I cried hysterically at 39W5d when my best friend, who was two weeks behind me, went into spontaneous labor. I remember being in the shower and just bawling saying THIS BABY WILL NEVER COME OUT and I could not be happy for my friend. It was awful.

Went to my appointment the next day and blood pressure had spiked. Was admitted that day and induced. So basically, it could happen at any moment! I know that doesn't much help right now at the end when every day is torture...

I keep reminding myself that no one is actually pregnant forever. It’s not really helping.

And then DH and I will just go away for a few days!"

DH is one of those people that people flock to because he's super personable--everyone wants to be friends with him. But a lot of these people just don't get it.



A road trip!?!? What is wrong with these people?

Possible solution. Send the road trip buddy and the “I want to be there for the birth” Buddy on a road trip together before you go into labor

Also, for what it’s worth - and I hope you don’t need to resort to this - but the nurses at sibley and presumably other hospitals will absolutely tell visitors that they can’t come in and have to wait in the waiting rooms.


Thanks for the support, everyone. I was afraid I was just flipping out so it's good to see that my reaction is justified.

The hard part is my own family won't be there since one of my parents is extremely ill and needs constant care so it's extra frustrating and infuriating for me that these people are acting like they can take the place of my family -- referring to themselves as uncles/brothers, etc. when they've never even met my real family or made an effort to ask about them.


Your reaction is completely justified, though honestly, it seems like these are not important people.

My bigger concern would be how your husband reacts to this. Like, he does not seriously think he's going on a road trip with his friends and having them stay over in the house when you have a fresh baby, right? He doesn't think that it's a "cool supportive thing" for his friend to show up with a sixer at the hospital?

DH put his foot down, though he was much nicer about it than I would have been and was like, "well he doesn't understand because he doesn't have kids so we should be nice."

I’ve been feeling so guilty lately, because I’m just over the pregnancy. I’m 35 weeks with my first. DH is reminding me how great and wonderful and beautiful pregnancy is , which is so sweet of him. But I’m just done. I want to sleep on my back, I want to walk up the stairs and not feel out of breath, my back ache ALL OF THE TIME, I also want to eat an actual meal not just 5 bites of dinner. I love feeling the baby inside of me, but it’s just frustrating when I’m trying to sleep and baby punches my bladder and kicks my ribs. I love my baby, I’m just rest to have him out of me and hold him in my arms.
Reading all of your responses just reminds me I’m not the only one going through this. Power of sisterhood.
Thanks for letting me rant.

I am 39 weeks and my hips are suddenly killing me, on my right side in particular. A week ago I was still taking a HIIT class at the gym. Now I walk with a limp. What the heck???

I’m over it.
