Am I the only one hoping I don't go into labor before 40 weeks? The thought of our little guy coming early scares me since I don't quite have everything ready and mentally I'm just not 100% prepared for labor. It is sort of something I have been blocking out.
I have had "after thanksgiving" in my head all along, so I cannot imagine going at 38 week or anything. Anyone else?

Re: late 3rd tri ladies
I feel the same way, but for different reasons.
#1 I'd really like to have a November baby (only 6 more hours to go) so my daughter Hannah has her own birthday month.
#2 I know what I'm in for and I'm not quite ready to be so sleep deprived:)
Oh I'm SO with you! I do NOT want him coming early....not ready, plus the earlier they are hte more chance there will be a complication.. I want him to be completely cooked before he comes out!
It is frustrating to me when people to act like everybody wants to go early...people tell me all the time that they are crossing their fingers I'll be a few weeks early. His safety is way more important than my 3rd tri discomfort...and believe me, i'm already pretty d*mn uncomfortable!!
I definitely want my baby to be full term, but I go back and forth about whether I want her to come early (before EDD) or not. We are definitely not ready right now. But my mom went late with both my brother and I and made it seem like it was soo unbearable. Plus, I want to start labor on my own and not be induced. So if I go past my due date I am worried a bit about induction.
But, bottom line is I want both LO and me to be healthy when she comes.
People keep telling me that I'm going to go early, and the dr. says baby is measuring big (I have a growth u/s tomorrow to check on that), but in my mind I want to make it through Thanksgiving too.
Mainly because a) we're obviously not 100% ready yet - we're just having our showers this weekend - but b) I want to stay at work through the day before Thanksgiving just because I'm not quite ready to say goodbye! I'm supposed to work a week after Thanksgiving, but it wouldn't bother me if I went sometime over the holiday break and didn't come back for those 5 last days. But thinking about going even sooner than Thanksgiving stresses me out!
