At last, I'm in my 39th week of gestation! I would be meeting my boy in a week. How excited I am, I have my share of ups and downs in this pregnancy and I am very happy it's going to be over soon. I have everything prepared but it seems like I am getting anxious. Like I get a bit scared, been worrying how he would be, if hes healthy, what he look like and so on.. To all mothers out there, have you felt this, too when your babies are about to come out? I think it is okay, maybe its part of the excitement! Well, I hope you help me pray and may God bless me with a healthy baby! Thank you and happy Mylotting!

It is definitly the excitement of expecting your new addition to the family!! Congrats also When I was due, my son was a week late and my doctor had to induce me to get him out! I immediately went home and packed my bags and straight to the hospital I went. I was in labor for about 32 hours and finally it came time to push. After an hour and a half my mom was there with me and she got mad at the doctors for doing this. They decided to give me a C section and when they pulled him out I was so afraid to look at him until my mom told me he looked perfect! I think c-sections are the easiest way to have a baby but it's rough when it comes to healing up. Takes at least a couple of weeks. I wish you luck and enjoy you're new baby

I wanted to have a normal delivery so I could enjoy the first days of my baby. I don't want to not be able to take care of the baby because I am in a physical healing process. But either way, whatever is okay for the baby. My doctor said my baby is big so she asked me to be quite prepare for pushing him out!

Aww shynie, congratulations and good luck! This is a very exciting time and most mothers do feel exactly how you are feeling right now. If you think it's exciting right now, just wait until you are in labor and know for sure you will be holding your son in a matter of hours or even just minutes! That is a really incredible feeling! Keep us updated on how you are doing!

I just hope he is not like my little man he was suposed to come on the 22 march he came on the 3th april with the help of the doctors he was too lazy to come out. Yes I felt all of that and every move in the last few weeks was followed by a panic attack thinking that was it. Boy was I wrong when the time came I sure knew that it was the real thing. I wish you all the best may you have a fast and safe delivery and may you little one be healthy and safe and may he bing you all the love, care and happines in this world.

Welcome to the MOM CLUB! And of course..evey woman in history has felt as you do during that last week or so! My daughter is only 6 weeks behind you and already a bit nervous, but we are keeping her calm! Nothing to fear. People make birthing sound scarier than it actually turns out to be and you'll do great! -Women have been having babies since there HAVE been women on Earth! It's not an illness, like alot of male doctors would have you believe?.If they couldn't make cash off delivering them, we'd still be having them just fine at home, I think..It's a wonderful event! When I had my kids I had wonderful nurses there. We (my hubby and I)joked and lauged in between contractions and it wasn't bad at all..relax! As you saw..even a 17 year old with no one home was able to have a baby and walk to the hospital and they are both fine. LOL! Next week this time you'll get to see your little one and bring the baby home, cuddle and in a few weeks you'll be back to your normal self and playing and singing little lullabies to your little pumpkin! Congratulations in advance! New life is always a great miracle!!

I am happy for you. I will pray that everything will be alright with you and your baby. I am not yet a mom though. Well, not officially. I just recently had a miscarriage. It's my first pregnancy, I am 43 years old and I lost my first baby. I am still griving and worried if I will be able to get pregnant again in the future. I am hopeful and praying for that. And I had to admit, I am jealous of you. I wish I could tell you how it feels but then, you know I can't. I wish I will be able to experiece the excitement that you are feeling right now. Congratulations. May you and your baby will be alright. God Bless you both.

Congratulations on your upcoming baby. I pray that it is healthy also. I will keep you in my prayers. May God bless you both when you go to delivery. I wanted a boy but had a girl but I am very happy with her. I have had her healthy as can be for 16 years now. Good luck to you both also.
