I feel great ?

I'm 34 weeks along and I feel great.  Other than having trouble sleeping through the night. I would expect Braxton hicks, back pain, and other things. Not feeling anything so far along worries me that I'm gonna have a tougher birth than most women. Can anyone give me some advice or speak from personal experience?

If you can take a labor and delivery class, i suggest it. It helps ease your mind so much about what to expect and ways to relax. Most people in my class were 34-36 weeks along. Otherwise i've just read on pinterest and the net about everything else. And here of course!

I think that old saying, "easy pregnancy, hard birth" is nonsense. Everyone experiences birth differently. I'm also 34 weeks and while I've had my share of BH, I feel pretty fine as well. I'm with you, just staying asleep all night is my only real complaint. :P I guess we'll find out in 6 weeks or so!

I'm nervous too don't get me wrong cause I also don't have a clue what to expect plus I hate hospitals but I'm trying to keep positive.  Mind over matter and we will pull through and will be holding our babies before we know it.

I'm a ftm and I'm 33weeks so far been good. Just a lil soreness sometimes but I think it's because some day's I work myself a little more than usual.  Other than that I'm fine. Hopefully my labor is fast

I've been good as well and at 38 weeks. I don't think i will have a tougher labor. I think it is what you make it. If you go in thinking you're gonna have a tough one and are stressed, theres a good chance you will. If you go in relaxed, prepared and positive, i think that will help a lot in setting the tone of your labor. The more stressed you are, the more stressed the baby can get, and so on.  Id say enjoy the great feeling (i know i do) because every day is different. My good friend had an easy pregnancy like me and said her labor was super easy compared to what she expected if that helps. We are both 1st timers.
