Oh honey I know how you feel. *hugs* Just be strong and be patient. Talk to your grandma and tell her that you apreciate her help but that you need things to be done your way so that everything feels right when the baby comes home. The hot flashes and numb hands are a direct symptom of being 9 months pregnant and not uncommon at all. See if you can contact a day spa that has a prenatal massage therapist and treat yourself to a massage and a manicure to aleviate some of this stress. Try to relax adn enjoy your last few days of pregnancy, they will go by more quickly than they seem to be going now and soon you will have to focus all of your attention on the baby. Hang in there

I know how hard it can be to do this, but let your grandmother do things her way for a while. Try not to stress about it if things aren't just the way you want them. It's only temporary. Then try to relax as much as possible. Your baby will be here sooner than you think and things will get better for you physically during recovery. I know the misery of the physical pain that far along in pregnancy. By 38 weeks for me, in my 2nd pregnancy, I was carrying a 10lb 5oz baby boy!!! I felt like my back was going to break in two!! Congrats and I wish you the very best!!!

I am assuming this is your first. Its all hormones and will die down sometime after the baby turns 25. Your on the downhill, remind yourself constantly that everyday the baby is in you, it will be healthier. And enjoy these last few days of quiet and freedom. I had my first come a month early and no matter how bad it was and how much I love my son, I wish I had those extra days to be selfish and only have to worry about me. 2 weeks to go and you are doing good, just hang in there. Have you gotten her to clean the whole house yet, try having her do laundry and let her reorganize the cupboards, you can always rearrange them later.

Right now it seems like it will NEVER end- but it will.
Where is the father at in all this? Have him help you relax- give you bathrubs- draw you a bath.
Right now- sleep as MUCH as you can- that will be terribly lacking for several weeks, once the baby arrives.
Just take every day one at a time- the baby will be in your arms in no time.
Good luck and best wishes!

Get some cold compresses for the back of your neck and wrists and a cold glass of ice tea. Let grandma help pamper you. Stop worrying about how the towels are folded (example) and concentrate on feeling better and having a healthy baby. Best Wishes.

It can be very hard having someone try to run things I know I had to live with my mother in law through my whole pregnancy GOD HELP ME! It's horrible but it did get a little better when I finally said "listen I appreciate you trying to help I really do but i can handle this, This is my routine and I'd like it done this way..."
With the back part! welcome to the club all you can do is take a warm bath take some Tylenol and hope someone is nice enough to give you a good massage...I hope your delivery goes well it sounds like it's going to be soon!

Just be patient with her, she'll be a great help to you and you'll see, just let her know who's the woman of the house, but I tell you don't get angry at her cause she'll be a good help. Wait, you're having your baby anytime now you'll be back to normal. Try to not get stress cause that's not good for you or the baby, concentrate just on you two, try to be as relax as possible, that will make things easier. Relax.

Hang in there, don't let her bother you too bad. She is just trying to help in the way she knows. Take the time to take a nap, lay around DO NOTHING because in a short time - your going to wish someone was there to do it for you...The first couple of months are rough ( 6 weeks ) don't stress!!! Everything will be back to normal in a little while.....Best of luck to You and yours... Happy Holidays....

For the physical symptoms, you'll just have to wait. As far as Grandma is concerned, if you allow her to help, you kind of have to let her do it her way. Yeah, it's your house and you're all grown up now, she gets it already. But it's not fair to ask her to do the work of taking care of you and then make her learn a whole new routine on top of it.

well, you could either tell grandma to leave town, get a motel room, or you could relax a bit. Let granny do all the work. It may not be done your way, but as long as she doesn't set the house on fire, let her do it. Relax, and concentrate on your body and your baby, not the house.
