So near... but yet so far?

[xJodieLoux]

Hi girls, hope you are doing well

Well I was just wondering if anydody else felt the same as me...

My due date is only 4 days away, but I feel like its a lifetime away until I will have my baby, almost like its never going to happen. I know this might sound awful but I sometimes forget I'm having a baby (maybe because there is so much going off at home at the moment). I haven't had any labour signs for days now, I'm feeling quite good physically, emotionally though I'm really down and un-socialable (ignoring friends calls etc). I'm just so fed up

yep this is how im feeling it seems so close, but like it is aaaaages away till we get to hold our baby!!

im just trying to keep myself busy each day, cooking, organising baby things, meeting mates, tidying (LOL) watching tv and of course coming on PF!! then hopefully the time is gonna fly by!!

dont worry.............very very soon we will have our bambinos!! xx

I know what you mean, its wierd that weeks ago i thought ohh it not long but now im down to days and its dragging! For me though its the lack of sleep thats getting me down but also im impatient now to hold my lo and find out if its a pink or blue one!

awww, it will be soon hun, remeber baby cant stay in there, either way you WILL have a little one in the next 2 weeks!!!!

I wish the due date was 100%, at least then we'd have something to aim towards.....it's the not knowing whether it'll happen tomorrow or in 4 weeks' time that's the killer for me!

After all the waiting we've already done, the last couple of weeks seem to be the longest. I worked up until last Friday and I thought that would make the time go but it didn't. I haven't been happy about the fact that I'm having a cesarean all the way along so at least I have some idea of when the baby should come (Friday this week) but it can't come soon enough. I can't sleep, I can't walk, I feel so heavy and I've had such pain in my lady bits that it makes my eyes water. I'm also fed up with being stuck in the house because I've had to give up driving the car because I can't safely reach the peddles any more. Argh! Going to go mad. Might get Himself to drop by Starbucks in the morning on the way home from the school run and then I think I may watch Some Like it Hot which always cheers me up!

Hi Jodielou - Im in the same boat! Im due on Wednesday. Im getting physically sick of analysing every little twinge or sneeze to guess if it might be labour starting! It seems so far away. I know what you mean re not answering calls and seeing friends etc, it seems hard when youve got this waiting game to play and you feel rubbish. I know I feel like a big uncomfortable grouchy hippo! But on the upside, at least we both have friends who are texting / calling us and showing an interest and affection. Thats a really nice feeling and we shouldnt forget it, however hard that feels sometimes! Im wishing you all the best - keep us updated, and I will too! Emily xxx

Thankyou for all your replies, nice to know I'm not alone

Yesterday I went to work with my Mum, she works in an employment agency office with one other person and I myself used to work there so I was quite welcome. Anyway, usually they eat lunch in the office but me and my mum went to the bar over the road and sat in to eat which was nice, we then popped into a couple of shops before taking my mums colleague some lunch back, bless him lol. Then at about half 2 I decided to walk home which is about 1 and half miles, even though I was nearly peeing myself and I was really feeling the strain, it made me feel quite good.

Today I've washed all of Jaida's 0-3 months clothes and they are all hanging on the line, I keep looking at them and getting all excited.

I'm trying to be more positive, but everyday that goes by makes me worry about maybe having to be induced which I really don't want, I want it to happen naturally.

Today is my due date according to LMP by the way, 24th is from scan, I'm going with the scan though.
