It seems like everyone i know is pregnant and due a week after me, all are having girls. I get upset from time to time thinking they'll have their babies before me...damnit I'm due first!
I wish my belly was bigger so people could stop treating me like I'm barely preggo just because I'm small doesn't mean I'm less tired, in less pain, and super comfy all the time. Secondly I have killed my husband in my head like 20 times this week lol I am a firm believer that men do get super dumb when ur preggo. Hoping it goes away.
I'm anemic...i can tell when my iron drops super low because i suddenly need to smell stuff ex - laundry detergent, soap, stuff like that. Fix my iron and fix my need to smell stuff...i also have more energy after my iron gets fixed
I hope I don't go into labor before my RCS simply for the fact that I can smugly say "Told you I'd make it to the date" to all the people telling me I'm just huge and won't possibly make it to August.
29 days away from my due date, I cringe thinking that it could be 36 if I go past my due date. DS was 9 days early, so here's to hoping I only have 20 days left!
DH is trying to get my 2 year old to nap in her crib. She keeps sweetly and sadly calling out "Daddy...Daddy?" He's in there now checking on her again and I'm afraid she'll never go to sleep. It's mainly my fault since I never forced the napping in her crib issue earlier but it's time. Then again I'm so glad he's handling it.
I'm in the same boat as @Raclla I want her to cook in there as long as she needs but at the same time I'm like ok...a little early is not a horrible thing, I mean technically I'm only one week away from "full term" I'm ready to get her out and meet her!
But if one more person tells me that I shouldn't hope for an early baby, I may actualy kill someone. Just because I am done being pregnant and ready to meet me baby does not meant that I don't still want what is best (a full term babe). When some idiot asks me a stupid question, i'm going to give a stupid answer.
Oh to be clear physically I would be fine with this one coming early but not so early as to inconvenience my plans of waltzing into the OR without feeling a contraction. I just am at the point of pregnancy rage over all the "OMG you're so big! You're never going to make it!" like these people have any clue as to whether or not I am in fact "too big." Oh it makes me so mad! LOL I equally want them to be right and not right at the same time.
I know i need a RCS, but i feel like i am taking baby before he is ready, and the thought kills me! I have anxeity ab it, so i am taking the RRL tabs and eating dates in hopes it helps my body/baby to be more "ready" for baby to come by the time of my RCS, and everytime i hear a pregnant friend say they wish baby would come around 36-39 weeks, it kills me! I wish i could have my baby when he is ready... (For the record, i have some serious pelvis issues that mean i can never push a baby out, all my children will be C babies)
Started TTC in 2006, LOTS of trying, and trying, and 7 rounds of IVF with 13 embryos, 2 perfect little boys and 5 loses.... All finished with babies, started to make diet changes, Keto, to be MORE for my kids, lost 30 pounds, still going, and 3 months in, I had a natural cycle, and then ovulated... Hubs and I are going to see what happens now... Maybe a natural pregnancy? After everything we have been through? Or just a return to normal hormones? We shall see what the future holds!
I'm slightly sad with how much DHs and my life will change once LO is here. Don't get me wrong I'm thrilled and couldn't be happier but our life is really nice now too

When is your RCS? Mine is scheduled for 39 weeks 5 days which is only 4 days earlier than when my first was born. Granted he was a failed induction after I developed pre-e at 40 weeks, but I don't really consider my RCS being particularly early. I could have even scheduled it for my EDD but I'd like to get out of the hospital before the weekend this time. I could see feeling differently if I was scheduled for 37-38 weeks, but since 39 weeks is now considered full term my practice waits until then if possible.
I have a definite end date (OB won't let me go past my due date), but I'm hoping the docs are right that LO will most likely make an arrival early. I canNOT wait to get this baby out of me and be "me" again...not to mention I can't wait to meet him/her. The suspense is killing me!
Yea this is me. Obviously I want her to be healthy and cook as long as she needs to.. But I would not be upset if she decided to come early. I want my body back.. I feel like I'm in this weird limbo where I know I'm out of shape and need to work out.. But I can't do what I need to to get slim and muscled again. I'm honestly almost as excited to be able to work out and get my body back as I am to meet the baby.
I don't want a pre term baby but I'm over it. I want her he.. Anytime after 36-37 weeks she can gladly make her appreanxsr . And I also an due August 27th and BF mom insists I'll go into Septemeber and I really really don't want her to be right. Cause uhhhhh for so many reasons.
I feel like a horrible person because I just want her out and I know shes not ready. It is just cruel to put a pregnant woman on a diuretic, I already had to pee every 5 minutes before and now its double the amount of trips to the bathroom. This makes it incredibly difficult to sleep, I have actually thought about trying to sleep on the toilet because Im so tired! Also one of the side effects is skin irritation/itching. It constantly feels like my skin is crawling. Not to mention all the normal 3rd tri symptoms that already make a person miserable. The Dr wont even discuss inducing me early, and I feel so selfish for wanting to be done so bad. I really dont know how I am going to make it another 5 weeks!
I am on strict bed rest and everyone I know has been fantastic. All of my friends and people from church want to come over and keep me company. While I am thankful for all of the support, having someone at my house every day makes me more stressed than being home alone. I actually don't mind being alone and resting.
Maybe this should be a UO, but I want this LO to be late. DD was eight days late, so that's what I am expecting/hoping for this time as well. He could come anytime after the due date and I'll be happy. Otherwise, I will be terrified that he's not ready.
I'm unreasonably jealous of all the people here due the first half of the month! I'm due on the 24th, and feel like I still have an absolute age to go, I'm not dropping, I'm not close to anything indicating that I'm close to having a baby.... and I shouldn't be, because I'm not due for 7 more weeks! I'm irrationally mad at my due date. I don't want an early baby (as many others have stated above and for all the same reasons) I just wish I had a different due date
My due date related confession - my for real due date is July 28th. I lurk on the July board some, but after going 9 days late and being induced with DS1 I needed to mentally prepare myself to be late with this one. As much as I'd love to get this baby out of me sooner rather than later, I have a feeling I'll still be pregnant in August anyway and for my own sanity I needed to be in that mindset from the beginning.
So the confession - it's not working. Every little twinge I feel makes me hope that I might go into labor soon. I'm 37 weeks tomorrow (according to the midwife, my ticker is a compromise of dates based on some ultrasound measurements showing me being not as far along as LMP would have me). Can we just get on with it? Then of course I feel guilty because I know the baby needs to bake until it's done. But I'm so done.
I'm still not so sure about this being a mom thing. There, I said it.
Me too. You're not alone.
Me three. This baby was planned.. And I'm very excited.. But I still get flashes of "omg MONEY" and "I'll never get to do this again after the baby comes" and "how will I visit all the places I still want to go to with a kid?;" I'm also concerned I don't have the patience to raise a child. Not to mention.. I'm really not particularly "good with kids". In fact.. I'm really not a fan of kids in general. ... I'm officially a horrible person.

This was so me the last time! DS was due Feb 21st, but didn't come until Feb 25th (induced due to BP). By Feb 1st, I was crying every time another baby was born and I was still pregnant, on bedrest, and MISERABLY HUGE. Like you said, I didn't want him to come early and have issues, I just wanted a sooner due date so I wouldn't be one of the very last moms to give birth. And Feb is a short month!
@JoShan1719, having more than one kid was always the plan for us, but as it gets closer to reality I feel the same way. I'm afraid I'm ruining DD's life and our fun adventures as a family of 3. I'll miss all the special mommy and me time we get together. And I'll miss the small amounts of downtime I get when she naps or is playing nicely by herself. I couldn't really picture life with her until she was born and I can't wrap my head around life with DS yet either, other than knowing lots of changes are coming.
Baby related - I'm 36 weeks and have this crazy feeling like this one is going to come early but we have absolutely nothing done. Like seriously. We have a swing, a rock and play and a few outfits. That's it. If this baby came now, we wouldn't be allowed to leave the hospital because we don't have a car seat. DD#1 is going to be moving rooms and the baby is going in her room. We're only half way through getting the wallpaper down and still have to paint and install flooring. Oh and order DD's new bed too (the baby is going in her crib). The room isn't that terrible because the baby will be in our room for awhile but I really wanted it all done before the baby gets here. We also don't have anywhere for the baby to sleep in our room yet because I'm a freak and can't decide on which pack and play or bassinet to get. We've somewhat picked names but aren't totally sold. I think I'm going to change my username to SLACKER!
Non baby related - I find joe carrol on the following strangely attractive even though the shit he does on that show makes me totally sick and have nightmares.

Its for 39 weeks on august 22, my son was almost 2 weeks over due and an emergency C, which is where we discovered my issues...

I'm increasingly growing terrified of having two at once. Scared I'm gonna mess that shit up. Also worried it won't be the same as getting to bond with one child (although I already love EACH of our girls to death).
I'm ready for them to be on the outside (at this point it's okay for twins- especially with their weights), I've been measuring full term + since 30 weeks.
I secretly wish I could have a catheter so I could sleep without having to get up to piss every twenty minutes.
I am BEYOND tired of the- "OH, you think you're tired now? Wait til the babies get here!" comments. Well no shit! But that's a different kind of tired! And please tell me everything you know about having twins since you've never had them!

Aren't those ridiculous comments great?! I used to say all the times I had to get up and pee was just preparing me for all the time I'll be getting up with the baby. People are freakin stupid. The best comments I would get before and during this pregnancy had to do with my migraines. I get them really bad, like throwing up and sometimes having it give it the hospital. So the stupid people in my life, especially my stepmother, always loved to say how are you going to manage with another baby? Um I'm going to deal with it and do what I have to do just like I did with my first daughter. DUH!

With my first, the tired from having a NB is much more manageable. I much prefer the sleep deprivation due to caring for a NB than being a million weeks pregnant.
I am currently overdosing on sugar because I have a NST this morning and LO is lazy in the morning like me. They hook me up, he doesn't move as much as they like, they make me drink two things of Apple juice, he still doesn't move, everyone freaks out, and I end up spending my entire day at the doctor.
So I am eating two waffles covered in butter and syrup, having a huge glass of oj, and drinking a coke on the way. Please be active LO!
I'm not sure about being a mom of two. DS will be almost 7 - so an only and this is gonna rock his world. And our little family of three that feels so right is going to change drastically which scares the crap out of me.
Re: Odd confessions baby or not baby related
I use qtips after blowing my nose. I never can get everything clean feeling enough with only tissue.
I'm in pain and kinda hope this LO comes early.
I only think that for about three seconds and then I start back tracking and saying 'bake baby bake!'
I'm a really big promoter of let the kid cook until it's done. One week late? No problem.
But this past week or so has been so rough.
At my baby shower I got a $20 Target gift card. I used it to buy dog treats and a new Swiffer because ours broke
