    I'm right there with you. Literally. My due date is the same day! This is my 3rd and most annoying, stressful and painful pregnancy. My first 2 boys were a cake walk compared to this. My favorite is when people argue with me about whether I'm having twins. They say "Are you sure???" "Wow I can't believe you're not!" I want to kill them. I'm so annoyed at this point I actually imagined myself ramming this guy's truck in the Wawa parking lot a la Fried Green Tomatoes style. I've had a migraine headache for the last two weeks, just got over having to take the nastiest drug ever to stop preterm labor, and it feels like this little vixen is head butting my cervix constantly! It actually wakes me up if my bladder doesn't.

    So for you I recommend lots and lots of sex with tons of nipple stimulation; walk, walk, walk; vacuum & clean your butt off; and for me, my last two came within 2 days of making home made stuffed cabbage. I'm polish, so.... I'm heading to the store tomorow to pick up the ingredients lest I murder someone. If you go past your due date, ask your doc or midwife to "scrape the membranes" to help move things along. My 2nd was overdue and my midwife suggested it. I don't recomend it unless you are overdue though. Not exactly fun. Good luck and I hope it's all over asap and the same for me.

    Well, this is so funny! I feel the same way and I am only 7 months. People question me constantly. I am barely 5 feet and I have gained 25 pounds, I suppose to some people I look gigantic. I feel this way too. It is irritating! Most people do not know how to talk to pregnant women. I have found this out rather quickly. I just say "I am not pregnant!" just to mess with them, obviously telling them that I was kidding soon after. It gives them the bug eyes and open mouth too, but it seems that it would be a remark that they enjoy since they find so many remarks about me. You have only 2 weeks left, if that, so relax and enjoy yourself. You already seem prepared. Just think, some of us have 2 more months left of this silly mess!

    Youre right to not want to be induced! I had a terrible labour when I was induced! The amount of times they poked hooks and what not "down there" was absolutely terrifying not to mention painful. I was also connected to amount a million drips and wires, so ended up having an epidural. as i couldnt have an active birth! Start walking everyday for about an hour a day. Drink loads of raspberry leaf tea every day. Eat pineapple - freshly cut. Try a hot curry. Try sex. Try squatting gently and standing up and squatting. I wish I had done something earlier in my pregnancy with my daughter so I wouldnt have been induced - this time I am going to start all of the above at 37 weeks!

    My girlfriend wrote her due date on a small papers and handed them out when she was at the stores. lol. She just would smile and hand them the notes. But she is a little bit on the smart tushy side.

    And One day wrote it on the back of her hand. On the other hand she wrote thank you.

    Good luck hun, find a creative outlet that works for you.

    If I had thought of that years ago I think I would of wrote it on my tummy and flashed people my belly. Something like I am a boy and i will be here Sept 7th. Now leave my mommy she is having a bad day.

    Well, they could ignore you? Sometimes people just want to make conversation and don't understand how stressed and ready you are.

    I'm getting a t-shirt made "Arriving Mid October", "Coming this Fall" or something along those lines, though, because after reading your post, and the times I've been asked, I'd hate to deliver in jail....

    its ok just go with the flow. I get tired of people asking my due date too. sometime i just want to tell them im not pregnant. lol

    I am due on the 25 of this month and i have strangers constantly saying things like wow look at you or you're about to pop, or how much longer have you got? or whatever. and it always seems that they ask me these questions when i am NOT in the mood and don't want to talk to them about my baby that won't come! lol

    hahahaha..... sooooo just hang in there. try not to let other people bother you. just remember, you will have a little bundle of joy before long!!!

    The tips to get pregnant given below are some effective ways to get pregnant fast and are natural ways of getting pregnant. Read here https://tr.im/eNIkc

    Women can easily keep a tab on their ovulation by maintaining a temperature chart. Usually around the time of ovulation there is a spike in the temperature of women.

    Stress and strain has significant role to play in respect of reproductive cycle including ovulation and menstruation. So if you are planning to get pregnant see to it that your partner as well as you are calm and collected.

    Diet, weight, physical fitness and lifestyle have direct bearing on pregnancy. This holds true for both men and women. Both underweight and overweight may be exposed to the risk of infertility on account of difficulties in ovulation. So optimum importance should be given to body weight. One should opt for balanced diet, regular work out and exercises.
