So, pg June mamas, who else is still left??? - Page 3

Still waiting for now, but my most recent 24-hour urine came back more elevated than last time (which was more elevated than the time before : ) so when talking with my MW on Saturday it was pretty much said that if I'm not in labor before my Monday 4pm appt, I'll be sent upstairs to be induced, so I should bring my bag with me. I'll be 40 weeks, and with the pre-E now climbing instead of holding relatively steady, we don't want to push our luck. Soooo, not what I had in mind, but the EPO isn't doing the trick, DTD with DH isn't doing the trick, and I just can't do the castor oil.....I tried to be up and about and more acitve yesterday, and I paid for it last night I was swollen like crazy and it took forever for it to go down. I'm of the mind that everything happens for a reason, so there must be some reason she hasn't come yet, and some reason if I need to be induced.

So, unless I go into labor in the next26-28 hours, I'll be induced and should have good baby news by Tuesday!

to everyone else who is still hanging around waiting!!

Still waiting here, too....although I have a feeling this may be it, maybe later tonight? I've been contracting way more intensely than ever before pretty much all day today, for the first time I've had to stop what I'm doing for some of them. I've had tons of bloody show and cramping and back pain, baby feels MUCH lower (I can barely sit comfortably!) So if I can't hold out until DH comes home, then I want to get going here while my folks are around!!! Of course now that I posted this everything will probably stop!

Still pregnant over here too. Today is officially my due date and there's no way I thought I'd ever make it to today. So I "feel" very overdue! I guess I've settled into the waiting game, cuz I feel less agitated that Im still waiting. I repotted 6 of my plants today and we went and had mexican food. Maybe this is that burst of energy they talk about. Oh well, I've stopped trying to read into all the twinges and cramps and Im going to just be........

I'm still here too...although I thought that I was going into labor this mornning...during church I started having intense contractions that lasted until about 1:3o and then they just stopped. If I don't go into labor before Tuesday I will be induced Wed...partically because I haven't dialeted any...or lets rephrase that I did and then I closed up...and partically because I have gestational diabetes and we are not sure of the size of the baby. So Wednesday looks like the day that I am going to have this baby.

I am right here with you! Due today as well...all these crampings in my cervix are making me hopeful but I'm planning to just "go on with life" and not sit around waiting.

I wonder which of us will go first???

I am hoping that I won't be posting to this thread here for too much longer I have been having contractions all day long and am really, really, really hoping this is it. I am going to go to bed and you all will see a nasty-crabby update from me if I wake up pregnant tomorrow The 12th seems soooooo long ago now, who knew that 2 weeks could move so slowly when that due date comes up and you pass it by?

Erika~hoping to hear about your babymoonin' next!!

Terra~I don't know whose gonna go first, but I'll tell ya I don't feel much activity over here

Ok, so who else feels like freak of nature. I was shopping w/ dh Sat. at the mall and I was in Bath and Body works picking up some lotions and soaps when the saleslady brings me a tote to shop with. She's makes small talk and asks me when Im due and I say tomorrow and the lady shopping next to me hops back as if my water will spontaneously break and soak her shoes!! The look on her face was priceless!! When did it become necessary for women to take to their beds the last few weeks of pregnancy. People look at me as if Im nuts to be walking around and going on with life so close to my due date!!! Now I can't wait to tell people I was due yesterday!! Im also getting people asking if Im having twins: Im actually all belly and only 4"11" so Im sure it looks like Im huge, but Im only 155lbs, but people look at me as if I have a third arm!:

Argh. No action here either. What really sucks is that we are in the middle of a heat wave. I can't take it.
This feeling is akin to being picked last for a sports team, isn't it? I just keep wondering when it will all happen. If baby holds out until Saturday, he could be a real Canadian born on Canada Day! I guess we'll see...

So really, how many of us ARE actually left now?

I laughed when I read "who else feels like a freak of nature" and all after it. I have for weeks now! Everytime I'm out and about men look at me with huge eyes like..OMG! One guy actually walked past me and said.. "DAMN! You are pregnant!!!". I'm so used to it that I didn't even realize he was talking to me until a friend started laughing and said.. I can't believe you didn't reply to that. What was I supposed to reply to? Laugh. Women tend to give me an uncomfortable smile... Like Oh you poor thing look. I'm huge. Everyone, including our family and friends believed for a long time that we had twins in my belly. I had to keep on telling them.. nope.. unless the US was wrong... which I hope not at this point! Eek. I've been out to eat at a resturant a couple times in the last month with friends and the last time I was there the host said "I was sure you were going to have the baby 3 weeks ago when we saw ya!" Nope. No such luck. Laugh. Now people ask when is babe due and I say.. Oh she's was due about 5 - 6 days ago. They get this look as if I'm going to go into labor in front of them. When I go for walks people watch me.. I wonder to myself if they just want to see me go into labor right in front of them or something. I feel like I'm always being watched while out and about.

The other day I had a breakdown and was super upset that babe is not here yet. Husband who was at work at the time said "You should get out and go for a walk". My reply while being upset.. "People just stare at me when I'm out and it's annoying me!!!!!!!!!!".

So do I feel like a freak of nature... at times I do. I think the attention is funny sometimes and other times I just get really annoyed by it.

Oh, and yes.. I'm still here. Tomorrow I have an appointment with midwife. I was crossing my fingers hoping I would not make it to this appointment but obviously the little girl in my belly has other plans. I've run out of days to hope for and just want her here!

My contractions went on regularly for about 27 hours before they died off. I really think that the baby's head isn't quite in the right position so it just isn't putting enough pressure on my cervix to make changes. I am now using this time to rest and recharge myself and rehydrate too. I am a little bit bummed out, but it might pick back up tonight. For now though, we are going to enjoy the evening as it is our anniversary. I am actually not so crabby about it all anymore, I am just trying to be peaceful and take it as it comes. Today i am now 42 weeks, I wonder how far along I will go this time. Looks like I might be posting to this thread for a little bit longer yet

I'm still here, too. My MW is really wigging out about my blood pressure, which is not high, just high for me. 160/80, I think. I was due on the 21st. I just want to see our new little girl and stop being hassled by the mw. (we are doing it UC, anyway.)

This is a FANTASTIC attitude! Good for you! Hang in there...your body (and baby) knows what's best...

And this is why I am so happy I chose a UP! I can't handle that "freak out" energy around me--especially right at the end. Just listen to your body and your baby! I am sure everything is perfectly normal.

I'm still here... still.

I had a DA yesterday and I've had some progression. My dr doesn't want me to go past 2 weeks over, which I'm kinda okay with. But I had a choice between this week (at 1 week 1 day over) or next week (at 2 weeks over). I've decided to wait, mostly due to my family's history... I was 4 weeks late, my bro was 3 weeks late.: Also, my nephew was 3 weeks early and is showing a lot of signs of being a premie. So I've decided our family just prefers to cook longer.

So, I'm going to put off induction for as long as I can "get away with". But I still want my baby NOW!
