Due on April 8th. I'm so anxious and can't wait to meet my baby. My husband and I are ready for her to come. Just waiting patiently, at least he is patient. Me, not so much. I have a feeling it will be awhile though. She is head down but hasn't dropped yet. This kind of worries me because I'm so ready for her to be here. Any advice from expecting or new parents.

By the way, I have two black labs. A 3 year old female, Serena and a 6 year old male, Koal. Any advice on them with the new addition to come would be good too.

Patience is key and unfortunately it is a virtue I do not have.
I am due on April 9th and I have dropped and my cervix is has softened, but my Doc says it could still be awhile, UGH!!
I am so excited too. I do not have any advice, because from what I understand the baby will come when the baby is ready.
Everything else people tell you are just old wives tales, however they may keep you busy.
For the last few days I have been feeling very different, but what do I know this is my first time.
Anyway just wanted to say Congrats since we are so close together and I hope your baby is here before Easter.
When dealing with animals they say to bring home a blanket the baby was wrapped in before you come home to get the pet use to the scent. I also put out all of my babys stuff so my cats would be use to it and could explore it before she comes home. The other thing they say to do is not to be scared of your pet being around the baby and to let the pet sniff the baby. If you freak out you will create a feeling that the pet did something bad and they could resent the baby and act out.
Good luck

Your probably really sick of being pregnant now and just want to hold your baby in your arms! I think most mums to be feel like towards the back end!
Don't worry about your baby not "dropping" yet. Some babies don't even start to engage until labour is well established.
Make the most of these last few weeks. Spend some quality time with your husband. You will find it hard once your up to your elbows in poo, milk and dirty laundry!!
Good luck with the birth and your new baby girl!

Just enjoy the time left. I know exactly how you feel! I rushed it too much with my 2 babies.
Walking and sex both help...waiting until the baby is ready to go will make your labor alot easier...rushing in their like I did was an agonizing labor with complications. Both babies ended up with jaundice from being born at 38 weeks.
This is an opportunity to help God/Creator with a miracle---enjoy!!

just try and be patient, i know it can be hard but just take this time to relax and prepare for the baby, your life is about to change and you will never have this alone time with your husband again so maybe go and do something just you and your husband, just dont go too far, good luck, soon you will be holding a new baby and it will seem like your pregnancy just flew by.

don't worry yourself the more you worry the longer you will wait she will come when she is ready if she feels like you are rushing her she will stay in there forever so just be patient and wait it out i know it is not what you want t hear but that is all you can do

Rest! I REPEAT get all the rest you can right now because in a couple weeks your sleepless nights will begin! I don't think you will find any mothers on here that can honestly say they slept through the whole night since birth, my baby is 7 and I still haven't slept through the night.

Pack your bag, it could happen any time. While you are waiting, go to movies, out to dinner, read. Do the stuff you enjoy because if you think you are tired now, you'll be really tired for the next three months. (But don't worry, it's all very much worth it. You'll be tired, but happy).

Try to be patient. The last trimester is always the worst.
Enjoy your sleep while you can.
Walking can help with labor once you're dilating.

Start walking. I used to walk around the mall or have your hubby give you a massage. Usually a foot/leg massage will get things going.
