ooooh sweetie, I know exactly how you feel.I gave birth last Thursday morning @ 2.30am and like you said was sh*tting myself. I had been in my own littel bubble for 9 months, then 2 weeks before I was due I burst into tears saying I had changed my mind and I didn't even like kids. It was like it had just suddenly hit me. I spent weeks worrying about the birth and wish I hadn't because I just wasted energy.

I think a few days before hand I just thought well it has to come out one way or another.

Oh god, I get fed up of thse questions too! The classic was "have you not had that baby yet"!! I wanted to smack anyone who said it. Was dying to reply, yweah course I ahve I just loved to heffalump look so decided to kee the massage belly!! Stupid people.

My only advice would be to trust your instincts. When I rung the MAU to ask advice and let thme know I was in labour they told me I wasn't. They said the pains I was getting weren't contractions coz they weren't all over my bump. I was getting them right under and in my back. Also because I went into labour on my due date they were even more adament. My instinct told me I was.

Good luck and believe me when I say if I can do it, then anyone can! Trust me!

think it's finally dawned on me that i'm actually gonna be havin a baby in the next 8 days and i'm now s*****n myself!

i've been gettin up for my usual nightly trips to the loo but then it's been takin ages for me to get back to sleep and i've realised it's cos i;m now worrying about pretty much everything. up till now i've been rather dillusional thinkin baby just gonna appear one day but i now realise i'm gonna actually give birth to my little man and then i'm gonna be responsible for him.

don't get me wrong i'm not completely stupid i knew this was what was gonna happen but it's like i've been in a little world of my own for the last 9 months growing this baby with nothing more than a bigger belly to show for it but in the next few days i'm gonna have to get him out!!

i'm also gettin fed up of people askin me now how long i've got and people guessin when he's gonna arrive,he'll be here when he b****y gets here.

even OH's ex asked him how long i'd got tonight, when he took the kids back and luckily i wasn't with him cos i'd of felt like tellin her to mind her own effin business got nowt to do with her(god i don't want that woman anywhere near my son)

sorry for long rambling post i'm very tired but can't sleep and needed to get this off my chest!!
hope evryine else ok
love laura +baby bump jack xx

Over 14 months ago and can remember thinking, oh my god, i actually have to give birth to this baby! Wasn't until i was actually being induced i thought that, lol
Scary thing is, i now know what to expect when it comes to actually giving birth this time, which i don't know if it is a blessing or not! lol
You'll be just fine and before you know it you'll have a beautiful baby. Good luck

But it was only 4wks ago! I got fed up with people asking questions too! As for "When is he going to arrive", only Jack knows the answer to that and he's keeping it to himself! I was getting up a million times each night for a wee and then couldn't get comfy again. I was tired and ratty - although I still am with the OH as I am doing the night feeds during the week!

I know its difficult but try not to worry too much about the birth. I thought I'd panic when my waters broke, but I was quite calm which really surprised me! It was like "Oh, I think something's happening!" rather than "WTF!" You will just go with it, it felt like my body knew what it was doing. I kept thinking how it would be when she arrived, but tried not to think about the birth. Try to keep busy getting everything ready for Jack, I found that took my mind of thinking too much.

By this time next week, Jack could be here!

Take care and don't worry - you'll do just fine!

what you mean , sort of.
I'm only 17 wks now and I was thinking about it yesterday. Because I've never had kids before at the moment I'm just pregnant and all I think about is the pregnancy and the changes of my body etc.
But its hard for me to visualise and remember what this is all really about - that there'll actually be a little person at the end of all this, someone I have to first give birth to and then worry about and look after - forever!
Don't worry though, it will all work out, for all of us, we all find a way to cope and do what we need to do. And its going to be fan-bloomin-tastic to be a mummy!!

i know exactly what you are saying hun, i wandered round in a state of obliviousness (if this is even a word?) until my waters broke i think!! then it was like ... next time im home we will have a baby, oh my fu**ing god!!!!! panic, everybody panic lol!!!

but seriously hun, your body just takes over and does what it naturally has to do. if it hurts too much then there are pain reliefs for you, hey, it cant be that bad, jen went and did it 5 times and leitia is up for a 5th!

oh, and people annoying you is just hormones, i was a psyco ... at the end (or, if you ask my oh all he way thru)!!
