The final countdown to birth is basically a crazy mix of emotions that all contradict one another. Here's what every woman thinks in the last weeks of pregnancy, as she waits to go into labor.
I can?t wait for this to be over. So done. SO DONE!
I don?t want this to be over. Pregnancy is such a special time. Sniff.

 
I'd better document this because it's going to be over soon. Proceeds to take a zillion bump selfies.

Oh crap. Am I ready" Washes baby clothes, obsessively organizes nursery, reorganizes hospital bag.
I am so uncomfortable. I can't do this anymore. My feet, ankles, calves, hips, back, sides, head all hurt.
I am going to have a real, live baby. OMG! Is this really happening" This pregnancy flew by. It seems like just yesterday I found out I was having a baby! Now he's almost here.

I've been pregnant forever. Longest. Nine. Months. Ever.
I'll do anything to get this baby out. Cut me open, saw my head off, whatever. I want him out!!!
I'm terrified to give birth. What if I can't handle the pain" What if something goes wrong" I don't want to give birth.
Did the baby drop" Polls every friend and family member.
Am I leaking amniotic fluid" Or is this just discharge"
Googles "signs of labor" incessantly. Every day.
This is the last time I'll ever... have a date night out alone with my husband, get a pedicure, be alone with my other child... etc.

I'm starving. What can I eat&quo...
