I'm so so over this pregnancy. I'm going to be so honest, I feel like I'm stuck in such a bad place. Gestational Diabetes has just topped it all off. I cannot wait for this all to be over and will be begging the doctor for an earliest cesarean as possible. I didn't think it would be this hard, with this many issues! I pictured an easy pregnancy and then following my VBAC plan, but due to so many issues I've decided that I need to plan something. Have a set date, know that I won't end up with an emergency cesarean and going through a cesarean before, I know what's going to happen.
I'll get onto writing my Cesarean Section Birth Plan soon.
I'm having a terrible sickness day today, so I'm feeling more down. I haven't stopped throwing up since 5.30 this morning! My teeth are so over this sickness and my throat is on fire! I've also been prescribed another medication for reflux cause my throat just burns all the time.
Also my pelvis! Oh my goodness, my pelvis! Baby is engaged and I'm pretty sure I could sneeze her out. Last night Jydan had a meltdown and I ended up on the floor for ages consulting him and literally got stuck. I'm glad Tim was home because I could not move my pelvis to get myself to stand up. I was in tears!
Oh! And to top of my week, I'll be starting insulin for my gestational diabetes on Thursday because I can't keep my numbers down. I'm trying to do more exercises to help. This stupidly included trying to do some laps at the pool. I ended up having an asthma attack.
I should really be on a sex ed commercial. Pregnancy is hard!!

Oh I am so sorry! What you are going through sounds so awful. At least there's only 2 months left to go, and then it will all be worth it!! By the way, I love her name, it's so beautiful. :)
