Looking back over the last several weeks, at what point do you think you went from being "pleasently pregnant" to wanting few things more than to give birth? Assuming you have reached that point.
probably within the last couple days but not to the point of "get this baby out now." whenever my hips prevent me from having a good night sleep-then baby could come anytime!! i like being pg overall and while i can't wait to meet my baby i'm doing good still
I still feel pleasantly pregnant. Ready to meet my LO, but not feeling desperate to get things going.

There was a day about 2 weeks ago that I would have paid someone to take the baby out and then was feeling fine after that- Now that I am waddling around dilated to 3cm and almost 100% I would like the baby to come because I am getting really uncomfortable.

Physically, I still feel good and am still able to get around and am not too uncomfortable. I am pretty uncomfortable at night though and that has just started within the last week or two. I'm growing out of my maternity clothes, everything is finished and ready to go, so we're just kinda growing impatient. Now, its just a waiting game. I would say within the last few days (week 37) I have felt ready to be done and for the next chapter!
I started getting a little anxious around 37 weeks, just being so close and knowing it could happen at any time. Now, at 9 days past due, if I have to be pregnant more than a few more days, I will go absolutely insane. Physically I feel okay, but psychologically, it is REALLY hard.
It hurts to sit. It hurts to stand. It hurts to sleep. I had to buy a chair for the shower.
I think I realized how ready I was today in church, when I kept thinking that the Virgin Mary was lucky... she had her baby at Christmas, and it feels like I'm going to be. pregnant. forever.

For about two weeks I've felt miserable. I am nauseous all the time and can't walk. "Lightening crotch" never goes away and I have a hard time walking because she's so low. I'm ready to meet her and get my body back. I'm still very grateful for her development because I know it's only going to make her healthy and I know it will be worth it in the end but I've hit my wall.
I am still pretty comfortable, and hoping that the baby does not come early! I want him to stay a Janubaby. I think if it were a different time of year, I would not mind if he came anytime now.
The only discomfort I am having now is at night when I am trying to sleep.
We are still good. Pain in the inner hips from the extra weight, swelling in the feet, and awkwardness flipping from side to side at night, but still truckin' along. Ask me again in a week and I may have a different tune, but for now, he can hang out in there for a while if he wants.
I have been feeling that way (on and off) for a week or two now. It helps to remember how difficult it is to take care of a newborn. That usually makes me think twice about wishing baby will come sooner.
I for the most part still feel mostly pleasently pregnant at 38 weeks, but in the last week I am really starting to wish I would go into labor. It is not that I am all that uncomfortable, I am just sick of waiting. I have everything ready to go and my last day of work is Tuesday. I worry about sitting at home alone for 2 weeks, when I could be spending that time with him.

I was fine until I hit 40 weeks. Now I'm just pissed off all the time because he's not here. We are planning a home birth, but will probably have to schedule an induction sometime this week. Our comfort level is between 42-43 weeks. We just had a NST and AFI at the hospital Friday, everything looked awesome, so I'm just hoping that he'll come soon. We have another NST on Tuesday if he's not here by then, and then we'll schedule something.

Pretty much 37 weeks to the day... I went from complacent to miserable. ?It's been getting progressively worse since. ?Cramps, fatigue, irritability. ?Until then, I had a very easy pregnancy and didn't understand why women complained so much. ?
By 37 weeks I was READY! I am praying for progress at my 38 week appt on Tuesday. The pregnancy really was easy but now so uncomfortable and just ready for baby to be here. Being team green probably makes me more anxious too. Good luck to you!

OUT. NOW.
It hurts to sit. It hurts to stand. It hurts to sleep. I had to buy a chair for the shower.
