[pinkyp]

[misdee]

what i keep thinking about, is its dd4 birthday in about 4 weeks. then 6 weeks ater that its xmas.

eeeeek!!

[planner26]

I have six weeks left too pinkyp - when are you due? DC1 is due on 25th Nov (a girl so we were told!). The weeks have been speeding away since 28W! I am crapping it!

[TheMulledBloodsOnMe]

Yes I have 16 weeks left, so a bit more to go than you, OP, but the realisation hit me today like a train. I am well over the half-way mark now and it's the count-down rather than the count-up now!

pinkyp- does the 'knowing' make it worse? I'm trying to convince myself that it being my 2nd, things will be a lot easier! Maybe I should be panicking more!

[CJMommy]

Am due in 10 weeks (DC2) - realisation hasn't really kicked in yet as I'm so busy at work just trying to finish what I need to. however, I think I am quite happy in my bubble of self inflicted denial for now

I have 9 weeks left (although probably turn into 11 weeks as my babies are usually late !).
2 of my children have birthdays in the next few weeks, as well as other close family memebers. I have family comming to visit/stay for 5 days next week, also we have a holiday to Center Parcs for a week in 3 weeks time and Xmas is looming !
I'm am prepared and organized for none of it, just starting to panic a little now !

[Giddyup]

I am 37 weeks- the fear has kicked in! I have coasted to this point as I have an nearly 8 year age gap but I am finally remembering what I have let myself in for- eeks! Woke up at 5 this morning and couldn't get back to sleep...

[faverolles]

I've got 14 weeks to go.
I remember when I had the others, the pregnant stage seemed to go on for ever. This time, it's romping on!

[PrivetDancer]

I've got just under 6 weeks to go and it feels like aaaages!

[pinkyp]

planner 26 i'm due 25th Novemeber too! another boy!

I think its worse knowing whats gonna happen but my mw said it'll be alot quicker this time so thats 1 good thing lol

[OliviaMumsnet]

Yikes
I have even less

[pinkyp]

I'll be glad when i've popped feel shoking today :(

[misdee]

its my 5th lol. with the others i was really prepared. this time i am not.

just gonna get dd4 birthday out of the way then can figure out the otherstuff. oh and xmas lol.

[Philomeena]

Arrrgh! I was sitting back, smugly thinking I had many months to go, I calculated 14 weeks until DH 'kindly' reminded me that we had 12, not 14 weeks to go! Have put everything on hold till maternity leave starts. Anyone else feeling shocked and startled?

[planner26]

pinkyp - good luck!

oh no well i've no idea what to expect (beyond stories from friends/ family) and books. Trying not to panic myself by imagining the best possible situation/ birth (ha - as if that will happen!)

Also feeling so crappy have been for a few weeks now so although i'm so nervous abut birth, i can't wait to get it over with, have my lovely little girl here and feel better!

[smoggii]

I have just under 10 weeks left the next 8 of which i'll stilll be at work so trying not to think about it until then...although this post has made me panic a bit.

[bytheMoonlight]

On Monday I have 2 weeks to go

Been told by the consultant that she will now let me go over my due date so could now be in labour on dd's third birthday - baby could even be born on dd's birthday

I have, however, organised all the presents and things for dd's birthday (think I'm in nesting mode), I'm just not sure when we will actually be celebrating it - poor child!

[rudbekia]

lordy....just realised in response to this post that as of saturday I'm on a 9 week countdown which, on the one hand sounds like ages, but this month is zooming past...its my first DC too so am starting to worry. At work for the next 6 weeks but feeling rough today so not looking forward to it.

I've started the xmas shopping this week - dawned on me that, although I'm due before xmas, it could appear anytime around those weeks so I need to be prepared. I've also started to stock up on nappies, wipes, pads, nipple cream....hmmmm.....nesting much?!

[planner26]

Oh God I just sat and watched birth videos to 'prepare me' for half an hour. I've changed my mind...HELP!!!

[giddywithglee]

rudbekia I'm due 13th Dec so you must be due just after me... it's all whizzing past really quickly. I'm working up to 37 weeks and REALLY regretting it now - I'm knackered!

I've started the Christmas shopping and am keeping my fingers crossed that he puts in an appearance before 25th!

We've just covered labour and breathing in our antenatal classes - that was a bit of a wake-up call!

[misdee]

i set dd's to work on their xmas lists today.

and got dd2 ain present. a shiney new bike.

[rudbekia]

giddywithglee I'm due the 18th Dec. Am also working up to week 37 which is probably a bit daft - I'm only part-time though so its not so bad, but even so my energy levels aren't what they were! The xmas pressies will all be sent out beforehand - probably with the cards - then whatever happens DH and I don't have to worry! Got a labour and birth class with DH on Monday.....I'm more worried about his reaction in truth!

[Floopy21]

I've got 10 weeks to go too! Although I'm convinced it'll be more like 8. Working for a while too. Hope to get the nursery painted by begining of November...so much to do still!

Happy countdown everyone

[sunfunandmum]

I've got 8 weeks to go... not ready! We've got dc1 2nd birthday just before the new baby and then Xmas straight after. Better start buying presents NOW.

It's got to be easier the 2nd time round??

[narmada]

I've got 2 days to go till due date. Was really calm and trying not to think about labour but now suddenly I am crapping my pants and thinking, I don't mind if he stays in there to cook for a bit longer! It's my second baby.
