Braxton-Hicks (more whining than b@#$%ing)
this is what happens when everyone you know assures you that you will go early. 2 weeks to go and having major BH all the time (they were about 10 minutes apart for over an hour this afternoon and went away.) I have them so often that I am convinced I will ignore them when they are real. this has been going on for 1 1/2 weeks now and just getting more intense.
I am ready for him to get out! Plus he keeps bumping up against my cervix which is the most painful part. And my feet are swollen and wearing TED hose all the time to prevent the swelling has led to my getting athlete's foot (which DH had to diagnose as I cannot see my feet and could not figure out why they were burning. i though i maxed out on peppermint foot lotion.) am also tired of night float.
i keep reading flagger's posts -- the thought of going even one day over my due date is so discouraging. i've sent DH out for primrose oil and am getting closer to breaking down and at least buying the castor oil. although everyone tells me that it is good that I am still working, that otherwise I would be going stir crazy at home, i think I would rather do that than go stir crazy at work for 80 hours a week!
i apologize for the pity party. jack just gave me a good nudge, so I assume he is apologizing too.
