Bit of a rant...

So as my due date draws nearer (8 days )
and all signs of early labour have dissapeared
Im beginning to think she will never come out
I really want her now, but I heard that babys
movement slows right down in the last few days
coz she is resting fr her journey! However my LO
seems to be having a leaving party and seriously
moves about 22 hours out of the day! I can't sleep,
eat, sit comfortabley coz she is constantly raving
on and making me feel really uncomfortable.
Its also dawning on me thats its highly possible I
will be giving birth on my 18th birthday Some may
say the greatest gift ever, but I'm not too sure. I'd
prefer an ealry or belated birthday present, really
don't fancy hospital on my birthday! Am i being selfish?
My due date is the 16thApril, as was my own when i
was being born however i came on the 21st..what are
we betting on repeated history?

Anyone got used to the fact that there babies comfortable
and has stopped thinking shes gonna come every second?
its getting me down, i really want her now, i keep looking
at her 4d scans and just wishing i can see her proper face in the
flesh its like i miss her and i havent even met her

My due date is 6th May my 21st Birthday is 5th May so i was hopeing baby wouldnt come on my birthday. I am now scheduled for a c-section on the 24th April due to complications so im releived i wont be spending my time in hospital like i was on my 18th as i was pregnant then too!!

Your baby will come when she is ready you have been getting signs maybe they are just building up, stopping and then will happen again. Body getting prepared! Before you know it bubs will be in your arms

I keep getting really childish about it though and sitting there crying coz i cant have her, i really am deperate to meet her. Im nto even anxious about the birth I am just like bring it on because im that eager to meet her
I think its about of hormones, im getting too depressed

I've actually heard the opposite about the baby's movement...some say movments slow down but my birthing coach said that isn't true. So maybe she'll come soon. Do lot's of walking....and all that other stuff

You should talk to your midwife if you're feeling depressed hun

She might be able to offer you some kind of reassurance. Don't worry about it too much hun, she may well come tomorrow :-)

Go have lots and lots of

I hope she makes a move sometime soon hunny and that you get to have your birthday at home :-)

I wouldnt really feel comfortable talking to my midwife about something like that. Ive had depression for a few years now, doctors arnt interested no more because i knocked back being tablet dependant for the rest of my life!
its like if they cant give u pills tehre not bothered. Its mad, im just having all these immense feelign of love for the baby and it makes me upset i cant cuddle her, its really silly!

I hope she comes soon!

Aww im sure she'll come soon babe xx

ahh u might b late, my daughter was due on the 8th december and arrived on the 23rd which meant a christmas day dinner for us!! i see your in liverpool thou i went the womens and they were fantastic and made xmas day feel best as possible, so im sure if its ur 18th on the day they will do something 4 u. x

i hope she comes soon hun xxxx
