Relaxing Doesn't Make Babies

Nope

May 20, 2012 — 12:50 am

So people are starting to say, “STILL haven’t had that baby yet?!” I know it may seem like I’ve been pregnant forever, but I’m not even at my due date yet! Sheesh, people are impatient. My mom I swear sits by the phone every single day. I called her to chat the other day since I missed her call and she literally screamed when she answered. Guess I won’t be calling my mom for the next week.

The next thing people ask is, “How are you feeling?” This is usually said with a tone of sympathy. And I respond that, errr, actually I’m fine. Still minor complaints here and there, she kicks my ribs and I get a bit of heartburn now and again. But as far as get this baby out of me, I’m done? Nah. I’m doing really good. Which makes me think it’s going to be another week or two. I mean, who feels fine as their due date approaches? That’s just weird.

No signs of impending labor. I’m getting a little bit more pressure down low, but that’s because she’s head down and a little lower. Also because she’s getting bigger and when she goes all active kicking I think she is kicking off my uterus walls and pushing down. But contractions still are just random during the day, no spotting, no CM, no achy feelings… nada.

So we sit and wait. And play Diablo 3. Cause that’s how I roll. (Yay for a distraction!)

    There was someone when I was pregnant who was throwing whiny histrionics on the daily ’cause her baby was ‘late’. At 36/37 weeks, she was already with the abortefecants like cohosh trying to get the kid out, and refused to listen to anyone trying to nudge her that things like that aren’t good (and that harassing your doctor on the daily at 37 weeks to be induced is mental).

    Anyhoos, I applaud your patience. Kid’ll come when the kid’ll come, and better a happy fullly baked baby! :)

    As uncomfortable as his stage of pregnacy is,to me,it´s the most exiting stage ;) It´s when you know the baby is “done” so you arent worried about going into labour any more,it´s when you go to bed exited every night because “this could be it”,so every day is a mistery,and it´s when you are sooo close to meeting the little person who´s been just centimeters away for so many months,yet so far away at the same time…to me,this is the stage that blows me away every time :)

    Enjoy it!! :D

    Glad to hear you are still “feeling good”. The most annoying part to me is when you really are at that “get this baby out of me stage”. I can’t wait to play Diablo III myself… :-)

    Glad to hear you’re still feeling fine. In that case, I hope Ember will stay inside a little bit longer. It’ll be more fun for the girls if their birthdays are a little bit apart. :)
