Anyone else not anxious to have LO?

in 3rd Trimester

It seems like lots of women on here are so anxious to have the baby - totally understandable because 3rd tri is uncomfortable and not the most fun I've ever had.

However, I'm really sad at the idea of not being pregnant anymore.  I didn't love pregnancy until the 3rd tri, but now I love it!  I love my big belly and I can't get enough of kicks.  The fact that it is ending soon makes me sad, however I know I will be overjoyed to have my little guy in my arms. 

Maybe I'll be singing a different tune in 3 weeks, but I know I will still miss this greatly, probably within 24 hours of his birth.

    I think it's great you're not anxious for your son to come out... I know I can't wait!

    I'm starting to have more back pain, so in a couple of weeks I know I'll be ready, but I desparately want him to come out after my birthday instead of before.

    I'm having fun to- I have an anterior plcenta, so it took forever to really feel movement, it's still magical to me.

    I'm not ready for her to come just yet. I can't say that I love being pregnant, but I do love having her all to myself. This is our first and it's like standing on the edge of a cliff knowing that you have to jump, but you're in the moments before. Don't get me wrong I'm excited for her to be here, but I just don't quite feel ready. I can't say that I'll be say if I go all the way to my due date (hopefully not long after :) )

    I know what you mean.  I know I am going to miss feeling this LO move around inside me, and watching my belly move around.  Don't get me wrong - I'm excited to meet my LO...but at the same time, I know I'm going to miss having him/her in my ute!

    I am not anxious.  I love being pregnant and love the schedule we are on with our 19 month old, she can take her time getting her!

    Me! I'd like to carry to 40w if I can. I'm happy to enjoy my last few weeks with just my husband.

    I am kind of in the middle.  I am just coming to the realization that his arrival could be really soon, but it still feels far off.  I don't love pregnancy, and I don't hate it either.

    I am working until October 2 and this week is going to be really busy/exhausting.  I think that once I get through this coming week, it will start to seem more real, and once I get through the following week at work (my last) I will be ready for him to arrive!

    I kinda feel the same way.  As much as I am soo anxious to finally be able to hold her, it makes me sad to think I won't feel her so close to me every minute of everyday.  It is amazing to me how attached I am to such a little person that I never even met or seen (except for those little blobs on the u/s).

    I was enjoying it until this past week.....now I just want my baby. I want to know the sex, give it a name, and hold it in my arms. Everytime it moves it hurts so I am definately ready for it to be outside!

    Lucky, I just posted to you on SAL, but I wanted to still chime in - I feel exactly the same way. SO TORN emotionally these past few days/weeks ... so excited to meet LO, but really mourning the fact that my pregnancy is coming to an end. I have LOVED it, and I know I'll miss it so much!

    And life is just so easy right now (despite the discomfort) - it's about to do a total 180 ... I liked what the one poster said about being about to jump off a cliff - that's just how it feels! It's going to be SUCH a change, and while I welcome the adventure, I am in no rush to get it here any faster!!

    Of course I am anxious to meet him, but this is my second child and I really missed being pregnant after I had my first one. Although, I have had an easy pregnancy, and I do love being pregnant. I am certainly uncomfortable and exhausted.

    I didn't become anxious until the past few days.  Discomfort has gotten significantly worse, and the "it could be today or in three weeks" suspense is wearing on me.  I'm trying to enjoy the time I have left, but mentally it's just a strange place to be.
