When did you just feel "over it" and ready to give birth already?
30w and not there yet. There are some days I'm done with it....but mostly I'm fine and still feel like I need the next 10 weeks to mentally get ready for our LO. I am so excited to meet him, but also nervous/scared/anxious about the first few months post-birth. So, I'm ok with being pregnant a little while longer.
What about you?

Probably by 37 weeks because I felt like the baby could come anytime then and I was just waiting every day for signs of labor. But the LO baked until 40w 4d!

I delivered in my 41th week and I was miserable the last 6 weeks...too much heartburn, insomnia, leg cramps, trips to the bathroom, etc!

I was ready and over it when I hit 40 weeks. I didn't want my LO to arrive early.

Now. 28 weeks. Reasons? Weight gain, groin pain and I want to meet our little girl already!! I keep looking at her ultrasound pictures thinking I can already see who she will look like.

I'm 34 weeks today and not there yet.
I honestly thought I would never get there but last two weeks sleep has been hard to come by, the crazy hip pains to the point where I can't walk, muscle twinging all day long, peeing every 30 mins, evening hours are SO uncomfortable. I'm thinking now that it's possible I can hit that "I'm over it" point.
But still not yet.

Oh good I'm not alone! I kind of thought I'd be "over it" by now but maybe it will be more like 37 weeks : )

35 weeks today, and also not there yet. Although, I can tell I am getting closer to getting there. I am cranky, and I have some SERIOUS pelvic pain that has been keeping me up at night. But, I still don't feel like I am over this yet. I like feeling her kicking around in there, and I think that I really need these next 5 weeks to just be ready for this big change.

@bpcmarj:
Is your baby still moving around a lot too?
I keep reading that in these last few weeks things are cramped and movement will slow. But she is still moving around ALL the time in there. I swear she's flipped herself around twice. Past 3 days at least once a day she moves herself alllll the way to the right side of my stomach so that the hump is shifted all the way to the right. hahaha
It's like she's saying I don't care if it's cramped in here *I'm* going to make more room by stretching your stomach out! haha

@regberadaisy: YES!! She moves like craaaazy. The other night it was seriously comical how much my belly was stretching and moving around. She seems to want to hang out in the farthest "corner" of my belly, usually wayyyy to the right and as far towards my back as she can get. I know they say things will slow, but maybe we aren't quite there yet?

33 weeks and still not even close to there yet. Despite my multitude of complications, I really love this pregnancy thing. I feel sad in a way that I am getting so close to being done.
hostess / wonderful grape / 20803 posts
@MsMini: I like pregnancy too - you are definitely a pregnancy trooper! Though, the thought of going through another pregnancy is still a little overwhelming!
grapefruit / 4056 posts
@winniebee: I am with you there, I am a little spooked that I could have all the same complications a second time around, and I wonder if, knowing that, how I would handle getting pregnant again.

I've been over it for a while now. Patience hasn't always been one of my strengths though, so that is playing a big part in it. I cannot wait to meet our little one!
GOLD / wonderful grape / 20289 posts
Probably at 37 weeks. I think I wouldn't have but my OB said that she thought I'd go into labor soon because LO was so low. So I thought that it was going to happen, and it didn't, and I was just waiting and waiting. She didn't come until her due date.

I'm totally over pregnancy, and all it's pains, insomnia, morning sickness (which is making a comeback - ugh), etc. BUT I am also not ready for the baby to be here yet.
persimmon / 1427 posts
I'm 36 weeks and pregnancy isn't my finest moment. I've been over it for a while, but at the same time, I'm not ready for baby to come just yet. I'm sure by the time I get to my due date, I'll be completely over it.
nectarine / 2797 posts
The entire time? I joke that there was about a four week period (20-24 weeks) between where I was sick all the time and I started feeling really uncomfortable and huge. But I've got 13 weeks to go still! Although I don't feel prepared for baby to come yet either!

Now @ 37 weeks. I am just so tired and have to use the restroom - ALL THE TIME & lets add that none of my shoes really fit anymore! 2 more weeks left of work too!
persimmon / 1134 posts
I think I'm almost there at 36 weeks. I still feel good most of the time (besides the yucky cold I'm currently dealing with), but I'm getting to the point where it's getting really difficult and uncomfortable to do things. And I'm so tired of my shrinking wardrobe collection....
hostess / wonderful grape / 20803 posts
I'm curious for those of us who are now farther along - are you "over" pregnancy yet?
I'm "over" being on bedrest, but not ready to be done w/ pregnancy yet (34 weeks). I just can't wait to get back up on my feet (hopefully in another wk and a half)! I think after I'm up on my feet again, I'll start to feel the over it mentality though.

I just started my 37th week, and I'm very very over pregnancy! Especially now that it became HOT outside, and I don't have too many warm weather pregnancy clothes!

I'm 35 weeks today and I'm just about there. I'm just so tired! Give me another 2-3 weeks and I think I'll be ready. Funny, with my first, I could have stayed pregnant for a while! I loved it! This one, it's been great and I'll miss it, but I won't mind if she comes early.
GOLD / wonderful pomegranate / 28905 posts
38 weeks + 2 days and still not there yet.
Definitely super uncomfortable and can't wait to meet her. But not that the "get out of me!!!" stage yet.
I think I'm just getting more and more anxious to meet her
hostess / wonderful grape / 20803 posts
UPDATE: 38+1 and officially over it. We were prepped to think we were having a preemie, and then to think that we'd have our baby as soon as I got off bedrest. Now I feel like the clock is ticking. OVER IT.
blogger / nectarine / 2010 posts
I never did; I just kept finding more and more cute projects I wanted to do!
hostess / wonderful persimmon / 25556 posts
@winniebee: lol. You come off bed rest expecting the baby to just fall out because she's not used to all the commotion and she decides to stay put. Yeah, I'd be over it if I were you, as well!
I can't believe it's been over a month since I last said I was over it. Same reason - the darn groin pain!! Plus, I just want to meet her and hug her and snuggle her and call her by her name already!! (36 weeks now)
cantaloupe / 6146 posts
@winniebee: LOL. Me too. But I never stopped being over it, so it probably doesn't count.
Have a pineapple, or 7.
hostess / wonderful grape / 20803 posts
@pastemoo: I ate a bunch at brunch yesterday - but not SEVEN! pineapple hurts my tongue ; ) I seriously don't fit into any maternity pants, constantly feel the urge to pee myself, back hurting, sick of being starving, rings just stopped fitting, and the list goes on. Oh, and I'm pretty excited to meet my baby boy, too ; )
eggplant / 11824 posts
I'm still totally over pregnancy - more now than last month. This seriously cannot be the most effecient way for our species to reproduce!
Baby (or rather, baby's feet!) have found my ribcage, which is no bueno for me and being able to sleep. I'm also having a fair amount of painful pre-term labor contractions, although I'm not dialted (as of last week), and they are not close enough together to really mean anything. It's just tiring, especially in the evenings after work when my back hurts and I start to dread bedtime as I know I won't sleep well.
Well, only 3 weeks to go at the max. I can make it!
cantaloupe / 6146 posts
@winniebee: Yeah. I'm currently only wearing dresses and sweats. Put li hing on your pineapple--it takes away the acid that makes your tongue feel weird AND it's delicious.
Nothing fits, my rings have been off for over 2 months... I want to meet the baby now! My husband wants to meet him tomorrow after work---or anytime before work on Wednesday (he's scheduled for 10 hour days today through Sunday, so I don't blame him for wanting time off now!).
Can you sleep? I hurt, and my body is so awkward, I pretty much don't sleep anymore, and nothing over 1.5 hours. My husband says "baby is helping you practice for when he wakes you up hungry."
hostess / wonderful grape / 20803 posts
@pastemoo: Ugh. Yeah, my husband wants me to go by Wed/Thurs so he doesn't have to finagle work stuff. As if I have a choice! I haven't slept well without Unisom in months. I still take 1/2 tab every night. And then don't fall asleep for hours and get up 5x to pee. But without Unisom, it's worse....
GOLD / pomelo / 5167 posts
So over this pregnancy. It's worst than the first time around.
Can't wait to go into labour.
pomegranate / 3980 posts
I am 35 weeks now and I feel done with this because I have been in quite a bit if pain and I sm starting to get really nervous about the fact she is still breech... I wish she could just flip over and be born already so I don't have to worry anymore.
cantaloupe / 6146 posts
Alright, so tonight, the 3 of should have our babies. Deal? OK, it's settled then. 3 more May babies. Tonight. With Aunt Pol and MrsDareDevil, that's 5. Perfect.
AND. GO!
eggplant / 11824 posts
@cyndistar3: LO was breech at 34 weeks, but by my 36 week appointment had readjusted herself and was head down (and very low head down). There is still time!
pomegranate / 3980 posts
@yoursilverlining: I have to go in every week for a position check and an attempt to reposition her because I don't have small babies lol... Though at the moment I have a feeling she may be head down! I really hope so anyways
hostess / wonderful grape / 20803 posts
@pastemoo: DEAL. (Though secretly know I'm breaking my end of the deal. It's just not happening, I swear!)
cantaloupe / 6146 posts
@winniebee: Sorry, I messed up, too. 
I was too busy not sleeping, and praying for baby to show up. Oops.
