Hey ladies. Well, im 36 weeks prego and on the forums I see people talking about how they're just "dying" and cant wait to not be pregnant, and having stuff happen to them like their mucus plug coming out, or really bad pains, or that I have a extremly large belly, or their baby has dropped..I dont know it just seems like my pregnancy is totally different. I know every pregnancy is different , but I haven't had any" problems" I guess . I mean guess thats good, but I just dont feel like im experiencing all the pregnancy stuff I should be, if that makes any sense. And im almost 40 weeks and it seems like I should be more worried, or more stuff should have happened during my pregnancy..Am I making anysense? :?

Don't worry, my pregnancy was the same way. The only "problems" I ever really had was heartburn and back ache. I didn't even really feel like I peed any more than normal, except when I woke up. I didn't lose my mucus plug until probably 38 weeks, and in the beginning of my labor they doctors said that ethan was still pretty high up. At the end of my pregnancy I could still "jog" up the stairs like I had before I was pregnant. You are perfectly normal. Every persons pregnancy is different. Consider yourself one of the lucky ones. I know I do!

I know how you feel...I'm 35 weeks, and i'm not experiencing a lot of those problems either.
My baby has dropped, and I pee all the time, but it's not a hassle. My belly isn't ginormus, and I don't waddle...I don't mind being pregnant at all. I'm happy that i've had such an easy pregnancy, and i'm gonna miss being pregnant when I have the baby. But i'm sure i'll get over that quick when I can fit back into my old clothes again.

You are sooo close! Good luck!

You sound like a friend of mine, she did not feel hardly anything until about the last week and 1/2 and then it all kicked in!
All of the best to you!
