Feelings?

As our due dates are fast approaching how are you all feeling?? Excited, nervous, scared?

Is "beached whale" an option?

A month ago, I was feeling anxious about the labor part of everything, but now I'm feeling really ready and excited to do it and finally meet this little being that I've been getting to know over the months.

ADC1979

Multiple things at once.  Excited, scared, exhausted, beached whale, lightning crotch OMG baby wut r u doing pls stahp, hungry, confident, then totally not confident, sleepy.

I think that about covers it.

Artistmom30

Very ready. 

Kohler2009

Excited, impatient, an emotional roller coaster

kmawb

Excited to both meet this little dude and to get him the hell out of my ute (yes, I have reached the I-am-done-being-pregnant-stage), nervous about trying for a VBAC, and scared that we have nothing ready yet!  You can also add beached-whale to my list too.

Nichole8787

Anxious and excited! I'm really ready to hold him.....

mcvgal

I wish I knew how to add GIFs because this would be the perfect time for Jessie Spano from saved by the bell to say "I'm so.. I'm so .. scared"

cakebatter27

Very excited and still nervous. I'm very OCD so doing something I've never done before without much control over really bothers me!

I think you about covered exactly how I'm feeling !!

Excited! I still don't think the labor part has hit me yet.. I'm just expecting to go to the hospital and walk out with a cute little baby with my body still intact - and we all know that's not gonna happen haha.

Alternating between feeling like I need more time to get everything done before he arrives (I just moved cross country 10 days ago and am due July 7th) and like I need him out of me right now because being pregnant is so uncomfortable. And of course hopeful that he'll be happy and healthy and a little scared that he won't be.  

reelcelticdancer

Like Jabba the Hut:sweaty, hungry, cranky lol.

Carly198330

So emotional and all over the place. So ready to meet my little girl and my other two children can't wait to have a baby sister. But sad that this is my last pregnancy and soon will be all over.
Upset about having to have another c section (due to spinal surgery) but so ready to see willow- May and be a mummy all over again.
Can't believe we are all near the end. X

I could not imagine moving let alone cross country! Hope everything is going smoothly

Super excited for the new baby, super nervous at having two. I vascillate between excitement and anxiety.

how far apart will your two be?

TurtleMonsters

Calm, soaking in the quiet before the craziness:) Beached whale is accurate, though I remember feeling bigger last time- that maybe because I was a "month bigger" the last time I remember being pregnant (at 41+ weeks).

TugboatSheila

I feel like I'm going to be a huge failure at a variety of important things.

keshupe29

Excited. But the labor / delivery part terrifies me!

Caitlin1216

My hubby told me "pregnant" wasn't an adjective when asked how I was feeling. Lol but definitely feeling very anxious and nervous!

INmommy871278

Excited to meet her, but nervous that she will be early with all the cramping, pressure, and BP being up. I'm more worried about someone getting here in time for DS. I went fast with DS, so this being my second makes me nervous that I'll go even faster.

lindslalala

I feel tired, grouchy and sweaty. I also feel nervous for DS, I think a new baby is going to be really hard on him.

ghostof5letters

I want my life back, but I know it'll never be the same. Similar...eventually...but different. 

I could cry

mustangholly

It really is a big ball of emotions. I range from scared to excited. From happy to sad and a wide range in the middle. I can't wait to meet our baby. But I am scared for our lives to change. I have gotten really uncomfortable and ready to deliver.

Soon2BMrsN

Terrified of having three kids

shamyfowler

I'm excited.  Feeling unprepared though!  I need to get the nursery done and all the other crap ordered!  A littler nervous for DD.  This will completely rock her boat of course, but I think she'll be a great big sister.  Um, yes definitely the beached whale!  Everything I put on is just ew.

shortstack930

Super excited for this baby to arrive, anxious that I still have to wait another 7 weeks, yet part of me is still like wait...I'm having a baby??

MrsGeekyPants

I couldnt be more ready. Super stressed out depressed because im loosing my job due to a drunk hitting me while pregnant and I dont qualify for fmla or maternity leave So life is amazing ..now i just want my baby

TricksyPixie

Terrified and excited.

jcartz

I want to meet he baby so badly, but honestly? I am terrified of what this will do to DD who has had us to herself for 4.5 years, what it will do to our family dynamic and our marriage.

baxterdreamer

Mostly I'm just tired. I'm so so very ready to meet my son. Also, I'm more than ready to see my DH become the wonderful dad I know he will be :x

Hoshikitsune

Other than feeling tired, fat, and constantly in pain...I feel nothing.  The birth is still too far away for me to be truly excited.  I do wonder if I even have the mothering gene given that I am a second generation adoptee.

Totally with you on the nervousness of LO being early. Cramping, pressure, and increased contractions = no bueno for my nerves! It doesn't help that I'm on bedrest so have little to do to help take all of that off of my mind.

acciovino

Mentally not ready. Still too much to do. Physically, I ready to crawl over broken glass. Everything hurts and I'm not sleeping so why not?

TRyan86

Feeling excited to meet little one and nervous, scared of delivery and ready to be totally overwhelmed with life in general after baby is here.

ahjahbaba

I fluctuate between "OMG get out now I want to meet you!" And "what in the world did I get myself into?! I can't do this!"

mamakiss

Surprisingly less nervous about labor the closer it gets.

Otherwise, nervous (excessive contractions from irritable uterus) and uncomfortable (gall stones) and nervous I'm never going to have anything "ready".

TexasGirl81

A bit sad. I don't know if H and I will choose to have more kiddos. This all happened so quickly. I would have never imagined I would be having "Irish twins". I keep thinking, "is this my last pregnancy?".

Of course I'm so ready to have our little boy. But the end is nearing and these are my last weeks with this preg belly (all of us, of course). Will I do this again? Only God knows. It's been fun and helpful having you ladies. I have one "real friend" left in my life and she's out if state. I just want to say thanks for all of the support!

Jerrica1432

Very happy for this thread. Helped me see that others are just as anxious & nervous as I have been feeling. So nice to see its obviously a normal feeling to feel unprepared or unsure. I never felt this way with my first. I was so excited & ready for him to just be here. I feel so much better seeing that others are all having the same feelings
