feeling down

[frualeydis]

Yesterday evening/night was bad. I was clumsier than ever, knocked things over and hit my elbow on one of the door posts and it hurt like hell. Then I couldn't take off my socks myself and I just cried and felt thoroughly useless. I mean, what's wrong with me, since I can't even give birth to this baby? I looked up what one of the books says about being late and it says: "Cheer up, even though you pass the expected day, 9 out of 10 babies are born within ten days after that date." Well that was yesterday so now I'm not just late, but also some kind of freak. So I cried and agonized and Rickard got tired of me, but I really feel like a useless failure and people calling, apparently getting very disappointed that I haven't managed to get the baby out yet, doesn't make it easier.
This afternoon my girls will come here after a week with their father and even though I've missed them it will make it more complicated, because I have to be reasonably happy and if labour starts their father will have to come and get them. It would have been much easier to have the baby when they were at his place. But I don't think there will be a baby this week either. Or ever.

The baby will come. I was 2 weeks late before the doctor induced. Maybe Baby has been waiting for the girls to be there. :)

Oh, honey! It is going to be okay, truly it is. There is nothing wrong with you. A large portion of it is hormones, but then you know that already. You take care of yourself and kick Rickard in the butt. Hubby's need that, and nothing like an overdue pregnancy as an excuse to hand out some long overdue ass kickings. Remember they are going to do something stupid to earn it sooner or later might as well get a few licks in now. ;P

He was very sweet actually, especially considering he had worked 11 hours both saturday and sunday. But he has little patience with me when I'm blaming myself for things I really can't do anything about. He's a very sensible man and has problems with arguments that are unreasonable or not logical.

Poor thing. It really isn't anything that you are or aren't doing, it's just the baby taking it's own sweet time about podding. Really.

Podding... ok it sounds like some alien movie... Invasion of the Body Snatchers wasn't it with the pods?

But yeah... it is obviously so content in there there is no rush to get out.

Podding's been a slang term for having a baby as far back as I can remember.... perhaps it's one of those local usage terms?

But yep, the baby will arrive when it's good and ready, regardless iof the mother's thoughts on the matter.
