I reached 37 weeks, because I did NOT want to jinx myself and have the baby come before then, and now, my 37 weeks are up. I'm ready (relatively). I'm ready to have this baby in my arms instead of in my body. I'm tired of the heartburn, and of being kicked in the ribs and spine, and all the other things we whine about. I was having a lot of BH yesterday, and was hopeful that something would start last night. Today, the BH have let up, and I'm whining at DH about how I want to go into labor. Obviously, baby boy's not ready yet, so I wait. Sigh. Honestly, I don't feel THAT bad physically, and I know I'm doing better than some people at this point (heck, I did a 5k last weekend), so I feel a little bad for complaining. I'm certainly not as miserable as I thought I would be. But still. WAH. I want to see my son, and to sleep well again, at least while he's sleeping!

HUGS mama!!! I think that the majority of us pregnant mama's feel the same way. Hang in there!!!

I feel you! Today is definitely one of my most uncomfortable days of this pregnancy. And am ridiculously anxious.

[shanirah]

I'm so irritated that I'm pregnant right now. The doctor said I should have her this weekend, I knew I shouldn't get my hope up but I really wish he had been right (and yes, I know that the weekend is only half done, but still).

Something about week 36 and 37 for me was SO HARD. Every pain I thought meant she was coming and it was let down after let down. Hang in there! We're all going through it with you!

I feel the same way! Hugs!

I am 37 weeks and I am so done!! I am tired, sorry, and weak.. I just want to have her, but I also wanted to wait til after Easter to have her as I wanted to enjoy one last day/holiday with Sierra and Micaela... So tonight she can come, or any day after that.. My next appt is on Tuesday, which will be my 38 week appt. Now to just get through today, and the travels.. Ugh..

I am 37 weeks and I feel so rough and tired. My induction date is 9 days away... and I want to make it so I can be with my doctor, who is out of town this week but honestly I am soooo done. I want to sleep on my stomach, be able to get up without a ton of effort, be able to sleep more than an hour without having to get up and pee, to be able to hug my son without holding him back from putting too much pressure on my stomach, to roll around on the floor and play with my son...... I feel you.. I am soo done.

hugs!! I feel ya!! The last few weeks have been hard on me as well, I have been having a lot of pressure and BH contractions that are coming stronger and more often, I have a scheduled c-section 10 days away... but I was SURE I was going to go into labour this time on my own, and early and it has been a little of a let down when what my body is doing (things I have never experienced in other pregnancies) don't seem to equal to anything anyways. I am happy she has stayed in so far just because I KNOW it would mess up my families schedules so badly.

That is one awesome accomplishment right there!

I'm ready to be done too, so I feel your pain, but man, that is great if you can do a 5k while this pregnant.

Part of me would love for him to show up RIGHT NOW, and part of me wants him to wait til closer to my due date, like the day before.. or day of kinda thing so my mom can be here for the birth. lol But I am just getting so anxious!!!! This has been a LONG time coming for DH and I and we are both just really excited to meet him. If my hips didn't hurt so bad I'd be fine honestly.. that's my biggest discomfort.

Yeah, and I've been having the occasional contraction, which gets my hopes up, then nothing! Yesterday, we had great sex, multiple Os, then went for a decent walk, and NOTHING. Several hours later, I had a handful of mild contractions. Now I need to wait again, because I don't want him coming on our anniversary tomorrow. Thursday would be good... Stepdaughter is out of the house this week for spring break, and since we're doing a home birth and I don't want her in the house at the time, this would be a really easy time for him to come, as far as the logistics of caring for stepdaughter are concerned.
