Ohmygosh! It's just hit me. I've been having an emotional day, a bit roller coaster like but I've just realised tomorrow I'll be 30 weeks! The final countdown begins! Anyone else absolutely terrified! It's only now I'm starting to think about the birth. What are your questions/fears.
Also, I think my baby gets motion sickness.. Anytime I'm in the car and I hit 40 or 60.. He squirms around like crazy.. He doesn't like the car . So some gifs to sum up my emotions.
I realized today is the marker for 3rd tri for me. The nursery doesn't exist yet. Crazy that he will be here so soon! That and my body definitely feels like I'm further along. It's overwhelming to be getting worn out and bigger and still have SO MUCH to do!

I've decided (rightly or wrongly) to not think about the birth part too much. I'm going to a class and will educate myself but after that I'm going to put it out of my mind. Everyone I've spoken with says in the moment you aren't focused on being scared since you are doing something. I tend to be someone that pre-loads my stress and figure why bother, I can't get out if it at this point.

I hit 28 weeks tomorrow and "project nursery" is this weekend. Holy hell it is all becoming real!
There is a part of me that is anxious and nervous for L&D, but for the most part, I am pretty ready for it. I am just excited to meet him, see his face and share in the joy with DH!
I thought you were going to freak out about turning 30 and, old lady that I am, was going to snort. Freaking out about 30 weeks pregnant, on the other hand, I am right there with you... almost.

I'll be 28 weeks on Friday and that doesn't seem so bad but 30 seems like super hugely pregnant almost at the end. Not. Ready!! Soo so much going on in our lives at the moment, trying to buy a house and a car and find a part time sitter/nanny and potty train...I wouldn't mind if baby stays in until things calm down in September.

No . I wouldn't freak out about being 30 years old. I still have another 10 years before im 30 though. Yes 30 weeks pregnant is like wow to me!
I am 30 weeks, yay! I'm not freaking out, I am getting excited. The only thing I want to know about birth is am I going to have a VBAC or RCS. I'm so ready to snuggle up with my little boy.
Congrats to all the ladies entering third trimester.

My nursery is so far behind too! I best get my butt into gear!

Absolutely terrified? Yep, that's about right. Not about the birth so much as the parenting. And the Ph.D. thesis defense at ~3-6w pp. And the moving 900 miles and starting a new job/career with a 2-month-old. Yep, I don't know how we decided we could handle this.
I'm 30 weeks this coming Monday. Since I has DS at 33w3d Yep, I'm starting to freak out after being relatively calm and not overthinking the possibility of preterm again. I went to the city today and took a huge chunk off our 'to do before baby' list today and it helped. Medically and theoretically, it shouldn't happen again as it was unexplained and a healthy delivery last time, but its my only labour experience and I can't get it out of my head now.
This realization of 30 weeks next week has me in a panic about not having all of our nursery items ordered/ready even though I know all we need is a car seat, diapers and a bassinet, which we have.
Since everything was understandably put on hold with my FIL's passing, we are now 2 weeks behind, and since we hosted a reception after the memorial service and had to move all baby gift boxes back into the mostly empty office (will be the nursery), to make room for the 40-50 people who came by, I just can't handle it.
Luckily, DH told me to order the rug/dresser today since he knows I'm panicked that "8-10 weeks for delivery" means little man could be here before the dresser arrives.

Uhhh YES. 30 weeks totally flipped a switch in me. Last night I kept talking about baby things, the nursery, etc, and then started crying my eyes out and told DH I "wasn't ready to be a mom!" and asked him "Are you annoyed all I talk about is the baby??" But seriously, it's hard to think about much else. It's similar to the first month or so of being pregnant in that way!
And yeah, I painted and re-arranged the nursery last night while DH was out. When he looked his eyes got so big and he was like "how the hell did you do all that?"... Aint no motivation like a mom who knows her baby is coming, apparently!
laurenlou83, I feel the exact same way about labor and delivery! We have had project nursery for the past couple of weekends.
Ahhh! I hit 30 weeks on Monday and there is so much to do nursery wise. I feel myself preparing mentally more and more for labor and delivery- still scared, but putting on my big girl panties about it.

cnumbers me too! Ticker change tomorrow. I'm so very looking forward to baby but also nervous for labor and the major life change. I'm a second time mom but still a little freaked out!

Take your time and breathe everything will be okay .
I'm 27w3d today... HOWEVER, I've been told I'll be induced no later than 37 weeks.... which means, 9w4d to go. HOLY HELL.
PS - had a friend over last night talking about how you have to leave your humility at the door because of all the people going 'wrist deep' to check your cervix. Good Lord. Immediate... Panic.
