Reasons to be cheerful - overdue!

[Celtic Dragon]

I know we're all moaning and wishing our pregnancies to be over, but I'm determined to be cheerful this morning!

Here goes (please add if you can think of anything!):

• Remember how long the 2 week wait felt - at least we're guaranteed a result...
• A due date is just a guess
• When we're waiting for our "LOs" to come in at midnight in 18 years' time, it'll feel an awful lot longer!
• We don't need a pram or car seat to go out
• No nappies (just our own discharge to deal with!)
• We can store up all the names and comments from "well wishers" and hope they have an overdue baby in the near future so we can use them in return!
• No one else can hold our babies or take over
• It's fun to shock people when you're out and you're asked when you're due - people think I might produce a baby there and then!
• We've got every excuse in the book why nothing's been cleaned/washed up/cooked.
  • There has to be an end point - not like trying to conceive in the first place.
  • One day we'll have forgotten what this feels like.

Ok, now I've been cheerful, baby can come out now!

I haven't quite reached being overdue yet, but I honestly think I will be.

- Just think you're wishing to have your babies now but in 18 years time when they're out late, haven't called, you're going out of your mind wondering where they are, you'll be sharp wanting to put them back in. Lmao

Thanks for that, I was due on 14th as well. I keep trying to tell myself that baby will come when it's good and ready and there's nothing I can do about it, but it is so frustrating not knowing when.........!

Thought of one more as I was reaching for the chocolate... You can eat whatever you like in the last few weeks because you're so big anyway it's not going to make much difference! (That's what I've told myself - not thinking of jelly belly afterwards at this point...!)

I'm not overdue but ...I'm scared of having my LO.. and a little upset about it...

No one else can hold our babies or take over

Baby is safe and snug inside.. and when she comes into the big bad world i won't be able to protect her like I can now

That is definitely a weirdly special feeling. I know everyone else means well, but I feel kind of jealous that anyone else would be able to look after LO after I've spent so much time with him/her! I'm sure I'll get over it once it's cried for 3 days nonstop!
