Roll Call: Who's still waiting? - Page 2

Due Today!

Still feeling a little sick(flu or something). Planning to rest today. My mom is suppose to help with my 2yo and I am going to enjoy some peace and quiet. Then by the weekend will start all the fun things to get baby moving on out. Long walks, hopefully my husband will finally have sex with me again, and castor oil+breast pump. Good times

39 w 4 d here and nothing is happening. Eager to meet my little guy and not wanting to wait a whole two more weeks!

40wk 5d

Nothing much going on.

Still here. EDD was 10/9, so as of today, 41+6. As of Tuesday, 80% effaced, fingertip dilated (what's up with that?!), -2 station. Tons of BH contractions for what seems like months, but no other action. I'm a little freaked out, but my midwife is not concerned, which gives me some confidence. She recommended 3 hours of nipple stimulation a day, which has been... interesting

Due on the 27th and waiting. I feel like my body is going to break pretty soon if he doesn't come out!

40w3d here and I've got nothing. Not one single sign of labor. No mucus plug, no cramps... nada. I've been 2cm dilated and 70%+ effaced and at -1 station for a couple weeks. Tomorrow I'm going to ask my midwife to strip my membranes, which worked with #1... though I had her do it last week and it got me nowhere. My mom is a teacher and won't be able to get time off from work next week because of parent-teacher conferences and DH just started a new job this Wednesday from which he has no paid time off and my evil MIL is flying in next Thursday and this baby just really, really, really, really needs to come ASAP.

Ooooooooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...

I just lost some of my mucous plug with pink blood in it! Finally! Hoping it means something and thinking it does since that is how my labour started last time... but I'm going to wait for the contractions or water breaking first!

Right on my due date!

[VTtoPSUmama]

Haven't posted much, but my due date was Oct.20th and I'm still waiting. I did just lose a ton of mucus plug though with maybe a tinge of something in it and am having a lot of crampiness. So maybe it won't be too much longer.

Feeling a bit of pressure and some soreness down low. I'm also having more BH than I've ever noticed before and have had a few side aches today. I hope she's wriggling herself into a good position to come out and play!

[Nature]

Starting to feel like I'm the only one left. Even though technically my due date isn't until November 3rd, and I already know the day I'll be meeting my baby girl. (on tuesday!) I was really really really secretly hoping to go into labor before my induction. I'm so scared to have things *start* at the hospital. Even though my cervix is very favorable and things will probably be fine.... my body births SO WELL on its own! I feel like I'm screwing with the natural order of things. But with 4 other kids at home, and my hospital so far away, and my past births so fast... its an ok choice I guess. If my cervix were not doing anything than I think I'd decline though. But really, a week ago it was 3 cm's and 75% effaced, and I've been contracting off and on since then.. so I think things can only get even better down there.

My OB is even thinking that just stripping my membranes might be enough to put me into labor, so interventions might be very minimal. But yanno.. its just the fact that every other time, MY body was what said it was time... and this time I'm giving babe the eviction. It feels WRONG on so many levels, but.. we all make choices that are the best ones for us right?

Hopefully.

I'm still here. Due on the 26th. I usually go right around my dates, so I'm expecting something this weekend. No signs other than several contractions throughout the day. Nothing painful or remotely regular, however.

I know my cervix is opening, but I don't feel like labor is coming just yet. My next appointment is Monday, I'm hoping to go before then!

Just saw your update in the weekly chat thread. Go mama go!!!
