Yeah definitely! I wouldn't like to be constantly stopped and have my belly rubbed by strangers but at the same time there are situations where I would like it to be obvious I'm pregnant.

I'm gunna try and take a belly shot today!

<blockquote><b>Quoting army mom of 3 (+1):</b>" Congrats!!"</blockquote>

Thank You!  

Loving the bump pics and the lovely news on people having their babies!

I still have 3 weeks and the only thing making me want my baby here yet is the fact I want her here before Xmas. I still don't feel ready for her to come just yet as am still very anxious!

Seeing all of your lovely news is getting me excited though!

I started with contractions November 28th at night but I've been getting them nights & mornings. Then I woke up to them November 29th. They weren't regular till 10am. Got to the hospital at noon. Then didn't start active labor till about 5 & then bam! He was out at 7:54pm

I still can't believe he came 15 days early!   lol.

Me too! And is it your first? So close to xmas! Blah blah etc etc. Lol, some moments you just don't feel like telling these strangers all your business

Wow! We're you in real bad pain all that time then or just towards the end? I'm so anxious about labour this time round cause now I know what to expect!
It's silly really thought cos I coped fine with just gas and air. The bit I found the worst was when I got to 8cm when I felt I couldn't cope any longer!

I was lucky to have just a nine hour labour with my first so hoping this one is even quicker!

Yeah I bet! Did you have everything ready? Can't wait to see pics!

Transition is tough, but in my experience it wasn't the pain but the state of mind. It was so hard labouring from 8-10 but it wasn't so much the pain it was because I was hysterical and it made everything so much worse, lol.

I was in a lot of pain because after they checked my water broke! Then came the strong contractions.

Yes, we had everything ready for 2 weeks. You never know when to expect their arrival.

That's why my dr wanted to do a measurement u/s. Imagine if he came on time & not early! He could've been 9lbs or something! lol.
