20 days left approx. to gir birth :D

I am pregnant with my first baby and I am 20 days away from my due date. I haven't had contractions and I'm beginning to wonder if my going birth will surpass my due date because I haven't had any contractions. I'm super excited to be a mom and I am a bit impatient about having this baby! All my baby equipment is reay to go and I've washed all my brand new baby clothes.. I'm sooo exited but a lil scared about the actual labor part :,( all everyone ever has to say about labor are bad things :,(

You'll be fine hunni. Just remember if it gets too much u can have an epidural to make your labor pain free. Good luck x

Im 16 days away and have been having contractions now for a week. I have a daughter already and labor with her was about 19 mins. I was dilated 8 cm but my water didn't break, as soon as my midwife broke my water she made her appearance. My contractions are not to the point where I need to call my midwife, so I know its not real labor as yet, plus I have a very high tolerance for pain lol. Dizzybo you will be fine, you will be surprised at how strong you are during the labor process. Remember we as women have a higher tolerance for pain, we were built God tough;). Mama relax get rest, you will need it. Best wishes.

I had false labor with my first 2 weeks before his due date. The next week it was time and I remember being scared. I ended up having 13 hours of total labor. It's best to just relax through most of It. When you are getting close to having your baby your labor pains will be so close you don't have much time to rest. Like not even a minute. Once it's all done, it is so worth it. I have had 5 babies & pregnant with our 6th. Every story is different and all my births where different. Good luck!!
