[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, why are you having a third baby?  It sounds as though raising two kids has been difficult enough. I'm honestly not trying to be snarky when I ask, but you sound done already. Personally, I would not leave a baby at that age for 100 different reasons. But if you feel the absolute need to get away, then perhaps you should do it - and also consider talking about these feelings with your doctor. You could be depressed, which is a condition not solved merely by a vacation.[/quote]

I was just looking up prepartum depression. I am so over this pregnancy. Throwing up multiple times daily for 9 months has been absolutely awful. Everyday I feel more and more uncomfortable. When people complain of a stomach bug or flu, I almost feel angry because I feel worse daily than the worst sickness I felt prior to being pregnant with this baby. I can't wait for this baby to be out of me. I have never experienced depression before. I don't know if I am actually depressed or just sick of being sick all the time. I hope for the baby's sake that once she is born, I will bond with her and not feel this way. As of now, I don't feel much attachment. I just want pregnancy to be over with.[/quote]

OP, I'm the PP and, in reading your response, I urge you to please call your OB today and share everything you've posted here. Wanting to get away is understandable, but there is possibly more going on here. Before you plan any time away, you should get a handle on what's going on. Please do this for yourself. It will help more than any tropical trip ever could. There is nothing - nothing - wrong with admitting that you may be depressed and need some help. Best of luck to you. Let us know how you're doing.[/quote]
