I have been hanging out over there just lurking! I was wondering the same thing.

[reducereuserecycle]

So do you all think we will have these babies on the Full Moon Saturday? I also heard that it is a lunar eclipse.

[veggijessie]

That would be great! Saturday is DH's b-day, he would love to have a daughter for his b-day! At this point labor sounds like a great party!

[reducereuserecycle]

Sounds like a plan...maybe there can be lots of babies to share b-days with veggijessie's DH !

I am 42 weeks today. I went into labor yesterday and stalled at 5cm around midnight last night. So I am still pregnant but my water didn't break and we are all exhausted (I was contracting for 20 hours) but otherwise healthy- so I will continue to wait. You would think that a 4th delivery wouldn't be so be. I am SO frustrated and tired. I have a friend here so I think I will just take a nap. ARGH!! :

I've been lurking but I'm one of you... 41 wks 3 days. Like a PP, my dh said to me the other day to please NOT have the baby that day because he had something really important at work. I wanted to throw something at him. : Then I wanted to take castor oil yesterday and my mom was telling me to wait until the weekend because she was tired. : Ok, I would like to see how the two of them would cope with being pregnant for 10 months and living the last two months being large and swollen. Since then I have had evil fantasies of UC'ing at home alone, and then calling both dh and mom to come and meeting them at the door with the baby in my arms.

I'm all for giving up now too! 41 weeks today. Sex, oil, membrane stripping no use. I put a message on the answering machine "Hi guys no baby yet leave a message." My mom is calling twice a day my mil every day the people at my son's preschool (my old job) sat me down today. they were concerened "how long will THEY LET you go!?:" "What if you go 44 weeks?!!!!" SHUT UP!!!!!!

Ugh
I'm fine, I can wait I'm a very pacient person, its everyone else who needs a chill pill

I'm still here! 40 weeks and 2 days. I had an appt yesterday. My doc sent me for a NST bc she's nervous, lol. I'm 6 cm now and no baby yet and a half an hour from the hospital so she's freaked out. Well a few contractions showed up (that I really didn't feel) so she had me walk around for an hour and see if there was any change. Luckily no change and my doc sent me home (even though she didn't want to). Now I have an induction date of March 8th if baby girl doesn't come out by then. : She said she would break my water and let me walk before giving any kind of drugs but I'm still on edge thinking about it! I'm really trying to will this baby out right now. Only thing is my doc is not on call this weekend so if baby comes then I'll have to have a different doc (and I've been through a few of them and do not like most). Who knew after my fast, very easy, drug-free labor with my son (after two unfortunate inductions) I'd be still waiting for this baby to show up. I need to ease my nerves about it all! My biggest problem (although it's a really great thing too) is I don't feel my contractions strongly at all until pushing time so it's easy for me to ignore them which then makes me think I'll be having her at home before my dh or mom can get here or in the car on the way there. Anyway I just wanted to get all that off my chest. No one (well except my mom) understands why I would not want to go to the hospital for an induction when I'm already 6 cm. Thanks for reading if you got this far!

I'm 41 weeks and 3 days. So much for a February baby! I had contractions for over 13 hours yesterday/last night. But as 5 am rolled around, everything just stopped. I'm totally burnt and feel like a fool! I sure hope labour returns because I'm going to run out of time to go for a VBAC. I'm sure I will not be able to go past 43 weeks, even if baby is doing good.

I'm still here and pregnant too! I think I'm 41w 1 day now. DD was born at 41 weeks exactly and I was hoping this little one would follow suit...no such luck! At this point I'm starting to get frustrated! I've already had 2 NST's and am supposed to go in tomorrow for another, when I made the appointment I was so sure I wouldn't make it that far.

[kathan12904]

41weeks, 6days. I've been "in labor" for about 100+hrs now. My mucus plug started coming out on thursday and has been coming ever since. My contractions seem to be working a shift. No matter my activity level, they start at around 3pm and go through my bedtime, wrapping up with one or two as I wake up in the morning. Then nothing all day until the afternoon again. I guess I'm glad of it, because this is a vbac, so the slow approach is probably helping to protect my scar, and chances are that once this begins in earnest, it will be quick, but I surely would have thought it would happen by now.

[simple life]

here too

I'm 41 weeks today. I always thought I'd go late, and now my husband and I are kicking ourselves for not fibbing a little about the LMP. Our midwife will induce us on March 11 if the baby isn't here yet. Have an appointment tomorrow, so hopefully I can talk her out of that. So I'm getting a tad nervous that the baby won't come before then and I have no desire for an induction at all! That would also mean in the hospital, which is an even bigger thing I'd like to avoid.

But babies come when babies are ready. Hopefully soon .

I'm still here...no signs of labor. I feel fine. I now know that with the next baby I will be telling everyone a due date that is like a month past the real due date.

[Kelleybug]

I just wanted to say hang in there mamas. I ended up delivering a boy last Friday at 42 weeks 2 days. It won't last forever even though it feels like it will.

[reducereuserecycle]

I am getting kinda bored with being preggo. I was just looking at my cloth diapers and baby clothes. I was even pushing my stoller around the house. I am so excited to give birth and get to meet my baby.

[ewp11100]

Ugh and why is itthat your older children sence some impending doom and act like little spider monkeys on crack..... ugh maybe I should just give up and join the april due date club , lol!

[LEAW]

Hang in there mamas! With dd,I went 42+weeks, and her ddc had babies born from Oct 3 - Feb 14... for a Jan edd!

I remember being *ready* at 34 weeks..it was a looooong 8 weeks of waiting for dd!

Ds was born on Valentines day, only a week+ late.

[Jude Rose]

good luck to the ones still waiting. i can't pretend to know how it feels, but you are all heroes to me!!!!!!!!!

[mom2mimi]

Still here! 41w 1d...pretty impatient!! The calls have started up again and I am having to find something to do to get out of the house every day. Yesterday it was Target for a new nursing friendly nightie, some candy bars, and a gossip magazine! Then Jamba Juice on the way home. Today will be In N OUt burger and the park with my boy. It is much easier to face strangers for some reason right now. If I have to hear "no baby yet?" from another person I know (and who knows I would have called if there was!) I may end up on top of a building picking people off one by one. LOL

[simple life]

I agree with getting bored with being pregnant. I have enjoyed it so much, and haven't really been uncomfortable at all. A little itchy at times. But I'm at the point now were I'm just ready to be done. With an impending induction if the baby doesn't come by 42 weeks, I'm really ready to get the show on the road . Today she is striping my membranes. I'm nervous about this because I hear it hurts a lot and also most important, the risk of waters being broken.

I'm hoping soon, very soon.
