4th baby

I am currently 35-36weeks pregnant!! Not quite sure exactly since early on I was sick & wasn't sure my last period date. Also, wasn't expecting another baby.
It took some getting used to but NOW I just can't wait to meet my new baby boy. Already have 2 girls ( 10year old & 2, and a son 5 yr).
Now, I am feeling anxious all the time - I keep thinking --> is it time?? Is it time?? Also, I am getting the contraction pains, walking is hard - can feel the pain at the lower ab area, feeling hot & bothered all the time even in an air-cond room, need to go to the ladies all the time. Also, gained more than 20kg already!! So,
I'm really, really ready to have my baby. On top of that, even though this is my 4th baby, I'm still scared/worried I can't take the labour pain. i don't know how to explain --> I know the rewards & stuff but I'm still scared.

Anyways, all the best to you MOMs-TO-BE and wish me all the best too.

difficultues

hi there, i am curently feeling more tired each day, i cant sleep at night, it feels like someone is trying to strangle me when i try to sleep, my belly is aching a lot, frequent urinating at night is worsening and my feet and hands swell any time of the day but i am trying to take it on the positive mote that soon i will be holding my bundle of joy in my arms soon.

I am on my last trimester and currently working roe about eight hours, but i will soon talk to my manager to work at least half day my body is telling me to take it easy from now on, I dont want anything to happen to my baby and looking forward to meet him/her.

My First Little One!!

Well this is my first pregnancy and my husband and i are supposed to be having a girl so i hope the doctor is right cause everything is pink!!! hahaha Im 34 next week and my husband is 22, first baby for both and we are due in about 3 weeks. We are both eager to see our baby and i am just over being pregnant now!! I have to say i really cant complain though, besides the usual pregnancy problems of sickness, headaches, backaches, swollen hands and feet, lack of iron, itchy dry skin and the like, its been a breeze!!! hahaha Seriously though none of my problems have led to anything major and we are just happy to be welcoming our baby girl into the world sooner rather than later!!! :-)

Its a Boy!

Hi everyone, I am 35 years old and 28 weeks pregnant with my second child. Our first child, a girl, is now 2 years and 4 months old. We fell pregnant with her within the first 3 months but was a little bit anxious this time around because it took us about 12 months to finally see a positive sign on our pregnant test. We are so delighted and it is a huge bonus to be told we are having a little boy. As usual I worry about alot of things but I am doing really well this time. A few uncomfortable things but feel I am exercising more and eating more healthily this time around. We are due around Christmas and the New Year and will find out at our 36 week appointment when the scheduled C-Section will be. After a 14 hour labour with my little girl we were forced to have a C-Section but at least she came out healthy and I was okay. So this time around we have to have another C-Section! Anyway goodluck to all mums to be out there, hope it all goes well. All we are hoping for this Christmas & New Year is for a very happy and healthy little boy.
