I can't take it any more!!! Someone please tell me how to get some relief!?

Question

i am 38 weeks +4, I asked a question earlier about how did you feel right before you went into labor. Well shortly after asking that question I got an incrediable craving for eggs and bacon. Well I went and cooked them and I got about half way through eating it and I started getting sick now I feel like s*it, the smell of bacon is in my house and it won't go away and it just makes it worse. I feel horrible and I just want this big baby of mine to come out!!! I mean the last time they checked he was almost 10lbs. I hurt I am tired I am sick and I can't stop this urge to clean. No one I know is the least bit sympathetic. I just want to sit down and cry. PLease someone tell me how to make this baby come out now!!! I really don't want to hear the baby will come when he is ready. I already know that.

My husband is working off and is supposed to be home tommorow. My doctor knows and he just thinks it is funny, cause he is a wennie. He won't induce because he is going on vacation friday. :(

Answer 1

If the doctor knows the baby is around 10 pounds they should be checking to see if your body is capable of delivering a baby of that size. You may need to have a c-section or an early induction. Talk to your doctor and express your concerns the baby is well developed enough at this point.

You could try nipple stimulation it makes the body release its owe hormones to cause uterine contractions. May or may not get things going but its fun to try.


Edit-wtf your doctor is a **** you should come before his vacation. Oh and in regards to the oioioi1234 character who says he's a doctor he asked a question 45 minutes ago asking about what to do about flu symptoms.

Answer 2

I hear you! My last pregnancy were twins and the whole pregnancy I heard how I should be prepared to go on bed rest, deliver early, etc. There I was at 38 weeks still taking care of my older kids and no sign of labor. Thankfully my doctor did not let twin pregnancy go beyond 38 weeks and I was induced. So just a word to say I sympathize with you, but unfortunately I don't know of any miraculous formula, believe me I tried all the safe ones: walked a lot, ate spicy food, etc. The only thing I can say is try to relax, pamper yourself, and enjoy this state a little, because when the baby comes you will have a lot of work. Good luck and congratulations!

Answer 3

Can you open a window or turn your AC to vent, it will help blow the smell out. I am very sympathetic to you!! I have been there. All I have ever heard is walking, and climbing stairs. Don't try the Castor Oil, my mom said all it did was give her diarrhea on top of everything else.
If you can get out of the house and go for a walk or a drive and just cry it out, I understand and have been there, it will be over soon.
They also told me my daughter was 10+ pounds and she was only 8.03 if that makes you feel better, turn out she just had a bigger head LOL, not huge or anything it runs in our family we all have bigger noggins, so that may be the case with your baby. They use measurements to determine the weight.
My doctor actually induced me due to her supposed size, and the induced labor went much smoother than my first that came on her own.
Hang in there!!!

Answer 4

It sounds like you are nesting which means he will be there pretty soon, but if you need relief right now, take a brisk walk around the block a few times while you leave the window open to air out the house, and if you have a medicine ball, sit on that in front of the TV when you get back. rock your hips back and forth and in a circle. It helps to widen your hips which gets everything going. If you don't have one, sit on a chair and do it. Try going up and down the stairs, but no heavy lifting. You can also have sex, there is something in semen that is said to work. Good Luck!

Answer 5

I know, and I hear you. My daughter is four weeks old, but I remember what those last days were like. Patronizing answers like, "Don't worry, honey, the baby will come when it's ready" made me want to strangle someone. That didn't help my misery at the moment, it just made me mad. Can you talk to your doctor and see if he'll consider inducing? Explain to him how miserable and sick you are. If he won't, perhaps he'll prescribe an anti-nausea medication and a mild sedative for you that won't harm the baby to help you relax and get some sleep? Good luck.

Answer 6

I totally feel for you...10 pounds! My advice is to get out of the house, open all the windows and put a fan in the window. Go to a 24 hour store (K-Mart/Meijer's) and catch up on grocery shopping, pick up some frozen entrees and paper plates/cups to use after you deliver to make meal preparation and cleanup easier. Hopefully the smell will have gone away by that time.

Answer 7

Go take a warm bath, pamper yourself with candles and bubbles, give yourself a facial, paint your nails. If you can really let yourself relax you will feel better and it helped my friend go into labor.

Other ideas
*Scrub your kitchen floor on your hand and knees...rinse the cloth out in the sink sso you have to get up and down alot!
*put the babies crib together...If its all ready together take it apart and put it together again
*Walk around the block, the mall, a park
*do some deep knee bends or sit on a birthing ball deep breathe and visualize your baby coming down the birth canal

I feel for you sweetie and does sound like you are nearing the end...Good luck!

Answer 8

normal gestation is 40 weeks. so you have a couple more weeks left (possible more or less) so you just have to wait for him to come out. before you go into labour you will feel your water break. water will come gushing out of your front passage and then you will feel strong contractions. these are very painful and will increase in severity and become more frequent. 10lbs is quite a lot but if your obstetrician is happy with that then that is ok. your cravings for different foods is normal during pregnancy. women are often sick during pregnancy because of high progesterone levels. this stops the bowel from contracting (peristalsis) and then delays the emptying of the stomach into the bowel. hence you can get bad reflux as well. also the baby can compress structures causing more, what doctors call "stasis". this means that contents dont pass through the tubes of the bowel like normal. it can also lead to constipation. the best advice is..... hang in there! you're almost there !!

Answer 9

i'd actually consult from somebody.. the two the bishop or your alleviation society president. It actually isn't ok on your husband to abuse you or everyone, and that they actually might actually assist you to any way they'd, and that they gained't decide you or your loved ones. My mom is alleviation society president, or maybe inspite of the indisputable fact that she does not tell me maximum issues, i understand that one element she has found out is that everybody has assorted issues of their existence and that what they are dealing with is frequently not a mirrored image of the guy. i'd fantastically propose speaking with whoever you sense maximum delicate chatting with.

Answer 10

I'm sorry, I don't have an answer for you but I do sympathize!!! I am also 38 weeks and feeling quite miserable as well. Hang in there girl, we'll make it!
Best of Luck!
