How did we get to here...

[AlwaysDancing1234]

I'm 38 weeks pregnant and it still seems like a dream that very soon we will have an actual real baby!
This is DC2, waited a long time after DC1 (6 years) and this pregnancy has been tough, lost a twin very early on and been in hospital twice with massive bleeds. It's hard to believe that everything is actually ok now and pretty soon we will get to meet our little girl.
Of course I know it's real, my enormous bump is a very good reminder of that but sometimes it still seems so surreal!
So just that really, despite the sickness, worries, leg cramps and other delightful pregnancy niggles the end is now in sight, if only she would get a bloody move on!!

Sounds like you've been through the mill! Well done and good luck!

Love and luck to you and your family

Thank you both, I just want her to arrive now!

I'm 39 weeks and finding the idea of my baby being here any day now very unreal. Slightly different situation to you - we ummed and aahed about DC3 for so long, and many times I really thought we wouldn't do it, so to be this close is mind-blowing! V glad all appears to be going well for you now'

There's a thread in Pregnancy for those of us due in the next few weeks called something like "anyone very fed up of being pregnant now?" Come and join us!

evertonmint congrats on DC3, these last few weeks really drag don't they! Definitely getting a bit fed up if waiting now so I think I will come and join that thread. Got all excited earlier as the 'tightenjngs' were coming every 10 mins but it's fizzled out and just getting a few here and there now. If I go overdue like last time (DS was 2 weeks late) I'll go loopy!!

Oh, I know that feeling; I went 13 days over with DC2 and went completely loopy too My
mw confirmed today that they will offer induction at +12 so I know I only have 15 more days max. However, I do know that if I get that far the last 5 of those will feel like at least 50...

I think that's the problem, once you go near or past your due date every day seems to last for 100 hours!
Not helped by family members ringing every day saying "anything happening". I have to try not to say "yeah we had the baby yesterday, forgot to tell you"!!
