[loveneverfails]

I've had 2 early, 2 late, and am 2 days away from the most pregnant I've ever been. And I've been pregnant, breastfeeding or both for the last 6 years straight. I WANT OFF THE FREAKIGN ISLAND! GET OUT!!! OUT NOW, BABY!!!!

Six weeks late! I would be begging for interventions at that point!

[HankyPanky]

thread crashing to say that loveneverfails is cracking me up. Poor overdue Mamas! I hope your babies come very soon.

[copperfox]

I feel like I'm going to forget how to have a baby -- she's been inside for SO friggin' long.

[copperfox]

chirp. chirp. chirp.

The board is so quiet. I feel like everyone is off having babies.

Except me.

Don't worry, you can always come over to the april DDC and talk to loveneverfails...we all know she's not having a baby any time soon.

, she was a super hippy living in a commune, interventions weren't an option. But she said after a certain point she was almost just curious to see how long it would actually take. She became a midwife after he was born.
She said he had super long nails.

I think I'll be here a while, don't worry.
41 weeks Monday.

[mom2lucy]

41w today, no baby in sight either. I guess I'll have to make another batch of brownies to keep my mind off my misery. Hey, what's a couple more pounds when you're pushing 42 weeks pregnant??!!

[katelove]

No baby here either. I'm 40+3 today so no particular reason why I *should* have had a baby yet but I'm still getting a bit impatient. Especially as my brother's friends, whose baby was due the same day as ours was born the morning after her EDD. I have had a few little "Wah! Where is my baby [stamps foot]" moments since then

I have an appointment with the midwives tomorrow and my next appointment, in a weeks time, will be with the obstetricians to discuss induction. The hospital policy is to induce at 41+3 but they are pretty relaxed about other options and will also offer daily CTGs etc if a person doesn't want to be induced - which I don't! I'm hoping I won't need the appointment next week and that just making it will be enough to shift her.

Babies come when they're ready. Babies come when they're ready. Babies come when they're ready.

[mwright]

I'm still here! 40+3 today..so ready to hold this lil nugget. Everyday my dd and I tell baby we are so ready to meet him/her!!

My arms are aching!! And plus, I'm super excited to have my home VBAC!! Yay! I have been dreaming and desiring this for almost 4 yrs!!! (since dd was born).

I knitted another hat, went walking yesterday, DH and I dtd and still nothing!! Boo!! I did have a huge glob of plug come out this morning and been contracting all day but that's it! Come one baby, I want to meet you!!!

[Dee-Groovy]

40+5 here. It's like we're under siege, lol! Lost lots of plug last night and feeling like today is the day. 2.5yo DD says baby sister is coming out to play today so I may as well believe her. I'm still not contracting though, it's so weird. It was like this with DD too and I ended up on pitocin at 41 weeks after my water broke. I hope that's not the case this time.

How are the "overdue" mama's doing this morning?? I woke up, and couldn't believe that I am still pregnant. I thought for sure I would see things pick up over the weekend. But no. My body is very content being pregnant and so is baby I think. But my hips are not!! They hurt like nothing else. uuugh!!

40+5 and I never thought I would be this pregnant. sheesh!! I am praying this nugget comes in the next couple days. My dad has to head down to southern CA later this week to be with his mom as her husband just passed away unexpectedly yesterday. Made me really heartbroken and sad for my grandma.

So now that baby missed being born on May Day, Cinco, my dad's birthday, Mother's Day..I guess he/she can have its "own" day. hehe

Now off to clean my house for the "100th" time in preparation for baby's arrival..

I hear you on the hip pain. I'm so tired but out of bed by 6 or 7 every morning because my hips hurt so bad I can't lay there any longer than that. And I sound like a broken record with the carpal tunnel, but I wake up and the fingers in my right hand won't bend, they're so stiff. Not swollen, just numb. It really sucks.

41 weeks right now. With my last pregnancy, I was having definite signs that labor was impending, and he was born on what would be tomorrow (41+1) but nothing here. I have this feeling like I'll see 42 weeks.

40 + 2 here. I went to water aerobics yesterday and the instructor announced it to the class. The old ladies who work out with me had several encouraging words to say about first babies, but the teenaged lifeguard looked seriously, seriously concerned that I was going to have the baby right there in the pool on her watch.

Made an appointment with the chiropractor for tomorrow, but we might just do a massage and hold off on acupuncture just yet and I haven't decided about a membrane sweep for my appointment this Friday yet either.

Hee hee, this happened with my last pregnancy. It was too much fun to go and swim my laps and tell the lifeguards that I was due, oh, 5 days ago! They always got this panic-ed, nauseated look on their faces. It was really the only thing that brought me joy in those last, tough, days of pregnancy.

I'm officially one day past my EDD. And I now have a job interview scheduled for Thursday. Stay in, baby, stay in!

[neveryoumindthere]

40+3 here
My pubic/pelvic bones HURT. I had acupuncture done on Saturday, nothing. My next m/w appt is tomorrow and I'm so hoping I don't make it

I haven't had a single 'nesting' instinct at all and as weird as it sounds I keep waiting for it, thinking maybe *that* will be a sign, since I'm getting no other signs.

I'm just TIRED.

Today ds dumped OIL all over the bathroom floor and all over himself, so that was fun, crouching and scrubbing and wiping. Didn't hurt at all :

GET her out, seriously!

[mwright]

I'll be 41 weeks tomorrow(Wed) and I think I am gearing up..I have been contracting all day today..my lower backs is sore, if feels like my hips have spread, and they look it too, yikes! And I have been having loose BM's all day so my body is staying cleaned out. My pubic bone hurts too.

Please pray or send some good, easy labor vibes my way..I feel like this should be it tonight..but ya never know until it is really happening, of course.. I'm ready, BRING IT!!!

Thank you, mama's!

[newmexmama]

Hello everyone! I'm officially past my due date so now I can join the pity party over here. May 10th has come and gone. And I feel nothing. Nothing. Except super irritable and crabby. I feel sorry for my sweet sweet two year old son. I'm snapping at him for no reason! I can see I'm hurting his feelings but I can't control myself. I am the worst mother in the world. I hope my mental state changes once this baby is born. I had a few hours of being my normal happy self today, but now I'm back to crabass land. Maybe I just need to go to bed and pretend I'm not pregnant. . . Oh I can't wait to sleep on my back!

40+almost 2.
