Random ramblings on Type 2 diabetes, having quit smoking, exercise, mid-life motherhood, getting older, life, and the weight loss battle.

35 weeks 3 days

Still feeling pretty yucky. That would be the medical term. Ob/Gyn Doc's latest guess is Asthmatic Bronchitis. But since he doesn't even listen to my heart, much less my lungs, I think he is just guessing. I may need to see my Primary Care doc.
I am concerned that some of this is prepartum depression. I have a long history of mild depression. I can feel it, but have been off my anti-depressants this whole pregnancy. When I had Kimo they were deemed pretty safe, so I was on them about 1/2 the time. This time around they have some mildly disturbing studies, so I haven't taken them at all.
My reading tells me that prepartum depression increases the risk of postpartum depression, so this is something I will bring up at my appointment Friday.
I am very irritable and on-edge. My husband is getting the brunt of it, but even working from home, I am taking a lot out on my co-workers and boss. I can hardly stand myself.
I vacillate about 10 times a day about taking short term disability. This indecisiveness is making me batty too! I also can't decide what to do with the early c-section suggestion.
I have absolutely no energy for housework or baby prep. I really must get going on washing baby clothes and fixing window treatments in the kids' room and keeping the mess to a minimum. Much less several other projects I would like to do.
Sorry for another incoherent, non-cohesive ramble. Someday I will write a real blog post with a theme, and intro, and a conclusion!

((HUGS)) Hang in there, sweetie.

You know, it sounds like taking the disability might be the way to go. You've only got a month left, right?

I would definately talk to the doc re: the prepartum depression. Maybe there's something natural that you can take that might help?

((hugs))

I am so sorry you feel like crap (mentally and physically) it sounds like. I would definately check into the prepartum depression. Hopefully their is something that can help.

Not too much longer until she is here!!!
