At work there are like nine prego cashiers, just a coincidence, but I am the last one due, every one is having their baby before me, and it seems like every customer, that comes in is really prego or already has thier baby, it makes me kinda jealous, and impatient that every body I see gets or has thier baby before me, I am having a hard time waiting six more months its seems like forever, I want my baby now.

Aww I know how you feel. Since I've been pregnant so many of the girls I work with have given birth and it's like I want mine. But just think when you do have her it will be worth all the waiting. :)

I was working at Walmart when I got pregnant too. Don't worry the baby will be here before you know it. I never thought the day would finally come but my beautiful daughter will be a year old next month. Just hang in there. Oh and by the way the reason so many people get pregnant at Walmart is because of the water they put something in it. Just kidding. That is what all the cashier that I worked with said. It was just the cashier curse. Good luck

I know how you feel. I am always the last one pregnant. everyone says things like well Jenn is pregnant you will be next as always.(we both have two kids and one on the way.) I tried to get out of it. I wanted another so we tried one month. I didn't think it worked, I ended up misscarrying it before I found out I was actually pregnant. I ended up being due the same time she was. The exact day. So it is hard because she is about tho have her baby and I should have been having mine already too. I ended up getting pregnant again after the misscarriage just a few months later. I am now 3 months.
I have always been the oldest child. So I like being the youngest person around. Since everyone elses kids are going to be older yours will end up being the cute little baby. Your baby will make them want another. I think that is why I am perfectly fine with having the last baby due. Mine will be the most anticipated and it will be the baby when all of theirs is getting in to things.
At my job we all go in cycles. One gets pregnant then another and another and so on and so on. My friend Jenn always starts the cycle, then another girl gets pregnant,then me then about 6 others then Jenn starts it again. However all our prengant women have quit and I am the only one pregant. So I have nobody to compare to and I get yelled at alot. Don't pick that up leave that alone, don't bend over. I love it.

Okay, now, take a deep breath and try to get a grip.
Think about what kind of MOM you want to be. Do you want to be the type of mom who is impatient with her kids for just being kids and having to learn how to talk, walk, feed themselves, etc? Or do you want to be a mom who is patient and enjoys every step of the way as her kids grow up?
Do you want to be the type of mom who is constantly comparing her children to other people's kids and just can't be satisfied with how, when and why her own kids do things? Or do you want to be the type of mom who treasures her kids as individuals and doesn't give a hoot how other families live?
Hopefully, this will gain you some perspective. You can't help when your baby is due. You can't help when your baby will be born. You can't help that there are 8 other pregnant women in the cashier pool at your Wal-Mart. Try to relax and focus on the things that you CAN control, like being healthy for your baby, getting ready for labor and breastfeeding, etc.

We all go through that and feel that way. Just remember a couple of things. If everyone is having their baby first, they will be full of helpful advice when you need it, for labor or taking care of the baby. They also may pass down some gently used baby clothes and toys for you and save you some $$$$. Also, remember that this is YOUR time, use it wisely. In six months, you won't have to time to go out and do what you want to do ( or the $$$). Go get a pedicure or a massage. Enjoy your pregnancy.

Woah, slow down...Do you realize that there's no vacation between being pregnant and being a Mom? Take this time to prepare for your unborn child. Do you know if it's a boy or a girl? There are so many things that you will need. I would make a list and check them off as you get them. Are you going to breast or bottle feed? If you plan to breast feed you will need a special bra. If you plan to bottle fed, you will needs bottles, a bottle heater...they make one that you just set the bottle into....nice. You will need formula.
Use lots of Cocoa butter, so that you don't ruin your little body with stretch marks. Once you get them, there is no way to get rid of them. Maybe your husband can help you reach those hard to reach areas:-)
baby receiving blankets
baby bassinet
baby cradle of seat
car seat
bottles
nipples
ointment to prevent diaper rash
baby powder
baby swing, I like the wind up kind
changing table
diapers
diaper disposale unit, I can't stand dirty diapers in the house, it makes you home smell bad
I recommend that you check out freecycle, alot of Mom's would be happy to pass on things to you from their children.
Consider the time you have as a blessing to prepare for your unborn child
Good Luck and Congratulations:-)

I can't remember it all, my youngest is 21 and I'm sure times have changed

Hang in there. It will happen faster than you think. Also, keep in mind, the "baby thing" happens in waves. It seems like everyone is pregnant at the same time. Just keep in mind, that towards the end of your pregnancy, you may be the one that gets to see your baby first and everyone else has to wait. Cheer up and enjoy being pregnant at the stage you are in.

I went thorough this same thing when I was pregnant with my son. There were six of us in my family that were all preggo and I was the last one due. I had to go through being at the hospital and seeing each and every one of them be born before I could have mine, and it sucked. Let me tell you this, though; after it was all over, I totally missed being pregnant. Enjoy being pregnant and don't rush it! It's wonderful when you are able to have your baby right there with you all the time. When he or she is born, you won't have that advantage anymore :(

You cannot force you baby to come early and still be healthy like everyone elses baby. Take a deep breath and try to relax. Also think about the fact that you still have 6 months of wonderfull sleep....they ladies that already have their babies...are maybe getting 4 hours of sleep a night.

nicely, in case you turn jobs now you heavily isn't lined by FMLA. you ought to be there for a minimum of three hundred and sixty 5 days and that they must have a minimum of 50 workers. which potential in case you do no longer tell them for the time of your interview which you're pregnant and then spring it on them later you're much less possibly to have a job to return to after your infant is born. They legally won't ought to hold your pastime for you. Now, in case you have been to stay at Walmart, you will possibly have pastime stability, and that they might ought to hold your pastime for you. (You did no longer say how long you have labored there, yet i assume by the time the newborn is born which you're able to have been there a minimum of a 300 and sixty 5 days). no rely how infantile the different workers are, you ought to think of roughly your infant and not the others around you.
