It's My "due date" and I'm still pregnant! - Page 2

post #21 of 29
ugh. i think i've almost hit the wall too...
i am either 38 or 39wks- i have two due dates because my cycles are wacky. the first is the 9th, the second is the 16th, but really they are both guesses. we've been going with the 9th because i've been measuring along with it. but the thought of possibly being pregnant another 3-4wks is not so appealing to me right now. :
1st DD born at 42wks, 2nd at 40wks 4 days, and we knew when both of them were conceived. i have a feeling however that this baby is full of suprises! s/he really seems to want privacy.

and cake, i want cake now too.

cake! cake! cake! I figure baby has had plenty of healthy healthy food, I'm going for good coffee and my son's leftover birthday cake. What's baby going to do, get fat and be obese for life and become a coffee addict in a week? No way! Mama needs some comfort food!

But I actually really really hope baby keeps holding on until closer to actual due date (I'm 38wk now) because next week is ds's first week of pre-k and I want to give him lots of one-on-one time while I can. Boo-hoo, my first baby is not anywhere near a baby anymore! WAH! Where's that cake?!

Lol - fluffy, you bet!! Now instead of counting - I just say okay I have another 7 days to go! As of now - Im hoping that I'll have the baby by the seventh due to the full moon!! So that means four more days to go! We'll see

heheh yes, I'm betting on that full moon thing too! The 7th sounds like a good day. That said ---> anytime right now would also be fine! lol...

LoL - for sure!! Anytime would be just fine too. I'm really hoping to have this baby for sure by at the latest Wednesday because hubby has the long weekend playoffs that I don't wanna miss which is funny because I was planning on staying home for several weeks enjoying my babymoon. Oh well - I can do that in between and after that playoffs then off to my babymoon! That is - if baby comes! If not - then I'll still be pregnant during the playoffs which would be better cuz I don't wanna people coming over and touching the baby at such young tender age!! : Just me and my family for the first few days or week Even so - if baby born, I can always tie her in my M.T or wrap or whatnot to keep it hard for people to touch, Hehe.

Darn i thought it was labor

so i have been having BH for days constantly...all day long...ugh. having a bowling ball for real is really hard to deal with. i started having painful contractions about 4 p.m. but i couldn't time them they just seemed to be constant with peaks and valleys. a friend was visiting in town and wanted to go out to dinner so i had my husband come along with me. sitting in the resturaunt the contractions got more powerful and i wasn't really wanting to be in a convo. told dh that it was time to leave and by the time i get to the car i am in a lot of pain and starting to cry and i told dh that i think this is labor...i hadn't said anything to anyone cause i figured it couldn't be labor. we get home and i lay down and dh calls the mw. contractions slow down....finally stop and everyone is still all up and excited. bummer.....i am really ready to go so i guess i will have to start walking tomorrow...gotta get groceries so hopefully that will help.

its really kinda dissapointing cause i mean that false labor was really really intense....i just couldn't fathom that it being that painful and hard that it could stop!!!

come on baby!!!

It totally sucks that it stopped, but one way to look at it is maybe you dilated a bit. I have a friend who just had her 2nd about 4 months ago and for some reason she had a bunch of false labor, but when she finally did go she was 4cm and her labor was only 3 hours from start to finish!

i am SURE something has been happening the past few days. tons of BH, false labor etc. i swear if i go another week like this i will just all the sudden stop and start pushing!! course the entire week i will be completely useless cause i will be constantly having to stop and rest or take a shower...i think i prefer a longer labor than feeling like crap for much longer. its gotta be today or tomorrow. i have an appt. tomorrow morning so if i make it till then i will find out what changed and what they think. i swear though i am done and to put as a friend does I QUIT!! the incubator is done....booby feeder is ready!!

I'm not even going to mention due dates. I just want to be able to breath again. Maybe be able to make my bed without feeling like I just ran a marathon...
