Anyone else actually feel pretty good?

post #1 of 8
Thread Starter 
I'm due tomorrow (yay!) and was feeling just awful from about 36 weeks on (horrible back pain, nausea, fatigue, etc). Yesterday and today though, I actually feel great. Almost like I'm not even pregnant. It's freaking me out! I feel like I need to feel bad as a sign this baby is coming out sometime soon. Anyone else actually feeling pretty good?

Yep, that's me.

I also am slightly confused by it. With both my others, I hit rock bottom at week 37-38, in fact both times left my OB appt crying that I wasn't in labor yet, and went into labor very soon after (delivered both times in my 38th week). So I've been waiting for that "rock bottom" feeling again. I've felt pretty crummy, and very "done", but I haven't disolved into tears yet about still being pregnant! So to feel good now seems like backwards progress! My due date is Friday, I've always met my due date with at least a week and a half old baby in my arms!

I'd like to think that my body is giving me a break to rest a bit before labor, and that it WILL be coming soon! Maybe feeling good suddenly is just as much a sign of impending labor as feeling horrible!

Honestly, I feel great. I have the usual end-of-pregnancy issues/pains (of course!), but overall I feel really great.

Me too 5 days till due date and doing well. Had a full day of work yesterday which went just fine but I was tired by evening and I'm glad to have a day at home today. Cooking meals for the freezer!

Physically, I feel fine. But I am just so cranky and irritable and over it! And tired from the insomnia. Due date is in two days.

I've been feeling pretty good, too. Actually I was feeling REALLY bad weeks 28-ish to 36/7 weeks, like hardly sleeping at ALL etc., and now I feel energized and productive and just WOW am I really pregnant ????????????? haha NO sign of impending labor. I have to "check in" with baby every now and ten to make sure she's still active cause I seriously forget I'm pregnant lol

Yes, I'm feeling good, too! I've had a overall "feel good" pregnancy this time around and feel very, very blessed.

I did have a couple of good cries last week. I think because I was so expecting him to be here last week. And also realizing that I could already have my baby if I wanted to (via section, ack!!!!!) but I am so glad I didn't do that! I know if I hang on a little longer, it will be well worth the wait.

This is me! I know I should feel blessed that I've had an easy, textbook pregnancy but right now I JUST WANT MY BABY! I'll be thankful later.
