Will this ever end?
So....had an appointment today with the midwife. I'm still only 3cm and 70% effaced- same as last week. I'm told that's a good start but I just feel like no progress is being made. I've been having contractions for weeks now and i'm still sitting here waiting for real labor to begin. It feels like i'm never going to have this baby. I'm worried about her being late and being too big and ending up having to have a c-section. I know, I still have another week to go before my due date so these are irrational fears right now. I'm just so uncomfortable...I can't sleep and i'm still working full time at a job that requires me to be on my feet all day. Also, I am down to 3 pairs of pants that fit.
To top it off, i've developed an itchy ratch across my stomach that women sometimes get with pregnancy. The midwife called it something but i don't remember the medical terminology for it. I just know it itches. On top of the stretch marks that sting and burn.
Ok, i'm done complaining. Thanks for listening to me vent! |
