34 Week Belly Shot and Preggo Meltdown Story

Ok so first.. here is my bump (it still deflates and inflates) I think it's weird.. but anywho.. it is what it is..





And on to my preggo.. meltdown (which I can laugh at now)

Finally it happened (sigh) 'It" as in I had my first "major" preggo break down. Tuesday, I was scheduled for a 3:00 US and a 4:00 appointment with my OB. I usually have the same US technician this time I did not. I am a sneeze away from 34 weeks and none and I mean none of the pictures came out clear. You would have thought I was newly preggo. I could not identify 5 fingers and toes, the 3D option was horrible. I dont think she knew what that the hell she was doing. I know my LO has everything he needs.. this was very apparent in my other US visits but just think of how scary it is for your final US to be so blurry and have no visual results (atleast that I could see) I was hysterical when me and DH left, then off to the OB where I was still so upset about my US that I dropped my urine in the sink (everything spilled) and when I got up from wiping myself I accidently pulled the emergency "assitance needed" cord and about 5 nurses ran to the bathroom attempting to kick in the door. I was so frazzled, embarassed and angry I felt dizzy. I got on the scale and  somehow I lost, yes lost 5lbs. When they took my blood pressure it was 147 over something and then she retook it and it was back to 119 over something. 6 more weeks, please little boy just come on out for mama.. I am so tired of worrying about your every move, your every kick.. I am sure there will be more worries and anxieties when you join the outside world but for now  my prayer is that you are healthy, happy and gaining weight.

AWw I am so sorry you had a bad day! My US tech told me that the pictures aren't as good now because the baby is so big. Not sure if she was blowing smoke up my butt or not.

You look GREAT!

Hey lady!!  I hear ya!  This point is SO NOT COMFORTABLE!  And I'm SO EMOTIONAL!  Don'****ch 16 & pregnant....I did and it was a MISTAKE!  They made this girl give her baby away and didnt tell her that she HAD to do adoption until she was 34 wks along.  I sat on the couch and cried and cried!

But anyway...the ultrasound pics.  yes....mine sucked too!  Its the how far along you are.  Baby is all scrunched up and its hard to even see them clearly at all.  Mine had both arms over her face...way to go 'Bella.  They just have no room.  And I get the dropping things and being embarrassed about them.  I can't even see my feet anymore(your tummy looks like mine...but yours is cuter!!!!) so I try to trip all the time...luckily it hasnt gotten me yet.

And I get the anxiety over the baby.  I still worry over her so much....SOOOOOOO MUCH!  I  am so worried I won't know when to call.  I called this morning because though she did 10 movements in like 16 mins...there are days I barely feel her...and then others where I think she moves TOO MUCH!  I even called about TOO MUCH movement.  So I totally get it.  So totally done with being prego.  I want my baby out.  My blood pressure looked high, but then I was arguing with my hubbie the whole way to the visit, so I am thinking that could be it. 

I still dont know how much they are supposed to move & kick.  The doc's office was like, "call us if she isnt active during her normal times".  Normal times...wth is that?  This baby doesnt have normal times.  She is busy when she feels like it, and naps when she doesn't.  I am just trusting in the Lord...its all I can do.  And really all I need.  I lost weight too at my 34 wk appt.  Wonder if that means that the baby will come sooner than 40 wks?  We can hope!  Oh....and MY GRIPe?  Why oh why does my pelvis feel broken?  I feel like I am gonna be walking around holding myself looking like I'm trying to get my swagger on when I am just trying to walk upright?????????????????????

Hey Jasmin,

I know how you feel... I have been super emotional lately!! I wasn't like this with my first so it is all new to me. I recognize you from the drama board ...er I mean, May 2010 board at babycenter.com. Those kids over there are something else! Any rate, we don't have too much longer to go and then we'll probably be wishing they were back inside shielded from the mean outside world!

LOL@ Maypril. Yes.. no words are better than drama for that board..LOL.  I hate being so hormonal, emotional and just out of wack period (sigh) Thank everyone for the encouraging words!

First, you look GREAT!!  Second...boy o boy...my husband says I have a heart of stone; but you wouldn't know it...just reading your bad day made tears come to my eyes!!!  WHY O WHY!!  And Anne is correct what ever you do don'****ch 16 & preggo; that same episode I cried from the beginning to end...

Good luck these next several weeks!  Stacey

 Oh honey....I so feel your pain.

First off, your bump is super adorable :)  

I'm 39 weeks and had a similar kind of day yesterday.....different things happening including a fall while walking my dog making me feel and look like a weeble wobble toy.  cut up my hands and elbows and i just had a total mental breakdown and cried and cried.  

I'm so ready for Aidan to come out already!  

Hang in there, the bad days only last a day :)  

You look beautfiul!!!
I had a bad ultrasound also, it sucked, they didn't even give me one picture! I was pretty ticked off and emotional too. The farther along I get, the more emotional I get and I am an emotional person anyway, it really sucks. I can cry over anything, and I sometimes do.

you look so cute with your bump! And you think you are impatient now for your baby to come, wait till you are like 2 weeks away, you will be dying! I'm 38 wks and plan to be induced next weekend, but would love to go this weekend to have my baby boy! The past month has really slowed down for me and it's taken forever for me to even get to this point. I am just trying to enjoy the fact of having 2 kids still and not having to take care of a baby 24/7 yet, it's a lot of work (but fun!). You're almost there, just hang on! lol
