Crossing my Fingers....

I'm hoping I'll make it to July at this point- I keep getting weird pains off and on (not back pain, more like period pain). I haven't lost my plug or anything. Last night, I was in so much pain I woke up at 4 AM and couldn't get back to sleep.

I'm kind of nervous that this baby's going to be way too big for me to deliver vaginally. I'm not a small woman, but he's not a small boy either. I'll do a C-section if I have to, but I'd much rather not. 

Anyone else experiencing this? I have a drs. appointment tomorrow, so I'll ask him then as well.

Just curious, but why are you hoping you make it to July?, at 39 + weeks, your baby is plenty ready to be born without complications.  If he has been projected to be big, than wouldn't you want him to come now, rather than get any bigger?  Not trying to pry, just curious.

Mostly because I'm hoping he'll be born after my niece's birthday- so there's not a 5 and an 8 year old in the house where DH and I are staying. I REALLY don't want to go into labor right now. My nieces and my DH's ex-BIL (long story) have been staying with us for the last week. My SIL is coming tomorrow and staying until the day after.

I don't want my own baby to get any bigger, but I also don't want a buttload of people in L & D with me. I don't think I can handle my nieces, my SIL, her whackjob boyfriend, and my BIL all at the hospital, and if I go into labor while my SIL is here that's exactly what will happen.
