Who's still left?

[alayne926]

Ok ladies, we're winding down the month...I know I am anxious and totally ready for this LO to get here. RCS is still NINE days away...

I am so done, my hands and feet are sore and swollen, my left hip is killing me, and DS is wearing me out.

How is everyone else hanging in there?

[mrsholley1344]

I was just wondering when there would be a thread for those of us left. I am actually still enjoying being pregnant. The entire experience has been on the very easy side for me, so I know my opinion is not the norm. I do want to meet this little person I we have created, and I know DH is so ready. He is not pleased that I am not dying for her to come out (my mom says when I am at the just get her out of my place, that is when she will come). I have only been on leave for two weeks now and I am going stir crazy, so actually having a baby would help with that. Everyone keeps telling me to enjoy this down time before she comes, and I am trying. I am just not a down time type of person. Oh well. 39 weeks on Monday, so as they say, it could be anytime now...or two more weeks.

I'm having that "picked last in gym class" sort of feeling right now. 40+3 today, and I've only had a little bit of progress. DH rubbed my pressure points last night, and all I got out of it was a bunch of BH. Sigh. Appointment on Monday to set an induction date. I'll still keep my fingers crossed for a Father's Day surprise tomorrow.

[pghtruelove]

Tomorrow I hit 41 weeks. I'm done. I pretty much spend all my time in bed crying. She's so heavy it hurts to stand, or sit, or do anything. Currently I'm cuddling with my dog with an ice pack on the front of me and a heating pad on my lower back.

[jessila]

I'm also 39+2. I'm uncomfortable most any way I can move my body. Everyone had me convinced he'd be here early so I already feel like I'm past due but I'm not. I had been having false labor early in the week but it stopped every time I thought it might go somewhere. But tonight I've been having contractions for about 3 hours. They ramped up intensity a little but I just slept for half an hour and only one woke me up. So, I'm just going to bed thinking that if it does happen tonight that I'll at least have some sleep? I told DH that I'd had contractions about 7 minutes apart for 40 minutes and he looked so bewildered like he never thought it might happen!

[bruunk]

Still here - EDD is tomorrow. I've had false labor since last dr appt (June 9). Starts around 4 o'clock and ends around 7 every night. Mucus plug gone (not confirmed by the doctor but not sure what else that could have been...) and I'm uncomfortable but over all I feel ok. This pregnancy has been better than I was expecting so I'm trying to enjoy the last of it, but I'm also really ready to meet this little one. My pelvic bone is killing me - ready for that to not hurt any more.

[bendherova]

Today's my EDD (6/21) still have an inside baby. next appt is Tuesday.

I'm done with being pregnant. please be a due date baby, little one!


I'm extremely jealous of those with outside babies! DS1 was due on 3/6 and came on 3/15 (after induction). Having an early in the month due date was so much nicer!

[bendherova]

a friend just sent this to me.

[alayne926]

bendherova, so true!

[PurpleIris]

40+2. My son was 11 days late so not too surprised. I don't feel too terribly uncomfortable, but I'd really like to get the show on the road. My midwives are very low intervention, so they won't induce until close to 42 weeks - I don't think it will go that long, but as of right now there are no signs of impending labor.

[sordidvolition]

39+2 and nada. No contractions, nothing. Walked way too much yesterday and paid for it last night and still paying today. Induction/c section scheduled 6/23 and I have no doubt I'll make it. My first baby was 40+4. I'm ready for baby but scared of having c section so I'm ok waiting

[Bluedaisy]

Me! But I'm starting to think it will be a July baby (not really surprising since my due date is the 29th), will you still have me anyways?

Of course we'll still have you!

[amber311]

Still here as well. Tomorrow is 39 weeks and this baby needs to come out. I have no feeling in my fingertips anymore. I have no ankles and no ability to move without making ridiculous noises.... June 29th is EDD and also my last day of work. I'm miserable

[ladysif]

Present, but probably not for much longer. 40+3 today, induction tomorrow as long as they have availability. Mixed feelings on it; I know ultimately it is best for baby, DS1 had meconium in his amniotic fluid and so if I hadn't been induced with him that might have been worse and I risk that now with DS2, but selfishly I know the placenta is fine and he's not ready to come out so I wish I could just wait and have this happen without induction. Oh well. Baby first, mom's vanity/ease of delivery second.

[mathistm]

Due date is today and no sign of baby girl. I have an appt tomorrow for a sonogram, NST and cervix check. They will see me twice a week up until 42 weeks if baby/placenta are happy and then induce. I figure she will come when she comes and as long as she's healthy in then so be it.

[tinavonsparkle]

40+5 today. Stick a fork in me, im done! At this rate baby will be spending its first few minuets on the naughty step!

[mmo2112]

Still here, too. Sucks being in the caboose camp! Especially after everyone and their mother convinced me I'd deliver early. Yet another pregnancy lesson learned--don't listen to anyone's predictions everrrr.

EDD is Tuesday June 23. Induction scheduled at 41w, June 30. Reeealllly hoping she comes before then but I've felt the same degree of uncomfortable for the past week or so and she hasn't given me any hints that she has an escape plan.

My dad just told me he was "disappointed" she hadn't arrived by Father's Day. (It's his first grandkid.) Equal amounts of rage and sadness made for a swift end to that phone call. Errrggggggggg.

[ladymouse]

40+1, and have to do an RCS on 40+5 if she doesn't come on her own. I wanted med-free. The baby is not moving down/to a good position. She's in the exact same position her brother was (posterior, legs slightly to the left, head wedged on my left hip - never descended, never dilated past a 5, CS for failure to progress after 40 hours of labor.)

I'm pissed (with my OB for the earlier than anticipated RCS date.) I feel hopeless/deflated (I consented - extremely reluctantly - because I'm convinced that even with the extra 4 days that this baby wasn't gonna come on her own.) And after so many rounds of prodromal labor, I feel betrayed by my body. Every time someone makes a comment about the baby coming, I want to cry or at least tell them to just... not. I know an RCS isn't the end of the world, and I know some people choose them. I just... wanted to feel like there was a CHANCE I would have a VBAC.

On the plus-ish side, as a result of the baby being in a horrible position, I'm mostly comfortable physically, aside from the heat and having to pee all hours of the night. *runs off to cry... and pee*

Pulling for you today, due date buddy! My first was born at 40+5 without induction so I hope it's a lucky number for you ☺️

[alayne926]

ladymouse, sorry you're having to compromise when you didn't really want to. Hoping your RCS is quick and easy and you're holding LO in your arms as soon as possible!

[pghtruelove]

@jemomma thanks! I'm telepathically sending labor vibes to you all!!!!!!

[theBeeMama]

Misery loves company so I'm chiming in...

39+3. I'm starting to get super grouchy/ragey.

I am trying to just submit to the process, but also... I really want this baby out.

SO MUCH FREAKING PRESSURE in my downstairs, like to the point where it's (she's) pinching nerves in my groin and all down my legs.

Surely all this pressure means she's effacing the heck outta me!!

Also, holy back pain.

Okay, I'm done complaining now. (For the moment!)

Yay, you had your LO! Congrats!! Love the choice of name btw

I hope you're feeling so much relief and have a good first few days together!

[Bluedaisy]

Physically I'm feeling pretty good, but now my grandma passed away and I can't travel to be with my family until after baby I'm really antsy. I think I'll call for another acupuncture apt. in the morning.

[pghtruelove]

carolyngrace my mothers name was Carolyn and J was born on the anniversary of the day my mom passed away. It seemed perfect. She made this day beautiful.

Sending labor vibes to all you ladies with LO's still cooking away!! I can't wait to see your birth announcements!
