Who Is Still Pregnant?

[Mom2Ms]

Me.

Status: 40w3d. Contractions that are not reliable & start and stop. Dr appt tomorrow. NST. Fluid check. Ultrasound. Exam. Membrane sweep. Setting up induction for Thursday morning.

Where are my other ladies?!!!

[lilyelayne]

40w3d here also. Only had a couple episodes of contractions. I've got induction scheduled for Friday, and I don't know how I feel about it. OB said I could postpone until the following week if I really felt I had to, and if I do that I need to schedule a regular appointment this week.

Really tired of everyone asking me when he's coming. Like I know! Also tired of people wanting to know every little symptom or "twinge" I'm having. If it's not increasing timeable contractions, it doesn't matter for labor and it sure doesn't matter to you (stranger / coworker / etc).

I'm with you. Even DH is on my nerves.

When I feel contractions, I'm like "Oh. That's nice. Moving on."

I'm 40 weeks 1 day today. Felt some contractions here and there over the last few days but nothing consistent. Have Dr's appt tomorrow and considering getting membranes swept. Dr said last week I should have her that week since I was already 3 cm and 70% and she would be surprised if she waited til this week. Well SUPRISE!! Hope u ladies get progressing soon.

I'm with you as well. 40+3 or 4, I can't even bother to keep track anymore...
Had my first somewhat painful contractions last night, but they stopped after a few hours. I'm glad something is starting to happen, even though I know I'm grasping at straws.

It's super weird to me to go around waiting (and hoping) for pain. Definitly a new experience.

Y'all are going to hate me. 41 weeks and sitting in L&D for.my induction. I've got so many IVs it looks like a tiny octopus is attacking my arm. Started at 2cm and 80% an hour ago so we'll see.

MrsPavlov Good luck! I hope everything processes smoothly!

No hate! Good luck! T&Ps for smooth labor & delivery!

Good luck! Hoping for safe delivery for u and baby!

Oh, I am, I am! I'm currently 41+2. I got a membrane sweep today, so maybe that'll help. I also had an ultrasound to make sure that the fluid and baby all look okay, which thankfully they do. If I don't go into labor by early next week, I'm planning on being induced. I really, really hope I go before then.

I never dreamed I'd be having a March baby! DS came right on his due date, so this is totally unexpected. Sometimes I feel like I'm going to be PG forever.

lilyelayne, whenever someone tries to ask for the details of every twinge, I just say "I'm not super comfortable, but not much is really happening. When I go into labor, I'll let you know." Well, assuming it's someone close enough that I would let them know. Otherwise I'd probably just leave it at the first sentence. Just because they're asking doesn't mean you need to give details!

I can't believe that people ask you when you're going into labor. That's ridiculous. And annoying. Like anyone is more eager to have this LO come out than the PG mom, and like that PG mom needs a reminder that she is still PG and will be for an indeterminate amount of time? If they asked me when baby was coming, I'd probably tell them "I don't know, ask him/her." Seriously, people can ask the silliest things!

[lilyelayne]

beth1212 when people ask how "things" are going I just say I'm still pregnant and leave it at that. My stock response to when are you having the baby is "I'm not in charge of that."

It's the amount of asking that wears me out.

[Mom2Ms]

MrsPavlov - Good luck momma! Keep us posted!!! Sending you positive labor thoughts!

Had dr appointment this morning. Everything looks good. I'm 4-5cm and still 80%. She did the sweep, thinking that might keep things going. My pelvic bone is separated & baby's head is holding it apart- that's where the horrible pain is coming from that is causing me to not be able to walk.... Induction scheduled for 7:00am Thursday if the sweep doesn't work.

Been having regular contractions about 13 minutes apart for almost 2 hours now. Keeping my fingers crossed this is it.

Good luck to all our F15 mommas still KU!

lilyelayne I can totally get that! I hope you deliver soon so that the questions stop. And so, you know, you get to deliver and hold your LO and all that good stuff  

[courtshel04]

beth1212 we seem to be on the same schedule lol. I'm also 40 weeks 2 days and had membranes swept today and an ultrasound to check on baby and fluid. I have induction scheduled for next Tuesday if she hasn't come by then. Fingers crossed they come before needing to be induced.

40+5 here and going to lose it!! So sick of just feeling pain but not having it really amount to anything. My midwife says I'm making good progress but ARGH!!!! I have a membrane sweep planned Thursday if I'm still pregnant. If I go to 42 it's a medical induction. And if I go to 42 my parents are only in town like 3 more days. Yahoo.

Hope it was the real deal for you and you're either in labor or snuggling your LO!

[courtshel04]

Well I'm no longer pregnant! Had baby girl at 430 this morning. Going to do my birth story now. Good luck to all u ladies.

[lilyelayne]

beth1212 hope to see your birth announcement soon!

[beth1212]

lilyelayne I'm such a slacker! LO was born on last Tuesday (3/3) so no induction needed... I haven't been online much since then. Sorry about the tardy posting!

Me too. DS was born on 3/4. I did a birth announcement story, but didn't update this. I suck.

Hope all the F15 ladies have had their babies!
