[quote=Anonymous]36 weeks, and the pregnancy has been rocky, to include broken bones, sprained ankles, ended up with gestational diabetes ( first for me). I'm feeling HUGE, they're debating a c-section ( a first for me again. My work is insane, I have so much to do and everyone is pushing me to get all of it done before maternity leave. I have told work that I have limited capacity now (I have to go to the hospital for monitoring multiple times a week), and I may get a few days with no additional to do items, but then they flood me with them.

On top of that, we're supposed to close on a new house one week after baby is set to arrive. I'm trying to see if I can move it earlier so we can start clearing things out, but there's so much to do.

My anxiety is off the charts. DH helps, and is main child care provider and has managed most meals, as for all of my doctor appointments, they end up delaying me getting home by hours most nights because I have to finish work.

Everyone I work with is like 25 yo, no children, and with how big my belly is, my melasma, etc, I feel huge.

I cried today because I wanted to get a pedicure with my daughter. I haven't had time to go during the week, I've been working weekends , and this past weekend was the only time I had. We drove to 5 different places to find all the nail salons closed. I finally just did it myself.

I have a hard time wanting to see well meaning friends and at the same time get sad when I see them out together. I just want to hide in the house and under my covers. I'm irritable and testy and it's not really fair to my family. At the same time, I'm annoyed b/c DH hasn't helped me pack at all. I can't nest. he's been on his phone all day doing nothing, but I want to cut him a break b/c I know daily drop offs and pick ups are hard. [/quote]
