Am I being selfish or a bad mother?

I feel so bad for feeling this way but here is the story...I'm 36 weeks and becoming more uncomfortable everyday, is it selfish of me to want my baby to arrive one or two weeks early? I feel so bad for hoping I go early because I know the longer she is in the better for her but my gosh being pregnant at this point sucks! Sleeping is so hard and uncomfortable I wake up every hour or two just to roll over, the baby hurts me (I think she may have even bruised my side inside me), I'm hot all the time n become more irritable...I feel like such a bad mom for wanting the pregnancy over and her to be out finally...

We all want that @ some point. Lol, don't feel bad

That's how I feel. I wake up every 2 hours. Which is good practice for when the baby comes(: but it still sucks. I get snappy all the time now & I'm hot all the time. I sleep with my fan on full blast & my ac on. I'm 37 weeks, so I just keep telling myself I only have 2 weeks and 6 days lol.

Oh good I felt so bad! My cousin is due May 3rd and she wants him to stay in even longer then that it made me feel bad because I want her out in a week or two lol plus my midwife told me she won't induce unless I'm 42 weeks! If I got that long I will cry

lol, I'm 21 weeks and ready for this baby to come now. You're definitely not alone.

Lol I think a lot of pregnant women wish that. Technically, your baby's at full term, but like you said, its better for them the longer they're inside. I'm 20 weeks and hoping baby will come a little early

baby releases a hormone to trigger labour when his/her lungs are ready to breathe. The last 5-6 weeks are the hardest but it does condition you to wake up often once the little one is born it wont be such a shock to the system. Hang in there and do the natural things you can to bring baby faster: walking, sex, sleep, kegels, and red raspberry leaf tea to strengthen your uterine muscles. Relax as much as you can and take care!

I don't blame you I'm 37 wks and I'm sooo ready for my baby to get here! My OB said he won't induce me until I'm at least 39 wks if he can help it.. but I guess its all for the best. Don't worry! We're almost to the finish line mama!
