What are you talking about? You're not a watched pot. It's not like anyone is stalking you on your DDC or anything.

Cheering on cervix to ripen up ASAP!

Ouch! I guess I should be thankful that bad timing is my only threat at this point. I assume you're doing all the EPO, sex, nipple stim, walking, acupressure, etc, etc...

I'm doing *Everything* (but caster oil, that stuff scares me)
I just have late babes I guess! I'm thinking I will cancel the c/s the day before tho if my nsts are good and I am dilated.

Castor oil scares me too. My hubby bought some for me at my request before I found out that it can cause the baby to pass the meconium before they are born.
Good for you for watching that everything is good and trusting your body enough to cancel the c/s.

Good luck to all you happy gestating women out there.

Way to go! Hang in there.

I feel so bad being so impatient around 'social issues' as MW called it. This was the last situation I wanted to set up, but she and I do agree that baby is looking ready, and that we're not just wrong on dates or looking at a LO that needs to bake longer. Trying to do the gentlest things first. She did the stretch & sweep this morning and said she would have liked to see it a little softer. But NST was just perfect and she said the bones she could feel indicate it is full term. I'll go back tomorrow morning to repeat and start black & blue cohosh if needed. Castor oil 'birth drink' is on the calendar for Monday if we make it that far, subject to change of course.

And s/he FLIPPED!!! Baby is now 100% LOA for the first time EVER. So I'm taking that as a good sign that we're ready to go any minute.

Hey Kim! I saw you post somewhere on our DDC. I had my little girl on Saturday!! She was a shocker...everyone had me convinced I should expect her to be a boy. Need to post an announcement here... Find me on facebook?

Hey Guess what! I am no longer past my EDD. 14 days over and I had a beautiful baby boy.

I had my baby in my arms when you wrote this! He was born the 18th at 5:22am. Thanks for your encouragement!

"Overdue" here, but I don't really believe in due dates, so... I was "due" on Monday, and even though I've had lots of pre-labor and thought it was going to be the real thing a few times, my money is on Friday (both of my boys were four days past my LMP EDD). Then again, this one is wonky because I had a m/c and then got pg immediately (no period), so we have NO clue when I ovulated! Only time will tell, I suppose.
