Answer 1

Enjoy your time as a princess, because once your baby is born, you will be put on the back burner. Everyone will be so caught up in the little guy that they forget all about you! (you'll do the same to yourself) Just enjoy it! You asked for birthing stories, so here's a little of my experience. They always say that a woman hates her husband during childbirth. In my case, that wasn't true. My husband catered to my every need. I was in the hospital for a total on 9 days and he never left my side. During childbirth, I needed my husband. BUT, my doctor was being the biggest wench. I just had an epidural, and my leg was completely numb. I had no control over it, and it kept falling over. She was literally YELLING at me to stop dropping my leg. All I could think of was how nice it would be to kick her in the face. Finally, a nurse with some decency told her to shut up and that I couldn't control it. When I saw my son, none of it mattered. I was elated, and still am almost 2 years later. Good luck.

I have two boys (4 and 2) and am 31 weeks pregnant with our third boy. I swear that the last month of pregnancy is the hardest part of parenting. Now is a good time to watch movies, play video games/ computer games, sew, read, or any other hobby you have as you will not have much time until the baby is older. Going out with friends or having them over is really good because you will not have the same kind of time, energy, or housekeeping after the baby comes. Getting the nursery ready (and re-folding all the baby clothes for the six hundredth time) helps so does getting the baby book started. Reading the parenting books and breastfeeding books and stuff like that can be fun and can give you a chance to make lavish rules for yourself that you will later laugh at. I think the the "nesting behavior" they talk about is actually just women trying not to go crazy waiting for labor to start. Have you picked a name yet? I'm guessing yes or you would be spending all night looking up names on the internet. Draw pretty decorative versions of his name and pick one to hang on the wall of his room. Good luck, try not to go too crazy.

Oh, I know the feeling!! I think it's nature's way of making sure women aren't scared of giving birth, you will do anything to get them out! OK, here's a funny story. My cousin was two weeks late, absolutely bored out of her head and frustrated. She decided to go for a walk around the block in the hope that things would "get moving". She went for a walk, but was so huge, she couldn't make it back. She sat on a bench and cried. A neighbour came along and drove her home (it was like a 5 minute walk away), and she rang Pizza Hut and gorged out on pizzas, bawling her eyes out the whole time. Other than that, try and go swimming - it's something you can do physically that keeps you feeling good and takes the weight off your feet. Good luck, it won't be long now!!

I am 35 weeks and know exactly how you feel!
I manage to forget about it while I'm home, but as soon as I go out people everywhere comment and ask questions and remind me that I still have 5 weeks left, which seems like an eternity!

Go shop for the baby, find names,find decorations to the baby's room..stuff like that because you can't take your mind away from the pregnancy topic!
