Overdue Mama Check-In

I'm 41 weeks today and thought last night was it. Had some cramping for a few hours that really felt like they were going somewhere and then..... nothing.

I see my MW on Thursday to discuss the possibilities of drinking the labor cocktail since my EDD could have been on 3/8 putting me at almost 2 weeks overdue. All I know is I would like to have a baby soon. I've tried every natural way of induction except for the castor oil, but am *trying* to be at peace with DD coming when she is ready.

How are you other overdue mamas feeling and coping?

I am 41w 2d and it is my birthday today! When we first found out my edd of 3/9 I predicted it would actually be my b'day. We had off and on contractions all weekend. My MW came by yesterday and did a check on me, the first vaginal, and I am 50% effaced, 2cm dilated and very soft, so at least all the action of the weekend did something... I have had a lot of blood tinged mucous and some contractions today, but so far nothing for sure. I am growing very frustrated... I am so ready to have this little one in my arms...

Hi mama,
I haven't posted much on the ddc..but I am due the 8th or 9th can't remember which one LOL. One was my ultrasound date and the other was based on my LMP.
So I am still here too. I'm trying to tell myself that everything is fine..and I honestly feel like it is..but I'm getting pretty anxious. I am going with an unlicenced..very expereinced mw.So induction is not really a stress becasue of time restraints right now. But..I'm thinking by the weekend I might take some cohosh. Just can't break down and do the castor oil though.

40+2 here as well. Also thought last night was the night. Even had dh set up the pool. Then things stopped. Running on my 7th straight day of between 1 and 3 hours of sleep a night. Can.not.function. All the "natural" induction techniques are pushing me just to the edge. I'm contracting regularly, dilating, and completely effaced. Hoping my m/w will suggest something today, because i am really really beginning to feel the effects of severe sleep deprivation.

From what I understand she mixes it with some herbs, almond butter, a little champagne and castor oil. YUM!! At this point, I'll down whatever to get this baby out. But it apparently usually helps get things going.

We are only talking about it tomorrow, I'm not sure if she'll give it to me for sure. Though I'm hoping!! We are going for a HB so luckily no dr. is saying I "need" to be induced.

If one more person asks me if I've had this baby yet, I'm going to scream!!!!

Hope you guys are doing well! Hopefully we'll all have our babies really soon!!

Same here! Kinda hard to keep an EPO capsule in when I was peeing non-stop and the sweating? What's up with that?
