It's Good for the Baby! by Kimberly MacArthur I am in my 38th week of pregnancy, and I am very tired and fed up with being pregnant. My family and friends are tired and fed up with me being pregnant. I do believe my doctor is fed up with me being pregnant. It seems the only person who seems to be happy with me being pregnant is this baby, and that does not seem fair that his is the only vote that counts. For 38 weeks, I have not lifted, run, hopped, climbed, had sex, or even sneezed without being told it is bad for the baby. For 38 weeks I have not been able to have a single emotion besides 'happiness', without being told it is bad for the baby. My hips look like a freeway, zig zagged with on and off ramps, my breasts are reaching for my belly button, my nipples are the size of my fists, this stomach is slowly being stretched so that the expressway on my hips will soon join my belly, but I am told that is good for the baby. I have waddled around like a duck for 38 weeks, sat down like a chicken on a egg, and sweated like a pig no matter what the temperature, all of which are very considerate of the baby. I am really very tired and fed up with being pregnant. Just to add some zip to this exciting chapter of my life, I have been having false labor pains on and off for nearly a week now. This new development not only freaks me out, but has all persons around me on edge, wondering when this is going to become REAL labor. Everyone, that is, but the baby. He is not bothered a bit, for I am told he will come out when he is ready. Because, you see, this is all good for the baby.
I feel like a five year old, wondering when it will be my turn, when it will be good for ME, the mommy? Labor would be good for the mommy. Shedding this extra 50 pounds would be good for the mommy. Being able to roll over in bed without a 15 minute trip to the bathroom at night, every hour on the hour, would be good for the mommy. And not to forget the time it takes to hoist myself out of bed, and then return to search for a comfortable position again, would be good for the mommy. Holding my newborn infant son would be good for the mommy. Memorizing my new sons every feature, touching his soft baby skin, smelling his special smell, would be so good for the mommy. Knowing I did everything I could to bring this perfect little boy into our world will be good for the mommy. Seeing my husband's face when he holds his youngest son in his arms for the first time will be so good for the mommy. Watching my other children fall in love with their brother will be great for the mommy. I see that these 38 weeks have been good to and for the mommy. And God willing, the rest of my life, watching this new child and my other children grow and someday fly from me, will be so blessed for this mommy. This mommy can wait a while longer, but don't tell the baby.
