Had my little girl two days ago! Two days overdue, she was posterior (Flipped at the last minute and came out the right way) and her head didn't engage until she came out. Labour only an hour and a half!!

Had totally had enough of being pregnant, but eventually they DO come!]]> Wed, 27 Jul 2011 15:36:41 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39753&PID=1368069&title=just-over-it#1368069 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39753&PID=1368058&title=just-over-it#1368058 Author: Flicker

I thought I was going to be pregnant forever ,every single time,with my first I thought she was actually too...erm,dense to realise she needed to get out.
My kids were 8 days over,7 days over and 14days over....took their time but they made it out eventually.

Totally hear you all, it can get pretty hard at the end, but at least you know it is nearly over, just keep holding onto that thought, and try to enjoy the last few days/weeks with your partner (if it is your first) before your lives change forever.

I found that planning something to do each day helped when I was in that final countdown - like a visit to a friend's place, a movie, a coffee out - just little treats. They helped the time to go.

Also during the first trimester (which is always the worst for me as I have such bad MS and just want to curl up in a ball and die most of the time) I had a picture of my scan photo on my phone and that helped me remember what all this was happening for. I used to look at it when I was feeling particularly low.
Keep focused on the fact that you are going to have a baby soon and it will all be worth it in the end!
good luck!

The last few months of my pregnancy I was in tears practically every time I took a step,my heartburn,which had been bad with my other two was so unbearable this time I would wake up crying,I was nauseous constantly,my back hurt all the time and I had a toddler to run around after and a child who had just started a new school.
I went 2 weeks over and thought I was going to go crazy,now however,its all a distant memory.

If this is your first,and you are no longer working SLEEP when you can,you don't get the chance to rest so much when you have toddlers as well. ]]> Wed, 20 Jul 2011 23:30:32 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39753&PID=1365389&title=just-over-it#1365389 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39753&PID=1364538&title=just-over-it#1364538 Author: BikeBaby

I'm still here as well, have had a cold for the last week and a half and have ended up with a sinus infection so conversely I am now happy to stay preggers for a few days longer till I feel better.

I didn't know how mums managed to be pregnant with other kids but you just do it, you don't have any choice.

It scares me!!!! I went to 41+6 with Jacob, and I coped by taking it super-easy and just chilling out the whole time. I was uncomfortable, but at least there were no demands on me.

Pregnancy is hard work! It's physically and emotionally draining not to mention the hormonal mind trip you spend months on. Give yourself a break, it really is ok to not be ok with feeling like cr@p.

It's perfectly normal be gentle with yourself and get as much rest and relaxation as you can you'll need it for the birth and the first couple of weeks of sleepless nights.

Am I just being a wimp here? I am just totally over being pregnant and finding it really hard to stay composed. Everything hurts, I constantly have heartburn and feel sick and have headaches and I just don't know what to do with myself. I'm worried as I've still got 4 weeks to go! Any advice on coping with this for another month!?]]> Thu, 30 Jun 2011 10:52:42 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39753&PID=1355540&title=just-over-it#1355540
