For me, I have had a really easy pregnancy, and still feel pretty good. I have a lot of pelvic pain that makes sleeping uncomfortable, but I can still go and have a full day and only be a little tired at the end. Today, I ran around with my parents all day and felt fine during.</p> <p>The biggest thing for me now is that she "should' have been here by now. I'm getting very anxious just waiting for labor to FINALLY start! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/desperately-wanting-labor-to-start#post-139440 Thu, 26 Apr 2012 20:00:33 +0000 Nskillet 139440@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have weird ups and downs. I am 37 + 5 and so ready to be done to meet the baby but not so uncomfortable i cant stand it. Im morbidly curious about labor though.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/desperately-wanting-labor-to-start#post-139387 Thu, 26 Apr 2012 19:43:17 +0000 heffalump 139387@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>While being super huge is obviously very uncomfortable and not fun, that is not the reason that I wanted to get LO out. I was just so anxious because of the unknown. I figured once I went into labor, I would know, and I wouldn't have to think about the when and how and where, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/desperately-wanting-labor-to-start#post-139261 Thu, 26 Apr 2012 18:54:23 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 139261@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@highwire: Welp I am 37 weeks and a couple days and I desperately want my labor to start.<br /> I just really want my body back... I am sick of feeling huge and not being able to be as active as I used to be.<br /> I have only gained 23 lbs, so I guess I am lucky in that department, but I still feel like a horse and have trouble moving. I am doing whatever I can to get labor kick started! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/desperately-wanting-labor-to-start#post-139254 Thu, 26 Apr 2012 18:51:47 +0000 winniebee 139254@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't let myself go there yet (35.5wks) since I've been on bedrest for preterm labor since 30.5 wks. My mentality has been I'm not ready please stay put! I can imagine getting to that poInt around 38 or 39 wks though! Labor scares the crap out of me but the excitement over meeting the baby will eventually overpower that feeling ; ) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/desperately-wanting-labor-to-start#post-139234 Thu, 26 Apr 2012 18:41:58 +0000 Ree723 139234@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In the earlier stages of pregnancy, I couldn't fathom looking forward to labour and delivery. However, now that I am 32 weeks, I am definitely looking forward to it - not so much because I'm uncomfortable, but because I can feel the LO kicking and moving so much and it's all so very real now. I'm just beyond excited to meet our baby and can't wait for the day to arrive. </p> <p>Like a few others above, I've had a very easy pregnancy so I definitely don't hate it. I don't particularly love feeling bigger and I miss my old body, but feeling these little kicks definitely makes it all worthwhile. I think there is definitely a protective mindset that evolves in our brains as we go through pregnancy and makes us look forward to labour as it starts to get closer! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/desperately-wanting-labor-to-start#post-139011 Thu, 26 Apr 2012 17:26:52 +0000 googly-eyes 139011@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've thought the exact same thing, but since this is baby number one and I (hopefully) am nowhere near labor (19-20w now) I guess I'll have to wait and find out! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/desperately-wanting-labor-to-start#post-138951 Thu, 26 Apr 2012 16:45:49 +0000 betsyboop 138951@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm in week 38, and SO READY for labor to start! I'm not even that uncomfortable, just bored because the husband and I prepped everything way in advance and now we're just sitting around, waiting. I can't wait to meet my LO knowing that she's technically ready to come out! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/desperately-wanting-labor-to-start#post-138931 Thu, 26 Apr 2012 16:06:13 +0000 Mrsbells 138931@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I went past my due date by 5 days and waiting for labor was sooo hard! I think towards the end everyone just wants the baby to come already </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/desperately-wanting-labor-to-start#post-138916 Thu, 26 Apr 2012 16:01:03 +0000 chopsuey 138916@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At the end I totally wanted the baby out! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/desperately-wanting-labor-to-start#post-138896 Thu, 26 Apr 2012 15:45:08 +0000 tequiero21 138896@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I definitely couldnt wait. I was so uncomfy... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/desperately-wanting-labor-to-start#post-138873 Thu, 26 Apr 2012 15:34:34 +0000 calsmom 138873@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Both my husband and I are wanting this baby to come out now! I am 39 weeks and 2 days. Hubs decided to come home from work early to work on baby stuff. That is how excited/mentally ready he is for LO's arrival! I am very uncomfortable, but trying to take advantage of the rest I can get right now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/desperately-wanting-labor-to-start#post-138860 Thu, 26 Apr 2012 15:22:14 +0000 regberadaisy 138860@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>39 + 4 here.<br /> Seriously uncomfortable, getting no sleep, getting all the Pre-labor signs are making me really anxious to meet her.<br /> Overall I've really really enjoyed pregnancy. It's been such a amazing experience and I'm sure that overall I had a fairly easy pregnancy plays into it.<br /> But definitely ready for her to come out and meet us! Especially now that I'm off work I don't want to waste any more days just sitting here!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/desperately-wanting-labor-to-start#post-138857 Thu, 26 Apr 2012 15:20:23 +0000 mamimami 138857@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This was definitely not my experience. When I went into labor at 38 weeks, I was like, "NO! I have things to doooo! Stay!" But, obviously, he did not stay.</p> <p>I think the combination of the fact that I lived in a 5th floor walkup intil I was 8 months pregnant (stayed quite active!) and the fact that he came before I expected had me not too uncomfortable/eager. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/desperately-wanting-labor-to-start#post-138855 Thu, 26 Apr 2012 15:19:41 +0000 mediagirl 138855@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I feel like a heifer right now which makes me pretty sad to think I still have 6 +/- weeks to go in this pregnancy. While I don't really hate it, I'm kind of at the "over it" stage. I'm ready for my little girl to be here already so I can douse her with kisses and love. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/desperately-wanting-labor-to-start#post-138849 Thu, 26 Apr 2012 15:16:07 +0000 Rubies 138849@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I enjoyed my pregnancy. At the end, I was excited and anxious...But I didn't hate it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/desperately-wanting-labor-to-start#post-138847 Thu, 26 Apr 2012 15:15:38 +0000 Honeybee 138847@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lol, yes, you'll probably actually start looking forward to labor by the time you get to the end. :)</p> <p>With both of my pregnancies, I was so tired/uncomfortable/in pain/etc... I was praying for labor at the end! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/desperately-wanting-labor-to-start#post-138846 Thu, 26 Apr 2012 15:13:23 +0000 DillonLion 138846@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Okay, I need a reality check. I'm having trouble wrapping my mind around the fact that I will eventually get so large and uncomfortable, that I will actually be excited to deliver a giant baby through my vagina. </p> <p>Did everyone else who gave birth totally hate being pregnant at the end? Or is that not everyone's experience? </p>
