to september?

I've felt this way for a while, but it's definately getting stronger.

I think I'll be doing good to get through the next 48 hours!

I don't want a premie - but if she comes she comes!

amen mama!

i don't think she's gonna stick it out til september 8th. my mw and doula and dh all seem to agree. the physical signs are pointing towards earlier rather than later.

as for my thoughts, i have said for months i didn't think we'd make it til the edd. mentally and emotionally i am so ready for this baby to born. just trying to be patient and let it be at this point. breathe in, breathe out.

of course now that i have made these "she's coming early!" proclomations, i will end up going to til 42 weeks or something.

I've been feeling like this baby is going to come early, too! I think my due date should be the first week of Sept, based on charting my cycles, but we'll see. He'll come when he's ready!

I would love to have this baby next week (37 weeks)

:, and I keep joking around about it, but my MW's keep giving me those darn reality checks

. DD was 10 days "late" so now everyone just laughs at me when I say I want this one to come a little sooner

.

 

[myhoneyswife]

Uh, I have NO idea. I was convinced at first that my babe would be super super late and have psyched myself up for a October baby. But then I'm totally preparing to go any time also, I'm a dilated 1.5 and engaged. Hmm. But 42 weeks works also, I don't really care. I'm 'due' September 15th, so I'd prefer to wait til at least August 15th.

My mother would prefer I give her a more definite date. She was asking if she could come out the weekend of September 23rd. I said, sure, but you might still be spending a lot of time with a beached whale. She decided to make plans after babe shows up

I don't know nuttin!

I have that feeling. Course having an eed of the 1st kinda says it could go either way

I do notice that dd doesn't kick like she used to....its cramped movements now and i am thinking her amniotic fluid is getting a little lower in the past week or so. She rests lower alot of the time now and i do waddle quite a bit. Tons of people like to tell me that i am going to go any day now

: but if i compare that to the fact that i didn't get this comment when pg with ds until the last week...i may actually be readier (not a word....leave me alone

) than last time. My back, pelvic and pubic pain has worsened even tho i am going to physical therapy and the therapist has mostly given up on getting it to go away and is more in the "try to keep you comfortable" mindset now.... I have had a few painful ctx. Nothing that lasts but i also didn't have this with ds. My tiredness has dissapaited this week so MAYBE my body is gearing up with adrenaline (or i am sleeping better). This saterday marks the "ok" date given by the MW so thats all i need. I am guessing another 2-2.5 weeks....course my luck i will go to sept. 10 or soemthing. KILL ME NOW!!!! lol

I have been feeling that way from the start. The doctor and I have been going back and forth on this topic. I have told her for about 4 months now that I am feeling like I will be having this baby in August. And after this week I really think it will be in the next couple of weeks. I feel bad and BH are getting more and more.

So I am with you when you feel like the baby is coming sooner.

I have a *feeling* I'll be earlier too. The u/s dated the pregnancy for Sept. 15th but who knows how accurate that is? I'm thinking I am a little further along although my fundal height measurements are consistant with my weeks thus far. I guess it's all in my head, I just would like this babe to come in August. I already have a Sept. baby (and Oct. baby) - it would just be *nice* to have an August baby - to share my birthday month with.

After saying all this, I also want her to come when SHE and my uterus are both ready.

I am going to be that lady....you know the one.

My advice to all ladies is to try and leave it at having faith in your body and baby and believe that your baby will stay in its warm cozy home just as long as it needs to. I think one of the hardest things we can do to ourselves at this stage of the game it to create any type of pre-concieved notion of when baby will come. It makes it so much harder to deal with a baby who is content to stay inside if you spend so much time hoping it will come out early.

Although I do understand the hope/wish/feeling, I've had it too. But I am trying soooo hard to not focus on it....trying sooo hard to trust and let go...and accept being hugley pregnant for as long as I need to be......

Sending you

, we'll see soon, truth be told, babies do come out, and ours will be in our arms soon!!!

I don't think I will make it till my edd either. DS was a little more than 2 weeks early, so I am assuming this one will be early too. I just keep telling him he has to stay put until Aug 29th, I'll be 37 weeks then. Plus I am now feeling alot of pubic pressure & pain. I feel like me labia are swollen, but I can't tell, sorry if that is TMI

Although since I've been preparing myself for him to show up early, he'll probably stick it out until early Oct & be 2 weeks late

Right now I am ok with it going either way. We'll see how that changes as time goes on

 

[bohemama]

I really hope I make it to my due date and maybe pass it too

(ask me again in a couple weeks). I've been nervous that the baby will come early because I've had twins before and both times they came at the 35 week mark. The first set was 35w1d (already passed that one) and the second set was 35w6d (this Sunday). If I want a hb then I have to make it to at least 36 weeks, but I'd like to go much longer than that so I know this baby is done cooking!

This morning I've been having pain in my lower back that comes and goes. It makes me a little nervous, but I'm sure it's not the real thing yet!!
