I had a serious talk with myself...

...and have decided to recognize that I am ONLY 39 weeks today. Although I may have different plans, this baby isn't technically due yet. Who am I to wish him/her out any earlier than is meant to be? Not to mention all my nervous anticipation is probably delaying the process. So I promised myself to not even entertain the idea of birthing before next Thursday when I'm 40 weeks. RELAX!! Whay am I in such a rush? After that? Well, that's another story.

Anyone else feeling this way?

I am trying very hard to think like you. I am due just before the Holiday and it feels like forever. Some days I think, "What is the rush? I can handle feeling he/she inside a few more days." Other days I cry from frustration that I have not gone into labor yet. I give you credit though.

ME! I'm due today but have definitely been trying to coax her out for almost 2 weeks now. Just sucks near the end!

I had this talk with myself ( & DH ) very early on. I remember with DS i was so impatient & angry towards the end...i had too many internals giving me false hope, membrane stripping that didn't work, etc and it was hell. I have vowed to be WAY more laid back this time around. I am hoping that this approach produces a better birthing experience as well. I am due Jan. 9th. I have promised myself to stay calm and focus on other things until Jan.10th!!
