Just curious- full-termers....

sarahryandrewlo · May 2009

Are you ready to go, once you hit 'full term'? Are you like- get this baby out, or more just watching and waiting? Everyone is 37 weeks full term, right?

Just curious.... I only have 3.5 weeks before I hit full term, but I'm not ready (the house isn't and I don't really think I am that mentally prepared)

Maybe lots will change between now and 37 weeks?

EastCoastBride · May 2009

The last 2 or 3 weeks- I was DONE. Done done done. I was large, uncomfortable, and I was just ready for the little guy to join us.

tuxcat · May 2009

am I ready to go? Uhhh. no. still not sure about this labor thing, and I still have stuff I need to do.

plus, one of the ob nurses in my hospital told me that the older the baby, the more mature they are, the easier they are soothed and fed...

so i guess I'm saying I'm not rushing things... the baby can come when he or she is good and ready...

Sugar Honeybiscuits · May 2009

I'm in no rush today...but that feeling may change tomorrow. *grins* Besides getting up 4 times during the night, I feel great. Still fast and spry. I can still wear my wedding ring and I have kankles only once in a while.

HeatherMary · May 2009

Right now.. I am ok waiting a little longer for my DS to come. However, I just found out that I probably will be induced before my EDD - and that made me nervous. I still feel like I have too much to do to be prepared for this baby. I think it is different for everyone.

ZaraLou · May 2009

Well I def. feel READY to go and would be elated if she decided to arrive right this second.. but most likely i will have to endure at LEAST another 2 weeks of this... i'm just not a lucky person.

lovindan · May 2009

I was in absolutely no rush until this week. Weeks 37 and 38 I still felt like I had a lot to do.

Since yesterday however I have been done. I'm ready for this baby to get out here but the doctor says I'm not even close.

jane.says · May 2009

I didn't feel ready at 37 weeks. I'm really not that uncomfortable and was content to have him/her come whenever. As the days go by, I'm becoming more and more ready. Not necessarily out of discomfort but anxiousness. Everything is in place and we're ready and I really, REALLY want to know if it's a boy or girl!

Clevelander · May 2009

Mentally I need until June 1, then I will get antsy! I'll be 38 weeks then!

mommaj530 · May 2009

I'm going to be induced before my EDD, but like a day or two before because of LO's size. Dr's are afraid she's huge. But, I would say every day is different. Today= not so great. Yesterday= awesome day. Felt like I could go another few weeks.

kklickka · May 2009

Yeah...I'm DONE. And doing everything I possibly can to get this baby out ASAP! Evening primrose oil, red raspberry leaf tea, bouncing on a yoga ball, walking (until a couple of days ago when I sprained my ankle), etc.

We've been done with all the stuff around the house for awhile now, so we're just waiting...and waiting....

rbidi · May 2009

I'm not ready. I'm ready to see baby, but as far as the house goes...nope. That's my weekend project..

cathy_and_matt · May 2009

I'm in no rush right now, although I'm pretty uncomfortable. I want him to come when he's ready. And I'd prefer to have a little time off from work before he gets here, although since I had high BP again today, I might have to be induced before that happens.

Like I said in another post, I'm sure I'd be singing a different tune if I last for three more weeks....

violetvilla83 · May 2009

I think everyone is different. I have all my bags packed for the hospital and ready to go. We're checking in in a few hours, but before today I just had everything scattered in different spots throughout the house. We still have to stop at the store to grab a couple things before we get to the hospital.

Adam'sGirl · May 2009

I will be 36 weeks tomorrow, so I'll be full term in a week. I am in no way ready for him to be here in 8 days. I am also nowhere near that "done" feeling. I still feel great, have some energy, don't fee huge, and still just feel like he needs to stay in there another month.

Mrs_Stevens · May 2009

I'm in no rush, but it's also exciting when things start to happen.These last couple of days I have noticeably dropped, enough to where people are commenting on it. Hearing the "it won't be long now" makes me nervous and excited at the same time.

ccmmkk · May 2009

i'm so ready. come out baby!!

hisbabybear · May 2009

i am beyond ready.

AngelLuver_02 · May 2009

I was ready at 36 weeks. LOL

med2663 · May 2009

I'm not working anymore due to PIH, so that might have something to do with me feeling better than I have most of my pregnancy. I don't have to get up at night and pee. I can still get up from the floor/couch/whatever without help. It's not too hot out yet. My clothes still fit. If it were up to me, the baby could stay in as long as he wants.

/yes, I know I'm lucky. Trust me, I was miserable earlier on.

kathy34 · May 2009

I am starting to get really uncomfortable. I know by this weekend when I hit 38 weeks I'll be READY...!!!

whatyoudotome · May 2009

The house is ready, bags are packed and room is stocked... but I'm in no rush. Don't get me wrong I can't wait to meet this person (!!) but I promised myself I'd really savor the last days with just DH, and how wonderful it is to carry this child (and fewel all the kicks and wiggles). It's uncomfortable sometimes and inconvenient other times, but it is exactly as it should be.

pinkbride07 · May 2009

I wasn't ready at 37 week. I wanted to meet baby but the house wasn't ready. I'm definitely ready now and have been off work for 2 weeks so things are all ready. We are just waiting on our little man to make an appearance.

alatham · May 2009

I just felt like I was finally allowed to feel "done" with the whole pregnancy thing. I was so excited to get pregnant, but its just getting difficult to do EVERYTHING that I just want her out so I can start to feel and look like myself again.

Now I'm just miserable because all these ladies are having their babies and I'm just still hangin out! I'm just jealous, that's all.

logansmommy71 · May 2009

your house and you mind will never be ready enough until your LO gets here. Then youre like wtf was i worried about?

Mike&Care · May 2009

I would love for her to come soon, but then I think about the "what ifs". If my water broke RIGHT NOW, I'd freak out and not feel ready. I think after this weekend I will feel 100% ready. We are planning on detailing the house and cars and finish our hospital bags. I'm done with being uncomfortable though. Sooo done with that.

Chrisy-Wyobride · May 2009

I haven't been ready until recently--though I am still not mentally, emotionally or physically ready....my BODY is ready--I am soo miserable & done w/ being pregnant.

mollymurphy · May 2009

I actually just hit that point today. Up until this afternoon, though, I have actually felt better in the last 3 weeks than before (I hit a rough patch from around 34-36, but once the baby started to drop and I recovered from what I'm guessing was a strained muscle in my back, I felt much better, despite hitting full term.)?

Now, though, I'm starting to stress out b/c it just doesn't feel like anything's happening and I'm getting incredibly sick of going to work every morning and having every. Single. Person. I see say, "Oh, heeeey! We didn't think we'd see YOU this morning!" "Heyyyy, so, when's the baby coming?" Yeah. It's annoying. So sick of it. I am officially ready, as of today, to get this show on the road. ?

BelleBaby · May 2009

Absolutely, 100%, totally done and ready for these LOs to come NOW! I'm so happy I made it to 37w+ with twins, but man do I want to have these babies.

Our house is ready, all the clothes are ready, EVERYONE is ready!!!!!

FutureHernandez · May 2009

I'm so done.

Everything in the house is ready and I'm just sitting around miserable. I feel like garbage and 1st tri symptoms are hitting me again.

DaisyAdair · May 2009

I'm having this baby Thursday and I don't even have a name. Granted, I'm ready to not be pregnant anymore since I need an MRI on my hip and back and I just want that issue fixed.

But, no, I'm nowhere near "ready"!

sigh. this.

spark&echo · May 2009

I'm actually okay if he wants to stay put a little while longer. ?I have been off work since I was 36 weeks so I have been soaking up the alone time and time with my husband. ?Also, my mom won't be here until my due date, so that's another reason why I feel okay with still being pregnant. ?I also have some work to do on my thesis. ?And I'm feeling great! ?I am shocked at how good I feel, especially because I was miserable around 32-36 weeks.

At this point I'm even okay with being overdue...?
