Answer 1

interesting qusetion!

But I think although I would like to meet the little one sooner I need the whole 9 months to get ready!!!

Answer 2

lol cute question. I am 38 weeks pregnant and this whole time I have been so anxious and ready for it to be over, but the closer it gets the more I am starting to realize how much I actually enjoy being pregnant. I think that 40 weeks is perfect for me. As much as pregnancy can suck it is awsome at the same time!

Answer 3

I wish we could just have the healthy baby right away.. No pregnancy needed! I have always wanted a child, adoption was my only option for a while but then I gave in when I realized the cost of adoption and that I would have to wait 7 more years before I was allowed to adopt from the country that I wanted. I finally ended up going the regular route.. I'm pregnant now! I can't stand it! I want to meet the baby.. I want to drink Mountain Dew and I want to stay skinny.. I hope my baby is healthy though and happy for this 40 total weeks that I am going to be pregnant for.

Answer 4

i had one baby at 31 weeks, one at 36 and one at 38.. preemies SUCK and i dont mean the baby obviously, but its so hard to have them early.. she was lucky she was only in the hospital for 3 weeks, but a lot have to stay longer. my 36 weeker was 8 lbs 4oz and absolutely fine..they said if she was term she'd be going into kindergarden when she came out........ and then my son at 38 weeks GOD i was begging for him to come out at that point it was june and blazing hot i was big as a house and couldnt imagine going another 2-3 weeks with him in there.........glad he came out when he did

Answer 5

well actually an hour would be a little too short.. after having s*x.. id like to be able to just chill out next to my man for a couple of hours..and id like to be able to watch my belly grow.. and feel the first few kicks.. and see an ultrasound atleast...

Answer 6

i think 40 weeks was enough, but after i gave birth, i did miss being pregnant and feeling her moving inside me.

i didnt realise the first few animals were pregnant for such a short period of time!

Answer 7

I just want him to pop out im 28wks and im sore. So probably 25ish wks.  So between a sheep and a human. Id hate 2 be an elephant! And their babys weigh tons. Shame i have pity on them.

Answer 8

i like sheep long enough to prepare but you don't start to feel you'll never deliver

Answer 9

I think I was 25 weeks when I started getting annoyed with being pregnant!

Answer 10

Hmm, I don't know. If I could go through everything I went through during this pregnancy in 10 weeks then that would be perfect, I love having my big tummy and people always saying congrats! I love baby shopping! And I love getting to feel all the feelings.
