had to rant

My sister doesnt understand I told her that if I had the baby at 32 weeks more than likely he'll do just fine and im ready to have him soon even today I went to get a 4d ultrasound and im measuring at 35 weeks and hes 5lb with his head down so I called her to tell and shes like thats stupid to want him to come early im like how my first was at 38 weeks at 6lbs 10oz and she got all irratated so I we got off the phone it feels like she doesnt understand I dnt know if its because she never had a baby or what but I wish she would understand!

I know what you mean about pains! I've been getting them in my hip since I was around 10 weeks. Lately when I wake up in the night, I can barely walk because of how bad it hurts. Even so I'm still so paranoid about her coming early. My paranoia is mainly since if I have the baby before 37 weeks, I have to go to a hospital (I'm planning for a birthing center). Only 4 days and I'm in the clear! Healthy is all I want as well! And remember, Annie, it comes so much faster than you think. D-day will be here and gone before you know it :)

I'm 36+3 also. I've been dealing with the cramps & pains for the past weeks but its all just part of the show. Your sister should do some research & read up on when everything is fully deveopled in baby. As much as I want my little bundle I would be more than happy just to have her in another week or 2. I want to take her home with me when I leave the hospital.

32 weeks is still pretty early for a baby to come. Although if a baby were to be born at 32 weeks they would more than likely survive, every day and every week matters. I'm 36+3 weeks and I still get worried about her being too early. The problem with ultrasounds is that they aren't extremely accurate when it comes to the size of the baby. I understand the want for your baby to come, because 9+ months is a long time to wait to meet your little mini, but you still want to make sure they are healthy and able to thrive. Especially since you are having a boy, likely his lungs are not fully developed yet (girls' lungs usually develop faster). If you have him too early, he will likely need a nicu stay. I know it's hard but try to be patient; you are almost there! :)
