Hi Mylotters, I'm on my 28th week of pregnancy now. Few more weeks and I'll be seeing my first baby... I cannot explain the excitement I'm feeling everyday. I'm counting the weeks, the days, the hours...practicing breathing techniques so I'll be ready on the big day. I already prepared the things that i will bring to the hospital. And I'm also physically, emotionally and spiritually preparing myself for that very special day. I cannot find more words to express how i feel right now. But I know, all the mothers out there can understand me. Right?

Hello jasmin, Congratulations! It must be very exciting, indeed. I can't imagine what it feels like to be a mother, because i am a guy. Anyways, my best wishes to you and your daughter/son.

Hi,jasmin, i can fully understand you, because i am also a mother. first, congratulations to you. second, you should take good care of yourself to the coming baby. it is ok to do some searching and mylotting, but just remember never spend too much time on TV or computers. Try to take enough nutrition. and to get smooth when you give birth to your baby, please do some mild exercise,like walking.

Congratulations! This will probably be the most exciting time of your life, so enjoy it while it lasts.. your baby will be at university before you know it!! Time flies. Keep yourself calm and remember that whatever the pain, it'll all be worth it to see your beautiful little baby at the end of it xxx

Impending motherhood is the most exciting, but also the most nerve wracking experience of a woman's life. I totally understand how you're feeling. I've been through childbirth three times, and each time it was different. Out of all of them though, my Daughters birth was the most special. She was the only girl, born on the date they gave me, which also happened to be her Grandmother's birthday. Even now, almost 13 years later, the two of them have a very special bond. As far as the birth of your baby goes, I would tell you to relax and listen to what the delivery team tells you. They know their stuff, and most times, do a wonderful job of making you feel that you're in safe hands. Congratulations on your pregnancy and good luck on the birth of your child.

Just wanted to wish you luck, the birthing process is so amazing! I hope for your sake all goes smooth and a natural and healthy delivery is what you are granted. The pregnancy is rewarding but once you see that little tiny face you won't be able to compare another moment to what you feel! You will have a new meaning to life and everything you thought mattered will just no longer... I wish you lots of luck! Hope you keep up the positive process and though you are ready and packed for the trip in the end you will never feel prepared... LOL and just so you know. That baby could care less, he or she will play more with your plasitc than any of the toys you and your family and friends buy and all those adorable clothes.... yeah he or she would rather run through the house naked!!! Love is what matters... Cherish all your moments to come....

hello, Ohh, well congratulations! I am not yet a mother but when my mom is pregnant for my brother I was so excited too, I never thought what to feel when I see my cute little brother. I can see to my moms eyes that she really love and happy about the successful operation to our brother.That she can't even wait to see my little brother. And when she sees it all she do is to hug, and kiss him. good luck to you

During my time i have mixed emotions. I am both excited and scared for I know it won't be that easy. Having gone through labor is one of the most painful thing i have experienced in my life but i guess it is the most gratifying also. After seeing your baby, all the pain will somehow be replaced by happiness and gratification. Anyway, it's good that you are preparing yourself for the big day. Once it's there, you'll have no time to pack your things so as early as now, it's good that you have already prepared what you and your baby will be needing upon admission and delivery. I wish you a safe pregnancy and delivery. Take extra care of yourself and try to watch what you are eating so that the baby won't grow that big while he or she is still inside you. The bigger the baby, the harder it will be for you to push. Whatelse?! Talk to your baby while he or she is still inside your womb. Tell him or her that you are dying to see him or her and that you are hoping that he or she will not give you a hard time on the big day.

I too feel the same with my son, though when you are in your second trimesters you will really feel excited, happy with fear and anxiety too but I'm glad at least you have prepared yourself in all aspects. You really need those for the coming of your baby.
