S#!t just got real

austinjl

Hey ladies- stealing this from June's BMB.  State your ahhh s#!t just got real comment.  

For example "crap I just pissed myself...oh wait that was my water breaking".

austinjl

Mine is while creeping on other BMBs, it freaked me out to see ladies posting about having their babies at 32, 33, 34, 35 and 36 weeks.  I mean, I know some babies can come early but i figured most wait til at least close to 40 weeks...  32 weeks isn't that far away from me....

This next appt is my last one going 4 weeks. Then it is every 2 weeks.

My next appt is next Thursday! I hope I get bumped to every 2 weeks after this appt! So much more reassuring and I will be less antsy when it comes down to every 2 weeks then 1 week! Waiting every 4 weeks seemed like torture.

@pugsandkisses - that's mine too.  28 weeks along doesn't phase me but appointments starting every two weeks is like a shock of cold water.  This pregnancy flew by.  Does anyone else feel like baby # 2 is coming much faster than baby # 1 did?

This is baby #4 for me and this pregnancy flew!  I haven't even taken one picture of my belly yet lol. I was seeing my dr every two weeks for my high blood pressure but I got that down and get to see Dr in 4 weeks. I am on week #27. July will be here before I know it.

#3 here, I swear my IUI was just last week.

A friend had their baby last night. I'm so over the top excited for them but also very aware we're next

Apts bi weekly this month, hitting 3rd trimester, not being able to breathe because baby is getting bigger.

Basically knowing my babies could come literally at any time now and how many twin mom's give birth between 28-32 weeks. I won't even get past 37 weeks and that's only NINE WEEKS AWAY.

Stuck in box. 

Yes! Flying by!!

FLYING. I just filled out my L&D pre-registration paperwork.

@PugsandKisses I had the same feeling today. It was my last four week appt. I feel like every two weeks is going to make things fly by even faster!

#4 @ 25w....... Talking with the midwife about the contractions I have been having and that's it's way to early for this baby to come.Then it hit me realistically this baby can come any time from now to 15w. That's 3 months. All my children have been born a week or two early. I'm just praying she stays put as long as posible.

Looking at a birth photographer's instagram brought back all the memories of when my son was born and then, I suddenly realized that it isn't much longer until that happens again.

My moment was at my growth ultrasound 2 weeks ago (at 25 weeks). When the tech told us how much baby weighs, I had a small freak-out session in the car on the way home. No idea why knowing how much she weighs makes it seem so much more real to me, but seriously, this pregnancy has absolutely flown by.

My "ah, shit just got real" moment with my first was when I was walking through the front door with my son for the first time. It dawned on me that I could never take this back and my life would never be the same. 

mnkenned

Every time I see a picture of myself and I'm like DAMN I'm pregnant

randishane011804

2nd 3rd and 4th all of those statements above!  I go next Thursday for my final 4wk check up and then it's every 2 wks after that!  13 weeks is all that's freaking left before she gets here!

agradi

I'm still waiting for it to happen. It will probably be in the hospital after he is born. 

pandamonium20

I had the moment realizing that after my next appointment, we'd be going to two week appointments as well. 
Also, every time I look up at a reflective surface and see myself, I'm truly surprised that that extremely pregnant woman is me becaus I guess I just don't feel THAT pregnant. 

Shelby00519

Reading all these is making me realize just how real shit is getting! I won't even lie I had a full blown melt down yesterday to DH because I'm almost in my third trimester and there's still SO much to do and I'm freaking out. 

elldel

The kicks, the punches, the rolls. Every time, it blows my mind! THERE'S AN ACTUAL HUMAN BEING IN THERE. Whoa.

afrazer521

Exactly 6 weeks from today is the point that I had my son...I have literally nothing for baby girl except a stroller and clothes. Also, my ob office called me today to just casually drop the bomb that they scheduled a c section for me for July 6th. I hadn't even had the vbac vs repreat c/s with my ob yet.....shit is real man.

born2run911

A girl I work with had her water break at work over the weekend (she was 37 weeks pregnant). I never even thought my water breaking at work was a possibility. Shits getting real!

At my first job when I was like 18 my store manager was pregnant and I used to have nightmares about her water breaking at work and how the hell I would clean it up lol

Today was 99 days til my due date. For some reason that hit me hard!

sayerhart

I told my midwife today that I still think of my baby as a tiny little bud. Even though I'm obviously getting so big. I just still associate her with a tiny little bean. So she pulled out this flip board with pictures of baby in the womb that are life size. She put it up against my belly and that was a huge moment. I realized that there is a effing BABY IN THERE. Like, big enough for me to hold. 
Ahh so cool!

With my first it hit me at 31wks when I went into PTL. It hit me with my second when they were wheeling me down to L&D to induce at 38.5wks. It hit me with my third the day before I had him and my H and mom took the boys out so I could have some me time. I haven't had that moment yet this go around and probably won't until way later. 

DobbysSock

I don't know if I've had it yet this time. Last time I think the major one was the day we got home from the hospital. As bedtime came closer DH and I looked at each other and said "Oh shit. What did we get ourselves into? Why didn't we stay another night??" (my doctor gave me the choice of another night or going home and we went home)

PinkLady2015

My first "shit just got real" moment was when I coughed and peed myself...standing up....wearing a dress... And boots.

I think I am still in some kind of denial. I have a feeling shit won't get real until at least June. And if not, then it'll happen at the hospital at go time.

LadyFleck

I may be a little bit of an over-planner, but sh!t got real when I started making plans for my 6 year old to be taken care of by my mom and sister come hospital time. I didn't have another kid to worry about the last time I did this and that made it more real for some reason!

We aren't THAT far away people! And once I get down into the single digit week countdown, I start to go into planning overdrive.

foxa319

I'm being induced at 37 weeks, that's in 10 weeks! Holy crap! Going so fast compared to #1! 

jwittwer

With DD, my oh sh*t moment didn't happen until they were wheeling me down to the OR for an emergency c-section that DH was not able to attend.

With this baby, I don't think it'll hit me until I'm saying goodbye to DD to go to the hospital to deliver.

my s#!t just got real moments:

• pissing myself after a sneeze
• seeing my stomach move like predator after the baby's kicks and hubs feeling them on Sunday  
• attending a tour of our potential daycare set for this fall since I only get 6 weeks short term...BOOO
• attending baptism class with DH on Sunday

I just got information from my pediatrician of choice who also happens to be my old pediatrician. So not only do I feel like a dinosaur, but that just made it REAL for me. 

PleaseSendPicklesNow

The 4D ultrasound picture that gave us a clear shot of his face made it so real.
He has my husband's angular chin and jaw, and my grandma's huge squishy nose.

Basically, he's a beautiful combination of my two favorite people. I tear up with happiness every time I think about that.

That is so sweet. That makes me tear up too!
