Thank you I needed that! I'm 38 weeks as of Sunday and have been impatiently waiting as I am now on my maternity leave. I have been uncomfortable and exhausted. I spent 20 minutes grocery shopping came home and I'm tapped out and need a nap. I'm not used to this I didn't have this with my others so it's been a challenge focusing on the fact that this little one will be here soon.

I'm almost in the exact same spot. 38 weeks today, just started maternity leave yesterday. I totally know I'm not to my due date yet, so can't be too impatient but it is getting hard. I have had everything ready for a long time because that's just how I am, and I'm already sick of the constant checks to see if he is here yet from family and friends.

Nice way to think of it. For STMs, I think it's more a time to savor the one on one time with your older kid(s). At least that's how I'm looking at it.

Ugh. I'm 38 weeks, too, and the daily "how are you feeling?" and "is she here yet?" texts are starting to drive me nuts. As if I wouldn't tell anyone once she is born. I try to reiterate that I'm not due for 2 more weeks, but everyone seems pretty excited about the prospect of me going into labor early, as if I'm prepared or something!

Seriously. I want to scream, "I would let you know if I went into labor!" I'm trying to stay as distracted as possible and the constant question reminders from others does NOT help that at all!

My sister gave me good advice for the last weeks - you are constantly holding, rocking, feeding, and soothing your baby; their every need is taken care of. You are uncomfortable, but at least baby is looked after as you get ready to meet them!
Thank you, I needed to read that. I feel like I'm stuck in no mans land.. But it's nice she gave it a name. 7 days.... Till the due date, it feels like a countdown of my freedom and the start of a whole new life... Very emotional. I too have daily text messages and calls from friends and family. But I take them as good omens of how much baby and I are loved. Even though I do get tired of saying "felling great, no baby yet". - good luck mamas!
I'm 39 weeks and 2 days. We've had some things come up in our family so I'm kinda hoping little guy stays in past Friday (due date) so that things can settle down a bit. I'm definitely feeling that no man's land feeling though. I've also stopped bending down to pick up things... I'm just grateful my husband humors me and picks up the things I drop.
Re: For those of this still waiting.
