I'm 37 1/2 weeks and i'm going nuts also. I don't know what's worse, waiting for your period to not start or waiting for the baby to be born.

I hear that one.. I think this is worse than waiting for the period!! Honestly I would love to go into labor right now.. I know after a week of no sleep ill want to put her back in lol... Its just this stomach is too big for my taste and her lil feet love to play with my ribs. So im definitely ready.. Bring it on contractions!!!!

in no time you will be wanting baby back inside, after 2 months you'll be happy hes out lol! Honestly you feel relieved at first but when baby goes home its a whole different story.

The waiting part sucks, I remeber out of all people what it feels like, my son was due feb2 and didnt come out till feb9 and he was #2, my daughter came right on her due date. All I can say is enjoy your last few days as best you can!!!

i was 37 weeks. Gestationally, .Oni was only 35 weeks. She was 6lbs8oz&19 1/2in long. Which is a couple of ounces bigger than an average 35week old baby!

Thank god she was little as I had no medication for her birth. I still ripped, but it wasn't bad at all!

She gained her weight quickly. We just had to monitor her a lot because she was soo small. We had to watch her temp a lot.

But she's 18lbs now...So her birth weight is looooooonng gone!

Good luck yall!!!!!!!!!

this usually isn't a choice you get to make. Your doctor will determine if there is something wrong with either you or the baby and take the induction route if he deems it best for baby outside of you. More often than not though, the baby is better off inside you.

I know these are hard weeks at the end. But, really, we've all got to go through them - and they are only weeks, not years or months or forever. There is a light at the end of the tunnel.

I've said it countless times, relax. Enjoy your time for you. In a few weeks you will not get any. In a few weeks you'll be begging for a nap alone.

Take a bath - you won't get one for years alone. Watch some movies - you won't get one interupted for awhile. Sleep the whole day away. Go shopping with your friends. Do something. Sitting around the house is the worst part of waiting. It's like you don't have anything else going on other than the baby.
