Doctor is not concerned yet but

This weekend a couple of friends from my church  called and asked if I have had the baby yet. I mean its sweet that they are calling to check on me but at the same time its getting my hopes up. I still have almost 3 weeks until my due date and last monday I was 3cm and 80%. (which is why they think it is any day) I am just trying to tell myself that I could be at 3 and 80% for the next 2 weeks. That way, if baby comes early it will be a nice surprise. :)

    why would your doctor be concerned?  you are full term.  you could have the baby soon or you could go over your due date.  there is just no way to know.

    I guess concerned was the wrong word. What I meant was she did not think I was going to go anytime soon based on dialation and effacement. That's all. Sorry just getting excited.

    ah gotcha.  well doctors really have no way of knowing when a baby will come until you are in the process of delivering.  my doc doesn't think i'll make it to my due date but that doesn't mean i won't.  only time will tell.  i understand being excited though.  i am so impatient.  not that i want my LO to come now because well i'm not term yet, just anxious that the whole labor and delivery process is completely unknown.  its really frustrating to not know.

    I know I am so anxious to meet my son. Every night I have a hard time falling asleep. And now that I am "term" he could come anytime and it would be ok. I keep waiting for the night when I wake up at 3 am and my waters broke or I'm having labor contractions.

    I'm certain he won't be here for a while though so I'm trying not to get too excited. I've waited this long...

    I like to be in control and this little guy's arrival time is something completely out of my control! It's so frustrating but a blessing at the same time.

    My cousin texted me on Friday night and said she was 3cm D- 80% effaced. Texted me again at midnight and her water broke! Had baby last night (saturday) at 7pm and beautiful 7lb little girl :)

    NOTHING to worry about...she was 3 weeks from her due date :)
