Over due club!

post #1 of 131

Am I the first official member?
I was due yesterday and there is nothing happening here at all.
I think I had some kind of 24 hour bug, for 24 hours until yesterday evening I was very nauseous and sick quite a few times. I thought this might have been the beginning of something, but no... I feel totally fine now.
I'm not disappointed really. I am in some kind of denial that I am having a baby so I don't mind that he/she not's arrived yet. I also knew that I would be late again (my last one was 10 days over too).
so anyone else doing a bit of extra cooking yet?

Not a member - yet - in fact I have 2 weeks to go. My other two were late though, so I will probably be one. But I was sick too yesterday and of course wondered if "this was it". How cruel to make someone so pregnant sick to their stomach! Glad you're at least feeling better today!

There's a couple of June 1st-ers on here so you aren't the first one! I'm 40 +4 now, I will probably be pregnant oh, forever.
A couple of us had posted on the May overdue thread thinking it was too early to start on here, but I guess not, there's a few of us now!!
My DD1 was induced at 39 weeks, and then my DD2 came on her own time at 40+6, so if I'm still pregnant Monday I'll be the most pregnant I have EVER been.....not a milestone I'm really looking forward to meeting....

I'm overdue. Technically i'm 41w1 but joined this ddc because i had a feeling i wouldnt go in may. Used the 6/1 edd so that puts me with MM at 40w4. My body feels more like 41w1 though lol. Longest i've ever gone before was 40w5 and i am way bigger and more uncomfy this go round.

I keep telling myself, it's ok to go over because the baby is taking the time it needs to finish up and we won't have colic this time!

Wow, that's such a great way of looking at it! my dd had colic (she was 6 weeks prem) and yes I'll quite happily carry a bit longer if it means I can avoid that! Well done on such a great insight, I think that might be my mantra over then next few days (weeks?!?)

I'm really hopeful. A few friends who have gone overdue have said that their babies they let come in their own time didn't have colic, while their others did. And with my first i really believe she wasn't ready yet, but i was 5 over and the OB decided to augment labor. With my 2nd she was less colicky, but i took cohosh to try to speed the prodomal labor along. So this one, i'm letting choose it's OWN time. It could not work, but what harm is there in letting this one cook a bit longer? Worse case scenario it makes me feel like i'm actively helping even amidst the misery.

I'm so glad there is an official overdue thread! I am cranky at just 38w1d because I have never NOT been overdue, so it's very likely just a matter of time (2 weeks to be exact!) before I'm here!! Knowing I have a place to join is nice...much better than thinking I'm the only one that goes over...in any case, I have always enjoyed my well-cooked babies. They have all been hungry nursers and I enjoy that they each chose their birthdays (even the ones that share them!!).

One funny perk of being past due is the look on peoples faces when you tell them your due date has passed We were at a bday party for my DD's little friend and all the aunts and grandmas and other relatives of hers that I'd never met kept asking me when the baby was due.... I really got a kick out of saying "last Tuesday" and watching their reaction!! A few were a little shocked that I was there while THAT pregnant but no one was rude or anything, so it was pretty fun. 2 or 3 of them told me I should try to get in the bounce house with the kids and bounce the baby out

LOL MM! The guy upstairs ran into dh today and asked if i'd had the baby yet and when i was due. When dh told him he gasped 'Aren't they inducing yet???' he was totally freaked out. I bet he'll be even more freaked when labor sets in and he wonders WHAT those noises are as i'm birthing

why does 40+5 feel like so much MORE pregnant than 40+4??? Liberty was born on 40+6, so if no baby by tomorrow this will be my longest pregnancy EVER, which doesn't make me feel too thrilled! I have contractions but no show or anything like that, nothing makes me think anything is happening anytime soon I do not WANT to go beyond 41 weeks, I don't! Can't I throw a fit and make 2 year old logic work for me???

I've thrown a few temper tantrums I'm still pregnant. But it sure feels good when i'm in the midst of them. Today i told poor dh not to do anything if he can't keep it up in the manner that i do, that i'd just do it ALL myself until the baby came. I love him, he didnt say a word and started cleaning, folding laundry and is now bathing the dog. With out a single word or dirty look. I went and got in the shower, came and had some fruit salad and escaped online. He came over kissed me on the head and asked if i felt better and apologized for not being as good a housekeeper as me. I feel like an arse.

I think my biggest complaint is also the contractions. They either need to let up, or do something. I've had weeks of prodomal labor now. And the last 3 days i get ctx that i can't really sleep through, but don't go anywhere. Keeps me from napping and whatnot so i'm annoyed. I'm ok with labor starting, but this false crap is driving me batty.

Last night i got SOOO excited. I had a bit of mucuus when wiping and thought that it would figure, i'd go into labor when the power was out. Then one of my many trips to the bathroom i sat down and the floodgates opened. I thought my water had broke, it was THAT much pee. And i'd only peed 15 mins before and not had anything to drink in between. I got my hopes up for all of 2 seconds. Of course it wasn't, i just must have had a lot of pee held up by the baby's position. Which i am relieved to say is head down today, baby was transverse yesterday and it hurt like heck.

I'm over being pregnant. My 'no colic from overdue baby zen' is gone. Today i want to give birth. Doesn't help when dh tells me that 41w2d is a hell of a long time to be pregnant, i try to tell him others go even longer and i very well could be since there are no signs of anything.

And since when did pineapple start labor? DH was looking up natural induction methods (much to my pissiness) and he said pineapple is now listed. I eat 2 pineapples a week and have this entire pregnancy LOL. What in it supposedly sends women into labor?

I'm in!

According to LMP, my due date was May 31... but I never took that one seriously.

My own calculations pointed to June 5... Nope.

An early ultrasound said "EDD June 7" - so I guess I have to trust that one.

My DD arrived exactly on her due date as I'd calculated it, so I'm getting a bit worried... I do that... like: "Maybe the baby is malpositioned/the cord is short/similar stupid stuff and labor will NEVER start and baby will just die at some point because the placenta will stop functioning...". Why can't I just relax like the rest of you?

As of today I am now a member of this club. No offense to you ladies but yay lol.
Not too worried about things since 40wks isn't too far over my EDD. When I had my first ultrasound done my MW wanted to change my EDD to June 12 but we decided that we'll just expect this lil bug between now and then. I'm pretty much over that fact that i'm "overdue" and am just going along with this LO's plans..

MM, I agree, I love that when people ask you 'when are you due' and you can say of 3 days ago... I'm still trying to get and do lots of things so I don;t sit at home going crazy and going to the loo to check and see if I've lost my plug yet! I was the same with ds, he was 10 days over so and I was busy right up to the end. Still, I'd be pretty happy for it to happen in the next few days. I would like to just stop worrying about the logistics of it. I suppose I should just take a deep breath and let it go. After all, I don't want to do anything to induce labour really and I can't make any other decision about it right now.
So anyway, still here 40+3

I think I'm officially overdue today by 1 day! I don't remember for sure which day I got the pos ovulation test though and that meant 12-24 hours so I might not actually be due till tomorrow... but close enough to 40+1 now! I was planning on having the baby on or by my birthday yesterday but though I woke up with cramps at about 330 AM (somehow I am SURE I'm going to have the baby then) it turned out to be the runs (second night in a row!). Maybe maybe something will happen soon, but the MW doesn't want me to have it today anyways as she has a CT scan! So TOMORROW it is
