Yep...so I pumped so much yesterday that my nipples are bleeding today. During the pumping my contractions were two minutes apart. As soon as I stopped they would space out. I checked my cervix after all the activity and NOTHING. Still stubbornly posterior and closed. I guess I should just keep trying the positioning exercises to get him to turn from posterior and resign myself to another week of working (hey only four days of working since day 5 will bring major abdominal surgery complete with painkillers that I hate and the resultant constipation and swelling that make me miserable for weeks on end). Running away to Alaska is starting to seem like a brilliant plan.
So this is my last week to be pregnant ever. I had always pondered doing one more after this time but I can't imagine it now. After three c-sections who would want me? And I can't imagine starting over, finding a new family to help, etc. So this is my grand hurrah. I will miss pregnancy immensely. And I will miss how special surrogacy makes me feel. But the time has come to embrace my gray hair and my teenage kids. The time has come to stop growing families for others and concentrate on my own family. And the time has come to halt the spreading of the arse and bring about the shrinking of the arse.
Hugs sweetie. Never say never, either. You have blessed so many... you deserve total brownie points and gold stars in heaven.
ReplyDeleteYes, hear hear!!! Do something special just for you this week... go get a massage and spend time alone enjoying the last few days.
ReplyDeleteYou deserve it!!
Oooh, there's an idea. Find someone who does pregnancy massage. There are certain points they usually stay away from because it can cause you to go into labor. Have them massage you there! (I think it's certain parts of your feet and ankles, but it's been 10 years ago for me so I'm not sure.) Can't hurt to try!
