So who's still waiting for their babe? Do you have long to wait still? What's your sense?

I'm here still.

EDD is July 20

I think it'll be pretty close to then since my others were really close to their dates.

Who else??

[scarykarrey]

I'm still trucking, EDD 7/23/12. I haven't lost my mucus plug (that I know of), and have possibly only had one waking contraction so far (I had a pang while at rest yesterday that lasted 10 seconds or less that felt very much like a period cramp). I've been having a lot of generalized discomfort since the beginning of the weekend, but who knows?

[octolars]

me!  "due" on saturday.

im glad im not the only one!!!

[octolars]

oh, and i went to the midwives yesterday.  no dilation, no mucous plus, no bloody show, nothing.

i had acupuncture yesterday to try to speed things along.

I'm still here - I haven't posted regularly since the 1st trimester though.  The computer screen made me nauseous. 

I was due on the 11th.  Still waiting.  Had a post dates ultrasound yesterday.  Everything looks great and we're okay to wait it out until 41w6d (when the homebirth midwife can no longer attend my birth) for an induction.  Hoping it happens soon...  I've had no labor signs so far.

I'm here, although I have not posted...just lurked.  I was due on the 2nd.  We are having a homebirth, so no one is too concerned or pressuring me.  Still though, getting impatient!! 

[ArtsyHeartsy]

I'm here, of course I haven't reallllyyyyy been here.  This is my first post!  I have been lurking on my phone, but it's a huge pain to post from there so lurking is all I do.

I'm not sure I'm ready, my EDD is the 29th.  I feel like this one may come early, DD1 was 42 weeks, DD2 40 weeks, but with induction due to fetal stress.  So who knows!  Baby has dropped so I pee a lot.  Fun stuff!  I just feel like I have so much to do but NO ENERGY to do it!  To top that off, we haven't really narrowed down our names.  Guess we will see what happens!

[ThreeLittleBirds]

Uggh ..ME (raises hand). Still here. Went to the chiro today and have had a few contractions since coming home, but they arent picking up. Just need to be patient I guess lol

[blumooned]

I'm still here . . . waiting! 

EDD was a week ago - am 41 weeks today.  Induction is scheduled, so the end is coming, I guess!
 

[lisarenee25]

Me...me...me - with an upside down baby who doesn't want to move..  Due, I don't know.  The 26th or 30th.

[LeaPea]

Me! 41+3 and patiently waiting! Ok, that's a lie. I am on the verge of tears and want a pint of Ben and Jerry's. So done....

[Shinyredstar]

LeaPea- I think you should just have the cry and the Ben and Jerry's. Sometimes you need that hang in there, mama...

Wondering about a few others who were due or close to due and were regular posters who haven't been around much- scowgirl in particular.

[mamatins]

Still waiting.  I'm 41 weeks today and no signs of labor.  FTM so I guess it's normal but I really don't want to be induced and I can't deliver at the birth center after 42 weeks.  Getting nervous!  My mom went into the hospital a couple of days ago with some mystery infection.  I think the LO is waiting for Grandma to get better!

[octolars]

I hope she is ok! 40 weeks today and nada. Good luck to you.

[modestmothering]

I am still waiting for the sweet arrival.  Was due on the 9th, coming up on 42 weeks.  Trying to stay calm and focused.  I have been 4 cm dilated for some time. 

[LeaPea]

@modestmothering, the wait is so hard!! I was due on the 8th and am also 4 cm dilated. This boy can't get any lower.

[ThreeLittleBirds]

Midwife appt tomorrow. We think I am 40-41 weeks along. We havent really ever been sure about my due date. I feel like a baby is going to drop out any minute..lots of pressure. No signs though. So we shall see.

The homebirth practice we go to has two midwives. The one that delieverd my daughter and has also become a dear friend leaves for a week long vacation next sunday. I need her. I really do. I dont want her to miss this. I know I need to get to a place where I dont need anyone or anything...just me and baby to do this, but in my heart I want her near me. I just have this feeling that baby is coming first week in August while she is gone.

  I think it's perfectly natural to feel you "need" someone near you for your birth.   Hoping that your little baby decides to make his/her appearance soon, and that you find peace in knowing your own power if the situation were to arise that your mw was out of town for the birth.  Thinking of you!

[scarykarrey]

Today is my due date, and I'm feeling incredibly tired. That means I'm not ready, right? I'm supposed to be restless right before labor? Tiiiiiired.

[octolars]

ScaryKArrey, when my due date came and went, I was much more sad than I thought I would be.  its really disheartening logging on here and seeing all the birth announcements.  i even got an email from a friend the other day who had her baby, and i had only just found out she was pregnant!

i have been having contractions for 2 weeks, and i get excited every time.  i have days where i am exhausted and days where i have a little more energy, but im so emotionally charged, there isn't much room for physical energy.

im beginning to have a very bad attitude.
