9 weeks feels like forever

Ersulli · March 2014

I thought when I got to single digit weeks it would feel like the baby would be here soon... But I was wrong. 9 more weeks feels like 9 more years.

It's really dragging for me too (6 weeks left).

awc1986 · March 2014

6 weeks and 3 days. If I fall asleep tonight and wake up on my due date I would be sooooo happy.

Actually I'll be pretty impressed if I fall asleep tonight.

SMM1986 · March 2014

I'm hoping that each minute of each day won't seem so torturous once I stop working. Working full time with two kids and everything that goes along with that is wiping me out badly. I'd really like to enjoy my last few weeks the best I can.

motoLyn · March 2014

I got six weeks and three days, of which 4 weeks I am working still. As I sat on the toilet this morning blissfully pooping I was running through what I needed to do in the next few days and how in about two weeks is my next appt with the MW in which I'll be 35 weeks and 3 days along. Then I kind of freaked out that time was going by quickly, but as I sit here at work, I realize its going to be a looooooong four weeks till I go on leave.

I hit 10 weeks yesterday and I'm wishing time would slow down a bit! Still so much to do and I've had zero motivation lately.

Soupy84 · March 2014

I will be down to 7 weeks on Saturday. I have so much still to do! I wish it would slow down. But on the other hand, I want to rush the last few weeks of work.

jjones59 · March 2014

I have 9 weeks 5 days left and I'm thinking that it'll never be May or he'll never be here.

Lild09 · March 2014

Some of the ladies I work with told me the last 6 weeks feel as long as the first 6 months...woo! 6 w 5 days to go yup it's gonna take forever! Then I think what if I go to 41 or 42 w? Please no!

Marcella05 · March 2014

I feel like time started crawling in the last week. Everything before that went fast. But that's probably because we had the baby shower last week and everything is ready to go for the baby! So with all the things in place, I feel like... Now I have to wait? Eeeeeeeeeee

ksyknelvr73 · March 2014

It feels like it is dragging for me. Almost 10 weeks left and that seems like an eternity! I can't wait for May.

mileswithmyles · March 2014

I felt like weeks 13-9 dragged. Now I feel like I am running out of time to get everything done!

ShannonSky · March 2014

My csection is 4 weeks from Monday and I'm torn. I'm ready to be done and totally unprepared at the same time. And I want a friggen house so I can stop feeling like we are in limbo.

bridetobe9132013 · March 2014

Sometimes I feel like its going by slow but other times it seems quick. I'm looking forward to April for my showers and so I can say that its next month! I have 8 weeks and 3 days left.

keeumm · March 2014

We need all the time we can get! Just under 10 weeks here. Baby shower is this Saturday, and then I'm making DH buckle down and start getting REALLy ready- go through our must haves, start thinking about hospital bags, car seats, etc...

...Of course, when I say I'm going to make him buckle down and do this stuff with me, it means that we'll both need a minimum of 3 weeks to recover from the shower, then 2 weeks to talk about everything that needs to be done, then 4 weeks to make lists of what needs to be done, and we'll end up doing most of it the week before. Cool.

Edited because my first sentence got deleted from my fat fingers.

Ersulli · March 2014

Second Tri went waaaaay faster for me than first - that's for sure. And I was feeling right on track but I agree in the last week or so it seems time slowed down again. Although like most of you I have a lot left to do so I guess it's good I have the time. I'm also torn because I know once the baby is out I will miss being prego... But that knowledge doesn't change how I feel at the moment.

JAM85 · March 2014

Yes it seems like forever now and I only have 7.5 weeks until they talk induction. At the same time she is still breech so I am hoping it's enough time for her to flip! I want her here NOW to snuggle but I also want her to get maximum cooking time. Basically my head is a tennis match.

hfooter · March 2014

I feel like it is going so slow too. And it's even more annoying that statistically FTM are late. So even though I have 9 weeks till my EDD I feel like it really is more like 10-11 weeks left.

Mamazon2014 · March 2014

I have 9 weeks until my induction and it feels so far away!
Hopeful time will fly by as I get busier. I have 5 weeks left of school. My BF class is next week, April 2nd starts the first of my 4 week birthing classes, April 12th is a baby expo at my hospital, April 19th is my shower and then mid May is my graduation ceremony for my Associate's degree.

Fingers crossed that staying busy will make the time fly!

eemiers · March 2014

I have 7 weeks left and it is definitely dragging! My tummy keeps getting bigger and I'm running out of clothes. Every day lasts forever but i don't feel mentally prepared for the baby yet! Gah,,

I'll be right there with you waddling around miserable at 41 weeks, because my body hates me and won't go into labor in it's own.

ThereBeDragons · March 2014

I feel like I'm in the twilight zone. We rushed prep for baby because she was expected to come early so the nursery is finished, the shower presents have arrived and (mostly) been put away. The house is clean and waiting.... And now we just have some indeterminate number of weeks left. Could be two. Could be 9. Of course I am hoping she keeps baking for as long as she needs to bake- but its a little surreal to look around and say- Well,all we need now is the baby....

chillypenguin · March 2014

Last time, I remember feeling so miserable the last few weeks and looking over at the swing in the corner of the room and thinking that it felt like we were never going to have the baby.. This time, the individual days are long and I am so exhausted, but sometimes I can hardly believe I only have 6-7 weeks left (they might induce at 39 weeks).

I think it helps that I am such a slacker this time, because I have SO much left to do that it makes the time seem to go a little faster.

Jennyinheaven · March 2014

I have a little over 5 weeks left, I am ready, I can no longer eat or poop properly so I am really looking forward to having the baby in my arms not belly. Whoever last ultrasound she was breech so here is hoping at my 36 week scan a she has flipped.

dp1320 · March 2014

Just under 8 weeks here...and it feels like a ways away but then I think about all that we have to do still and it seems like barely enough time!!

Alexinav · March 2014

I'm a little over nine weeks. I think my only complaint is working even tho I only work 3 days out of the week lol. But I haven't had my shower yet (April 12th) so I'm not really baby ready. I think after my shower is done and I'm able to finish up being prepared for her ill start to feel like this but right now I feel like I don't have enough. I'm glad I waited to have my shower in April and not March.

Ersulli · March 2014

Glad several of you are having April showers (pun intended). I was nervous that I waited way too long (ftm)

sheriot · March 2014

48 days until my due date. Still need to: find a place to live, move, buy some baby stuff, wash baby stuff, put baby stuff away in furniture that is TBD. Time can slow down.

This for me too, plus a husband who works nights, so I'm on my own with the kids after working all day.

rainydayluck · March 2014

I'm on team "time can slow down" because I'm certainly not ready.

Sdufort1216 · March 2014

9 weeks to go and had a dream baby was born april 28 ( 4 wks early) I'm praying it comes true cuz the pressures killing me. so is my body...

flockofmoosen3 · March 2014

I can't say anything different than what's already been said. It's dragging for me too and I am a very impatient person. At least we aren't totally ready at home yet (still two showers to go this month) so I have that to keep me occupied.

I have about 8 weeks left....

DD was 4 weeks early and had to be in the NICU due to low blood sugar. I'm certainly not hoping for a preterm baby.
ETA: preterm is now considered 37 weeks; I find it dumb to "pray" for a preterm baby.

Ersulli · March 2014

My baby's room does not have a floor... So... I guess I should be glad there's time

PrincessJess19 · March 2014

10 weeks left tomorrow (yep I'm due on the LAST day of May)...between yesterday and today? I actually felt jealous watching tv where a girl was comfortably lounging around. I love feeling baby rolls and kicks, but I also want my body back to myself. I'll be pregnant forever!!

No. My daughter was born 4 weeks and 1 day early. She died 28 hours later.

I don't care how shitty you feel. The pressure and your body are not literally killing you. If you feel like your life is actually in danger, go to the hospital. They'll determine if the threat to your life is worth the risk of delivering pre-term. I'm assuming you're using the expression as a metaphor. I'm sorry you don't feel well. You'd feel worse if something happened to your child.

caballo718 · March 2014

I have 9 weeks left also. It feels like forever and I've slowed down so much that I won't be moving in 9 weeks.

iqwedding3 · March 2014

Funny, I had thought everything was going SO SLOW, and then my doc scheduled my csection for 37 weeks and I suddenly jumped into the single digits. So much to do! Good luck and hang in there!

momthatlifts · March 2014

I really does. So close yet so far away ...

Ersulli · March 2014

Now it's 8 for me but that last week was a long one. If the rest are this long... Lord help me

Sdufort1216 · March 2014

gees I was told 37 to 40weeks is full term so obviously I wouldn't imagine 3 weeks early would be a problem
