Me too. I'm trying to wrap things up at work, telling myself 4 more days till my maternity leave begins ( lots to catch up in our nursery once I'm home) and I have people asking if I'm going to make it to this Friday! I will still have 3 more weeks to go until Jan. 8th. This is my 3rd child and I hope to get enough time at home before she arrives. My mother has been bugging me if "any day now" since Thanksgiving! I finally had a talk with her about not asking me until after Christmas.

Me too this is our second baby but our first boy I couldn't be more excited to have him but he can stay in as long as he needs to I'd rather him be healthy when he is ready we had our first at 32 weeks and I don't want another early baby

I completely agree!:)

At first I was then when I had a taste of what contractions feel like I'm in no rush take your time son I can wait for that pain!!!!

Same! I want her to stay in as long as possible! I'm starting to get really sentimental about the last few weeks with my boys before we add a new person to our family, especially with the holidays coming.. I had an appt this morning, I'm 36+1 and my midwife said she's engaged, super low and in position. She doesn't think I'll make it two more weeks. I'm hoping to prove her wrong though, I was really hoping she'd stay put until January. My last baby was born at 38+5 so I was hoping for at least that! I NEED it to finish preparing!

Me everytime I go anywhere they are like oh are you ready and be of course it's so annoying. And I hate it when they say oh maybe she will come early and I'm always like yes because it's my dream come true to have a premature baby ?

Id be worried something was wrong if he tried to come anytime before 39 or 40 weeks. My other two were 42 weekers lol I'm not expecting this one to be much different and it doesn't bother me.

Yes excited to see my baby and not be pregnant but have no interest on this baby coming before she is ready.

My usual response when people at work ask if I'm "so done" Is "Done with work: yes! Done cooking baby? Nope" I'm so ready for my maternity leave (starting Wednesday)

I'm horribly uncomfortable and tired and obviously can't wait to meet my little baby. But I want him/her to stay inside for as long as itneeds. The most important thing is that baby is born healthy and not my own comfort.

I'm with you! Take your time and finish growing in there. I want you to be as healthy as possible.

I always just say, "I am ready, but he is not. He still has time. His health is more important than my uncomfortableness"

I'm not in any rush at all!

She can come out whenever she wants to!!

Even though I do want her here and I want to be able to hold her, to me it's more important that she is completely healthy and ready when she comes out :)

My dad made this long fb post about how I'm having my baby "any day now". That was 3 weeks ago, when I was only 31 weeks! I wanted to comment on his post how he was way off and how I hoped my baby didn't come 9 weeks early but I just kept my comments to myself.

I am ready to be done. However, my baby girl can still in there as long as she wants. This isn't about me, it is all about her. I actually hope I go over for her sake!

I'm glad someone finally said this on here. Makes me sick to my stomach when tons of other people say they are doing stuff to get labor started and they are only 36wks!!! I actually have to be induced at 37wks because I have pre-eclampsia. Which makes me very nervous because she will be three weeks early. I wish she could stay in there until she is ready, and I don't know why people want to their babies out so early!!

Ditto:-)!

I'm a ftm and i loooove feeling all his little movements I'm gonna miss it!!! I'm excited to meet him too obviously but I love carrying him even with the back and pelvic aches and needing to be pushed off the bed by my husband in the morning:)

I have a three year old and an 18 month old. It is WAY easier to care for my baby now!! I'm tired, don't feel like moving half the time- but she is nice and comfy, and I'm content for her to stay that way at least until her "due date." Also don't want her coming early and having the stress of being in the NICU. Happy to be cooking my baby girl over here, and so not over anxious to have her earth-side yet. :)

I've only had ppl say not long now, but they've started saying "any day now".

NOO i'm 37 wks tmorrow and booked for my 3rd c-section in just 20 days.

It may not be long away but i need and want baby to stay in there for that day, so fed up of explaining it wouldn't be good full term or not for me to go into labour before then cause it would be chaos, getting one of the grandparents to comeover for the kids and possably getting the hospital to send out transport for me to get to the hospital for an emerency c-section, ppl seem to have no clue about c-sections unless had them themselves and think I can have a viginal birth.

And i don't like ppl saying maybe a christmas baby either.... Would mean the same chaos but bang on xmas eve or day.

Not what we want for christmas, i want my new year baby.

I'm fine with my daughter staying in til my due date. I had a placenta abruption at 33 weeks and it just scared the crap out of me, now I just pray she stays in til 37 weeks but I would be even more thrilled to make it to 39 or 40 weeks. I know several ppl who went into labor at 37 week and still ended up in the NICU and I pray this baby or any of my future children never have to be in the NICU.

Yes. We are team stay in. I need my little guy in as long as possible, he needs to have as much time to grow as possible, I need more time with my daughter, and to finish getting everything ready for him. I am loving feeling his big self move around. Very excited to meet him but just need some time. 36+6

This is my third baby (second little girl) and I'm okay if she stays until her due date. I want to spend as much time with my 2 older kids through the holidays as possible. They are 3.5 and 1.5 years old and I'm nervous about adding another baby to the mix! Hubby has been wanting her here since his birthday (12/5) and I said any time after Christmas- I'm due 1/2/15. As much pain as I am in, it's worth it to spend some time with my kids and hubby, just us, before baby girl gets here and we have to readjust our "normal".

I am ready to be done myself but want her to stay in there!! I am sore achy and tired and taking care of a 2 year old so would love it to be January already lol but I know this pain will be gone soon and I enjoy feeling her in there and this is my last pregnancy and won't get to experience this ever again! I will be having a repeat c section at 39 weeks although I would love for her to stay till 40 or longer it isn't an option so as long as she stays till 39 I'll be happy

So glad my family knows better then to say anything like that loll. Even though I'm exhausted, and ready to give birth, my little prince isn't ready, I'd rather him be ready and healthy, and stay in along as it takes for him to be full term then to have him hooked up to many wires and having a hard time in his new found world.

I know how you feel I be like umm no rush he can stay as long as he want

I feel the same way! I'm 33.2 weeks and there's a chance I might have to get induced at 37 weeks if on the 23rd it's determined I have uterine growth restriction. Everyone's like, "oh that would be great, you can meet her sooner!" No! It would be ideal for her to stay in and develop and come when she supposed to! I mean if she has to come early it is what it is but I just want her to be healthy. I know exactly what you mean!

Oh yeah! I don't want to have my baby need be hooked up to all kinds of monitors and breathing tubes. And I definitely want my little booger to leave the hospital with me when I'm discharged. No rush here.

Yes! I'm exhausted in every way but having my 1st at 34 weeks baby boy can just stay put!
