So close...

Alyssa102 · October 2012

I am so loyal to our BMB, I really never go on the Tri boards at all anymore.

I went lurking over on third tri last night and read nothing but birth stories and losing of the MP ect....Really put into perpsective how close we are getting.

Are you scared? Excited? What are you guys feeling?

Excited. I feel a bizarre calm about all of this baby stuff! She's going to come out one way or the other so I'm really not too nervous, I just can't wait to see her.

malsmom2009 · October 2012

I'm just ready. I know I'm blessed to be pg and all that, but I'm ready to have my body back and meet my DS. This is baby 2 for us though, so I've done it once before. I know each delivery is different, but having gone thru it once, I'm not really scared, just ready. Now...as for the nursery being ready...that's another story...

Those posts are affecting me much more, before I just read them and brushed it off. Now I'm reading them and wondering if my MP will come out, all at once? Or at different times? Wondering if my water will or will not break?!? Will I be induced or will my body be ready by 40 weeks. I chalk it up to having a little over 10 weeks to go. I just got being pregnant figured out...now it's time to wonder/worry about labor!! Eeeekkkkkkkkkkkk!

At least I have a good mind set...according to my H and my friends. My labor will be what it is. I 100% trust and adore my doctors/nurses and I know they will take good care of me and our LO. I don't have a birth plan because I didn't want to set a bunch of standards only to have glitches happen. So even though I've educated myself a great deal on labor, pain options, procedures...I'm basically going to go with the flow of it all. And in the end, we'll have our LO in our arms! BRING IT ON!!

I'm secretly hoping LO comes a few weeks early...which I know is bad, but I'd so love to have a December baby...for several reasons!

That is great mindset. That is how I am as well. My only plan right now is to give birth.

dulcemariamar1 · October 2012

I am excited but I still need some time to get things ready. Plus, I wouldnt mind a few more lazy weekends of sleeping in until noon.

I think I will be ready by the 2nd week of December. I love Christmas so I hope I wont be in the hospital giving birth. I think it will be cool to have a NYE's baby.

I pretty much stay on our board as well. For me, I think once December hit's I will start feeling all kinds of emotions since to me that's the final countdown.

I am SOOOOOOOOOOOO excited!!

landosmommy · October 2012

I'm extremely excited! But I can wait 10 more weeks until LO makes his/her debut. It will be such a big change once he/she is here!

Same here. I'm very excited to be in the 3rd tri but doing everything I can to think of having at least another 10 weeks. I don't want to start thinking oh I'm 37 weeks it could be anytime because I know as a FTM its more likely that I will go late than early.

megamegan60 · October 2012

Im not gonna lie, Im a little nervous. Not about the labor or anything like that, I am nervous for such a significant life change since its baby #1 for us. We are the first ones of our friends to have kids and I just never feel like we are prepared. I think once we get into November a little, I will really be freaking. lol. Right now my due date countdown is 9 weeks 2 days, so that is just NUTS!!!!

mamak0328 · October 2012

I think I'm in denial. I keep thinking I have 6 more months left to get everything together. I am very excited I just don't feel like its that close yet but in reality it is.

Willow0101 · October 2012

I get these overwhelming feelings every so often lately when I think about how much time is left, but so far I am not too worried about delivery....I am sure as the days start to count down ill start to freak out.

leller00 · October 2012

I'm excited and nervous all at the same time. It has been 11 years since I have had a baby so it all seems familiar and oddly enough, new at the same time. As silly as this may sound there are days I feel like a veteran mom and days I feel like I have forgotten what it is really like to have a NB

LOL. I have a 2 year old and feel the exact same way.

dlbrous · October 2012

Most of the time I feel overwhelmed with how quickly time is passing by. I feel like everything is so fast paced with work and various other obligations popping up. I want more time for me to relax and prepare mentally. On the other hand, when my hips hurt, and I lose my breath easily, and I realize how huge I'm getting, and how work is just going to get more difficult... I get more excited about being this far along. And then again, I just can't wait for LO to be here so I can meet him! SO many feelings and emotions.

aklawrence1 · October 2012

Eek. I'm a mix of both. Very excited to meet our LO, but also very scared of the delivery portion. As a FTM, I only know what to expect based on what I've heard, so it's just the anxiety of not really knowing. But can't wait to see LO and hold her in my arms!

Reyka9 · October 2012

Excited to meet LO and finally discover whether it's a boy or a girl! Excited to see DS meet his new baby sibling, especially since he thinks babies are the greatest things ever these days. Excited to get another shot at having a successful water birth. Excited to see whether a 2nd birth will go faster than my first (PLEASE let this be true, I don't think I can deal with another 24.5-hour long labor ha ha!)

Nervous because we're having a home birth 1300 miles away from our closest family members, so if the birth happens when DS is awake, DH will be preoccupied with watching him instead of helping me through labor. Nervous and hopeful that all goes smoothly and no hospital transfer is necessary. And nervous because I will be a SAHM to a 2 year old boy and a newborn, ha ha. I guess I won't be sleeping OR napping again for quite a while!
