getting anxious!!

FTM my due date is 1-9-15 I'm 35w 1d with a precious baby boy! He is 5lbs 10oz and is right on track. I have been having more and more braxton hicks and feeling more pressure. I am not nervous to go into labor, but I am very anxious. I want to meet him and hold him in my arms. I would like to get to 37 weeks at least so that he is full term but can't help but to want to get the process started! Anyone else feeling this way?

I know how you feel I'm pregnant with twins and I'm 34weeks & 3 days and I can't wait to get them out they move way to much I actually have bruises that you can see..... my doctors said I had to atleast make it to 36 weeks and then I'm aloud to do what ever I need to tk jump start my labor. I have contractions  regularly and because of that have to do non stress tests every week some times twice a week. Oh I'm having a boy and girl!!!!!

I'm also due 1-9-15. And been having Braxton hicks a lot more often last few days. Got so worried I made sure I registered at the hospital. Nights, it's harder to sleep. Been a lot more uncomfortable and a lot more hungry the last 3 days. So weird

Nope not at all. The longer the baby can stay in the better for the baby to get the nutrients from mama and to gain fat. The only way a baby should be early is because of health issues.

I keep telling myself its all gonna be worth it! No one ever said it would be easy but you never really know until you go through it. This is my first and I plan on having at least one more! To finally see his face will be so rewarding. Its just getting to that point that has me going crazy!

It'll all be worth it in the end, right!?!?!? Lol!!
Although, I have an almost 14 year old daughter, so this isn't my first rodeo.

I'm 35+1 as well, with a boy. And I'm done. If I could, I'd have him tonight. This little dude LOOKS like he's trying to bust out, too.... my belly dances with every kick and punch he throws.  I don't sleep, I'm always in the bathroom, the heartburn is constatnt, and the swelling... oh the swelling!!
