This December DDC..... - Page 2

[prettypixels]

40 wks 6 days here... and honestly I'm not feeling TOO eager to be done, except that now with the increased monitoring... ugggghhh I did my first NST today and did not like it a bit. (Non-stress test) The baby kept moving so they kept losing the signal and having to start over, the chair was uncomfortable, I was in the world's most unflattering position and I got KY Jelly all over my maternity jeans... (which, btw, are my ONLY pair left and have holes in them!) : So I am telling baby... "c'mon out honey! It's fun out here! Milkies for ya! cuddles! Daddy can't wait to meet you!"

Physically I'm uncomfortable but not HORRIFICALLY so like some of the other mamas are. I just don't want to have to go and do that stupid NST twice a week, and my midwife wants me to have a biophysical profile tomorrow, so...

ANYTIME now baby!!!!

40w 5d here. Dh has been off of work for a week now, my sister is out visiting, and I'm feeling like a watched pot. Every time I go into the room with one of them "any contractions? any dilation? ANYTHING?" It's worse because 3 days ago I did have about 10 hours of ctx 5 minutes apart, they just didn't go anywhere.

And of course, we're now suddenly having the blowups about my planning on uc and not circing.

And now waking up in the middle of the night each night to puke up everything I've eaten since midafternoon. ugh.

I'm just not in the mood to read anything or talk to anyone.

My sister is freaked by uc, she leaves day after tomorrow though- but then my mom, who is even more medical than sister, is planning to come from the 26th-possibly Jan 6 and bring 3 of my siblings with her. She, of course, is pro-circ, pro-vax, very uncomfortable with homebirth, and I really don't want to have to deal with having a very angry grouchy dh, nursing toddler (I'm going to be hearing about that in strong terms too), my mom and 3 siblings in the house while I'm trying to birth.


I'm just stressed to the max and not wanting to read or talk much. But still here.

I just responded to the other thread too, but I'm not even due for another week....grumble, grumble, grumble.

I think the thought that maybe we're too crabby to post is right one...at least it is for me.

I am patiently waiting for our little one to arrive as well. I am 40w1d today and am trying to relax and enjoy the holidays. If I do not go into labor my husband and I will spend Christmas alone and that might be really relaxing. Of course, if I do have the baby we will be surrounded by family.

Sometimes I wish I could borrow a crystal ball for just a few minutes.

We're all so grumpy This is kind of funny, actually. I guess all of you were thinking like me: I'll have a babe in my arms at Christmas!


...maybe not...but we can party on New Year's with new babies...

....well, they can DEFINITELY be our Valentines. THAT much is certain

40 wks and 1 day here! Due date came and went but we had fun anyway. Now the waiting game. My dad and brother are coming to visit on the 28th, so hopefully baby will show up before then! I HOPE!!!!

As far as I go, you are EXACTLY right!

I'm starting to think this baby got lost somewhere! :

Tell them NO! Or ask what hotel their staying at. I cannot imagine having that many unsupportive people around me while even thinking about labor, much less being in labor. Best of luck to you. May your family stay away for awhile and give you the peaceful UC you want. <---now acting as the peace in the home fairy.

41 weeks + 1 day here. Really drained and despondent about the options of A) being away for Christmas from my 4 year old, who is so looking forward to it; or B) having a c/s on 12/27 because I will be 42 weeks and my OB will not induce...feeling pressured, mentally drained, and like there must be something wrong with me that I haven't gone into labor yet!! Sorry for the vent, had to get it out.

I'm with you on the Christmas thing. Now that babe has decided to stay in this long, I'm hoping to wait until at least Christmas night so I don't miss the holiday with my young ones as well. As for your OB not willing to induce/wanting to give you a c/s, what a poop head! Just remember you have the final say, and you still have a few days to go into labor on your own. : Sending 12/26 easy labor vibes to you.
