It has been a long week. The sickness has not gone away - even with the medicine Dr. Swan gave me. In fact, I feel worse. I feel like I have every symptom of stomach flu except I am not running a fever or throwing up. Not fun. I start to feel hungry, but then the sight of food makes me sick to my stomach. I force myself to eat a little, but then feel very sick afterwards and usually am running to the bathroom. My head is pounding, but I don't dare take much Tylenol because of the whole liver situation (this rash has gotten MUCH better, and I don't want to get it back full force again!). I just REALLY want this pregnancy to be over with...I know lots of people feel this way in their 3rd trimester, but I am to the point that I don't think I can take much more. Dr. Swan said there is nothing else we can do. It is too early for her to be born, so we just have to wait. (Sigh)
I know that so many are suffering with bigger things than what I am going through, and I am trying so hard to stay positive...but after almost 34 weeks of frustration in this pregnancy, I don't think I am doing very well anymore. I know that I keep asking for your prayers, and I know that my requests are so small, but I also know that God cares and no request is too small for Him.

We are praying for you and will continue to do so.
I'm sorry that your pregnancy has been so hard! Since about week 20, my sickness has improved, but I can't imagine feeling the way you have for so long. You must be incredibly frustrated. Maybe your little girl will make and early (and healthy!) entrance to help take you out of your misery. I just pray that you and the baby are healthy. I hope you feel better soon!!!!
I'm sorry you are feeling so miserable, Michelle. I was induced at 34 weeks with Madelyn (due to HELLP syndrome) and can tell you that, looking back, I would have loved to give her a few more weeks to grow inside me. At the time, though, I felt miserable too...
I will pray that you feel better and that these next few weeks fly by! When will they allow her to be born - 37 weeks?
I'm so sorry that you're miserable. Is he going to allow you to be induced at 37, or are they going to wait even longer because she is on the small side? We will continue to pray for her and you. Hang in there!!
