ProudMommy030614 · March 2014

How far along are you? When are you due? 37weeks due 3/31

How are you feeling - physically, emotionally, mentally? Physically- hurt like hell. Emotionally- I am a mean bitch anymore and don't know where this person came from. (at times I kinda like her though). Mentally- scared to have 3 kids (4 if you count H) also as my tubal gets closer I am scared to have surgery since I have never had surgery before.

What do you love about being an end of the month-er? Nothing, time is dragging by!

If there is one issue about being an end of the month-er that drives you more crazy than anything else, what is it? If LO is one day late than he will be born on April fools day!

peachy0709 · March 2014

How far along are you? When are you due?
38 w 4 d. Due March 21.

How are you feeling - physically, emotionally, mentally?
Physically: much better than our last check in! I'm still a bit worn down and cramp-y, but either I've learned to tolerate the pain or it's not as severe as last week.
Emotionally: Fine, although my tolerance for my mother has dropped significantly with her constant check ins and "predictions" for the baby's arrival.
Mentally: Ready and waiting for her to join us. I'm not as anxious as last week (the body naturally dilating and effacing a bit more helped put me at rest that my body does, in fact, seem to have a sense of what to do), and I am getting really excited.

What do you love about being an end of the month-er?
The chance that she could be an April baby because a diamond birth stone wouldn't be a bad thing

If there is one issue about being an end of the month-er that drives you more crazy than anything else, what is it?
This is more personal than anything else, but my mom is soooooo excited at the prospect that it could be a St. Patrick's Day baby. I should mention we are not Irish, so I have no idea where this sudden excitement has come from with her.

Golferbee · March 2014

How far along are you? When are you due? March 22, 38w3d

How are you feeling - physically, emotionally, mentally? Eh, it's definitely gotten to be more of a struggle physically this past week. Breathing is a job.

What do you love about being an end of the month-er? Closer to spring weather with this crazy winter? (I'm reaching here...)

If there is one issue about being an end of the month-er that drives you more crazy than anything else, what is it? Seeing all these outside babies already!!!! I am ready for the little man!

saisongbird · March 2014

How far along are you? When are you due? - 37w1d - 3/31

How are you feeling - physically, emotionally, mentally? Baby girl DROPPED. There is so much pressure behind my pelvic bone that driving is PAINFUL. And I need to start the prilosec again - I'm not sleeping because of the heartburn. I thought that once she dropped it wouldn't be as bad. Yeah, not so much.

Emotionally - I have up days and down days. I am really emotionally struggling with how to maintain my sense of self while being a good mom. My schedule is very difficult in the evenings and since I want to BF, I worry about going to back to work in September.

Mentally - I'm done. Get her out. GET HER OUT NOW. Except that I want a week to relax on mat. leave before she comes!

What do you love about being an end of the month-er? Originally, I liked seeing what people were going through so I knew what to expect. I do like seeing the babies of the regs. The drive-bys I'm kinda like, and you are?

If there is one issue about being an end of the month-er that drives you more crazy than anything else, what is it? I feel like everyone is like "just you wait. you have no clue." I find it really rude. Maybe what I'm experiencing isn't PP pain, but it doesn't mean how I feel doesn't deserve a valid response. I feel like there's great divide starting between the MOOBs and the end-of-month-ers, and while I get that we're all tired/cranky/achy, even the regs are starting to get short with each other, and I don't like seeing that happen.

Aturl · March 2014

How far along are you? When are you due?
38wk2 Due the 23rd

How are you feeling - physically, emotionally, mentally?
Not feeling so hot on any of those levels. Kinda wanting to just stay in bed all day today. That doesn't really work with an almost two yr old and give yr old though.

What do you love about being an end of the month-er?
At this point and time nothing lol. It's like it is so close yet still so far away!!

If there is one issue about being an end of the month-er that drives you more crazy than anything else, what is it?
Nothing really other than all the March babies being born already!! When is it our turn lol

oceanangel0502 · March 2014

How far along are you? When are you due? 37w4d due march 28. But have an induction date of 3/14 bc of LO size and my swelling

How are you feeling - physically, emotionally, mentally?
Physically-my back hurts constantly, I have a lot of pressure in my pelvis, I am extremely swollen and uncomfortable.
Emotionally-exhausted, I have been crying an extra a lot lately
Mentally-getting nervous bc it's about to happen, tired, wish I could turn my brain off

What do you love about being an end of the month-er? The weather will hopefully be a little warmer for his arrival

If there is one issue about being an end of the month-er that drives you more crazy than anything else, what is it?
Nothing

I am 37 w 4 d. Due March 28th.
How are you feeling - physically, emotionally, mentally?
Physically I'm getting frustrated with my body. I'm so sluggish in the mornings & evenings. If I sit too long, my feet swell, if I stand too long, swelling. I really really miss the ease of rolling over in bed. Emotionally I'd love to have my patience back. I constantly am feeling attacked if people speak to me in any time stronger than regular conversational tone. Mentally-- HOLY SHIT I HATE PATRICE. I took a break from work yesterday and it was beautiful. I've been at work for half the morning and I'm already over just listening to her talk out loud.
What do you love about being an end of the month-er?
LOL! I don't love anything, besides the fact that I am getting a baby. I'd much rather be due in the middle of the month. That way I could say I KNOW she's being born in March. None of this maybe April BS.
If there is one issue about being an end of the month-er that drives you more crazy than anything else, what is it?

Definitely seeing outside babies. OR feeling bad about commiserating about pregnancy aches & pains since I've got 2+ weeks left while some ladies are 8 days overdue.

kimberpoo · March 2014

How far along are you? When are you due? About 37 weeks, due April 4th (doc changed my due date from march 25 to april 10 to april 4, so lord only knows when this LO will arrive!!)

How are you feeling - physically, emotionally, mentally? feeling pretty good. more sore and tired this week than before. I'm hoping I don't get super worn out for these last few weeks like many of our fellow bumpers did, but hey, it's not a big deal right? I think being uncomfortable will just make me more impatient for LO's arrival.

What do you love about being an end of the month-er? I love that when something comes up in my pg, I already have an idea of what it is or what to expect because so many ladies have posted about the issue! I feel very prepared.

If there is one issue about being an end of the month-er that drives you more crazy than anything else, what is it? seeing all the adorable squishy outside babies and hearing the birth stories but still having a few weeks to go. It makes me impatient for my LO to arrive! I want him to cook for as long as he needs, but man I am counting the days...not because I'm uncomfortable but because I'm excited!

Sanibel21 · March 2014

How far along are you? When are you due?
37 weeks, 3/30

How are you feeling - physically, emotionally, mentally?
Physically I've been doing battle with an awful cold for like 11 days, not sleeping.
Emotionally/mentally- melting down in the middle of the night when not able to sleep. Upset because I feel like in wasting DHs and my last couple weeks alone being sick and miserable.

What do you love about being an end of the month-er?
That when I get anxious about labor, delivery, and having a newborn, I still feel like I have some time until it all happens.
And that maternity leave will extend to some of summer.

If there is one issue about being an end of the month-er that drives you more crazy than anything else, what is it?
That I still have to go to work.

kstar83 · March 2014

How far along are you? When are you due?

March 29, 37w4d

How are you feeling - physically, emotionally, mentally?

I am exhausted and irritable. I hate people. I hate working. I just want to curl up in a ball with my ice cream and nap, but it hurts.

What do you love about being an end of the month-er? I like that LO's BDay will be between me and DH. Although there are a ton of gift giving occasions for us in the spring...

If there is one issue about being an end of the month-er that drives you more crazy than anything else, what is it? I am impatient. Very Very Impatient.

tsmith312 · March 2014

How far along are you? When are you due? 38 weeks due March 24th

How are you feeling - physically, emotionally, mentally? I feel ok, I'm just un comfortable more so during the day at work sitting at my desk and at night ( lighting crotch is intense !). AND of course my reg. B*tch the swelling and my high BP !!! Peeing in that jug all day/night Sunday was no fun !!.

What do you love about being an end of the month-er? Not too much haha. I feel like everyone has had their baby BUT me !

If there is one issue about being an end of the month-er that drives you more crazy than anything else, what is it? Seeing all these precious healthy LOs and not having mine And Im afraid ill have an April Fools baby haha.

kelley72 · March 2014

pepperedmoth · March 2014

How far along are you? When are you due? --- 38+1; 3/24

How are you feeling - physically, emotionally, mentally? --- I WAS feeling like hell until a few hours ago. Yesterday my feet expanded so dramatically during the day that I couldn't keep my shoes on and MH had to come to my office with his big mud boots for me to put on. I'm borrowing work clogs from one of the surgeons because nothing else will fit my feet! Also I am having trouble standing for more than 15 minutes or so because of back pain that mimics contractions. Also fatigue and just feeling done.

BUT BUT BUT I just talked to HR and my manager and I am DONE WITH WORK as of FRIDAY. !!!!!!!!

This is one week early. I am so happy about this that I feel better already. Three more daaaaaaaays!!!!!!

What do you love about being an end of the month-er? ---- It might finally be warm (like....40s to 50s) by the time I have LO!

If there is one issue about being an end of the month-er that drives you more crazy than anything else, what is it? --- feeling left out. :-(

But honestly right now this moment I am SO HAPPY about going on mat leave a week early that it doesn't matter!

pumpkinsmuggler · March 2014

How far along are you? When are you due? 37w4d due March 28!

How are you feeling - physically, emotionally, mentally?

Physically- Actually a little better than I was. I have been sitting on a ball, and that seems to have helped my back and hips a little bit! I also have a little extra energy (not a lot). I think it's the weather upswing the last few days!
Emotionally- oh, fine. Could be much worse. I got down all of DS's gear and washed/prepped, so I'm in a good mood this week.

Mentally- Getting a bit anxious I guess in a good way. DH has to work 4hrs away Mon/Tues of next week… My mom is gone Monday as well. I'm basically destined to go into labor that day and have to drive myself and DS along to the hospital from the St. Patrick's parade!

What do you love about being an end of the month-er?

ehhhh… I guess the weather being nicer.
If there is one issue about being an end of the month-er that drives you more crazy than anything else, what is it? Waiting!

Pankers · March 2014

Yay, end of the monthers!!! I was due 27th March, but Eva Mary arrived a week ago. Way too impatient like her mother. I still think of myself as an end of the monther. Being at the end of the month means that you can learn all the things the beginning of the monthers are asking about. Don't get me wrong, I love my little girl, but still not prepared!!

FroeschleN · March 2014

How far along are you? When are you due? 37 + 5 , estimated due date 3/27

How are you feeling - physically, emotionally, mentally? All around tired and hurting, but happy he's still in there (cause I'm not ready yet!). Been having the nesting feeling but there's honestly almost no energy to get anything done, and crazy prego me wants everything perfect before he arrives. Thankfully DH has tomorrow off and we're going to try to get stuff done.

I've been having tons of crazy dreams since I'm waking up more often. Worst one was that LO died inside of me right before birth (had this dream twice and freaks me out)... of course that ruined my whole day.

What do you love about being an end of the month-er? More time to prepare!!! Plus my mom isn't here yet and probably won't be able to be here for another 2 weeks...

If there is one issue about being an end of the month-er that drives you more crazy than anything else, what is it? Nothing drives me crazy, but I will admit that I'm jealous that the MOOBS get to hold and cuddle their horribly cute babies and I can't (yet). So many cute little babies on this forum! Looking forward to adding a picture of mine when he's here.

cmb2 · March 2014

How far along are you? When are you due?

How are you feeling - physically, emotionally, mentally? Physically most of the time I'm fine - at the end of the day is the worst and my body is ready for bed, but when I'm IN bed is the worst worst, as far as back/groin aches and getting up to pee.

Emotionally I want to KILL DH when he says he's tired too, (repeat from my Bfest yesterday) because I know that I'm the whole unicorn pregnancy, but damnit, if I need to I will tell you every last ailment at this point that I spare you the details of so that you STFU and realize that I need more help even if I'm trying my damndest to do everything I did before.

Mentally - SO checked out of work. SO SO SO. It's cruel to expect pregnant people to work the last few weeks. But I'm not "so ready to have the baby" - meh- he can cook longer. Just so ready to not be at work. And holy crap am I really going to have 2 kids in 1-4 weeks? Really? When/How did this happen and am I prepared? (that's the 2.5 seconds of thought I put into that on average daily.)

What do you love about being an end of the month-er? For being due in March specifically - SPRING! So hopefully in the future DS can have nice spring birthday parties because by the end of the month every year hopefully winter has made it's way out!

If there is one issue about being an end of the month-er that drives you more crazy than anything else, what is it? For being an end of the monther on TB, just feeling like I can't complain (except here, yay!) and seeing that people are off work. So jealous

Rita092010 · March 2014

How far along are you? When are you due?

RCS scheduled for 3/24, officially due 3/29

How are you feeling - physically, emotionally, mentally?

Physically -- who knows. Borderline pre-eclampsia and migraines, just started bed rest today. Was wrote a prescription for Tylenol #3 but still need to pick it up..blah.

Emotionally/mentally -- stressed. I have a lot of homework to get done being a full time grad student before she gets here. I burst into tears thinking about it.

What do you love about being an end of the month-er?

I'm trying to learn from what all of the other moms have gone through recently, even though I am a STM. It is hard to remember those early days of sleep deprivation and it has definitely been a reality check and helped me reset my expectations.

If there is one issue about being an end of the month-er that drives you more crazy than anything else, what is it?

Waiting, just waiting.

benevolentforce · March 2014

How far along are you? When are you due? 37 + 5 , EDD 3/27

How are you feeling - physically, emotionally, mentally?
This weekend was 2 days of semi-painful false labor, and it was not that fun. Good news is that the baby is fine - dropped, engaged and facing down. She can come whenever she wants at this point, but the further into the month we get, the better (obvi).

What do you love about being an end of the month-er?
Although I'm mentally ready for this to be over, I need the time to finish things up at work and at home. I also find myself savoring my last 'alone' days with my husband - even when I'm cranky and in pain.

If there is one issue about being an end of the month-er that drives you more crazy than anything else, what is it?
Nothing really. I lurk on Feb'14, and read everything our MOOBs post here to try to learn as much as possible (and prep mentally). There's nothing to it but to do it at this point though.

PeytonEliMama · March 2014

How far along are you? When are you due? 38w 3d, due 3/22

How are you feeling - physically, emotionally, mentally? Physically: this kid seems to be resting on a nerve in my spine so I get random bouts of numbness down my legs when walking, which is tons of fun. I also get lightening crotch as I walk, so basically I am quite a sight to behold when trying to get from point A to point B. Mentally: I seem to do better during the week when I am work and have to focus on getting stuff done. It is when I am sitting around at home at night and on the weekends that I over-analyze every little twinge and get pissy when I don't notice any signs of impending labor. There is no reason to think I will go early, but that does not stop me playing this mind game with myself. Emotionally: I have not really been emotional this pregnancy, so I am pretty good in this department. Although I did have a mini-meltdown this weekend when I was so exhausted and could not imagine getting through the day while chasing a 2 yr. old/

What do you love about being an end of the month-er? Not much. The only good thing I can think of is that my maternity leave will extend further into June, so a better chance of good weather while I am at home. I am so over being cooped up after this horrendous winter, and cannot wait to be able to get outside more.

If there is one issue about being an end of the month-er that drives you more crazy than anything else, what is it? Just being an end of the month-er and seeing so many other people having their babies and being done with pregnancy (I am not a fan of being pregnant, so I get irrationally annoyed when others are done before me).

WoodShopGirl · March 2014

How far along are you? When are you due?

38+ weeks 3/23

How are you feeling - physically, emotionally, mentally?

Pretty good, just uncomfortable. I got a pedicure last night and the tech really rubbed the swelling in my feet and ankles so they seem to be a little better today. My back is achy, but nothing too bad.

I have no patience lately (or ever) so I am being a bit bitchy, trying to keep that in check and not let it affect my customers/employees.

What do you love about being an end of the month-er?

Still (hopefully) having 2 more weeks to get shit done.

If there is one issue about being an end of the month-er that drives you more crazy than anything else, what is it?

I am in the same boat as a lot of you with the birth announcements. Really hoping that the same support is there for us at the end of the month. And there are a ton a names I don't recognize now.

SurpriseAt39 · March 2014

How far along are you?
- 38w5d
When are you due?
- March 20
How are you feeling - physically, emotionally, mentally?
- all the above, good
What do you love about being an end of the month-er ?
- only plus this time is that my OB won't let me go past EDD, so no chance of LO sharing a birthday with MIL (all my pregnancies have hade EDDs near end of month)

If there is one issue about being an end of the month-er that drives you more crazy than anything else, what is it?
- always the fear of being pregnant into the next month

hvhoward · March 2014

How far along are you? When are you due? 37 weeks, due 3/29

How are you feeling - physically, emotionally, mentally?

Physically - just plain uncomfortable most of the time. Baby boy has recently decided that he likes to use my ribs as a springboard. LOT of kicks to the ribs

Emotionally- I'm doing pretty good, getting a bit bitchier than normal but most of the time I can catch that and tone it down a bit.

Mentally- I can't believe I'll be a mom by the end of the month. It still doesn't seem real

What do you love about being an end of the month-er? That the weather will ( hopefully) be nice when baby boy comes home.

If there is one issue about being an end of the month-er that drives you more crazy than anything else, what is it? Seeing all of the birth announcements. And not feeling like I can ask any questions because they've already been asked (weeks ago) and I wasn't paying attention.

kmeyers0611 · March 2014

How far along are you? When are you due?

37 wks + 3, due March 29

How are you feeling - physically, emotionally, mentally?

Physically - Baby is so low so getting up from a sitting or laying position feels like it's going to bring me to my knees most times. The pelvic pressure is intense, yet no signs of progression at my appointments!

Emotionally - definitely more bitchy lately, but only because of work. Other than that, I feel great. I just don't have any patience for my job anymore and my boss is driving me nuts!

Mentally - see above. I am totally fried and think I need to consider taking some vacation prior to my leave in order to keep my sanity.

What do you love about being an end of the month-er?

I'm reaching here, but I love that it's lighter outside later and I won't have to worry about any snowstorms delaying me getting to the hospital.

If there is one issue about being an end of the month-er that drives you more crazy than anything else, what is it?

I agree with PPs that I feel like if we complain about anything sometimes we get the shaft like "you just wait" or "how can you complain when I'm this far along and you're not" kind of comments. But, when you look back at the board, those people were all complaining at our point too. Have they forgotten that yes, they were uncomfortable too? I think sometimes our feelings get overlooked or invalidated by others which isn't fair. Just because someone feels something different, doesn't make my problems not exist.

angelsnight · March 2014

How far along are you? When are you due? 38 weeks 5 days, Due March 22, induction scheduled for March 18th

How are you feeling - physically, emotionally, mentally? Physically I am very tired, and my pelvic bones are killing me. Emotionally I am kind of a mess...lots of conflicting feelings....excited, scared, sad. I had a bit of a meltdown the other day...I'm having a baby next week and I just don't know how to feel about it.

What do you love about being an end of the month-er? I like that no other month is possible. It would seem weird to me to have a baby in February, and because of my induction going into April isn't possible. I'm comfy in March

If there is one issue about being an end of the month-er that drives you more crazy than anything else, what is it? No offense to those because I know if you're feeling a lot worse than I am, it must be hard to take. But sometimes it seems like end of the monthers seem to think we have to be pregnant longer than the beginning of the monthers. As if we got pregnant at the same time and they just tacked on an extra few weeks for us.

bao bei · March 2014

When are you due? 3/21 - 38.5 weeks

How are you feeling - physically, emotionally, mentally? Physically not too bad. I got a little sedentary and realized I have less fatigue and aches when I move around, so I've been walking to appointments and stores to get things moving again.

Emotionally, I'm mostly cool except when family and ILs demand instant responses to their "HOW ARE YOU FEEEEEELING?" messages. They have a magical way of making it all about them even though I'm the one pooping out a baby.

Mentally I'm fried, and am using that as my excuse to ignore family and ILs

What do you love about being an end of the month-er? There are a lot of mid-March bdays in my family, so it would be nice for this baby to have her own day.

If there is one issue about being an end of the month-er that drives you more crazy than anything else, what is it? All the MOOBs are tricking me into thinking it's later in the month than it really is. As a FTM I know this baby could bake 3-4 more weeks!

CharlestonVal · March 2014

Today I'm 38w 4d. Due March 21st.

I'm feeling pretty great...have my moments of discomfort but otherwise feeling normal. A little more tired and easily worn out.

It's so fun watching everyone else in March 2014 have their babies! Knowing I'm "next" sortof....just gets me all the more excited to meet my little girl!

...but on the same page, I'm so jealous! I dont know whether to take time OFF of work, or just keep working because it could easily be two or three more weeks still if I go super late and I dont want to get bored, haha!

Doc says cervix is CLOSED so no action yet. And other than obvious B-H...I'm not having any real contractions. So we wait.

It does worry me that my usually wiggly baby belly has become so still lately...almost paranoid, really. Don't want to be that panicky calling my OB all the time but for reals, she barely moves at all now....

laurstarx · March 2014

How far along are you? When are you due?
37w1d // march 31st

How are you feeling - physically, emotionally, mentally?
Exhausted, uncomfortable, in pain. But excited the end is near and I get to meet my baby girl

What do you love about being an end of the month-er?
Nothing. I'm ready now! Haha

If there is one issue about being an end of the month-er that drives you more crazy than anything else, what is it?
Everyone is having their babies here and I'm just over here like "ugh my vag hurts"

HobokensFury · March 2014

How far along are you? 38 weeks, 3 days When are you due? the 22nd

How are you feeling - physically, emotionally, mentally? I'm so over this. I just want him here already.

What do you love about being an end of the month-er? LO missed all of the snow (hopefully)

If there is one issue about being an end of the month-er that drives you more crazy than anything else, what is it? I keep seeing all of the outside babies and can't help but being a little jealous.

nickied143 · March 2014

How far along are you? When are you due?

38 + 2, 3/23

How are you feeling - physically, emotionally, mentally?

I'm exhausted, and anxious and overly ready

What do you love about being an end of the month-er?

Um...nothing? Ha. I'm hoping there will be less snow by the time I bring baby home, but seeing as how we are getting hit with another 3-6'' between tonight and tomorrow, its not looking good for me!

If there is one issue about being an end of the month-er that drives you more crazy than anything else, what is it?

Seeing everyone else have their babies. I know I have +/- 12 days, but if this baby doesnt come soon, I may actually lose my mind!

Kbhunter · March 2014

How far along are you? When are you due?
37.4 weeks ,due March 28th

How are you feeling - physically, emotionally, mentally?
Still tough with my back, getting up and down from sitting or lying is really painful. At night heartburn is better but I still dread bedtime. I toss and turn and have to get up about 3-4 times to pee, it hurts so much to get out of bed I hate it. Anxiety is a little better, I have been tying a lot of loose ends up and it feels better knowing it's done. (I'm on the committee for a big fundraiser on the 22nd, a lot of pressure and it's been annoying)
My mom calling everyday talking to me like I'm a child and checking in is driving me nuts. I feel bad because I'm not a nice person lately.

What do you love about being an end of the month-er?
Nothing in particular.

If there is one issue about being an end of the month-er that drives you more crazy than anything else, what is it?
I am nervous about a April fools day baby too!

cmb2 · March 2014

Another end of the month "perk" -? Just had my first random person that I have met maybe 3 times ask if I am dilated yet. I seriously thought it was a joke but no, apparently people really do ask that.

akflutterby · March 2014

How far along are you? - 37+2

When are you due? - 3/30

How are you feeling

- physically: I was so sick yesterday I just wanted to die, I was totally over being pregnant and just wanted to have her and be done with it all. Today though I'm feeling pretty good and I'd like to have her cook a little longer so I can "enjoy" being pregnant for the very last time and not forget what it feels like to have a little person growing inside me.

- emotionally: I'm such a roller coaster lately, I'll cry at the drop of a hat (or want to stab someone in the face).

- mentally: I so wish I had more money or more vacation time. I am having so much difficulty being at work right now, but I can't afford to not be. I just wish I had some peaceful time to lay down, relax, and rest.

What do you love about being an end of the month-er?

- I can read the earlier mama's birth stories and psych myself up for the labor process...or freak myself out

If there is one issue about being an end of the month-er that drives you more crazy than anything else, what is it?

- that I could have even longer left than I want to think about. I'm due in about three weeks, so the fact that it could actually be FIVE makes me feel like I'm never gonna have this girl. (I'm also totally with the other moms who are scared of the April Fool's Day baby, and excited about the possibility of a St. Patrick's Day baby - my mother's family is Irish and my grandfather passed two years ago on that day so it would have nice meaning - but it would affect my celebrating ability for the rest of my life...)

Almost 38wks!! Woot! Seriously though, just walking is a struggle for me at this point. So uncomfortable, I could have never imagined... I guess the only thing keeping me sane is the thought that these are my last days with my babe, just her and me- it's as if every little hiccup and kick is our little secret. Trying to cherish it and not wish it away even though I'm more uncomfortable than I've ever been!

I was an end of the monther (due March 30th), but my little one arrived last Friday! Just wanted to say as a FTM I assumed I would go late and deliver in April, but little Madilyn had other plans. Your LO could be here any day!

Today I am 37 weeks and 3 days... Due the 29th! Feeling great physically, emotionally is hit or miss - hubby and I have been going at it lately ( not in a good way) trying to get our shit hashed out and focus on being amazing parents to this lil guy

Excited to be a month ender because it is still so suspenseful! Everyone is still weighing in when they think he will come and for all I know he could end up being an April baby! As far as the downside about being a month ender, I'm just super jealous of those mommies that have their LO already and I'm still bitching about being prego, I feel so behind.

BTW anyone else progressing at their appt's but no signs of labor? I am 3 cm, 80% effaced, and my doc can feel lil man's head.... I have not felt a single contraction, or seen any action! I asked if I would know if I was in labor and he said "oh trust me, you will know" I read most the birth stories and I feel like everyone is going from 0 -10 in one shot, and I'm out walking around at 3 cm...lol any end of monthers going through this as well?

How far along are you? When are you due?
37 weeks 6 days, due 3/28....c section scheduled 3/21 due to DD being breech

How are you feeling - physically, emotionally, mentally?

Physically-OUCH! She's going to HULK out if my stomach, my legs, ankles, feet have become one, every bone feels like it could break

Emotionally- I cry easily anyways, so the waterworks are out. Of. Control.

Mentally- trying to come to terms with having a c section. Scared, nervous.

What do you love about being an end of the month-er?

Ummmm...not much lol. One good thing- 10 week maternity leave has me out through Memorial Day!

If there is one issue about being an end of the month-er that drives you more crazy than anything else, what is it?

How far along are you? When are you due? 38w4d - March 29th

How are you feeling - physically, emotionally, mentally? I've got a cold and have finally reached the "tired of being pregnant" phase.

What do you love about being an end of the month-er? Maybe the baby will be born in April, and close to his cousin's due date

If there is one issue about being an end of the month-er that drives you more crazy than anything else, what is it? All of the outside babies already makes me so jealous. No one is going to care by the time we have ours. Wahhh.
