Doesn't seem real... anyone else?

grkgdss00

I'm officially in my 9th month/36weeks (behind most of you). Baby can come at anytime and be healthy - I can't believe we will meet our new son OR daughter soon (Go team Green!). I'm still comfortable and not having any sort of signs of labor... which is fine by me. Anyone else in denial that the end is near? A freaking human is coming soon? I'm reading all these labor signs posts and just sitting here like... nope. Anyone else NOT showing any sort of signs and just gestating along?

I've had a few scares that have sent me to L&D but baby is just cooking along great! I'm also the baby of the bunch and due towards the end of Dec. I switched doctors and they changed my EDD so I dont know which one to go by. My husband is ready for her to come and asks "Can you just give birth already?" at least twice a day! Its still a little surreal to me that our daughter will be here in a few weeks. By no means am I comfortable so I'm a little jealous! :P

babycameron83

Iam jealous too about comfortable! I have been soooo uncomfortable and feel like a whale lol iam so ready for her to be here but nervous and scared at the same time. I haven't had much for labour signs either and Iam almost 37 weeks. Just menstural like cramps but that's all.

preggoandglowing

Despite having my hospital bag packed, nursery ready, etc. I feel like it hasn't hit me yet. How fast 9 months can fly by!

Ok maybe comfortable was a stretch LOL but no issues, labor signs, and i'm getting around just fine. Come on Braxton Hicks start your prep-work!

This is exactly me! 36 + 4 today and team green! I've had no braxton hicks all pregnancy and just not realizing that it's going to be happening soon!

NellieHarringtonCarter

My first pregnancy was like that. Except for being able to bend down and tie my shoes or shave properly, I felt completely fine, with no BH contractions or gross discharge or headaches or anything. In fact, the week I was due, I spent 12 hours or more a day working from home on the computer on a big deadline for work like it was nothing. (DD came a week late). God I miss that pregnancy. That was a great pregnancy. 

angelicac06

Yes, except I'm out of time. My CS is Wednesday also and I am STILL in denial. My pregnancy was so wonderful thank God that I don't want it to be over. I'm actually very sad I am out of time. I keep saying can't I just go one more week?! Lol My advice to you is to enjoy every second for the next 4 weeks becaue time flys by!!!

nz113

I am officially due today! Just went to the dr and my body is doing absolutely nothing if she's not here by the end of the week I get induced next Monday. It's pretty surreal that my daughter will be in my arms in at most a week's time.

mltarrio

Yes, this is me too. I am due at the end of December, so 36 1/2 weeks, and I cannot believe this is really happening. I have been feeling like I had so much time and all of a sudden it hit me that she can come any time. I am not ready at all. And seeing all of these D15 birth announcements is really driving it home. I am having a baby. Probably this month. Wow.

Catherine1021

38 weeks- no signs of labor at all. Baby girl seems to be really comfortable in there. I'm not so comfortable, but not sure I'm ready for her to be here either! Due to GD, I'm scheduled to be induced next Monday, Dec 7th.

stephaniearthurs

I'm 36+1 and I'm ready for him to be here of course. But I also haven't had much in the way of labor. Some BH, but nothing even remotely painful. I am incredibly uncomfortable most of the time, and it's funny because it what makes me uncomfortable changes. On Saturday I couldn't sit, I was so uncomfortable. Sunday, standing was horrible!

But I think it will be really surreal bringing a tiny human home in just 4 short weeks (hopefully not longer). But we can do it!

lablover920

I am due the 26th so I am with you on being behind & jealous of some of the other ladies on here. I have had some mild menstrual like cramps and have felt (what I think are) BH a few times...nothing consistent though. Last appointment midwife said LO has dropped, though that means nothing really. She wants to do a cervical exam at my 37 week appointment. I am undecided as to whether I will do it or not, I would like to know if I am progressing along at all but at the same time I don't want to know because some women are 2 cm for weeks, that would just get my hopes up haha! So far it has been a pretty "easy" and "enjoyable" pregnancy. First trimester MS sucked but since that nothing too crazy, thankfully. 

I am so beyond ready for her to be here but I know it is a good thing she is still in there growing away. BUT LO could come the 20th and make mommy really happy.

You're just over a week behind me. I'm quite comfortable and content too but nights have become hard. I can't roll over from one side to the other without waking up. And usually once i'm awake, i get a burst of energy. Stories say this is a sign of impending labor but i'm not sure. It feels real to me but what DOESN'T feel real is this idea that there won't be a wiggling little speciman inside me anymore - Obviously there was a time when i wasn't pregnant and i remember those days clearly but for some reason, the feeling of not being pregnant, even the feeling of not being NINE MONTHS pregnant, is foggy. I used to have a stomach. That blows my mind. So this idea that the ball on my front that I've gotten so used to is about to be outside of me is weird. But that there will be a tiny human girl in the house? Nah I'm all over that. I can even picture her face.

blue024

39+1 today, its surreal that its almost over BUT I am also very much ready to get things going. Sometimes I feel like the only woman in the world that practically begs for active labor every day. I'm just ready to meet my son.

LauraSmarterSpam

My due date was Wednesday, and as delighted as I am to have DD here, I wish I had made it all the way.
That finish line can show up at any time!

ETA: due date was this coming Wednesday

Whovian84

I totally hear you, I am having a hard time wrapping my brain around the fact that I will have a little human to keep alive in a few weeks. I'm 37 weeks and it's been causing me a lot of anxiety as I feel like I'm not ready (even though I've done a ton to prepare) and I'm scared for my lifestyle and relationships to change. You're not alone. 

GoodSuri

Having my c section tomorrow for my twins boys and i am still in denial lol.... if i think about it to much the water works start. I am trying to leave all the crying until tomorrow. So happy i made it to December!!!! Enjoy the time!!!

scottastic219

I'm 36+2 and I know the feeling! Just like OP, I have had very few labor signs or symptoms. At my last appointment my doc checked me and told me I was 1 cm dilated and 50% effaced. That sort of made it sink in a little more. It's actually happening!!!

dec15mum

It's just turned December here and I'm staring at my phone like "fuck, it's time"
Guys, it's almost time.
I know I've known that December is my birth month but now it's here I don't feel ready

arz1215

38 weeks + 3 days here and not signs of labor.. I'm anxious! Right there with you ladies, it doesn't seem real. Obviously I knew a baby arrives at the end of pregnancy, but it's crazy that it's time. December is here!

Also due Wednesday ;-) and so ready! Come on babies!

Melissadmag

I'm 39 weeks and haven't had a single labor indicator. Not even dilation or annnyything...it's making me crazy. 

merbear32

I'm 37 w 5 d and we have no signs of labor. We panicked and prepared everything after being told last week we may be induced if I didn't show improvements.  Then I improved! My bp was 108/60 today! Which is great but now we are back to the waiting game.

rmarie13

I'm 37w4d and as of yesterday I'm not dilated and very "green" still, as my dr put it. I am having lots of irregular BH's though. I am very anxious!!!
We need DD to stay put for at least another 10 days so that she's covered by my Tdap vaccine.

I registered today for a Monday c section. As I was leaving the OB office the receptionist said "I won't see you again beforehand...have fun meeting your little one." I cried the whole way to the car because it hit me that I'll have my baby next week and I won't be pregnant anymore.

Jealous! So exciting you are meeting your little one in a few days...

celainev

I'm 36 weeks as well. I've wanted to hold my baby my entire life. It has been my biggest dream to be a mom. To think that it's going to happen soon just doesn't seem real. Even though my head knows it's happening soon, I feel it could be years away, still.

enigmaanjel

I am due today. I want my vbac so bad it hurts. Had membranes swept tuesday at 2 cms and 80% effaced. Today i am 4 cms, fully effaced abs bag is bulging. Swwpt membranes again. Having some contractions, but nothing good enough. I have until fridat. If she doesn't come on her own by friday at 11am she will be surgically removed. I hate he laws on vbacs. It isnt fair.

chodge29

36 weeks here also and feel the same way! No labor signs or anything yet. As of yesterday I'm officially on early maternity leave because of swelling/carpal tunnel and being home today made me realize how close we are to meeting our little man (and how much I need to do before he gets here!).

@rmarie13 do you know how long it takes for the baby to be covered? I got my vaccine late and am wondering if it will be effective.

TomekiaB

@satindawl83 I think immunity from most vaccines is about 2 weeks from vaccination to antibodies being established.

About 2 weeks is what they told me but my OB said it actually takes less time. When did you get yours?

momotheflyinglemur

I am also not due for another couple of weeks. But I have everything ready. Hospital bags are in the car, nursery is ready, clothes and diapers are washed and ready to be worn. Here I am sipping raspberry leaf tea and basically just waiting. 

uknowmesarahe

I feel like I was more ready last month but now that I only have a couple weeks to go I'm more nervous. I've done this twice before but I'm afraid to go to sleep at night. I don't want to wake up in labor.

Got mine the Monday before Thanksgiving. 38 weeks and 2 days. Next Monday will be the full two weeks. I'm due tomorrow, but baby is teasing me with cramps that come and go. Think I still have a couple of days to go.

MillyDally

I felt great until a couple days ago, basically 38 weeks on the dot. I'm now 38 +5 and, as my hubby put it, I feel like I'm sitting at the bar at about 1:45 when the lights go on and everyone is sitting around waiting for their ride home. It's the end of the party. I'm done. Seriously, I kept saying, what's so wrong with the last month? I feel amazing!
Now I shuffle around just wishing I'd have a baby already, lol. Maybe the end it's nigh. I'm not even nervous about being a mom anymore. Excited to not be pregnant. I'll be able to tie my shoes and lay on my stomach! Aaah!

theawc42

im 38+weeks and SO ready for this to happen with no signs of labor. Due the 13th. She cant come fast enough! I am comfortable except for the fact that I have this really bad chafing going on under my armpits. Its very itchy and very annoying!

lablover920

@MillyDally I CANNOT wait to lay on my stomach! This whole side sleeping thing is just old now!
