I cannot do this, I don't want to do this, you can't make me. Then I literally laughed out loud at myself, because hello, the baby has to come out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-feel-emotionally-ready#post-1544239 Thu, 03 Apr 2014 18:55:51 +0000 lemondrop 1544239@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Never quite ready with #1, my water breaking at 39.1 came as a huge shock :silly: </p> <p>With #2 I was ready at 36 weeks- so over it all... he came right at 40 weeks after being dilated big time and told to be ready "any minute now" for a month :/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-feel-emotionally-ready#post-1544208 Thu, 03 Apr 2014 18:46:20 +0000 MrsH 1544208@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was ready week 33 I had to wait 41+ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-feel-emotionally-ready#post-1544138 Thu, 03 Apr 2014 18:21:27 +0000 Rockies11 1544138@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't feel ready until after I had her!

Not until she cried and then it all swarmed me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-feel-emotionally-ready#post-1544059 Thu, 03 Apr 2014 17:51:51 +0000 pinkb 1544059@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I thought I felt ready, everything was ready. But once they said I would be having her that night I kept saying I changed my mind...lol. Half out of fear and half to just to lighten the mood I guess. I was one of those women that said I wanted a c section I was so scared of labor and birth ( not to my DR ). But it wasn't anywhere near as bad as my mind hyped it up to be and actually I cant wait to do it again! I had LO at 36weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-feel-emotionally-ready#post-1544053 Thu, 03 Apr 2014 17:49:47 +0000 Dandelion 1544053@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was really ready the last week leading up to my surgery.

I mean, I know baby wasn't ready yet, but that's when I reached the point where I stopped being scared of labor because I was so ready to get the baby out of me! lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-feel-emotionally-ready#post-1543978 Thu, 03 Apr 2014 17:24:55 +0000 Greentea 1543978@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>About an hour before I went into labor (clock struck midnight on her due date and dh finally finished the last getreadyforbaby chore). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-feel-emotionally-ready#post-1543939 Thu, 03 Apr 2014 17:15:54 +0000 MrsKoala 1543939@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>40 weeks on the dot!

Actually, to be honest, LO is 8 months and I'm still not ready....!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-feel-emotionally-ready#post-1543834 Thu, 03 Apr 2014 16:48:54 +0000 LovelyPlum 1543834@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Over the last 24-36 hours, I have come to the conclusion that I am Ready to have this baby. Maybe I'm not 100% prepared, but I am feeling like I am ready to try labor (which sort of scares me), ready to brave the postpartum fun (which really scares me), and that I want to know who this kid is! I'm trying to be patient, because I know it could still be a while, but I want to go soon! I'm 39+1 today. I don't think it hurts that my doctor said my cervix was very ripe and ready and that right now I want to crawl out of my skin, either. So let's go, little one; Mama is ready! :silly: </p> <p>When did you feel ready? How much longer did you have to wait until baby actually came </p>
