Are you the most impatient for your lo to arrive?

summer_aka_chewchew · June 2010

Ok, so I know that basically all of us are super excited and want our lo's to come.. I thought that I was number one on that list for my friends and family. That is until my hubby texts me today and has been EVERYDAY to get this baby out. He even said to me today through a text to "pleasure" myself to get our lo out. I told him that it doesnt work that way and just laughed at him. Is anyone else's family/friends more impatient then you?

Yep. I think I'm the only one who doesn't mind still being pregnant at this point and I still have a ways to go. Everyone else keeps bugging me like I can will the baby out or something haha. It's the first grandchild/niece/nephew on my side of the family though so everyone is super excited.

No, but my OB is. I'm being induced tomorrow. Sad

I'd much rather go on my own but they don't let anyone go past 42 weeks, even though baby and I are both doing great.

My family is definitely getting impatient. I didn't answer a call from my mom last week (not purposely--I just missed the call) and I didn't check my email that day . . . so in the evening I get an "OMG is Lola here?!!" phone call from her. Umm, no, she is not here. I'm only 35 weeks and my cervix is currently Fort Knox. But we'll let ya know.

I am definitely not. At our shower/bbq this weekend, my dad took everyone's bets on when LO would arrive. His was the earliest at July 2. Mine was the latest at July 21. Due date is July 16.

It's not that I'm not excited, everyone seems to be getting ahead of themselves. I'd like the little pea to cook for a while longer!

I think everyone is more impatient than I am. I can't even stand to answer my phone lately as no one calls/text me unless it's about the baby & my due date isn't even until sunday! I'm just riding it out and enjoying the last days of being pregnant with him....he will be here soon enough and on his own time

I was really impatient about a week ago until I read your post about "chilling out, savoring the moment of pregnancy and keeping LO to yourself" I never thought about how many guests are going to flood in and everyone who will want to hold her! I think I might just want to keep her in a little longer!! LOL! I'm selfish!

I've stopped answering the phone.............seriously Angry

No, my husband is definitely the most impatient. He wants to try all of the old wives tales. I keep having to tell him "there is no way I am drinking castor oil". He keeps wanting to go for walks and go shopping--when I ask shopping for what, he just says whatever as long you are walking around somewhere. And if I say ouch for any reason, he quickly asks "are you in labor?"

Two days ago, he put his face next to my crotch and yelled "Paige! Paige, the exit is DOWN HERE! COME OUT!"

haha yah. Nobody thinks I'll make it to July. I tell them he'll go two weeks past just to spite them. In the meantime, I'm going to cherish my final true alone time with DD and be in no hurry. Just wish these false labor symptoms would go away.

I'm sorry -- I hope everything goes really well for you tomorrow (or you go into labor on your own like right now!)

God bless you! I cannot imagine being 2 weeks overdue and sounding as calm and pleasant as you do. I still have weeks to go and I can feel myself gettting crankier by the day!

This sounds like my DH! I was experiencing early labor last night and this morning, and he stayed home from work "just in case". He jumps at every noise I make. Definitely on high alert!
