I have not had any pressure waves yet (aka contractions) except for maybe a random one or two total. I feel like I need to listen to my hypnobabies affirmations (I've missed a few days) as it definitely seems that I'm in a poor mood about it all.I feel like "What if my body really isn't going to do this on its own?" That was the lie I bought into with DS and caused me to allow myself to be induced at EDD+4. On the other hand though, I could imagine that it must be very frustrating for those of you that have had ongoing pressure waves on a nightly basis only to have them fizzle out and not be the "real deal". So I guess if my body's going to wait to have any kind of real sign of progress, I'm okay with my body just doing everything all at once.
Nikie - I completely get what you're saying. I don't mind so much the when are you due question, but when people go much past that I get irritated.
I've actually not gone to church for the longest time.Part of it is that I just don't want to hear comments and/or let people know that we'll be waiting for baby to come on his/her own as opposed to having the doctor "take the baby."
Gah - just got off the phone with my mother who called to check and see how I'm doing. Is it terrible that this annoys me to no end? Not just that but she goes on, "Well, no twinges anywhere or back pain or anything?" to which I replied with a very pissy sounding "Nope. Nothing going on." My bad attitude must have come across because at the end of the conversation she informed me, "Well, I won't call again to check up on you. I'll just wait for you to call me."
Anyways, physically I wish I could tune out because I tend to become hyperfocused on every little twinge hoping that it's the start of something more. All I have so far is twinges, a crampy/bloaty feeling lower down, and really achy legs and lower back. So I'm miserable with no sign of real progress. Fantastic!
