Your Pregnancy: Week 37

I'm twenty four years old and this is my first child and I'm sick of people asking me am I ready. Well hell, what other choice do I have but to be ready. she's coming either way. sometimes I just want to tell them all to shut up and stop asking that stupid question.

i am 37 weeks with my second to and my moods are crazy i feel bipolar almost. My 22 month old is the same way with my belly alway wanting to hug and kiss the belly. i keep getting these sharp pains in my pelvis and alot of pressure too. Im ready too, yeah...ready to have my body back.

im twenty yrs old and this is my first baby, im 37wks today and im just so anxious to meet my baby, i been trying for almost a year so its very overwhelming to finally say its close to dday, i like being pregnant and alll, and im sure im gonna miss it but this baby needs to get here so i can hold her love her and enjoy my bundle of joy, but i also wanna get back into old energized and normal self especially for my husband and stepdaughter, i tortured them enough i think.

i'm 33 and now 37 wks. This is my first baby and I'm starting to get nervous about the labor/delivery. I've started to dilate and have some contractions. Since they are happening every few hrs, i was told to just stay home and call when they get closer. I'm a nervous wreck.

i just turned 21 on the 21st of january (YAY!!! lol ) and this is my second baby...my daughter is 27 months old and she never stops grabbing my belly and jumping on it and yelling at it...i get that she is excited but she is making me crazy!!! im just in sooo much pain and sooo uncomfortable all the time and with all these hormones i feel like im going crazy sometimes!!! i was never like this when i was preggers with her...i really want to be done now...i wish they didnt stop me when i went into preterm labor on the 19th of january...my poor hubby keeps saying that he wishes i would just hurry up and pop this kid out...he thinks ive gone bipolar lol!!!

I am 36 years old and this is my first child. He is due March 4th 2010. I listen to other women stories about being pregnant and I feel so lucky that I haven't became sick not once. I am 37 weeks and I have no stretch marks, I feel good. I think The baby is saving the best for last and for that I thank God!

I work retail, or worse really women's specialty retail. Most of our shoppers are between the age of 40 to 85 and EVERY SINGLE ONE wants to know "when's that baby coming?"(whenever it wants to I suppose) " do you know what you're having?" (well the alien space ship visited about the time I conceived... so who knows), "is this your first?:" (first what? job? no.) "are you excited?" (nah... people do this all the time right?) and from all the nurses and/or healthcare field workers "do you know which hospital you're going to?..... "my answer" , "oh.. i work at such and such but that's a nice place"... yeah cuz I'm going to change my mind because you work 'somewhere' in that hospital... insurance be damned!! Ok, sorry. It just feels like I litereally answer the same few questions about 400 times a day because God love these women they aren't thinking about how many new people I come into contact with every day and they all want to know the same thing. Really I wish my maternity leave could be longer so I could stop having to be polite to every person who wants to know everything about my 'baby'.

i cant belive that im almost done this has been a great ride from start to finsh. at 37 weeks almost done brings a tear to my eye hope all things go well

37 weeks and I began nesting, only to have my bp go up and end up in the ER. Doc put me on bed rest. Same thing happened with my first...Bed rest stinks when all you want to do is be productive to help pass the time of the last few weeks :( But I shall make the best of it and improve my skills at reading Dr. Seuss with tying my toung in knots! :D

I'm also 24 with my first coming in about 3 wks and am soo sick of people asking if I'm ready. Since when are they the judge of who is ready based on age or whether itd your first? If they got through it, I'm sure I can too! Then I also get people telling me that I'm going to go over or full term and others are telling me I'm ready to go today. Chill out and let me go when I go! People should just keep their opinions to themselves. One day I, too, will be an experienced mom...maybe then I should go tell them what's going to happen to them!

I'm 24 years old and this is my second child. I feel better than I ever have, and although I cannot wait to hold my son, I don't feel ready to not be pregnant anymore. I have this feeling that there is still so much growing he has to do that delivering him before the next 3 weeks is over will be robbing him of something. I also still want these last three weeks to spend with my 27 month old before she is no longer the only child.

I'm 24 and this is our first child. going into my 38th week, and IM SOOOOO OVER being pregnant. my husband keeps telling me she will come when shes ready, and all i want to do is smack him. he doesnt have to deal with the pregnancy! haha hes done so much for me already and we cant wait to meet our little girl!

37 weeks today, so excited... I just want to hold my baby, my arms actually ache for her. I'm 26, with my 3rd baby, my kids just love rubbing the belly and my daughter espectially is eager to please. My little man just turned 2 so he's not sure what all the hype is about, but he helps me put lotion on my belly and rubs it all the time. My fiance keeps telling me I'm beautiful and such, sometimes i feel like a walking goodyear blimp but it's cute he tries.

Oh boy am I glad its not just me with the moods! They are uncontrollable! I am going into week 38 and I too am getting quite tired of people asking me if I'm ready. OF COURSE I AM. Look at me! I'm about to burst. Use some common sense people. Try a different conversation starter!

Today im 37 weeks. I have went threw this very well a lot of people have said i have done very well! Now its to the point where I dont want to do any thing. I have lower pain an it feels like lighting threw my girl friend! An if nothing helps my boyfriend is out in Texas doing my sisters roof! IM GOING NUTS! An very one is telling me im not going to make it! Wow how that makes me mad! But I just want her healthy an to stay till full term just because its better for her not me! I started her baby book today wow how it makes the mommy in you want to ball! Take it easy ladies, take naps, slow it down because when these babies come there wont be any more of that! Good Luck!

I am 37 weeks and I am so sick of people's comments. I get everything from your huge to wow yesterday you didn't look so tired. Also, at work I get "your still here." Yes, trust me I understand the different comments. Yes, we are ready and fully aware of what we look like.

I'm so excited to see my babies sweet face and hold her little hands.

I am glad I am not the only one who feels the way all of you feel. I am 23yrs old and 36 weeks pregnant. I am tired of people asking if I'm ready, if they can touch my stomach, and its getting hot now and since I am so close to having the baby I refuse to go buy a summer clothes. My doctor told me at 35wks he was 6pounds 2ounces and since this is my second I was told with my first that I would probably have alot of difficulty delivering a baby any bigger then 6 pounds. I am ready for him to come so that I do not have to have a c-section.

I am SOOO excited!!! I can't believe I've made it to full-term. I was so worried the whole time that something would go wrong. I can't wait to meet my little boy! I'm a little nervous because people keep telling me I don't look more than 6 months along, but my doctor says me and baby are measuring just fine and some people just carry small. Guess I'll trust what he says over my grandma and my friend's aunt! LOL

37weeks.... im mpatient but what can i do but to wait for d-day! Hopefully itll come soon

I'm 23 and I'm 37 weeks. And I'm glad I'm not the only one hearing the same stupid questions/comments over and over: "WOW, you're HUGE!!! You weren't that big last week!" "Are you ready?" "Are you excited?" But my new favorites include anything about the physical effects of labor/delivery: "Aren't you scared it's gonna hurt/you're gonna tear/you'll get stretch marks/your vagina will get stretched out/you won't lose the weight?" Wow, genius. I hadn't thought of that. Maybe I shouldn't go through with this if it might hurt or my body won't look 100% the way it did before. I'm about to bring a Little Blessing into the world: why the hell would I care about anything else???

I'm glad I'm not the only one hearing the same questions and comments over and over. I'm constantly getting "wow you're huge", "look how big you are", "are you sure you're not having twins", "you look like you're going to explode/pop"...."are you ready?", "are you excited?", "are you nervous?", "are you scared?" Okay people I am aware that I am huge I don't need to be reminded by everyone and NEVER ask a woman if she is going to have twins, if i was having twins i would tell you...its not funny or cute to say that someone looks like they could be having twins or are they sure it's not twins...And of course I'm nervous, excited and a little scared this is my first child what do you think!! I'm having HORRIBLE pelvic pain I can't sleep at night and it is extremely hard to get out of bed. Not to mention that the hot weather is killing me!! I'm ready to have this baby and finally see him/her but it might be kinda weird not being pregnant anymore.

im 23 and expecting my first child. im 37 weeks pregnant and hate getting reminded of how big i am like i dont know already lol. im tired of being pregnant and i want my baby now!!!!!!!

I'm 32 and this is my first child. I think the thing I'm sick of is being told that I shouldn't do things because my friends couldn't when they were pregnant. I understand that it was hard on them, but I'm not them. It just gets frustrating.

I am a 37 week pregnant feminist who, like most, have no issues with nesting. What a strange thing for "The Bump" to write!!!

I'm 24 this is my forth baby at 37 weeks. I am also very ready to have her you would think after the first three times I would know what and when to expect what but all of my pregnancies have been different. All three of my kids are constintaly rubbing my belly and asking how much longer and it is driving me insane. Because they are wanting their lil sister to come and my fiancee wont stop saying she will be here when it is time and I want to kill him and tell him I am glad he can say that he don't have to carry the baby and go through everything we do. But i know that he is trying to keep me sane I am so ready for this to be over. I just wanna scream!!!!!!

Im 25 yrs old and this is my third pregnancy, I am especially excited because this is my first girl. I have a 9 yr old and a 4 yr old so I think I did pretty good at spacing them apart. I am 35 wks today and I feel like I cant take it anymore. It's too hot outside and I am miserable. It's amazin what we have to go through just to spit out something that's gonna give us hell for 18 yrs. Gotta love em though!

Im 27 this is my first baby im 37 weeks and so ready to have this baby. So tired of feeling extremely large.

I am 37 weeks pregnant with my first child and am still working. I feel good, but there are some days I do not want to get out of bed. Then there are some days that I cannot wait to get to work because I feel great. My emotions are a roller coaster and my husband is a saint for putting up with me. I cannot wait to meet my baby girl.

@unborn 24 - you are soooo hilarious! I'm 37wks & I was JUST telling my husband the SAME exact thing y'day. I was soooo fed up with ppl (EVERYONE) asking me if I'm ready that the next person who asks me that dumb question is going to have to take it for the team bc I will totally snap! Am i ready? yeah? really, do i have a choice?

I'm 37 weeks and have been ready for 9 months now. I have been having back pain since before I even gained my 1st pound and now my hips hurt whenever I try to sleep. I am convinced that ill actually get more sleep after he gets here, especially if my husband takes a feeding shift. With my 1st pregnancy I was nauseous from beginning to end. This time the nausea got better in the 2nd trimester but I might trade all of these other pains for that. Oh yeah and reflux, exhaustion and swelling this time too. Ugh!

LOL UNBORN_24 I FEEL THE SAME WAY OF COURSE....!

I'm 18 and I'll be 37 weeks on wednesday. My husband always asks me if somethings wrong and it gets on my nerves. Just cause i have hormones out the ass doesnt mean that its making me mad/sad all the time. I just can't wait for my son to be here.

I am also very ready to have this baby. I am 28yrs (37 weeks) and this is my 1st baby. My hips and pelvis are killing me (feels like I have arthritis sooooooooo bad) Everyone keeps telling me I will go over my due date because it is my first child. Boo to them!!! I think my bones will start to crack if I have to go much longer lol

I am 32 and this is my 3rd. Two girls, Riley 3 and Peyton 2. Don't worry about it. When I was in the hospital with my first the nurse asked if we had taking any parenting classes. We told her "nope, we're just gonna wing it" She looked at us as if we had two heads. Just love it, feed it and take care of it girl. You'll never love something so much as long as you live

I am very tired of all the questions also, I am only sixteen and having my first baby. I think being so young adds a lot onto all the questions being asked.

I'm 35, and this is my first baby and I'm also sick of people saying, You look so ready, or when are you due.

I'm 25 yrs old and 37 weeks today. This will be my 2nd child. I've been taking 2 classes on campus and feeling sleepy the past 3 days, but it has taken my thoughts off the baby, so I'm not so anxious as before. School is keeping my mind busy, and by the time I KNOW IT, I know it will be a big wake up call. lol...

Im 28 and almost 37 weeks prego with twin girls. My first child well children. Im so uncomfortable and ready for them to come out. I have csection set up for Sept 20th so only 10 days to go at the most unless they come sooner. Im nervous and so excited at the same time to finally meet our lil girls

i'm 29 and this is my third baby my oldest is 10 and my youngest is 7 both girls and this new baby a girl im 37 weeks and the contractions are killing me i cant wait to get this over with.I thought she ws coming today but i was only 3 cinimeters so they sent me home.so maybe she will come tonite.

I'm 27 and this is my first child as well. But seriously thru out this pregnancy I have not been more annoyed in my life omg..at work almost everyday someone says oh are you wearing maternity yet? oh are you ready? is the baby growing wtf leave me alone y is that any of your concern if Im wearin maternity? are you mad that Im not I mean I really dont get ppl N plz dont share ure horror stories omg...now that I have less than 3 wks ..the going question is why are u here? meaning at work! umm becuz really what do u say to that ugh..Im sorry Im venting but its so frustrating...I honestly cant wait to be home holding n kissing my lil one for 3 looooooooong months:)

I'm 25, 37 wks and this is my first child. I'm sooooo excited! Its been a long wait and I'm tired of people asking "when is she coming out?" As if it doesn't take 9 months! Congrats ladies!

I am 37 weeks and 1 day .. On Friday I got a letter from my Dr. stating she could no longer be my Dr. she has an issue with my level of Cooperation so my questions is if it's a SUGGESTION and you choice not to take the advice why didn't she just say it was MANDATORY, so now the issue is NO OTHER DOCTOR will see me because I am to far along When I had my first visit with her I let her know this was my 4 child and the other 3 had been induced at 37 weeks do to the size of the baby she kept insisting I go to 39 weeks . It was like every time I tried to explain something about my body she had to assert her right to tell me what to do .. I was scared to change Dr. mid stream but now i wish i would have gone with my gut feeling and left before all this happened

I'm 29 years old, 37 weeks (and 2 days) and I am so ready for this child to be here. My body just hurts (especially from my back down) and I am so emotional. I am trying to move into our new house and work at the same time and I think it's driving me crazy :-) Just can't wait to be back to my normal self again and have the little one here already

I am 31 yrs old and this is my 6th child. I have 4 children from a previous marriage, and this is my 2nd child with my new husband. My oldest kid is 13, and my youngest is 13 months. I am just sooooo tired of being pregnant I can hardly stand it. This pregnancy was a complete surprise, but I cannot wait to meet my sweet baby boy. I know my kids also cant wait for him to get here so they can have their momma back... ive been extremely emotional these last few weeks.... crying over EVERYTHING.

Stop asking me...are u there yet? People need to get a life and leave alone. Cant wait to have my little one.

You're all probably going to hate me...I'm 20 yrs old & 37 weeks pregnant with my first daughter. I never got morning sickness, back pains, or most of the other usual pregnancy symptoms. My feet are a bit swollen but they don't hurt & I do get heartburn quite frequently, but I've always had heartburn so I don't attribute it to the pregnancy. And my emotions have stayed intact fairly well. I feel great actually & if it weren't for my desire to be thin again I would have no problems staying pregnant forever! People are a lot nicer to pregnant women... =] I just can't wait to hold the little one that's been squirming around inside my belly all of this time!

I am 22 years just started my 37th week today. I am beyond ready to bring this her into this world. I was told by a couple doctor's that I would not be able to concieve with out fertile drugs so I had given up at a early age. Then on march 5th 2010 I found out I was being blessed with a miracle baby. I was so happy I cried for days! Long story short I am ready to start my Journey with my daughter. I want to be holding her in my arms feeding her right now not complaining cause my feet kill and my lower back is stiff! I have been truly blessed and I know I have The big Man/Woman above for that!

I love seeing all the posts to this!!! i just began disability leave and so glad i did. As you ladies know, im also tired of hearing, "omgosh, your huge!! or what are you having, whats her name? are you gonna stop working soon?" why would that even matter to you!!! My last day of work i actually heard, you look like a elephant. AND that was coming from a lady that was 2 times the size i was, and i am 37 weeks preggo!! look lady you sure as hell wouldn't say that to me before i got preggo and you have no right now. Just because she was a customer doesnt mean she has a right to comment on something so RUDELY!!!! ugh.

i am 19 years young and i am going on 38 weeks preggers with my second child... yeah i know...i am soo ready for the baby to come but i look at my fifteen month old son and i just cant imagine loving or giving all my attention to any one else but him :( ... will this change?!.. just a bit scared.

This baby has been a perfect dream. I'm 41, 37 weeks along today, and having my first, and only! I can't wait to meet Jack. I'm ready! Even though I've had a wonderful pregnancy I want to be done already. Going to continue to work until he decides to make his debut. I'm hoping that because this has been so easy for me that his birth is not a nightmare. :) That's all I'm concerned about at this point.

28yrs old, and 37wks pregnant with my second daughter. My first daughter is 8 and i'm a lil afraid that she will be a lil too helpful! Impatient and ready to get this over with so i can get back to being my normal self!

i will never get pregnant again i hate this

I am 26 and this is my second pregnancy, I am now 37 weeks and I am really happy with our baby boy Christopher, my baby girl is 15 months old and she os seems to be really happy with baby brother she is very calm and kisses my belly all the time, I am a little nervous with the new baby as my husband works a lot I am concern how is going to be for me to take care of them both, but ready or not here he comes !!!!!! Marcela Mesck

I want people to stop asking if I'm excited. Ummm of course I'm excited! Jeesh!

I hate when people tell me "I bet you can't wait for it to be over!" I just smile and nod... I'm actually really enjoying this moment (despite all the pains, sleeplessness, emotional roller-coaster, etc.) because I can never get this back. Of course I want to meet my baby, but once that happens he is just going to grow up.. and what teenager doesn't hate their parents at least a little??

I am 31 years old and this is my 2nd child, I have a 14 year old son. This pregnancy has been so much harded, but I am so excited!! Its like starting all over again, wow! Plus I get a girl this time :) But I'm having contractions, constant back pain, and so much more that I'd be just fine with my water breaking today!! Have babies early not when your over thirty!

I've decided that the most annoying question is, "Are you excited?" Even if you weren't excited for your baby (which I don't know how you couldn't be) why would you tell someone that?

I am 37 weeks and I have had cramping, contractions, pelvic pressure and feeling like labor is beginning it seems like forever now well at least three weeks now... this is my forth child so maybe my body is preparing early, but I don't know it's all just different with this baby.

I'm almost 38 weeks and I planned to work until my due date-, Dec. 17th don't think I can do it mucb longer. Don't want to wast sick days either. When are you all stopping work?

I am 28 on my fourth and last baby. I am 37 weeks and counting down the days. It hurts to walk and i have trouble sleeping and every once in a while i get really bad back pain. That goes from lower back all the way up to my neck. I can't wait until i have my little girl.

I'm 31, 37 weeks pregnant with my 3rd child, dialated to 2 and having some contractions ;0) My pelvis is killing me and my Dr. says she'll let me deliver if I go into active labor right now. Lucky for me, that I have an awsome OBGYN...if I dont deliver by Christmas, she'll induce me.....HURRY UP LABOR!!!!!!

I'm 40 and this is my first child and I'm also tired of people asking me if I'm ready! My favorite response is... "No, not even if I had a hundred years!" Can you ever be truly 100% "ready" for a baby? I don't think so.

I'm 42 and this is my third child. I have no complaints and anxiously await the arrival of our third little boy. Yes, I have "cankles", pelvic pressure, and frequent trips to the bathroom but, at this point, I just want to get him here safely. Perspective is everything!

16 or less days left here and i cant wait!!!!

Wow - so if you're not the nesting type you're missing some kind of 'natural' gene then? Way to spoil what should be the nicest email notification that you get during pregnancy!

Okay, looks like I'm the oldest of the group - 41! Yep. I have a daughter in High School and an 11-year-old. We are happy about our "suprise" but this has been by far the most difficult pregnancy. I've never been so uncomfortable in my entire life and I just can't wait for this to be over. Scheduled for a C-section next week. Wish me luck ladies. And best wishes to all of you.

I'm thinking yesterday my boy dropped into my pelvis. My belly IS hanging differently, and walking has gone from uncomfortable to down right painful! My lower back is killing me, and my pubic bone! But hey, could this be a good sign?

I CANT WAIT TO BE ABLE TO TIE MY SHOES AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! oR EVEN PUT THEM ON!!! 3 MORE WEEKS!

I am 27 y.o. with my first pregancy. I must be thankful that I've not been sick and I've not missed a day at my very stressful Accounting job but I'm about ready to go now. I am anxious and nervous and tired and drained and........At 37wks 3 days, I am really tired of waiting since I feel like I've been preganant for more than a year having miscarried at three months last year this time. I hope I get my wish of a safe and healthy delivery at 38weeks

I am sooo ready for this baby to just COME OUT! I am 22 and this is DH's and my first baby (a girl). I don't sleep at night (which I should probably get used to) because I can't get comfy and everytime I walk or stand up she feels like she's going to fall out... I'm just in constant pain and/or discomfort all the time. I'm 37 weeks but haven't had any major contractions so I'm worried I'm going to be late... Oh well... It's out of my hands when she arrives!

Im going to be 37 weeks in 2 days. How do you know the difference between your water breaking and peeing yourself?

Amandalokeefe, you need medication. I'm not being mean ... I'm serious. You will most likely suffer from severe postpartum depression, and it sounds as if you're going to take it out on your family. Do yourself and them a favor and seek help now.

Im 28 and 37weeks pregnant with my 3rd child...im more nervous and scared wit this one than I was with my other 2 I guess its a big gap between them and dis one. My other 2 are 10 & 8 so its been awhile since I had a newborn but I know its goin to be ok cuz they are old enough to help me out a little.

I'm 37 weeks today with my second baby girl and I'm 31!! I'm sooo sick of being pregnant ... I want my body back. I'm emotional, depressed, having contractions .. Apparently not regular enough, pelvic sharp pains like no other. Let's not mention getting out of bed in the middle of the night ... Ouch.. It feels as though I've been on a horse for days ! Don't get me wrong I can't wait to see my baby girl but I'm absolutely miserable right now.

I'm so ready I feel like I got a football game going on in my belly

I am 26 years old and I am 37 weeks pregnant now with my first baby. I’ve been feeling all the possible pregnancy symptoms now: swollen ankles, pelvic pain, leucorrhea, mood swings, tender breasts and sleepless nights. But I am very excited to meet my baby girl soon. I am a little bit anxious for delivery but since I’m a nurse I know what to expect already when that day comes. My baby’s nursery is already ready and my husband is very excited now. I’m getting impatient everyday waiting for my baby to come out but I am perfectly ready for it.

I'm 22 years old and expecting my first child with my husband. It has been quite the journey these past 37 weeks. I keep thinking to myself "She's almost here!" and yet I'm still not ready, materialistically wise. All I want, is to see her little face and to hold her in my arms. This Thursday is my last day of work, and from then on out I'll be spending the remaining time (however long that may be) resting and nesting. I'm thrilled in knowing this pregnancy is almost over, I'll only be missing a few aspects of it. Good luck to all you ladies! :)

I am 37 weeks today and my belly and pelvic area hurt badly but she hasn't even dropped yet so I would like a tip on how to get her ready for birth. This is my second baby, my son is 16 years old so it feels like my first. I am very excited to do this over again!

i have been lucky i guess ive been sick sence i got pregnat but ive had no mood swings what so ever my babys room is ready finally and if we cant get ppl to stop blowing there horns when they go by our houuse and they wake up my baby im going to have to put a stop to it some way or another any ideas??

I just turned 37 weeks, and i have not dilated or anything yet, but i have been experiencing pelvic pain. When i went to my appointment my doctor told me that the baby head is downward now, and that shes getting ready for labor.....

My poor husband and 5yr old son is all I can say!!! they are getting every bit of my axiety/nesting/mood swings. I wish I could give them a break but we're down to 2wks till the C-section no time to slow down now!

Unborn 24, I totally agree and I hear it gets worse once the baby is here with all of the advice that everyone will give you! It's even worse when these people dont have children of their own! Just smile and say thanks :)

I'm 24 and 37 weeks with baby number three. i'm so happy and excited. i have two boys and this one is our little girl :) this pregnancy and been a lot more unconfortable but well worth it.

Im 37 weeks, and just got done with work a few days ago. customers (I was a waitress) always looked at me strange when I said yes, I'm ready for her, but she can take her time too. I'm all for not being pregnant again, but baby girl will come when she's ready, so there's no use hoping she will be early. I don't know why people don't get that! plus, as a first timer, I'd kind of like to put off the rest of the 'firsts' i have left for a little bit. labor, delivery, and everything that follows. =P

I am 37 weeks ! I can't believe how fast it has gone by! Yes I am ready but I also have just loved being pregnant and I might be a little sad when she is not in there anymore ! Good Luck everyone! Has anyone else been to the DR and been told they are progressing well? I am 90 effaced, 1 CM Dial and station 0 !! wooo hoo

I am 37 weeks today and can't wait to have this little guy, I am so excited and yet very scared (it's my first). I cant wait to be able to get out of bed without rolling on out and to be able to put my shoes on easily.

unborn 24 I'm totally with you. I'm 24 too and people keep asking me that same dumb ass question and also giving really unwanted advice about how hard this is going to be or to enjoy my "me time" now. Why are they trying to stress us out!? I just want to relax and be happy about this!

I am also sick of being asked questions about pregnancy and my baby. I don't know my baby's gender, I am NOT sharing my potential names, and YOU (stranger) haven't the right to know either! :-) HA!

I am 25 and 37 weeks pregnant with our third. Until yesterday I thought I was having another c-section, as all our children have been breech, well baby is head down. I am really nervous to go into labor since I have no idea what to expect. I have had some contractions, and baby is really low. I am not sure what else I can do to prepare...the other children are packed as am I, the bassinet is ready...just have to install car seat. Anxiously waiting.....!

im 37weeks and 2days. im getting even more nerviouse. i started getting really bad pain in my hips and back. and everytime my daughter moves i feel like a popping noise....has any1 experience the same thing. it makes me really nervouse n scared sumtimes. this is my 1st baby so im nervouse and concerned but just playing the waiting game. = /

I love being pregnant but now I am completely ready to have this kid! This is our third and finaly child :) We have two little boys and finally have our little girl <3 for="" some="" reason="" this="" is="" the="" most="" nervous="" i="" have="" ever="" been="" about="" labor="" and="" delivery!="" i="" have="" two="" other="" children,="" why="" am="" i="" so="" nervous="" this="" time???="" it's="" driving="" me="" crazy="" and="" i="" think="" i="" have="" read="" every="" single="" shred="" of="" information="" pertaining="" to="" labor="" and="" delivery...i'm="" driving="" my="" husband="" crazy="" :/="" anyone="" else="" freaking="" out,="" even="" though="" they've="" been="" through="" this="" before?="">

THIS IS MY FIRST PREGNANCY AND I'M IN MY NINTH MONTH AND I'M TIRED OF PPL ASKING NO BABY YET... UMM NO LOOK AT MY STOMACH BEFORE YOU ASK CRAZY QUESTIONS.

to Amandalokeefe... this made me CRACK UP! I feel the same way! Minues the 16 month old since this i my first, but the bad mood 90% of the time and anxiety??!!?!! Oh I'm with ya sister! Bring on baby!

WE have decided on our baby girl names, Mia Kiara. So exited waiting to meet my little angel.

Well girls, I'm 34 and am having my 3rd baby, but here's the kicker...I have two boys ages 14 and 12! Yea, needless to say, I'm freaking out a bit about going back to baby from having teenage boys! But I am sooo ready to have this little girl and enjoy her in ways I was too "brand-new-mommy-ish" to with my first two 14 and 12 years ago!

Hi, I am 26 and pregnant with my 2nd child. My first was born when I was 18. It seems like I have forgotten everything about pregnancy...not to mention that my 8 year old was a breeze. This pregnancy is sooo much different. I am 37 weeks and have dialated 2 cm. I am soo ready to give birth. The uncomfort level is like an 8 right now. At least these sleepless nights are preparing me for the ones to come when my lil one is born....good luck all.

i'm excited and ready to go this is my 4th pregnancy and i so ready to see my baby girl i'm going to some kind of stage where i don't think she moving enough when she is or i think i'm laying on her when on my side and i be like i'm sorry lil baby WOW!!! i'm something else with this baby but i'm thankful every day for this blessing!!! and yes i get that a lot are you ready and this one i'm so tired of is WOW you are so big are you having twins ugh i'm starting to get so irritated by that ugh!!

Ohh yea im also 37 weeks pregnant! lol

i have a 3 year old and a 2 year old they cry so much. what can i do stop the crying in the house?

Seriously, bump? Feminists, take issue with nature?!?!?!? Feminists can be homemakers too. thefeministbreeder.com. Honestly.

this is my 2nd pregnancy .. and I'm sort of nervous but glad that I'm 37 weeks .. my b/g twins are almost 16 months old .. I'm in love with my twins and trying to give them as much cuddle time as I can before #3 gets here .. We feel so blessed .. just hoping #3 stays put til our scheduled delivery day ..

I am 37 weeks 6 days pregnant with baby number 6. I have one girl from a previous marriage, then my husband and I had a boy then twin girls then another little girl and now we are expecting girl #5 ( #6 if you count my step daughter in there)! My husband and I are going through immigration things with him and he's down in Guatemala with my step daughter waiting for a chance to get his VISA. It's hard because he missed our youngest daughter Maria's 1st Christmas and her 1st Birthday and now he's missing Our newest being born. They are going to induce me in 11 days because this one is REALLY big so I am really kinda scared doing this on my own but then again my husband has been gone for 4 1/2 months now and stil has probably another 3-4 to go. The good part is is after this our family can finally be together and not have to worry about being separated again. I think that it really has helped me appreciate the time that I have with my family a little more.

i'm 22 and i swear to god if one more person says "WOAAHHH are there twins in there?!" i'm gonna deck them. i still have 3 weeks and no its just one baby. thanks.

I'm almost 37 weeks with my first baby, and totally planned her. I'm taking the summer off from college to have her and going back in the Fall, have EVERYTHING ready, and for some reason am starting to feel like I can't do this!!!! My husband and I think we're ready, but are you ever REALLY ready? I guess not....especially when you never planned for her to be breech and have a c/s. Ce la vie!

@LC7486 Well I don't blame his wife for being crazy. The baby daddy knocked up another woman!!!

@LC7486 Well I don't blame his wife for being crazy. The baby daddy knocked up another woman!!!

I hate when family members say things like...YOUR HUGE or you look like your ready to POP! I am 37 weeks, what else am I supposed to look like?

I am 37 weeks and 4 days, but who is counting. I am pregnant with twins. Friday I am having a scheduled C section. I am scared even though I have had one before. I guess just parenting jitters.

I am 37 weeks, and am soooo READY!! It's my first child, so I know you usually don't go early. I Feel really good other then being really tired, I dont ever want to do anything, but I force myself too. I am dialated to 1 and my cervix is extrememly thin, or "ripe" according to my midwife. :).. And I definitely am at the point to where I am sick of People saying, "Man, you haven't had that thing yet." ANNOYING!! I am just sick of talking about it, I just want it to happen already. SOON Enough I guess.. Congrats to all..

I'm 37wks n I've been having a lot of pelvic pressure.... this is my 2nd baby (I have a lil girl) and this is going to be my lil boy.... I heard thatlil boys are more painful any tips....

Just hit 37 weeks and super nervous / excited. I didn't even know I was pregnant until 3 months ago so it feels like a short ride for me. Good cuz my husband is the most impatient man I know. I can't imagine if I would have known earlier how much of a pain ( in a cute way ) he would have been. Starting to feel tightness and pains so I guess its getting close. I feel pregnant now guess its making up for the time I was clueless!

I'm 19 years old and I'm 37 weeks 1 day with a girl. I love being pregnant except for the nausea in the first trimester and now the getting up in the middle of the night to pee. Also not being able to find a comfy way to sleep even with a pregnancy pillow. I know I'm gonna miss feeling her acrobats and hiccups and that bond I already feel with her since she's inside me but I'm so ready to meet this beautiful little girl and to finally feel normal again. My husband, not to mention is noticing my changing mood swings and says he don't think he wants me to be pregnant again after this one. Of course that's just him jokin but I know he wishes I wasn't so moody. I've noticed my mood changes to and one minute I could be perfectly fine and the other just burst into tears over nothing. I've had to apologize a few times to my husband for being so snappy and rude towards him. I don't mean to it just happens. Anyway I wish people would stop askin me "is this your first?" and after saying yes they say "god bless you" or saying "you may be excited now but your gonna feel like ripping her head off sometimes" rude huh? Yea just because your baby wasn't planned and you weren't ready for one yet or your baby is a trouble maker does not give you the right to say that. I know I may be young but I can handle it just as good as anyone else and my baby was planned for a reason, it's cause I know I'll do the best I can for my baby and get her whatever she needs and take care of her to the best of my abilities. And even if she is fussy or getting into a stage where she's not so sweet, I'm still gonna wanna give her all my love and not neglect her or wish she would leave me alone because one day she is gonna be all growed up and gone. I just wanna make every second I have with her worth while.

I am 37 weeks today, and like a few of you have said the first baby was no where near this hard. Or maybe I just forgot. But I'm pretty sure I'm crazier, crankier, and everything else this second time. I have been having a hard time staying hydrated. Its so frustrating! I drink all day l, mostly water, and still have been getting dehydrated. I drink approximately 100 oz of water, most of thebtike a little more like 120 oz Plus I will drink some tea or Big Red sometimes on top of all That water. Anyone else have That problem?

I'm 28 years old and this will be our first! I'm 37 weeks today and can't believe where the time has gone! I can't complain because I have had an AWESOME pregnancy and wouldn't trade this entire experience for anything! I'm not going to lie; I am having some anxieties about the delivery/labor part! My husband and I are SO looking forward to finally being able to hold our little guy in our arms! Just finishing things up for work and then will be off for the next 3.5 months...wishing you all the best of luck!

Im 19 and this is my second child and i have been in labor for two weeks now.... the contractions are only slowly changing... does any one know something to help me sleep? my first child i had a c-section so this labor thing is new to me. but i am ready to see my baby face and feel relief..

i am soooooo tired of being pregnant! the heat is KILLING me, and being only 5'3 and 110 lbs prepreg i am starting to feel that if this baby gets any bigger my body will just explode.. i can't sit up straight anymore because i have feet in my rib cage all day!! i am about 3 cm and 75% but i dont think i've had any contractions, i just hope she comes soon. i too am getting tired of random strangers offering up their opinions on how i look or when the baby will come. my fiance says that i shouldn't get upset because its a nice thing for people to converse with each other over a happy thing like a baby but i'm still getting tired of it anyway =(

Im 28 and this is my 5th pregnancy. Unlike the other 4, I am gladly waiting until it is time for this child to come out. I am trying to get sleep in where I am able to and staying as hydrated as I can in this warm weather. The farthest I have ever gotten has been 38 weeks, and that was with my first two. I am hoping to make it to 39 weeks which will be the time of my scheduled section and also my next birthday! Wish me luck! All the best to the rest of you for a happy and healthy delivery!

"Feminists, take your issue up with nature, not with us." Um, so feminists won't bake, clean, or do craftwork? That's news to me!

I don't even want to leave the house anymore. This is my second one and i am counting the seconds. I want my body back NOW!!! I am 33 and am sleeping on average about 3 hours a night cuz i'm sooo uncomfortable. I am very happy to be having a girl this time and everything is great, but i don't remember being THIS uncomfortable. :)

FTM and 37 weeks pregnant. Doctor visit today showed no signs of dialations. Mucus plug came out this past Sunday 6/26. Any out there in my shoes?

i am 33 with my second first girl and she is a big baby and I am measuring 40 weeks but I am only 37 so tired and ready to hold my baby girl and so is my 8 yo he is like mom when is my sister coming and all i can say is soon

I have been having sort of depressing thoughts I guess... I have been so excited this entire pregnancy to be a mom. And I have wanted to be a mom for a few years now (I am 27). Now that it is so close, I am scared. I get worried about my marriage suffering. I am bummed that I wont have a life for a while. This is normal right? Again, I am happy and have been happy, I am just afraid of the change.

I'm 28 having my first baby. My husband and I have only been married for almost 2 years, but we have been together (non-stop) since we were 16. We are both so excited to meet our daughter. I am almost 38 weeks and went to the doc on Wed and found out I'm dilated to a 2 and 50% effaced. Thought my water broke yesterday but went to the hospital and was sent home. Today I feel horrible! I have been having really bad cramps all day long, and they're getting worse. I guess they're contractions but i'm not sure. How the heck do you know for sure?! All the info I find is still really vague. I can't tell if I'm having contractions or just bad cramps, and I really don't want to go back to the hospital and be sent home again. I guess I'm just going to wait it out tonight and see how I feel. I guess if it gets to where I can't stand it, I will just break down and go. Anyone else as confused about labor as I am?

I'm 37 weeks, in pain, and totally ready to have my little boy in my arms. I love everytime my daughter hugs and kisses my belly. I think it's the cutetest thing in the world. I was disappointed after yesterday's prenatal that there seemed no end in sight but I try to remember I have at the most 3 weeks left. It's hard and nobody understands but try and be positive ladies. Our lives will change once the baby is born and we will have fewer individual moments with our other kids.

This is my second baby. With my first and this one i get the question " are you sure you arent having twins" I love being prego minus the diabeties but this question is really driving me nutts. I am having a boy again and all belly so i am very out there. i want so bad to say well now that you mention it mabey all my sonograms and doctors are wrong and you are right. but i have to be nice. Just hate all the WOW you are HUGE comments

I'm 37 wks with my first. If one more person asks if I'm having twins I may just punch them in the face. Yesterday a man at my husbands gold club asked when are you due, do you what you're having and yes, are you having twins. Shocked I told him that is the worst thing anyone could say to a woman beside are you pregnant to a woman who is not. Needless to say, he was very embarrassed ans i bet wont do that again. Anther day a woman stopped me in a parking lot while she was driving by to question me. Wow you look uncomfortable. Really? And a dumb man came up behind me and asked if he should boil some water. Hah so funny. What the hell is wrong with people?

Hi :) I am almost 35 years old (I will be 35 on 09/13) and this is my second child. I had my first when 28 and unplanned, this time I really wanted one more baby and I planned. This time I feel wonderful, very relaxed, happy and ready! I used to be so sick with my son (my first child), I vomited a few times per day until he was out of me... I was stressed then and not quite ready! this time I feel so happy that I can enjoy the pregnancy! it is hard, because it is summer and very hot somedays and I do have pelvic pressure, swelling/edema and can barely move around, but otherwise I can eat anything and I don't get nauseated! that is such a blessing! and I try to be as active as I can! I go in the forest on easy trails, enjoy nature a lot! as much as I can! regarding the birth I am a little bit apprehensive, it is never a pleasurable experience except when you see the baby and hold him in your arms :) I will have a scheduled cesarean and I am certainly not looking forward towards the surgery and the pain that comes after. But otherwise I really feel great!

I'm 37 weeks & I understand how some of the ladies feel, I HATE hearing people say "you look so ready". Uh, yeah. Carrying around something the "size of a watermelon" is not fun, not to mention the random contractions, & my daughter never stops kicking, but I am excited none the less. This is my first child & I'm 37 weeks & 25 years old. Hopefully I go into labor next week!

Older women come up to me and start with "Can I ask you a stupid question?" and I say "sure why not" and they ask me for my due date or tell me to go home and get ready to pop. Doesn't help I'm 24 with braces and look like I'm 12, I'm SO ready for this little guy to come out.

Unborn 24: i totally feel you on that one. i am aso 24 and this is my first as well. On top of the list of dumb things ppl say to me are: " you look tired." and "Just hang in there its almost over" its getting harder to hold back my urge to slap someone!

I am 29 and 37 weeks with my second child. I feel like such a freak show at work. People that don't usually talk to me are asking me if I am I ready and how I look like I'm ready to pop. How I am all belly and how I look. It is driving me insane. I don't know how much more I can take. I spend my time daydreaming of ways to induce my labor. lol. I know he will come when he is ready, but......I'm getting anxious

I'm 17 years old and these past 37 weeks have been amazing or strait hell. I did not have morning sickness till 6 monthes in andave

I'm 18, at 37 weeks with my first child and am so tired of all the dumb questions as well. I'm scheduled for induction in 13 days and I'm scared and nervous cause I don't know what to expect. We live 82 miles from the hospital! Though part of me thinks why the Hell am I so scared of having him when there's a bigger obstical ahead? My boyfriend is out in the oil fields all day working and he's in the national guard due to be deployed in may... :( looking at him and all he does I think what should I be scared of when he's there for me. Except that year that he's away. New mom jitters I guess

Wow I feel very lucky to not be in as bad shape as most of these comments from other people sound. It's refreshing to hear from other people that they are also enjoying being pregnant. While I do crave to have my body back, I am happy and excited more often than not. I am 37 weeks pregnant today. I just recently developed carpel tunnel in my hands, but it only bothers me at night. My tail bone starts to also hurt towards the end of the day. I am very excited though to know I am creating a life. This is my 1st pregnancy. I am 30yrs old.

man i am so ready for this baby to come out. he feels huge and when he moves around i feel so much pressure down there. like my bladder will pop and i am tired of it lol.

I am 27 and despite some huge housing-drama that has left us crashing on a friend's homestead for the last few weeks of this pregnancy I feel great. Gestational Diabetes has prompted me to cut all sugars and refined foods (which we didn't really eat anyway) from my diet and I can feel my body thank me for it EVERY day. My 3 year old is so loving, always kissing, patting and (occasionally) biting my belly. The food, people and atmosphere here on the farm is so nourishing. We are mere weeks from demonstrating that a home birth doesn't always need to take place in *your own* home! Welcome, welcome Baby whenever you arrive!

Why does everyone look at their pregnancy as a negative experience? My husband says that I have been way too nice for 9 months! I usually don't read these blogs because people really can't appreciate what a blessing this whole experience is. I can't wait to hold my little girl and know that every ache and pain I may have had is so worth it, especially with the struggle we had to get pregnant.

It may be harder than ever to get comfortable enough to sleep well at night. If you can, take it easy through the day this may be your last chance to do so for quite a while. -Jonathan Berkowitz

I am 37 weeks & 3 days and 27 years old. This is my 1st child and Im super excited. Just lately, I've been having high blood pressure when my OB's assitant checks it and I went to the hospital 3 times already because of it, yet at the hospital my blood pressure is normal when they monitored me every 15-30 minutes. On the 3rd visit to the hospital, the Doctor there stated I have gestational hypertension. My OB says that I'm "toxic" and mentions toxemia. At the 2nd visit to the hospital the Doctor mentioned that I'm at risk for pre-eclampsia, yet yesterday I had went to the hospital for a Sonogram and the Doctor says that my baby is fine and weighs 6 lbs and 9 oz! So, if the hospital doctors are telling me that I'm ok and my OB (who isn't affiliated with the hospital) says Im "toxic", what gives? All these mixed messages are annoying.

I'm 37 weeks today, I am so ready to hav tis bby I look n feel lik I'm having twins what would happen if I go n now? Would my bby be ok? I had my bbyshower yesterday now I'm waiting on my lol man to mal it n this world I'm ready to get it over with na who wit me........LOL

I'm almost 38 weeks, 34 years old and this is my first child. I have had a great prgnancy, love being pregnant. It just recently got harder with swollen feet if I don't watch it and carpal tunnel in both wrists. Sleeping on my side is the worst, I was a tummy sleeper and I can't wait to get back to it. I want to have a natural delivery, no meds, no machines if possible. I can't wait to breast feed my little boy. Meeting him is the most exciting thing to think about. My moods have not changed through the pregnancy and I just stopped work last week. I've been swimming during the pregnancy about half a mile 3 to 4 times per week. I believe its helped a lot. I highly recommend the book: the womanly art of brest feeding.

Hi mommies! I just wanted to share a really cool email I got from destination maternity. If you go on sevenslings.com you can get a free baby sling, just have to pay for tax and shipping. Enter DESTINATION in the promo box at checkout to only have to pay for tax and shipping. I got a $39 sling for $11.95. Hope everyone has a great weekend! :)

I am 28 and 37 weeks with my first baby, My best advise is if you call the hosbital for a possibke problem and they say "come on in and get checked out" Pack a PB&J. I swelled up and they had me come in, I was admitted arround 8pm {didnt eat supper yet because I wasnt fealing good} they didnt discharge me till 9:30 the next day with no food, only a 32 oz cup of ice water. I was allowed to eat but not allowed off the bed because they were monitoring me and the baby.... Mcdonalds never taisted so good!

I'm 26 yrs old and this is my first baby and I have to say this pregnancy has been a breeze. Not bragging, just thankful. I have 10 nieces and nephews and I've heard some horror stories. I'm actually sad to be almost finished with this pregnancy because I know I'll probably never be this lucky again. But i'm so ready to see my little guy!

I'm 21 years old and this is my second pregnancy. My husband and I have been together since we were 16 and are completely in love (yes I know this sounds cheesy.) Anyhow, I can't stand how people think because we're so young we owe them some type of explanation for having another child. The first was admittedly an oops, however this one wasn't. I'm so ready to not be pregnant anymore and meet my little one. I'm tired of all the sideways glances, and the ridiculously personal questions people seem to think they can ask a pregnant woman. SO glad to be "full-term" !!!!

You all are ridiculous. They ask because they care, they are curious, or they are trying to make conversation. They are not trying to make you upset. Quit whining! There are people starving, homeless, and alone and all you can complain about is that people are asking annoying questions?! Grow up people.

I'm 24 years old and this is my first! I have had a great pregnancy but HATE being preggy! I am tired and don't feel myself! I am 37 weeks pregnant and ready to meet my lil' girl! But, I am so scared and worried about the unknown that I am about to face!

I am 32 years old and expecting my first baby. I am 37 weeks pregnant and getting very anxious and a bit nervous. I am also at a point where i just want the baby out. I know i have a good support system, so i am praying for the best.

I am 22 years old, wait Am I? I was born 1989 and my birthday is April 18th, haha yes, I am 22. Kinda brain farted there, I am 22 years old and having my second child, A girl this time. I have been having crazy cramps lately, but not real labor yet :) so excited, so is my husband, I am tired of people asking if I am ready or saying when you due? WOW YOUR HUGE! I just want to be like, "SO ARE YOU!"

I'm 37 weeks and having natural birth,its my first baby and feels so mentally unprepared for thhe birth,I'm so scared as I don't know what to expect!!and not sure what the pain is going to be like and if I will be able to handle it.

I'm 31 years old and this is me and my husbands fourth daughter i really wanted a boy this time but as long as shes healthy thats all that matters today i am 37 weeks but i feel like im 40 weeks i have been in so much pain these last couple of days my hips and back hurt so much not to mention all the pressure i have been sleeping with a heating pad every night for he past two days. I'm so ready to have her i wish it was today.

I've been reading these comments and cracking up because they're so true! People cannot help but talk to me about how pregnant I am (I'm have twin girls) and how great I've done. They congratulate me like it was something I had much control over and they seem to think I know just when the babies are coming:) And while I appreciate everybody's concern/interest...I can't count how many people I barely know who want me to send them pictures of the babies the minute I have them. Do they really feel that much closer to me than I do to them?

Be thankful for your ability to be pregnant. I am an adoptive mommy to a beautiful 2.5 year old little girl and all of us (my hubby and daughter) are celebrating each day of this pregnancy as it comes with all of its aches, pains, questions and amazement. It took us five years and many fertility treatments to get to this point. Stop complaining and enjoy the wonder of growing a human life inside you. It truly is amazing and only gets better when the baby arrives.

I don't understand why some people have to spoil such an excititng time. I brought our 4D ultra-sound pictures in to work the other day. Most people we excited to see how detailed the picuture was, but some thought it was okay to tell me that my son looked 'Freaky'. One woman said 'I'd be ticked if they gave me those pictures b/c now there's no surpise. We know what he looks like now.' I wish I was more assertive and would've said 'Who the $%&* asked you?' I guess I'm a little hormonal:)

I must say, you women are lucky to have a man that got you pregnant to begin with. Do you always whine this much? I am 37 weeks, pregnant with my 4th. I have a 4, 2 and 1 year old, so lots of fun all the time. I LOVE my kids and when they bounce on my belly or giggle or kiss it, it makes me smile. Yeah it hurts, but it is so worth it. I work 2 jobs, one as afulltime floor nurse caring for patients 12-14hours at a time. The other as a nursing instructor, working a 6 hour clinical training new nurses and then grading papers too. I spend every moment I can with my kids doing fun stuff, trips to the park, going to open gym for kids gymnastics, coloring, painting or reading books. And when I put them to bed at night, I hit the books completing my homework for my masters degree. Pregnancy is a part of life, it does not have to rule your life. I enjoy every kick, I waddle at work, and yes people rub my belly and ask when I am going to pop and I simply reply whenever God grants me this surprise. So my suggestions to all those whining moms, suck it up, enjoy your pregnancy while you can and yes, labor hurts, but the end result is WORTH IT! This pregnancy has been one of many complications, so I just pray that both of us survive, which to be honest will only be by the grace of God. It's never a good thing when the OB asks if I have an advance directive and if forced to choose, should he save me or the baby...

I am 26 yeras old pregnant with my 4th child and 37 weeks pregnant. I have had enough and I am so ready for my last lil boy to be here. He will be my 3rd boy and I have one little girl. My kids are 4years old, 2 years 10 months, and 15 months old. Mikey,Ellasandra,Ryder and soon to welcome Grayer. I just wanted to let you ladies out their ready to have their 2ond, child or 3rd or 4th like me that you can do it. If I can do it you can. Haning kids close in age can be tough but it's rewarding and they will have a blast growing up.

37 weeks already! How exciting! This is my first child experience and I can't believe the end is so near. I'm still praying that the end will go smoothly. I keep telling my self not to panic, just breath in and out...you are going to be fine.

Im pregnant with my 5th, and everything was okay up til about now. Its my second boy. And im having natural no pain meds or epuderial. Thats how my last two delieveries are and im okay with that. (unless medically needed) But all this aniexty rushed over me the last few days whe ni found out i was dilated to 4cm. My younger girls are still my babies 2yr n 3 yr and i dont think either of them are ready for a newborn. I feel guilty bringing another baby into our home because of them. But my husband and i prayed and prayed for this boy and God finally allowed us to have him. My son is completely excited (he is 8) and my 5 yr old could care less. I feel like i wont be able to juggle all 5 even though i do a good job with four. I feel like it was selfish of me and my husband to have another child. But i love this lil boy to death!!! I hope i make some sense :/

I know exactly what unborn 24 is talking about. People are always asking if I'm ready, whether I'm going back to work, how I'm feeling...

Wow, what a bunch of whiny witches. Getting mad because people ask questions??? If nobody paid any attention to your condition, you'd be mad about that. You should all just be thankful that you've made it this far and didn't miscarry. I'm 37 weeks today and although I'm really ready to get this over with, I could care less what kind of questions people ask. They're just trying to be nice.
