Just curious..

I see so many women wanting to have their babies early and trying to imdice labor on their own or NY doctor. Why? I mean, I know the last weeks can be really miserable, trust me, I know. I was nearly two weeks late with my daughter. I just think we need to be more patient of our babies and bodies, inducing labor causes more stress to the body. Sometimes, we have to. But when you're 38 weeks and just want to have your babu cause it's convenient for you, I think you should rethink. Cherish those barrell rolls and kick, because I promise you'll miss it. Just my thoughts.

For me I was to the point where I could hardly walk. If I want lying down, I was in too much pain and uncomfortable. I basically stopped functioning when I got to the end of my pregnancy because it was just too painful otherwise. When I was induced and had to sleep on that labor bed was the worst! I do miss it, sometimes; knowing she's safe and healthy. My hips and pelvis still hurt like I've got 8 pounds sitting on them though. It's better with her out xD

I totally agree with you!! I was almost 42 weeks when I had my first and I didn't mind a bit or think about self inducing bc I knew that she was safe and sound where she was. And I definitely missed being pregnant after I had her. I'm 29 weeks today with my second and can't believe how quick it's going by and I'm already starting to miss being pregnant even though I still have a ways to go.
