I have no advice but thinking about you. The end of pregnancy is so uncomfortable!

Aww Jo.... complain away.  That last bit is the worst in terms of  how ya feel and if the little guy is putting pressure in all the wrong places that just makes it worse.

I say... 36 weeks is due time for a "C'mon baby and body...lets cooperate!"

Complain away! I remember the pain starting to get pretty bad around 36-37 weeks. I feel for you! I hope the last few weeks go fast! 

I'm sorry you aren't feeling well johana. It was at about 35 weeks I started to get nutty with Sarah. I just felt like I wasn't going to be able to handle it much longer. I could not even walk up stairs unassisted and um, my husband works long hours so the kids and I were basically stuck downstairs hanging out in the living room and it was hard.

By 36 weeks I felt like I was hanging on by a string and thankfully at 37 weeks she made her appearance.

I had horrible hip and back pain.  She was facing the wrong direction. 

Now, it feels like it was so far away (well it was a year ago). 

Just get as much rest as possible and be assured you're in the homestretch.  You can do it! 

Oh Joanna! I am so sorry! I remember how uncomfortable I was at the end without all that added in. About that back pain, you say high up in the middle of your back? Is it possible you strained that ligament that holds your uterus to your spine? I did this running across an airport at 8 months pregnant. Was in pain for days.

When you go for your u/s I would definitely ask. Or if that is too far off, seriously consider calling your practitioner.

I hope you feel better soon lady! In the home stretch now! (An American term related to baseball)

You guys heard enough of my bitching, girl you could've started complaining a long time ago and it would've been fine with me. <3

I hope you feel better. I never got bh contractions so I really don't know what to tell you it could be. 

Lisa... I love you! Johana - please listen to Lisa and her bit that says 'call your practitioners'!!!!!!! Please please pretty pretty please??!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Thanks so much guys.  Sorry about the epic whine.  I just feel kinda miserable.  

It's sort of where my back starts to arch.  Would the ligament be there?  Can they see any damage with an ultrasound?  I can't believe you ran in an airport at 8 months!  Crazy woman!  :P 

I've got a doctors appointment at 4 today so hopefully she can shed some light on what's going on.  It's just so tiring not being able to sleep and running around after especially the little one all day.  It's making me all emotional and teary.  I'm so not a fan of teary!  

Yes, mum...  :P  

You know how I was freaking out about C-Sections a little while ago?  I'm going to really regret reading that thread if junior is backwards...  ;)  

Also, if I say Emmett...  What are your first associations?  Does the name make you think... bad 80's movie by any chance?   

I saw this after I asked how far along you are in Jody's thread. Not sure where I got April from.
I'm sorry you're hurting! I hope the doc has some answers for you.
Which hospital did you decide to go with?

And I really like Emmett! And the only assocation I could think of was twilight. But only because you said association and I had to think on it.
