"Late?" How much?

[jr'smom]

Are there any other "late" mamas as impatient as I am? Can we keep tabs on each other here? I know I could use the support! And it always helps to hear that there are others in the same situation.

Today I am 41weeks 3 days.

Physically, I'm feeling pretty well. Can barely walk or do anything else just due to my size. But other than that, okay really.

Emotionally, I'm ready to throw in the towel, but don't know where to throw it! In my head, I know it can't be much longer, but it sure doesn't feel like that.

Who else is out there? How are you doing?

Me! 41w6d today. Has got to be soon but I am sooo ready. DD was a stinker and stayed put til 42w4d so this babe is looking to be close to the same. I can't wait to meet my baby!! :

[jr'smom]

See? I knew someone would be "later" and make me feel better! I really hope you meet your little one very soon!

I've had quite a day! My circumstances are too complicated to get into, but what it boils down to is I will have a C/S tomorrow. Trust me--we've gone through sooo much to have a HBA2C, and it's disheartening that after all it will end this way. On the other hand, I feel it's God's plan, and it's a relief to know I will finally meet my daughter tomorrow.

So I guess my counting is over.

I'm 41w2d according to my latest edd. I still think my edd may be off up to 5 days. I am so ready for this little one to come out. My Mom flew back to Spain today and the sole purpose of her trip was to meet her 1st granddaughter.

I get contractions every single day, there is just no pattern to them. Any time we spot them getting closer together we get excited only to find out they go away (as always). I keep thinking it could be "any time now" but any time never comes. *sighs*

It looks like I'll be having a c-section on Tues, barring any cervical changes. *sigh* Not what I wanted but looks like it's just the way things are turning out. I'll be 42 weeks then and am not comfortable going much longer---it's ironic because I thought I'd have to fight bc this would be a vbac but my OB has been totally supportive of that, there's just stuff I wasn't expecting with my blood pressure and swelling and such that are going to make an induction riskier and maybe pointless if my bishop score is still so bad Tues am. Tomorrow we try acupressure and some homeopathy to try to ripen the cervix, so *fingers crossed* we'll see how it goes.

just a few days past 40 weeks here, but so surprised since dd was born at 38 weeks - I feel like I've been 'ready' for a while. Feeling good and babe is good, but I'm super annoyed by the questions of induction and when will baby come? Everybody is so anxious, except me! I know that the longer babe grows, the healthier babe will be and since we dealt with nicu issues the first time around, every day is a good day, imo.

I am still here! My due date was 1/27. So, I'm 40 wks + almost 2 days. Trying natural induction tricks and waiting!!

wrapping my head around the idea of a February baby!

Hi, Kimmiepie. Guess no Jan babies for us

[andbabymakes4]

I am 40 + 4 today... So hopefully soon it will happen, my DH texts me every hour from work wondering if im birthing yet... I keep telling him as soon as I am he will be the FIRST to know, then the midwife. But hes off for the next 3 days so hopefully it will happen within his days off.

[skmama]

My DH calls me every morning from work and asks how I'm feeling - how he wants it to be now! He's convinced it might be during his big GAME today! I secretly wish so too...lol....hey he can always record it on the DVR!

41w5d waiting gets tedious. I'm hoping tomorrow is the last time I see our weekly music class while pregnant. MW appts pick up to every few days now. Sheesh!
