Pregnant Forever Club ...

[Usually Curious]

Who wants to join? I can't really be the charter member as I'm not even due until Thursday but I thought it needed to be started!

Sheesh. This is my sixth child and ALL of them have been born between 40+4 and 40+6. I knew all along that this one would be too, but then my MW went and got my hopes up last week. Grrr. I imagine I'll still be pregnant long enough to clean the house one more time and do more laundry. Shoot!

[paxye]

I'll join... two of mine have been born at 42 weeks, so basically I should have just joined the Feb DDC... I had tons of prodromal labour 2 weeks ago and I was dilated etc but then the baby moved and it seems I lost at least a cm or two...

[purplemamaturtle5]

Well...I'm not due until the 28th, but I have a feeling I will make it at least to my due date or past.....not before. (ugh). This will be my second child and I went 41 weeks 1 day with my first. Even though I would love to have this baby come sooner than later. I'm afraid it will be later. I am in so much pain right now!! Between my sciatica and I think I developed "Pelvic Girdle Pain"....... I am just done.

I'm due the 27th but my son was 42 weeks exactly, and I got nothing goin' on here. and I'm nervous about going late because I'm a VBAC in a non-VBAC friendly world. Also baby was posterior at my last appt. and I keep obsessively poking at him now and he is flopping around constantly and I think we're driving each other crazy.

[pwit]

Akat- I'm due the 27th with a baby that seems to be posterior a lot of the time too and I feel like we poke back and forth at each other driving us crazy too!!!

My first was 42 and a half weeks according to my OB but I think she was 41 and a half.

My second was 3 days past

Its still early I guess but I see no sign of this little one wanting to come out.

[djinneyah]

today's my due date. nobody, and i mean NOBODY thought i would make it to january, let alone my due date.....

and i woke up to a ton of housework and squabbling kids. so mad i could spit.

[Usually Curious]

I hate being due at the end of the month! I am trying not to be jealous of all the mamas holding their sweet babies, but I am. I am trying to remind myself that this pain is only temporary and the nights of sleeplessness that are to come, but it's sooooo hard.

This has been me the last few morning. Ay, yi, yi, these kids climb into my bed and start kicking and screaming each other. Meanwhile I am trying to sleep and I really do not enjoy having my 40lb ds body slam into me and my belly.


I think part of the problem for me is that I went over with my other two, but was still holding out hope that this one would arrive semi on time. Last time I remember the mw saying something along the lines of call me when you're in labor starting at 38 weeks. I don't understand what makes them say it, but really it makes me

Can I just say Due Dates suck. I wish no one ever invented the wheel of fortune (edd wheel) or made us think we are freaks of nature to go past our due dates.

I was due this weekend, so I don't think I am the most overdue or anything, but it's still hard. I am still feeling the 25th! My mom gets in that morning, and I hope I have the baby as she is boarding the plane.

[gabeyho]

I'm not due til Friday, and I imagine that means cleaning everything at least one more time for me, as well. yuck. One more week of dh at work and me and 4 kids pretty much on our own until the baby gets here.

[patagonia]

*raises hand*
someone PLEASE get this thing out of me.

I had my son at 39w, I'm 39w today and there are no signs of an impending baby.
I'm done, so so done.

[mamakims]

I'm joining too!

I'm 1 day past my EDD but I've never gone into labour on my own. My dd was induced at 42w5d and my ds was induced at 41w. At my appt on Sunday, my m/w said that at my next appt (Monday at 41w) it's time to book an induction date. Typically they are offered at between 41w and 41w6d. I do have the option of going past 42 but given my history of hemmorhaging and 9+lb babies, I'll be more likely to face a c section depending on the OB (I have a stubborn cervix that likes to get stuck at 2cms despite strong contractions and then again at 9-10). I narrowly escaped a section with my ds.

It feels so early to be thinking about this and as impatient as I was even a week ago.. I feel pretty good and am not feeling as done as I once was.

[sunshadow]

sign me up. I am due on Thursday, but I feel like I am past due. My daughter was born at 37 weeks and my midwife was saying she expected me to go about the same time, so I got all excited. I still have no symptoms of him coming any time soon, so I am trying not to (lose my mind) be impatient!

I was due the 16th. My first one went past 41 weeks, though, so I'm not even going to start hoping for anything until this coming weekend. I'm 1 cm dilated, probably about 70% effaced, so things are happening, just very slowly. Patience is not my strong suit, though.

[seaheroine]

40+6 here, I'm almost as incredulous as I am irritated.

I've been 3cm dilated forever and for the longest time - most of December - was having tons of BH, lost my mucous plug at 36 weeks...but no, still here! Baby is happily squirming away in there and I'm starting to forget the end result of this is a baby at all!

It just feels like permanent discomfort.

Each night I go to bed thinking it might be the night and then I wake up still pregnant and cross. It's like Groundhog Day! NTM nobody, and I mean nobody, I know IRL has ever gestated more than 3 days past their due date. So acquaintances keep asking when (and then why not) I'm getting induced.

Can she just come out now? I've had zero signs of possible labor lately. After months of it, it's almost shocking. She's just big and her rear is lifting my ribcage and I'm out of room! Please baby...decide to arrive!

I know and even the Feb DDC are already having their babies too! Do I have to go hang out in March?

ugh. how depressing.

[smokeylo]

I'm due tomorrow, so I feel like a heel for joining, but I've pretty much decided this baby will never ever come and all I will ever have is false labor. I was so mad in the middle of the night (having contractions, AGAIN, with no baby, AGAIN) that I decided I seriously wasn't going to call my midwives UNTIL THE CHILD WAS HANGING OUT OF MY BODY. I'm just so sick of the false labor thing! I think I MIGHT be able to stand more pregnancy if I wasn't constantly getting teased.

[AfricanQueen99]

I swear to all things holy, this boy better evict tomorrow morning so I can see, smell and love on him. I still feel fantastic physically, but I'm emotionally done with the questions!

Plus, we finally agreed on a name that we both love and I want him out and named before my husband changes his mind again!
