I'm due tomorrow but he doesn't seem to be at all ready to arrive, haven't had a single contraction at all yet, I had them weeks before Megan was born, then she came a week early. Doctor said I can get induced next Friday, which will put me at 41 weeks, hope it doesn't come to that, I hear the contractions are much more painful since you go straight to super active labor and I wanted to have this one natural as well. Oh well, we shall see what he does, still has a week to come out on his own :-)

Yeah it's hard to be happy for those who already had their babies, but I seriously AM happy for them! I just am also totally jealous :) ianina had her c section today at 8 she said so by now she too has her little baby girls. Even more unfair cuz she gets TWO!!!
Haha I just tell myself that my baby will be cuter then everyone else's :0 but hey, each mom feels her baby is the cutest right! 5 days overdue now, and still wondering when it will happen..........

As i said before. I did the sex thing and i'm getting a fal. Hottest curry they do.
I'm sick.
I don't bother getting dressed if i don't leave the house.
I've had 3 calls and two texts today asking how i'm feeling.
The house is a state and i refuse to clean it cos i'm moving next week (hopefully....) and i'm ready to bite someones hand offif they put it on my bump and rub. I'm not a freaking petting zoo.
Laura, NO one should be making you feel bad, but inadvertidly, everyone will. Even us sometimes. Especially those jammy mums who have had babies already xD The combination of feeling great for them and hating them because they have their bundles and we don't is just plain crap.
You all make me feel great too. I didn't get this sort of conversation comfort with my first. I went on about 8 sites with loads of random women and didn't speak to the same one twice and had a lot of nasty feedback to questions when i was just totally uninformed, young and interested.
Here it's relaxed and i check my COM a soon as i get up and before i go to bed :)
Awesome.

AMEN! Haha I'm wearing a HUGE t shirt my husbands crazy grandma gave me, like three sizes too big but it's so comfy now! And I'm wearing my hubby's xxl basketball shorts too cuz they are the only thing that fits! Even so it's like do I pull it way up over the bump and look like a grandpa, or leave it under the bump and look like a down town gangsta!! Super annoying, sweat pants is all that fits now and all shirts are almost showing belly by now.

My mil calls alot too, any sign? I'm like idk, why don't you tell me what to look for!?!.!?!? I mean seriously now I'm overdue they think I'll be able to say something about when I will labor, but idk! I mean it's my body but I can't really tell until I get some painful contractions. Til then I'm sort of out of the loop too so don't be bothering me all the time asking how's it going? Or the worst one 'how are you feeling?' like all full of pity and concern. I mean back off! I'm feeling like I'm 9 months pregnant and like I'm in early labor. You know this so don't be bothering me with this condescending tone of poor little you!

I actually feel pretty great, I mean I slept well, I walk without pain, I'm eating well, my back doesn't even hurt much! All in all I feel great, just this impatience is annoying me and I'd really like to get it going, but physically I'm sure lucky cuz I guess I'm build to breed cuz I really don't have much complaints.

So the pity thing really bothers me. Oh my biggest complaint this pregnancy is a short temper, so back off all you well wishers!,!!

Thankfully all you ladies on here never make me feel bad, you all seem to make me smile! Thanks ladies you are the ones who make me happy again!

I think is the "first baby of my generation madness".
Thanks girls!. Corrie, I totally understand. Wherever I go people look at me and say out loud "please don't have the baby here..." with a terror look on their faces...hahaha
The only clothe that actually fits me is my bf's...now I understand why pregnant girls look that bad at the end of the pregnancy...it is what it is :)

Vent away Ianina. I'm starting to get sick of the "Any sign?" and "No baby yet?" comments.
And also the looks i'm getting off people left right and centre cos my clothes are so mismatched all the time.... Nothing is comfortable. Sigh.

No mom, I don't need you to come over to help me with whatever YOU think I might need at 5 am when I wake up to go to the hospital...Mom, if I need anything I will call you...
Sigh...this has been going on for weeks now...I needed to vent

Due next Friday (the 13th), had an internal today, said I am dilated 1/2 centimeter. Really? I didn't know you could even tell that little tiny measurement :-) But she did say the head is very low, actually had trouble finding my cervix because the head was in the way, so when it comes time to push, should just slide right on out of me :-D

I have 5 days to go now, but im hoping that the baby decides to come in the next couple of days, I have been having little contractions but they are not lasting that long.
Can't wait to see pics of all the little May babies :D

I'm due in 5 days! I'm like a ticking time bomb my husband says, but the best thing is when the bomb goes off we get a baby! I'm having tons of contractions, but nothing regular so who knows when I'll go!

5 weeks left! I'm due May 31st but I'm hoping she makes an appearance early! My midwife ordered a growth ultrasound and at 30 weeks my daughter was almost 5 pounds already...the thought of having a "full term" 10 pound baby is scary! :D

Omg, I couldn't handle two 1 yr olds and two newborns! That would be just awful, like all you could manage to do is feed and diaper each one, no time for playing cuddeling or teaching sleeping or anything! Scary :0

Laura, I don't think getting preggo again is going to happen.
But just imagine having 2 one year old and 2 newborns...hahaha

4 weeks 2 days...due May 22. He's already dropped and it often feels like he's headbutting my cervix. That combined with the constant backache, leg cramps, swollen feet and ankles, joint pain, etc. makes me very ready to meet him finally! ;) My first was a week overdue and my labor was induced, so I'm curious what it will feel like if/when my labor starts naturally. I'm hoping to make it a bit closer to my due date, but whatever he has planned works for me :) Although I'm not sure I could handle another 9lb+ baby... Maybe since my first was so big, this one with just slide right out without a hitch (his brother did blaze the trail)...

I still have 5 1/2 weeks to go but I'm just crossing my fingers she comes after 38 weeks, she doesnt seem to want to stay in there but since being off work things have gotten better i feel like there is a chance of making to my due date

Ianina, just make sure you don't get preggo quickly after the girls! That would be someone to seriously complain about, can you imagine TWO two year olds and a newborn!!!

Ianina - posted on 04/19/2011

see?? That is why I got the twins...I do it all once and that is it! No chasing a toddler while having a newborn. My mom had my bro when I was 18 months and she always "complained" about it.
I'm so efficient that I am doing a 2x1 combo :)

Same for Tucker. I am with him 24/7...it'll be a MAJOR adjustment for him. Plus he has SO MUCH ENERGY!!! So while I can't wait to meet her and its difficult cleaning and such now...having a newborn and a high energy 2 year old...well it'll be tough. But oh so very worth it!!

Having two sounds intimidating, but two newborns at least are doing the same stuff! You will do great ianina, don't worry. Get a nice sling like a moby wrap that you can put both babies in at the same time and trust me, babies who are held don't cry much! Newborn stage from my memory is a bit easier then after a month or so because they sleep a lot in the beginning. But Eric is still so dependent on me I worry about caring for both him and a tiny baby.

I so agree with Laura, thinking it would be nice to go early but also realizing that he is so easily portable right now, don't need to pack anything extra if I take him somewhere, after he is born then have to pack for 2 every trip outside the house we make, sounds like a lot of work :-D

I'll have 2 little ones to take care off at the same time

12 days till I'm due!
I'm not in a hurry, I wouldn't mind being late, but only up to a week late. I think being pregnant is a heck of alot easier then it will be to adjust to having two little ones to care for!
At least right now I don't have to worry about what the baby needs or wants, or if she is ok, etc. She is safe and content and easy! I totally can't wait to have her, but I really think it's only going to get harder, not easier when she is born!

2 weeks and 2 days until I'm due...3 days of working left! :) Emma came right on her due date so we'll see what her sister does. Right now it feels like she'd like to come out through my ribs! :)

15 days for me. But I have an appt with my OB on the 20th and we will see. If we make it 15 more days, they are going to be born at 36 weeks. can't believe we made it this far!!

I have 2 weeks, 2 days until my due date, but I hope to go early (what woman doesn't). My daughter came at 39 weeks, 3 days so I'm hoping that this little guy will come early like his sister. I'll have a preschooler and an infant so I'm a little concerned with how my daughter will act, but she's old enough to be self efficient enough that it shouldn't be a problem.

ive got 35 days at the very most till my scheduled csection date but i know im not going to make it with the twins until then.. im figuring im going tohave them in about 2-3 weeks since im having daily contractions already.. im just done being preggers and want these babies here already... not to mention with all the doctors appointments (averaging 5 a week right now) for this pregnancy and gas over $4.00 a gallon its getting really expensive to be driving all over...

the next month is going to be exciting for all of us since we will all be having these babies shortly =) good luck to all the momies to be =)
