December babies are starting to arrive!! (Thankful no more)

[Phoebe]

Ok, yeah, I was the one who started the "I'm so thankful for..." thread and here I am feeling self pitty!! December is already seeing babies. Am I the last one left. I see that there were only 4 mamas who were thankful along with me. Either there is no one else left or only 4 were actually willing to say they were thankful!!

I'm only 3 days past but I'm bummed because...

Dh is weirded out by sex with a giant baby "right there!"

I don't want to have to deal with an ultra sound/NST if this heads toward 2 weeks

This is my 2nd VBAC and I feel more comfortable if things happen sooner rather than later

Ok. Now I can get back to being thankful.

I'm still hanging in here. I just could not respond to the thankful thread last night. I am really struggling at this point. I'm 41+4.

I'm still here. I am 40 +4. Went in today for biophysical and check. U/S looked good, I am a fingertip dialated. I am trying for VBAC and we had to have the whole 'discussion' today about timing/scheduling, etc. Luckily the m/w did not want to get into to much bec she did not want me to get stressed by having a 'date' that I must go into labor by.

Hope to get through Thanksgiving and HOPE things get started this weekend.
DD#1 was 14 days past due so.........................

HAng in there,

Hi, Amy!

Sorry, I was too cranky to be thankful on your last thread. 40+5 today, which is my EDD (midwife uses Wood's Method). My mother has started saying "But you'll be past dates!" in that tone of breathless fear and anxiety she's patented. Hard for me to stay calm. Stressful. Which is not helpful for a homebirth, which just gets me angry. Which is also not helpful for a homebirth. Then I feel guilty. Which is never helpful for anything. :

My next appt is Tue. Then I'll be over 41 weeks and the midwife will start talking about USs every three days and I probably won't be able to decline the internal again.

But if this foul mood keeps getting fouler at it's current rate, by next Tues I'll be checking myself into the hospital begging them to cut me open.

Crankiness is a good impending-labor sign, though. Isn't it? Anyone? Please?

I am thankful this simply has to be over. Sometime. Maybe even soon.

I am still here, too. 40+4 and not jumping for joy and not totally miserable either. I guess it kind of changes from hour to hour and day to day.

I have a mw appt in an hour and I guess we'll talk about next steps. Normally I prefer to let nature take its course but my FIL leaves for the winter on MOnday and I'd really love for him to meet his grandchild!

You're not alone!

I'm still here. I'm 39 weeks 5 days. I'm holding her in until the end of Saturday night. I have plans. lol
