remember when you were 39 weeks.....

fionacaitlin · May 2010

pregnant & you just wanted it to be over! I was just lurking on 3rd tri & there are a few 37, 38, 39 weekers who "swear" they wont make it to 40 weeks because they are 2 cm. dilated! What I would give to ENJOY those last few weeks!!!

I was 5 cm. for 3 weeks & NOTHING happened! They broke my water the day before my due date b/c I was 7cm. & had no idea. Next time I'm going to enjoy it = )

DITTO! i used to bounce my night away on a yoga ball hoping for progress.. forget it.. next time, i'm in no hurry!

I actually never felt so uncomfortable that I wanted to be done with it all. I also knew I would miss being pregnant so I cherished it.

kes3237 · May 2010

No.

I only made it to 34 weeks. I never had that "I just want the baby to come" feeling. I had the "Holy shiit, this baby is coming now? We haven't even painted the nursery yet!" feeling.

I never made it to 39 weeks, heck I didn't make it to 36 weeks. lol but I know what you mean

hriesen4 · May 2010

I never made it to 39 weeks. I had DD at 36 weeks. I was so scared when my water broke.

mistresscox · May 2010

if my next pregnancy is as horrible as this one was i will be just as anxious. there was no "cherishing" my pregnant moments. i swear i have borderline ptsd from pregnancy.

pregnantchica · May 2010

I just reached 37 weeks, when dd decided to come out! I was a bit disappointed that I didn't reach 40 weeks...I was looking forward to seeing how mentally and physically I would change. I never got bloated, tired, swollen, or anything like that. I kind of felt cheated for a while there.

I gave birth at 39 weeks. But, I had a great pregnancy and loved every.single.moment of it! Altho I was pg during the whole summer and it was hot as a firecracker..I still miss it!

*jmacneil · May 2010

DS was born on my day of 39 weeks but i had a slow leak for 2 days then it finally broke and i still had to wait my 24hrs to be induced....oh lord that week was so stressful! but i do remember wanting it to be over and ITA - next time- no rush!!

chucknorris11 · May 2010

I did not make it to 39 weeks Embarrassed

MissAmber23 · May 2010

I so wish I had made it to 39 weeks. I was induced at 37, and I am so disappointed that I never got to experience that "waiting for labor signs" feeling.

amber_tynan · May 2010

My water broke at 39 weeks exactly. I was really uncomfortable and in the panicky nesting/OCD cleaning mode while having what I thought were braxton hicks. I had just finished cleaning our bedroom and setting up the co-sleeper and settling in for the night when my water broke and I had a major "holy sh!t" contraction.

LI444 · May 2010

I was a day away from 42 weeks so I was more than ready to be done. And it was a cooler summer than usual in Michigan, but it was still too hot to be eight months pregnant during it.

gettin' hitched · May 2010

I was in no hurry my first time. I knew it would happen when it was supposed to. Fortunately I had a wonderful pregnancy and was not miserable. On the day I was supposed to be induced, I went into labor on my own! Which was one year ago today!

Ivana_Stolichnaya · May 2010

I was in full blown, rip the pillow in half, back labor and only 1cm on my EDD. The nurse did an internal and I went to 4cm within 10 minutes...ouch!

That is the same with me. I had one of the easiest pregnancies ever, my doctor said it was because I was young. I went to 41 weeks and I loved every moment of it I never had that day where I just wanted it to be over. I miss being prego I would do it again, but not having any money kind of puts up a red flag for sticking with one baby for right now.

mavilabride · May 2010

Well I was 3cm at 36w and had DD at 38w. Could happen =D

schmoodle · May 2010

I was never 39 weeks. First pregnancy they were born at 23 weeks and died. Next pregnancy I was so psychotically paranoid of him dying from the same cause (placental abruption) that once I passed the threshold where he'd likely be ok if born, I couldn't wait for him to get out and we induced at 38 weeks (would have been 37 but his lungs weren't mature). Don't regret it for a second, I was miserable at the end, not physically but because I was so scared he'd die before we could get him out. If I'm ever pregnant again I imagine we'll do the same.

This was me. I did cry that I wanted my baby, but my water broke a few hours later.

BeanieWeanie · May 2010

DS was born when I was 39 weeks. I never really got to the point where I just wanted it to be over...another week and I probably would've.

afg · May 2010

I wanted it over because I wanted to hold my baby in my arms so bad and my ribs and back were killing me, but yeah, I definitely wish I had enjoyed those last few weeks more - and just believed that I wouldn't have been pregnant forever haha

smilelari · May 2010

Not really. I really loved being pregnant and wasn't to the point of being impatient when LO was born (39w6d), I assumed I would go late so I was surprised when I went into labor before my due date, and I refused internals so I wasn't going crazy over how dilated I was (or wasn't)

chels0120 · May 2010

HAHAH YES! Oh my gosh! I was miserable and "wanted that kid OUT" hahahahahaha

burning_television · May 2010

I was fortunate enough to have a pretty smooth pregnancy, and I loved ever minute of it.

Of course I was hella uncomfortable towards the end, but everyone goes through that.

39 weeks? Didn't have time to experience 39 weeks. I was in the hospital, screaming in pain at 39w2d, DS was born later that night.

bim38106 · May 2010

ya... I didn't enjoy making it to 41 weeks either time...

I told myself after DD1 that I would stress less and enjoy it more. But when you're (me at least) that far along and as uncomfortable as I was, I was ready to be DONE.

MrsPreK · May 2010

I was no longer pregnant at 39 weeks

MattysGirl81 · May 2010

No kidding! Although I didn't complain much and wasn't uncomfortable despite being a week late. I was 3cm for the last 1-2 weeks...it means nothing.

Your world changes in an instant as soon as that baby is born...enjoy those last few days/weeks!

reannegummer · May 2010

I never made it to 39 weeks either. DD came at 38w3d. And by that time, I was ready. However, I didn't have a bag packed or anything, but emotionally I was ready.

pink.dutch.tulips · May 2010

i was 1 cm dialated and 50% effaced for THREE weeks starting at 38 weeks ... i knew she wasn't coming anytime soon and i wasn't worried. the longer she decided to stay in there, the longer i could work.

JennifernKevin4ever · May 2010

At 39 weeks I was ready for it to be over, but I had a feeling I would be over do. I was 2 weeks past due. I was dilated 2 cm by then.
