walking upstairs completely wears me out. So much so that when I get back down, I have to lie down or I think I may fall over
*Having Hubby gone has really been a factor in this pregnancy. Hormones are more wild than ever causing me to break down a lot more (and sadly yell more...I'm working on that!).
*If I pee my pants one more time because of bad coughing spell I will be investing in adult diapers!
*Nightime brings on flu like symptoms. Wierd, I know...but it's true. Suddenly I feel warm and aching all over... and I am constantly blowing my nose and coughing (which means more peeing!)
*I have major insomnia. I understand waking up to pee over and over or not being able to get comfortable...but with this pregnancy, I am wide awake around 3 or 4am...then after an hour or so I can finally go back to sleep...on the couch.
*I can't find my energy...at all. It's also hard because my youngest just turned 18 months and is VERY active. With my other pregnancies the kids were "slightly" older and would watch TV for hours while I slept...
Prego #1-- worked the entire pregnancy.....just dealt.
Prego #2--worked for the first trimester, then spent the second trimester sleeping on the couch in the mornings while BG watched playhouse disney. Fed her lunch and put her down for a nap...then continued to sleep ...then hubby was home. Around 20 weeks or so had TONS of energy and was super active.
Prego #3--Bugs had all his head stuff so I was CONSTATLY occupied with drs appointments. No time to really be sick or feel sorry for myself.
Current Prego-- ZERO energy from day one.
I was also induced with all 3... for good reasons. The first two were measuring at 8lbs a week before my due date so it was nice to have drs that decided that was getting pretty big. Sweets was induced on my due date becuase of my high amneotic fluid.
This one, I actually really am horribly uncomfortable and WANT to be induced so badly. It really does hurt. I have reflux and horrible contractions ALL day (around 4 every hour). Not to mention she has taken the liberty of living under my left rib. I feel swollen all the time... my inner thigh nerve burns constantly and stings like crazy. However... I can't be induced. Hubby has a HUGE test on the 4th and I'm due the 7th. This should be fun.....
