officially full term today!

Today marks 37 weeks! This baby could come any time! Eeek. I'm so nervous and scared and excited. After my 2 miscarriages I never thought I would have a baby.  And here I am. Full term with my precious baby boy. And starting to wonder. Am I ready? Will I be a good mom? I'm so full of every different emotion I can't stand it!

I got most of the stuff I have from friends and family. Well over a 1000 dollars worth of stuff just handed to me. I am so thankful for that.

Its been 11 years since I had my last,  and I'm 25w now.  I feel so unprepared.  I had my first 18 months apart so I still had all the stuff for my second from my first.  I have nothing now.  I'm also older and am afraid I won't be able to keep up with the new baby.  It's normal to feel unprepared,  regardless if it's the first or the 5th.  Good luck to you and congress on your full term baby!

According to all the paperwork I got from my doc. 37 weeks is full term. Meaning that if I were to go into labor they would do nothing to stop it. I dont know why I miscarried but it was hard. I am just thankful that this lil guy made it! I'm glad to know I'm not the only one who doesn't feel ready. And your not even a first timer lol

I thought full term was 38weeks? Im sorry about your miscarriages maybe at that point in time god didn't believe it was the correct moment! We're all never ready enough for a baby even if you have kids lol I don't feel ready and im only left with 58days I have 1 son and 2 daughters my youngest is 10 months and I think I already forgot how to hold a baby lol.! You're as ready as you'll ever be and you'll be a great mommy! So don't be nervous hang in there everything will come naturally!
