I wanna keep baby in, not out

[Huni_b]

I see many women who are so done with their pregnancy that they want their baby out already.

I'm in week 35, and I'm quite comfortable having my baby girl in my tummy. despite the occasional pain or discomfort, I find it convenient that I can go wherever I want, do what I want, eat what I want.

I find it scary to think that after her birth I'll probably be home bound, busy changing her, feeding her, always be around her, handle her carefully and delicately.

I'm dying to see her, but I'm also nervous about her birth and life after.
looks like pregnancy is the easy part, and the hardest part is yet to come.

any thoughts ladies?

yes, i totally understand where y'all are coming from. Not everyone has been blessed with a smooth pregnancy and easy going for 9 months.

I have indeed had a pretty comfortable and relatively easy pregnancy so far. No morning sickness, no GD, not too much of back pain, and no other major complications. In fact, the pain and sleepless nights are just starting to begin now. My main difficulties in the past 8 months have mainly been emotional and to deal with family members (husband, in-laws, parents, and the death of my dog, etc.), but none of that really had anything to do with my pregnancy.

In the end, nothing compares to the joy i feel over every moment and how i like feeling my belly and knowing my baby girl is growing in there. I love being pregnant, and am enjoying this time. And maybe i'm just a lil scared of what's to come after she's born, because i'm used to the current state of things, and parenting will be a totally new experience for me. And i want to do it right!

I salute all you women, for overcoming high risk situations, emotional turmoils, medical complications, pains and discomforts during your pregnancies. I know you all are strong and doing the best you can for your babies to be born healthy and happy. We are all blessed with the gift of life, and there's no greater power than the ability to give life to another soul!

Wishing you smooth pregnancies and healthy babies!
God bless you all!

I have to agree with steph9509! I am 15 weeks with my second and I have had a horrible pregnancy so far. I have been hospitalised a few times with HG for dehydration and starvation and prior to pregnancy I was already disabled with ehler danlos syndrome and PoTS.  I knew the EDS would get bad but at 15 weeks I am already on crutches for my pelvis which is separating.  It is absolute agony and I've been told I'll be in a wheel chair before 30 weeks. I am also doing my PhD at the minute and the HG has affected it. HOWEVER I do not wish this pregnancy to hurry. I already am feeling the baby move and I can't wait to feel the same things I felt with my first. When the baby is out that feeling of just you and her/he is gone and I really missed that. So every day when I feel crap I remember how lucky I am that the baby seems healthy and happy. I went over with my first and she ended up 9lb 3 and I felt heavy and uncomfortable but I never wished her out. I understand the frustration but at the same time when the baby is born most mothers miss that connection.
Mums just can't win! lol.

I loved being pregnant!  I actually wanted to be pregnant longer- maybe even a few months more! However,  now I was diagnosed with cholestasis that can harm the babies (I'm having 2) if they stay there too long, I just want to have them now!!!! It is horrible 24/7 itching that comes with it. I have bumps all over my body except my face. I never knew itchy could be so horrible!!! Also, my knees hurt so much from all the weight. I basically can not go out anymore and I am on bed rest. If someone could take at least those two symptoms away them I would want to be pregnant for longer!!!I used to feel the same way as this post, but a few things have changed that

I have had a rough pregnancy sick, headaches, infections, back pain, contracting for a couple months due to infections, I get out of breath walking from one room to the next but I don't wish for one day that this pregnancy was over. I take all of those negatives and with one movement or hiccup it makes it all worth it. I am so tired of reading about people complaining about wishing it was over. Thank you for posting this it was refreshing. I'm 35 weeks as well by the way

Please please please post again about how you love it the day after your due date and baby is still comfortably inside your womb. My first was pleasant as well, until the end. Lol. Glad you're having it easy first time around!!

Ive had a miserable pregnancy and cant wait to have her (due nye) but with Christmas coming up and my 6 year old has alot of events coming up in the next two weeks I dont want to miss them! Ive missed alot in my daughters life because of work but now my husband and I are at the point to where I can stay home now and raise our daughters and not miss anything. So  im hoping shes going stay in my tummy till nye!

I didnt have a particularly good pregnancy with my daughter..i had bad morning sickness, low blood pressure and lots of fainting..bad back aches and a ptolapse that made walking difficult..but when she was born i remember about a week in wishing she could just go back inside for a little whole do i could get some sleep!so i do understand where your coming from..when they are little and sleeping lots..they are quite easy to take with you..i think its toddler age that your more restricted..so you may be able to do more than you think :)

I agree at 37+4 i feel great but there are some women that have miserable pregnancies and aren't as lucky as us. A friend of mine had preeclampsia and some people get put on bed rest at 28 weeks so yes for those women i can understand. For me however i try not to complain when i have back pain just because i know things could be worse.

I had a very easy pregnancy on up until now. I'm past due a week having contractions that hurt like I am dying I was just like you until 4 days ago lol

Your pregnancy might not have given you many problems that's why you don't mind, but coming from someone that has had a long, painful, complicated pregnancy I'm so over it. Of course I want him to stay in until he's completely developed but I can barely do anything right now due to this pregnancy.
