I agree with previous poster. Focus on the positives. You are still just one person right now and you can to some degree still do the things you want when you want to. Not that babies are a "burden" by any means, but you will just think back to these days when your every day errands become much more complex than they used to be. The attention is also great. People go out of their way for you. Everyone likes to "protect" a pregnant woman. People smile at you more. This will continue when baby comes, but then it's all about baby. Enjoy soaking up the attention and make sure to spend the next several weeks pampering your self as much as possible! Good Luck and Congrats!

I was the same way when I was carrying my little one last year, anxious to see the bundle of joy. What I did was started a journal, I would write notes in the journal about each doctors appointment, the joys of hearing the heartbeat, the look on daddy to be as he watched the baby on the ultrasound. Just notes to share the joy I had so when my child was old enough I would give her the journal. She is 5 months now, and I still write in the journal and its great. It helped me during my pregnancy because I wanted to write as much as I could so baby knew she was loved from the beginning and just so she could read how I felt during the time I was pregnant. Might help but thats all I can suggest. Congrats though

I'm almost 29wks and I understand where you are coming from. Another 10wks or so and it will all be overwith.
Try to distract yourself...read a book, organize the baby's room, knit, etc. etc. Your anxiousness could be part of nesting and if you start to get things ready for the baby this could relieve some of that.
What you're feeling is pretty common - distraction is the key!! Maybe even a small vacation might help?
Best of luck for a happy healthy baby in the end!

I am also 29 weeks and I feel exactly the same way. This is my 2nd baby so I almost need this to be over. I am having trouble keeping up with my 4.5 year old son. I get winded from walking slowly and sometimes when I'm just sitting!!! We're just going to have to be patient. It will be over and then you will wish you still had more time to be pregnant!! Happened with my first, but I didn't have as many aches and pains that I do this time!!!

I'm 33 weeks today, and it's been about a month that I've had the same feeling. Pregnancy was fun for awhile, now it's just work. The best advice I've been given is to just relax, and enjoy both being pregnant and not yet being a mom...once that baby comes everything will change. Do what you can do, and enjoy being catered to a bit. Contact me through yahoo if you want to exchange stories!

First of all congratulations! I was just in your situation a few months ago. I had my baby in November. I started getting REALLY anxious around 30 weeks. I started thinking of things that I could do to start labor (spicy foods, sex, ect.). But in the end I realized that she would come when she was ready and time just flew by. She was even 4 days late.

I'm right there with you. Try doing things in preparation of the baby. Like washing his or her clothes. Getting the room ready. Childproofing and so on. I know it's getting harder to do daily routines so do things that are easy on your back and legs. Sometimes I find that it helps the anxious feelings by getting things ready for her.

Focus on the positives of being pregnant, like all the attention you get. Like the ability to eat things youd feel guilty eating otherwise hehe. Like your super cute wardrobe of maternity clothing! Have you had a baby shower yet? There's always that to look forward to. Only 11 more weeks to go! You can do it :)
