I'm really tired of being pregnant - Page 2

[ACsMom]

Y'all, I am 41 weeks + FOUR DAYS today!!! AAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!! The past two days I've been pretty zen about it, but not today. I'm 2 cm dilated, fully effaced, baby is in a great position and almost 0 station, I've been having contrax at night (although nothing regular that could be timed), lost mucus plug a week ago.....WHY ISN'T THIS HAPPENING???

I keep trying to tell myself that when it does happen it'll be quick cause my body's already done all this work. But when's that going to be? At this point I'd rather go through a longer labor just to be done with it. I've so had it.

My MW is scheduled to see me this Friday if I'm still pregnant, and I'm going to beg her to strip my membranes. Today I'm doing caulophyllum upon the recommendation of a doula friend, see if that works. I'm not holding out much hope. What else....pressure points, walking, running up and down the stairs...I don't want to exhaust myself though. But something's gotta tip me over the edge, right? Right?

Glad you guys are here. It helps to vent.

Jen, all I can say is that I totally feel your pain. I noticed the birthday of your first is 2/16/06. My son is 2/10/06 and now the big joke is that this baby is waiting to share a birthday with his brother. HA HA! Very funny. That date would put me at 42+5, which actually feels highly possible at this point. I don't feel like I'll ever go into labor and I have no idea what is up with that.

I have been having ctx for a good couple of weeks now, but nothing materializes. I think my biggest mental problem is that I SO thought I would have this baby earlier than Grayson, who was born at 40+3. Ugh, ugh, ugh. I'm totally over it too and hoping to feel more positive tomorrow.

We have been making the same joke! (about our girls sharing a birthday) Although that would make me a whole month to the day overdue, which I'm sure is impossible. Right? My first was born by c-section at 41+3, after a failed induction, so I'm really starting to wonder just how long I would have been pregnant with her! This time I'm having lots of signs of impending labor, but I've been having the "signs" for so long I'm beginning to wonder if there's something wrong with me.

Hope it happens for both of us very soon!
