something very similar. But she continues to say things like "Wow! that's way early!" When I say something about my doctor doing a c-section at 37 weeks. I know it shouldn't bother me, but I think so many people just take it for granted that they will have 40+ week, normal pregnancies with beautiful...

congrats! I wish my mil was like that! I was just sitting here plotting a plan for healthy boundaries with mine this time. Last time was a disaster that she is still complaining/hurting my feelings about!

Just wondering how you all deal with friends and family who act like you are out of your mind. I have a friend on facebook who is "due" a couple of weeks before I am.

Woo hoo!!! So happy for you!

I thought it might be helpful to start a topic where we can celebrate the milestones we have hit and affirm what our next milestone will be. I find it helpful to get through the last weeks by finding something to look forward to/strive for. Baby and I hit a major milestone today. I am 31 weeks today...

It honestly depends on your doctor. But I would not feel comfortable not being monitored closely. You should have at least the protein in your urine monitored at every visit, and several ultrasounds to follow baby's growth.
