Is your pregnancy flying by?:

ashes0601 · August 2015

does anyone else feel like their pregnancy is just flying by??? I remember finding out March 7 and I was only 4 weeks! And now it's August 7! Holy cow - 13 weeks left for this mama. Anybody else feel this way? Anyone's pregnancy taking forever?

I'm totally jealous of you! I feel like I've been pregnant FOREVER, and 15 weeks still feels like a lifetime away. Meanwhile, I have done next to nothing to prepare, except read every pregnancy book I can get my hands on. Crib? Nope. Car seat? Nope. Birth plan? Nope. I'm hoping the mile long to do list will help the rest of the time fly by.

It has flown by for me too! I'm terrified and excited. But mostly terrified!

So slow i have 15 weeks left and if i think rlly hard about it im like oh yea thats not that bad but it doesnt feel that way!! I have all the stuff for nursery pree much just need matress and bedding which i cant get until after my shower.. So basically everything is just crammed in there till then would help if i had everything ready.. Would probly be an eye opener

Mine has flown by also! This is #3 for me, so I think chasing my 4 and 2 year old boys while trying to prepare for the newest LO has definitely contributed but I'm not gonna lie, I totally freaked out a little when I saw that Bath & Body Works was releasing all their fall scents lol

Some days I feel like it is flying by and other days I feel like I have been pregnant forever! I am one of those that has miserable pregnancies and I have never loved being pregnant.

The fact that there is a possibility I will have to be induced at 37 again for medical reasons doesn't help. To me, there is a huge difference between having 10 weeks left or 13 + weeks left!

Aww I feel like mines is going by so slow I want to have my baby girl in my arms already.

grapesoda1111 · August 2015

ashes0601 · August 2015

Better get started! Haha I find the more I do the more I nest and it keeps me busy! I have 7 off days from work until my shower and it's at my house so I have TONS to do!

2nd trimester YES. 1st trimester of keeping it a secret / being sick / hating life, not so much.

MiMary80 · August 2015

I reminded my husband how many weeks we had left and he asked if we could get an extension. I said I mostly likely wouldn't want that at the end and he said that's why he's trying to get me agree to it now! Haha First trimester dragged, second tri flew by! Hello, third!

ashes0601 · August 2015

Here comes the third trimester of being hot and uncomfortable lol - I'm sure the final weeks will NOT be flying like the rest

lally6168 · August 2015

The first 27 weeks were so easy..no morning sickness, ate whatever I wanted. Time is flying by.

happylife7 · August 2015

Yes! I have definitely asked myself over and over "Where has the time gone??? How are we in August already with only 13 weeks left until our baby girls arrival?!" Our paint for the nursery was bought today and furniture will be ordered next week as soon as it becomes available again! I am ready to nest and just dying to get that nursery done!!

I think it goes by quicker when you're chasing after existing kids. I remember my first pregnancy lasted forever and this one has gone by so fast! Almost 29 weeks here!!

This is definitely the same for me too. Last pregnancy I was a little obsessed with baby's development and measurements etc.
This time I feel like I'm doing well to remember how far along I am. Life just takes over and time flies by

lyankowi · August 2015

I also just started to look pregnant so I feel like yes I can feel baby moving but if I don't want people to know I'm pregnant they don't. Tall and being overweight can hid a lot along with wearing scrubs all day.

Yes. All of this. Too busy to think and worry about every little thing.

For me this pregnancy feels to be dragggggginnnggg. It has by no means been a horrible pregnancy, but there has been some definite challenges ( rough morning sickness, GD +). For me it's just the notion of feeling foreign in my own body. Pre pregnancy I was doing half marathons and at the gym 4 times a week, I've had to cut back as I get winded so easily: something I'm just not used to. That being said I definitely am relieved (and somewhat anxious) to finally be in the third trimester. I'm just ready to feel like 'me' once again, less moody, more active. Either way, as we all know: Tottally worth it all :-)

Extreme kudos and hell yeahs to all of you who are feeling it zoom though! Likewise As some of you said hopefully next time it will go by quicker when I'm trying to keep up with DD.

This exactly! Except I just started my 28th week. I feel like this one has flown by and my first was a never ending experience. I do think it also has to do with the part of the year I got pregnant. The beginning made it feel shorter than my first. When I had my son I got pregnant in the summer of 2013 and didn't have him until spring of 2014. Having it happen in the same year has really made it seem to fly by!

TacoSarah · August 2015

1st trimester took forever to pass, possibly because I had a mc at 6+4 then conceived straight away so did the first 6 weeks twice back to back. But since I got to 20 weeks it's going by so fast. I could actually have a baby in 10 weeks time. HOLY SHIT!!!!!

rachswi · August 2015

Agreed. First trimester draggggged on. 2nd trimester has gone faster while in the midst of it, but then I look back and feel like it's been forever. 14 weeks seems both a long time away and no where near enough time!

I keep going back and forth on this one. On the one hand thinking that in 3 months I'll be a mom seems SO SOON! However, thinking of another 3 months of pregnancy (and 3 more months of this rapidly expanding body) seems like an eternity!

grapesoda1111 · August 2015

I already get very uncomfortable at times and I think "it's only going to get worse..." Ugh..

ColoradoHiker · August 2015

25w here. It went so slow until the nausea disappeared around 17w. Since then, time has just been zooming by!

This is exactly how I feel! Having a baby in my arms in three months time seems a bit crazy to me, especially with the prepping I still need to do. But the idea of being this uncomfortable and becoming increasingly more uncomfortable for 3 more months sounds like forever and a day.

Agreed ladies. I will also add that on top of the uncomfortable things that are starting, I am just SO excited now to meet our little man!! I think that's making the weeks feel longer.

ash413 · August 2015

I have been crazy busy at work since April, so I think that has really helped this pregnancy fly by. I'm not due till the end of November, so I feel like the last month will just drag by. Especially seeing everyone on her having their early November babies.
