Roll Call ~ Who is still waiting for your LO?

[rebeccajm]

rebeccajm ~ due Wednesday 9/23 with baby boy #2 ~ no progress yet, just a load of BH contractions

I'm really hoping to have him on Tuesday, because my favorite midwife will be on-call! I want a VBAC more than anything, and I am feeling very confident about it.

Due 9/25 ish (Friday). I've never made it this far into a pregnancy!! I haven't checked my cervix in a few days because I'm feeling a touch yeasty (irritated, slight itch) so I don't want to mess with it. Lots of contractions, lots of pressure, lots of discharge (some of it very watery), but no baby

I was really hoping to have the baby last weekend, then this weekend my favorite OB was on call, but nothing yet. My favorite OB is on call Tues/Thurs tihs week, so I guess now I'm aiming for those days. Although I have to say, I'll take anything right now!!!!!!

No baby here either. EDD 9/26. This is about a week longer than I've ever been pregnant. Not sure what the hold up is. Lots of BH and pressure going on. I can today just reach my cervix, but not enough to tell if anything is going on.

[~Laura~]

I know there are lots of us end-of-the-month mamas. Plenty of company!

Due tomorrow with #4. Feeling the usual lots of BH and end of pregnancy discomfort, but not much else exciting going on. This is typical for me, though. All my stats are still great, so I am happy! I am *still* getting stuff together for the birth, so I guess I knew she wasn't ready yet.

If we went by my early U/S measurements, I would be considered 8 days late right now, so I am really happy that I know my ovulation date!

Sending labor vibes to all the mamas who need them!

Still here. Due date 9/20 (yes, today LOL) - like four BH over the past two weeks and some cervical twinges.

Part of me thinks this baby is going to be taking high school correspondence courses through my belly button LMAO!

Due 9/27. TONS of BH (probably every ten minutes all day) and as of last Monday, dilated to 3.5-4cm. I'm ready!

Wow, sounds like once your body gets going, it'll likely be FAST for you!!! Here's hoping!!!

Still waiting here too, due Saturday 9/26. Lost part of my plug on Thursday or so, then some more yesterday, and had very obvious bloody show this morning, so something is happening...but still no idea when this will all lead to a baby!

[ilovejeff]

Still waiting here, too. Edd Wednesday, 9/23. Baby was grinding her head into my cervix all day yesterday, so hopefully it's opening up (I haven't been checked yet.) I've been telling her since the beginning of the pregnancy that she should be born on her edd, since it's her grandpa's birthday. The last couple weeks I've changed that to "you should be born today!" but maybe she's still sticking to my earlier instructions....or maybe this is just supposed to teach me patience.

Due 9-30 so I have a little time before I am "due". I suppose all of us could go at any time now though. I have what I am assuming are painless BH ctx and loads of pressure and cervical twinges, but no real contractions, loss of mucous plug or any of that. Been walking uphills and occasionally dtd, although dtd is making me feel 'serviced' lately. I can't wait till sex is frisky again and not so purpose driven and static (meaning me, in one position, all the time).

I'm due 9/24, so this thursday, and having a few braxton hicks, everyday. Not much to write home about.

I feel like I've been hit by a truck somehow today, though, and a lot of pelvic pain. I wonder if that \means the baby has dropped?

[clemrose]

I'm due tomorrow (9.21) also. No signs of labor. I have tons of braxton hicks, but I first started noticing them at 8 weeks--nothing to do with labor for me! My daughter was born at 41+6, so I'm trying not to get my hopes up!

However, I've got serious lower back/pelvic pain that makes keeping up with a 2.5 yr old a serious pain (in the a**, literally!) and have tried a few mild things...
taking homeopathics, walking, bouncing on the birthing ball, dtd, eating pineapple...no luck.

Hi everyone,
I'm waiting for baby! Due date according to my conception date is 9/25 due date according to lmp is 9/28, ds's birth was a week after my lmp edd.
Sorry I have not been posting as much lately, ds seems to need more and more attention. Fortunately dancing has been his latest favorite thing to do with me, so he is helping me try to get things moving! "GET UP, MAMA!"

[ber]

I was due 9/17 and I'm still here! Trying to be zen about it but also SO ready to meet this little person!

[coldandsleepy]

Still here, still pregnant! My due date is actually TODAY. :P

Let's see. Baby dropped around 35 weeks. I started effacing around the same time and dilating a week later. At my appointment last week, I was 1.5cm dilated and 60% effaced. Baby's in position.

And that's that, nothing else is happening. I had contractions all day Wednesday, for about fourteen hours straight. Started out 10 minutes apart and 30 seconds long, progressed to 3 minutes apart and almost 2 minutes long... and then around 2 a.m., they just STOPPED. Argleargleargleargle.

Basically, I don't think this baby is ever coming out. :P

[tofutti]

my due date is TODAY!

NOTHING is happening!

i too will be pregnant forever. it's cool.

ha.

[kismetbaby]

So with all you mamas! Due 9.26. Lots of BHs, especially yesterday and then last night my first contrax (although they were really mild and basically painless), maybe they were triggered by DTD yesterday? But no other signs like mucus, blood, etc.

Lots of pelvic pressure since about last Thursday. Sick of the waiting game!

[~Caitlyn~]

Edd: 9/25.... I thought things were moving along yesterday, as I had these cramps/ctx that made me run to the bathroom.... If you know what I mean... Anyway after 3 episodes of those, I returned to 'normal'.

I would like to lose my plug, or something to know I am getting close... Haven't been having my mw check me, but I'm considering it on my weds appt.

I guess everyday that we are still pregnant is another day closer to us holding our babies

[goldie117]

I haven't posted here since my last pregnancy in 2007 but I've been lurking for weeks and thought what the hay I'll join in at the last minute. My edd was 9/12 so I'm 41+1 today.GOOD GRIEF!

I really hope so! It's been such a wind up and I'm ready to move to the next phase. The BH can get exhausting after awhile.
