Anyone else due Oct 23??

[Mel1895]

Its funny because all those years I was trying to get pregnant... it felt like EVERYONE around me was pregnant and I was always so envious and I would always wish that I was pregnant too so that we could go through it together. However, since I have been pregnant it feels like I am the only one in the world pregnant so thank god I have you girls and all your posts to remind me that I am not.

Anyway, anyone else due Oct 23? If so, how are things going? I just went for my 35 week scan and baby is 5lbs, measuring perfect and so far so good. I need to pack my bag but I have no idea what to take and I still need to find a good pediatrician and for some reason I am not nervous or scared about labor or delivery... how are you girls doing with all of this??

Me
Baby number 3 for me, I had 2 good birth experiences so far on my last son I had no pain relief and a quick labour no stitches etc but I'm still dreading having this baby. Oh well it has to be done lol!!!
Are you all organised? I finally finished off my baby shopping yesterday got my monitors, car seat base, bottles, soothers, sponge, top & tail bowl, bottle brush and a few other bits I needed, I don't think DH has checked the bank acc since yesterday morning as he hasn't said anything yet as I did over spent, ever so slightly lol!!!

hehehe... I'm due the day before (22nd October) so i thought id say nearly me!
This is my 3rd pregnancy and this one has got to be THE most scariest by a long shot. I am real nervous for some reason. I swear its because i am convinced that i am going to go into labour and it all happen so quickly that i won't have any time to think and my kids are going to witness the whole experience and be scarred for life... my brain is working overtime...

Good luck ladies

yay! I am so happy you replied! I am not organized at all... my OB was telling me all this stuff I should already have done and I had none of it ready! So yesterday I registered at the hospital and today and I said I will get my bag ready but have yet to get out of bed. lol. as far as stuff for the baby... I had two great baby showers and got everything we needed but that has not stopped husband and I from buying TONS more stuff but in our case it is a team effort. We had our 1 year wedding anniversary last week and said we would go shopping and can each buy something we want but came home with nothing but baby stuff!

I'm due October 23 too! This is my first baby-a boy. I'm excited, but nervous and scared too. We still don't know what he is going to sleep in at this point. We keep going back and forth between bassinet and the fisher price rock and play sleeper. We figure the first couple months at least, we want him in out bedroom with us since I am going to try to nurse. We just have limited space in our bedroom....

I am having a boy too! His name will be Andrew Bryce Cordaway... what name do you have picked out? We have a whole nursery set up for him but I still dont think I can sleep away from him in the beginning so we have the bassinett in our room. I just know I am going to be very paranoid and over protective especially in the beginning. For some reason, I just cant seem to be scared or nervous about the whole delivery process. Perhaps because this is my first baby and I have no idea what I am in for. But I am just so excited for him to finally be here that I think maybe I am just ready to get over with.

We're so terrible on names....we haven't decided yet. But may have it narrowed down to Brandon or Mason. I'm scared to death of everything, the delivery process, the bringing him home process and the raising him process, LOL! I'm excited too, but really scared. I'm 38 and this being our first baby, our lifestyles are really going to change a lot. I have a lot of friends who have kids going into college now and I'm just having my first, LOL!

I'm having my baby on Oct. 24th at 7:30am- so close! LOL (I am due the 28th, but will be having my 4th c-section)

I need to get set up with a pediatrician too....I have a family doctor for my kids/hubby, but I want to switch over...I just haven't done it yet...I am so behind on everything- I've been feeling like crap and have been so unmotivated for anything. I shouldn't be on the computer right now in fact...I should be working on the nursery which I still haven't even begun to work on!!! I have my baby shower tomorrow, so hopefully that will like a fire under me to get stuff done!!! lol

It's hard to believe we're almost at the end, isn't it??

I am due 23rd too, I'm in England so no scans for us since 20 weeks so while I am scared I am just wanting to Meet our baby. It's our first so I have no idea what labour will be like and I am convincing myself it'll be fine.

Anyone taking raspberry leaf? I started yesterday Taking 2 a day and a few of the teas a week

Im due on 23rd with my first too - a little boy. We're going to have him sleeping in a moses basket (basinette) in our bedroom as Im planning on breast feeding. Im worried about the labour too as this is my first baby so not sure what to expect, planning to have a water birth, depending on whether I can take the pain or not!

hiya im due 24th
im in the same boat as u- i have no prego friends, their babies r already toddlers. i find it strange bcos i assumed that they wud b really supportive & give me some advice or at least interested in my pregnancy but ive found them to be quite cold with me its almost as if theyre jealous bcos their babies r older now???? horrible.
i have my 36 week appt next week but we dont get scans after 20 weeks in the UK unless there was a problem in developement etc so i have no idea wot size my baby is i dont know the sex either so its all a big guessing game for me!! cannot wait tho- 4 weeks on monday!!!

@hopefully85 I feel that too! like everyone who already had kids are jealous or something now. I am thinking maybe because for the last couple of years they and their kids were getting all the attention and now that I am pregnant they lost some of that. I think that because they always have negative things to say... like how big I am or how I am going to get tons of stretch marks or one lady even made a comment about how I am going to hate life after he is born because of all the extra work. (how ugly right??) It is like they want me to regret being pregnant or something. However OH and I were trying for three and half years to get pregnant and there is nothing in the world that anyone can say to make me feel one ounce of negativity about any of this I am all smiles all the time...

I'm due 26th so close enough! We have everything we need really, even the car seat is all set in the car all I need to do is wash some of the babys stuff and spring clean our bedroom!
I have my last shift at work tomorrow and even tho I've been excited to go, I'm starting to feel a little weirded out.. Like its all seeming so real and there's no turning back now!
However, I am incredibly excited for labour (I say this now!) And actually can't wait to feel those first real contractions! Its all so exciting!!
