I am so tired of being pregnant ... my first son came at 39 weeks and I am so ready for that to happen again, but its looking more and more that's not going to happen... I have a few theories on this.... 1) my first was due in sept. So getting outside and walking was well easier. Now its nasty cold out and I have to bundle him up and me, and then by the time I get everyone dressed I have to pee again...
DH and I have been tring sex to help induce contractions, but that also does not seem to be working. Yesterday I spent 10 mins on the breast pump hearing that nipple stimulation might also work.... so far nothing, but I was kind of surprised I actually had a little collostrum... I will try it again later today....
I need to get out and walk. I need this baby out! The frustrations are mounting. DH is outside regional sales for ME, NH and VT and has been sticking to and hr to an hr and a half from home for the past 2 weeks since at my 37 week appt I was 2cm dialated and about 75% effaced. At my 38 week appt I was still only 2cm dialated and about 80% effaced and told any day now.... here I am 39 weeks still no major cramps or contractions.... christmas is coming and while our due date has always been 12/27 the truth is I've always wanted the baby to come earlier if possible. I would so perfer a before christmas baby to on or after christmas baby... I know you can't plan these things... but this is starting to suck!
Next is our health insurance. I had an ectopic pregnancy and needed emergency surgery back in Feb which fulfilled our out of pocket expenses and responsibilities so this baby needs to come before the end of the year! Us having to dish out another$ 2500 would financially wreck us! Money is so tight, I know for so many and we're not alone, but its something that's seriously weighing on me....
I was working during my first pregnancy and had my own insurance which had an amazing maturity package. My husbands insurance while we're thankful we have it does not nearly have a fantastic maturity package. I think b/c his company is so big the overhead alone for such a package would make it unrealistic....
Anyways had to vent.... I was much more angry about the baby taking its sweet aass time this morning come 1am when I was lying awake!
