2+ months to go! Eeeek!

Beckyboo71 · November 2014

I can't believe how time flies! Now that it is November, it is really hitting me that this LO will be here in just over 2 months! This is my second, but it's been a while since I've had a baby to take care of, and I'm getting nervous....especially about breastfeeding. Unfortunately, I tried with DD, but it didn't work out. I'm excited, but a little scared at the same time. Anyone else starting to feel anxious?

AlfiesMOM · November 2014

I feel the same way. I tried so hard with DD to breastfeed and it didn't work. I ended up pumping for 10 weeks but it was very stressful. I feel more prepared this time but I am nervous!

::raises hand::

I have more like 1 month and a week, if I make it. 39 days, to be exact, until I'm induced. I'm anxious. I'm oddly comfortable regarding the newborn part (besides breastfeeding- that has me anxious. But there's a BF'ing class at the hospital here tomorrow that they're allowing me to attend, so I'm hoping that helps ease me more). Every so often I think to myself "whoa, I'll be in charge of a life soon.." but for the most part, I'm just anxious about labor/delivery right now. Some days it doesn't freak me out and I don't even really think of it; other days I'm all "I can't do this! I change my mind!!!" and I get super tense and nervous.

Even though I'm getting nervous, I'm still ready to be done and can't wait

I can't believe how close it is for everyone. So exciting! I can't wait to "meet" and see all these little ones.

I'm just ready. Yesterday was the first day I actually felt like my stomach was achy, heavy, and crampy and I wanted to be done. It was weird. I'm also ready to see my daughters reaction to this new life. I think she's gonna be a really awesome big sis and she will love the company!

Even though mine will likely be a January 20 baby, so later in the month, I'm still excited that 2 months from now will be the month that baby is born. I'm excited and ready to fast forward time a bit.

Maebb · November 2014

Someone at a party on Friday asked if I was ready, I said pretty much yeah, and DH looked shocked and was like, "Really?"

We still have a lot to do (transition DS to a different room and bed, DH has to build some doors for the rooms, rewash the baby clothes and bedding, buy diapers), but I'm looking forward to being able to snuggle a newborn. Labor was easy for me last time, and BF was not, so we'll see how that goes. I'm not feeling anxious about it right now - trying to go with the flow.

Sometimes I feel very ready, and other times not at all. I'm not due until Jan 31 so I have a bit more time to get settled.

Breastfeeding isn't an option for me, but I remember the stress of trying to nurse Zig. I understand your anxieties ladies. But if, for whatever reasons, it doesn't work out - it's okay. It's not a failure on your part. You're not a bad mum. You need to do what is best for you and baby - and that's not always breastfeeding.

Great post! I did get a little depressed when breastfeeding didn't work out with DD, and The Bump was my savior. Everyone was so supportive and said exactly what you did. And that advice is the best you can give....my DD is a perfectly healthy, happy, and very smart formula-fed girl!

I have been feeling really uncomfortable the last day or so - it seems to ebb and flow with growth spurts, so I hope it will feel better again in a day or so, but mostly just uncomfortable and starting to think 9-10 weeks seems like a long time rather away still if I am this uncomfortable now! I think that's pushing me to feel more ready.

I'm so happy I'm not alone in BF'ing struggles. With DS1, I didn't even try. DS2 didn't latch and I pumped for 3 months, with 3 weeks total in the hospital from mastitis. I had a temp over 104 that wouldn't go down with chills and sweats. What a nightmare. I was able to bring him with me, but DS1 was only 1 and passed around between family members. I saw countless LC's to no avail. With DD1, I pumped for about 5 weeks (could only afford an AWFUL hand pump) and gave up. I would be so happy if this little lady latched, but I know it wouldn't be the end of the world if she doesn't!

I am getting very nervous about being this close to the end. I worry about my BP rising. (Pre-eclampsia with #1, Ecclampsia with #2 and induced for borderline BP with #3). I would love to experience going into labor naturally, also and hope that happens this time.

snowbaby1214 · November 2014

Also, it's starting to feel really uncomfortable when she rolls around in there. I completely forgot how much the end sucks. How much bigger could I get in 8 weeks?!?!?!?

ghostof5letters · November 2014

I'm so excited for you guys!

robsbabygirl08 · November 2014

I'm more nervous/anxious than I thought I would be. I keep thinking to myself "why did I decide to do this again". Ha ha. I'm so afraid of screwing up my kids lives.

The fact that you are afraid shows that you're a good mama and doing the best you can!

(unless you're hitting your crack pipe right now)

Edvent · November 2014

I'm excited we're getting closer to the end but am feeling a little anxious as well. Mostly due to similar breast feeding anxiety others have mentioned and worries about pre-e cropping up at the end like last time. I am super ready for LO to be here, and to not be pregnant any more, but the end makes me a little nervous! At least we have lots going on between now and then to keep me distracted!

sanbry · November 2014

I also wasn't able to nurse my first for longer than a month for several reasons. I was very depressed about it too. This time around I'm really hoping I can make it work, I'm taking 2 classes this month and going to la Leche league as well. I think that's what I'm the most anxious about(besides the RCS I'll be having). It's weird to think I'll have two kids in just over 2 months!

peggels24 · November 2014

Less than 3 months here (due 1/22) and getting pretty nervous. We have a bunch to do still and this weekend both DH and I have been laid up with different ailments so we didn't get anything done really.

4littlebears · November 2014

I'm excited, and less nervous now that my mom and I went over a plan for her coming to stay with us. DH is going to have to be out of town for a week a little after baby's here so I'm so glad she'll be here to take my kids to school while he's away!

My anxiety is more related to being able to control this GD. It's really frightening me right now because I've been feeling pretty crappy lately. I just want to make it to 39 weeks. I'm actually looking forward to a couple days in the hospital. It's quieter there than at home, lol.

I'm sorry to read about all of your anxieties. We all have them I guess. It's just good we live in a part of the world where we can have good resources.

Mrs_Bennett · November 2014

Yup, I'm due in December, so it's just hitting me that I'll most likely be having this baby NEXT MONTH!! Ahh, I can't quite decide if I'm ready or not. Physically, I'm feeling really uncomfortable, and I want to be finished. On the other hand, this is probably my last pregnancy, so I am trying to treasure these last few weeks of having a LO inside. We've got almost everything in the house ready for another baby, but I'd like to do a bit more organizing and prep. As far as actually feeling 100% ready to make this a family of five......will we ever be completely ready for that?!

sfgiantsgamerbabe · November 2014

Let me get passed my baby shower then I will freak out lol

moonfaerie · November 2014

Not too anxious here, just wanting to get him out! Also want to share that I was unsuccessful at BFing DD1, and my supply disappeared by 11 weeks, and I was able to successfully BF DD2 until 10 months when I quit on my own terms. And I BFed DD3 until just over two years! So, there is hope for a successful BFing relationship, even if it didn't work out the first time. Good luck!!!
