*babies come in their own time*

[bugnbean]

My new daily mantra. Only 38 weeks but feeling so anxious...particularly after days and days of prodromal labour. I have to keep reminding myself that babies come on their own time. I know that baby will be here when he/she is darn good and ready but I can't help but analyze every little twinge and contraction and wonder of "this is it". I always forget how hard these last few weeks are and how much patience they take.

they certainly do I've decided not to dwell on my "EDD" and just plan to be pregnant til May 20 haha. I am so jealous of all these babies born in the past couple days, I can't wait!

I woke up this morning nearly in tears because my body hurt so badly and I had to remind myself that 36 weeks isn't "done". Sigh. I'll wait on this couch with you.

I know exactly how you feel, I'm now 38wks and 3 days but whose counting. : I went to my dr. apt today hoping she'd go ahead and check me and tell me I was already dialated or something. But nope, that's next week. I feel like I need to hurry up and have this baby, my mom is going out of town next weekend and my dh won't have a chance to take time off here before too much longer. I too have to remind myself that she will come when she's darn good and ready and to stop thinking every pain I get means "This is it!" Hang in there mommas, we're almost done.

Good reminder thanks. I'm 39w and one day, everyone said "oh, you'll never make it to May or your due date". I think this babe is going to prove them all wrong. But, DD are heading out to take a nice morning stroll. The contractions I was having last night felt very different from the BH I had so far, so maybe the time is coming soon.
