Is anyone else okay with still being pregnant?

AndromedaEclipse · June 2012

My due date is in less than a week. I'm actually still pretty content where I am. Sure my feet hurt and I don't sleep like I used to. But I sleep more than I will, and I'm not in misery. If this baby comes today, frankly, I'll be a little freaked out. I'm more than happy to wait until next week. Is anyone else in the same boat?

I am and I was with DD too, she was 8 days late. The only reason I want the baby to come soon is my doc does not want me to go over 41 weeks so now she is talking the evil induction word and I don?t want that again.

At my 38 week appt with DD1, we scheduled a c section for 39 weeks so I never had the anticipation of going into labor. I'm going for a VBAC this time, and I know going into labor on my own is my best chance got success, so I don't really mind still being pregnant at this point. Last night was the worst night of sleep I've had this pregnancy, so that's no fun.

I'm so ready to have this LO! Partly b/c I'm team green and want to avoid an induction. I have family in town this weekend (just happened to be here before they know about LO) and I'd really like them to be able to meet LO before they leave and go 1,000 miles away. Needs to be born before Saturday for that to happen and it's not looking good!

I am not as far along as you guys, but I am still feeling okay!

Right now I am in the mind-set that he will not be here before his due date, so I'm just trying to enjoy our time as a couple (and do as much as I can around the house and for myself) before he's here.

I have some more stuff I'd like to do to get ready, but after Monday it's all fair game. Plus my doctor is out of town this weekend. I was in L&D last weekend, and the nurse thought I was going to have the baby on Sunday but luckily contractions finally slowed down. I was definitely not ready then!

I am okay, not uncomfortable. We'll just wait for LO.

This time? No, not so much. Though I have no physical complaints and it's been a good pregnancy, I'm emotionally and mentally exhausted and ready to be done.

BUT! I was totally that way with #1 and 2. Especially with DS I knew as a FTM I was likely to go over and planned accordingly (I've never put a ton of faith into EDDs). It was nice to still feel content at that point. I'm not sure what's different this time, but I miss that feeling.

I'm 1 day away from my due date, and I'm ready, but at the same time I'm not ready. I'm ready to feel normal again, well as normal as I can feel after pushing a watermelon out.. LOL... but at the same time, I'm terrified that I'm about to officially become a parent. For some crazy reason my throat is killing me, I'm thinking its allergies, but at this point, I'm willing to even blame hormones for things like this. Seems like everyone else blames everything else on them... might as well blame the sore throat on them too ^_^

My pelvis bone is killing me. If i sit too long, if I stand too long, if I walk to long, if I lay down too long... nothing is comfortable if I go from one position to another... so I'm ready for that to go away...

And ofcourse I'm ready to see my daughters eyes. To hold her, and take care of her,and just to be with her. I'm ready to start this exciting, crazy, new experience in my life...

This is where I am. DH and I just snuggled on the couch last night and watched two movies. Today, I'm working around the house (baking, cleaning, laundry). My OB is out of town this weekend, and I have no faith in his replacement, so I'm just praying to make it to Monday.

Yeah, I feel the same. Besides this annoying back pain I have that makes me limp, I'm okay with waiting for LO to arrive when she wants. My Dr. knows I don't want to be induced or she would have me scheduled in already. As of my last appt looks like she is going to be arriving late. I'll see how I feel next week though when I hit 40 wks.

During the day I'm still pretty ok about still being pregnant - I am still totally enamoured with my bump, but by night all the stress of the day catches up with me and I go into false labor which is pretty distracting. Every night it gets a little stronger and I think, is it really starting this time? Le sigh...

victoriawaimon · June 2012

I was due yesterday, but I'm still pretty comfortable with being pregnant. Yes, I'm heavy, uncomfortable, and have been experiencing some major pains, but I realize that my health and LO's health are both very good. Also, my doc already scheduled an induction for early next week, so at least I'm not stressing over the uncertainty of when I will deliver. I am just focusing on the light at the end of the tunnel!

Dude, I wish I was as cool as you cucumbers, but I. AM. DONE. I know it is normal to be late and that I have been doing a lot of complaining, but seriously? This is too much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Samiantha101 · June 2012

I am so ready to be done being pregnant for a very long time, however I am scrambling to get some stuff done that's not baby related. I feel as though I need another month to complete it. It will be close. Eek!

Liz_Moss · June 2012

I'm content as well. I have some work to accomplish in the next two weeks, that I really CAN NOT have baby come early! Plus the fact that we need to move as well, so I would prefer if she stays put for at least another 2 weeks!

tcu_2003 · June 2012

I'm still okay. I like that I'm still getting fairly good sleep and not having major problems other than an achy back. I don't like all the comments and questions about why I won't let baby out, or everyone's opinion on which day he should come. He'll come when he's ready (or early next week when my doctor gives him an eviction date) - not when everyone else thinks he should come.
