Awesome! After my midwife telling me last night she's dropping me from care, I've had a great attitude today to stop anyone around me worrying. If I say I am GREAT!!! What else can they say?
Am I the most "overdue" here?

When were you due and why is your mw dropping you? Is cuz you are "too" overdue? Well I'm only 4 days, so can't complain to much. Like I said in an earlier post, I have a better attitude being overdue then I did just getting to my edd. ???
But I like the positive attitude. I have moments of great positivity and then I have moments of pure pissiness. My poor son is getting the brunt of my moodiness and for that I feel terrible.
The fun part though is when ppl ask when I'm due and I say four days ago. Then they want to know when I will get induced and I say never and it's just always an interesting convo b/c ppl are so stuck in the medical version of birth.
Anyways, here's to you! and me and anyone else overdue!

I hear you. People think I'm nuts b/c I am 2 weeks past. However, it's just an estimate and baby and I are doing great. I've posted about it on another thread in Homebirth. I just sent an email about due dates and such to friends and family today. My midwife dropped me from care b/c she's not comfortable.

No point in being grumpy about it, I guess! Not like it will make her come any faster.

I hope she makes an appearance for you soon, though! I'm excited to hear about your birth!

yeah I think you are girl!

But,...that only means your baby will be smarter than everyone else's (haven't you heard? babies baked longer are geniuses!! )

I keep telling everyone that this child refuses to come out because she hears the *others* and she is scared out of her little wits!

I replied to your reply to me on the HB board btw

aw I know I was thinking...
if I have this baby right around midnight, maybe she can claim the Oct bdate but use the Sept birthstone (october's is opal...and it's SO hard ot see against my kids fair skin, vain isn't it? *rofl*)

I already have 2 other babies born in Oct...so Sept WOULD have been cool, but obviously very possibly NOT meant to be.


Did I hear you say you don't like diamonds?
I think I must have mistook what you said...you don't like uberly beautiful sparkly gems of whiteness? *LOL*

Sorry to hear that. Is it just because it's a VBAC? Mine will let me go to 43 weeks. Woo hoo!

basically, my cervix is closed and not effaced, my water hasn't broken, no contrax and the baby isn't so low he's going to fall out yet.


someone somewhere had a link, but I need to put my toddler to bed. that's the short version.

how "ripe" your cervix is... points for baby's position, effacement, dilation.
5+ is good to go for enhancement (prostaglandins, etc), -5 not ready, 9 and you're in labor??

Due today 9/29, but I've always had Oct 2 in my mind for some reason. I'll be in OK spirits still this week I think. Check me next weekend for extreme grumpiness.

Midwife said baby's head was still not low & really engaged yet on Thursday & that made us think we might have a ways to go. So we've really started trying to move things along, walks, sex, more sex.

Everyone is calling & trying their best to bug me, but I'm heavily screening calls & generally doing whatever me & DH feel like doing. We're looking at it like we have a few more days left so we're going out & doing stuff every chance we get. Went to the high school football game last night, just got home from a shopping trip & will be heading out for an aggressive walk int he park in a few hours. Hey, the sun is shining & the weather is sweet. Why not enjoy it while it's here & we can, no?

See, I tend to bump back and forth between being ok and being restless.

The worst of it is when people inquire, I am sorry I don't CARE how curious they are...I dont' want to talk about or point out one more itmein one day the fact that I am still *HERE* and STILL OVERDUE.

I am getting desperate, which I know most people think I am being a ninny over because I am only possibly 4 days OD, but I have crap to do gosh darn it that I can't do while pg. Plus day after tomorrow is the longest I have ever gone OD. THATS hard to swallow. If I go past that I'lly surely melt into a puddle of pregnant loathing permanently.

I am reeeeally freaked out too because the lady that was coming to help with my kids during the day is leaving monday for 2 weeks , so i am screwed if I go into labor with my little ones here (dh works 45 minutes away...)...yeah. Good times.

Today is a *i just wanna cry day*

maybe tomorow I'll be happy to be pg again

mama. I too have a "diamond" babe and now a peridot babe.. I'm okay with it, although, I like sapphires more, but it's better than my birthstone of garnet.

oh someone posted a really good site for this on the HB board under one of my posts the other day...

9 = in labor? Not sure about that because without knowing about dilation and effacement (which Ih ave NO clue of right now) i am already at a 10

If I have time today i'll be back to post it.

Glad to hear other mamas are having the same birthstone feelings as me. I can't believe I'm gonna be pregnant in October. I really thought I'd have baby in my arms right now. I'm trying to keep my spirits high, but being that today is the last day of September I am feeling a little down.

to everyone else still waiting.
