I am 39 wks and 5 days pregnant today. The last trimester has not been the greatest. I've had insomnia, low blood iron, fatigue, vericose veins, and swelling. On top of all that I've had a terrible toothache for the last month and a half. I'm sure I need a root canal but of course can't get that done until after the delivery. The pain from my tooth starts at the back of my ear and works it way down through my neck. The nerve is throbbing and it keeps me up all night long. I've tried Orajel and Tylenol but after while it just stops working. Last night was one of the worst nights of pain ever. I got no sleep and I'm still hurting. The pain and pressure in my neck is unbelievable. Pregnancy has always done a number on my teeth but this has got to be the worse ever. I just can't wait to deliver so I can get out of some of this pain. My hips are exhausted with carrying the extra weight around. I waddle around here like a duck. I hope labor starts on it's own so they won't have to induce labor, those contractions seem to hurt much more than the regular ones. I just put my youngest son on the school bus and now I am going to try and relax. Hoping a hot shower will ease some of the tension in my neck because it hurts so badly. I am going to try to catch a nap before my 3 year old wakes up. Wish me luck!
