Wow, it's Monday...and I'm STILL PREGNANT!!!!!

[Eaglevoice]

I can't believe that it's actually the 6th of June. My birthday is in 2 days. I thought for sure I would have this baby before my birthday. I would laugh about it. People would say, "maybe you'll have your baby on your birthday." And I'd be like, yeah right, I don't think I'd survive if I went that far past my EDD. And here I am. 2 days away from the day I thought I couldn't possibly still be pregnant on...

Wow.

Still with ya hon!

I have a midwife appointment tomorrow... we didn't even make another one after last week's because she was SURE I would go into labor!! She couldn't even believe I haven't had her yet...

Anyway, I am trying to be patient...

People are always like "no one has stayed pregnant forever"

*sigh*

I have begun responding dryly...

"well I guess there is a free spot in the record books then"

I am still here too! I thought for SURE after last nights cry, I would have a baby. NOPE< Nada. Not even a dozen surges.
My friends birthday is wenesday as well, she predicts that is the day as well. We shall see. As long as baby is healthy, & I am healthy I can do this!!! New mantra!! My body is not broken. It works & works well.

Have a good Monday!

Howdy all! Just wanted to offer a little reassurance. I went 15 days past my lmp-based edd w/ DS1 and it was pretty miserable, so I know where you are at. This time, I luckily only went 6 days past lmp-based edd, but I knew better and got that later edd... but that's off-topic.

It can be really miserable, I know. Try though to enjoy these last days. Take time for leisurely strolls w/ your DPs, drink lemonade, enjoy the weather - go swimming! Try to stay in the present.

Your bodies are designed for birth. 40 weeks is a myth perpetuated to keep docs on time for their golf game. Hang in there, you're doing so well!

Hang in there Mamas! I'm thinking about you and sending strong safe labouring vibes your way.......................... Surge~~~~ Surge~~~~ Surge~~~~

I am still here too. Talked to the midwife today and she is going on vacation on June 12. neither of us thought I would still be pregnant...but now, I want this baby out even more. Of course she has a back up, but...

My friend had her baby friday morning. She drank castor oil and rootbeer...YUCK, I wll not do that. Although I did go to wild oats and buy some blue cohosh. I dont know if I will try it yet, but I did buy it. I am going to thik long and hard about this one. I know that I will have this baby when s/he is ready, but wtf, it is 90 degrees here today, I am so sick of being pregnant.

Not helpiing any is my mother, who has recently told me she is concerned that this baby will be too big and I will not be able to deliver it naturally. I am not sure who put this in her head, as Jade weighed 10 pounds at birth ,and I delivered without even a tear. Well mamas, I hope one of us has our babies soon.

I am still here too, but I'm jumping off the bandwagon tomorrow. We have a c/section scheduled for tomorrow at 2pm. Had I not have the previous cesarean we would have waited longer for labor to start, but with my history this is the best choice for us. We've gone through a lot of deliberation and feel this is the best thing for us to do at this point. I'm really sad that I didn't get a chance to have the VBAC we wanted, but I'm really really excited to meet my baby.

I'm still pulling for the rest you mamas - hang in there it will happen!
