Man, I was so sure you'd have a baby when MDC came back online, especially since the stress of the primary is over. Hope something happens for you soon!

Here. 41 weeks. I think I am a huge candidate for post partum depression with the stress i'm under. i dont' know what i was thinking have a baby at this time in my life.

I don't know if you mind doing this...its a lot of editing, but if we're going to have a new "who's still pregnant" thread...i liked what Ironica did in her first post on the old one...keeping track of how many are left...

im still here too. due date was the 23rd. i went from 2cm dialated and 50%effaced2 weeks ago, to having a missing cervix last friday:. they had me npo since midnight last night to be induced today, but couldnt fit me in. now i have to wait until thursday. whatever. i dont want to be induced anyways, but the timing is really crappy now.

i too am tired of thinking everyday will be the day. between being in awful pain and the stupid contractions, sigh, its sucky.

I'm still here too. I was due on the 23rd. At my last appointment I had a posterior cervix, the baby was high, and I was only 1cm with no effacement -- ugh. I'm having lots of BH ctx, but nothing else so far. Just waiting and waiting!

Pregnant here...due the 27th or 28th--so I'm not exactly past due yet. But so far, nothing going on. I've had a little water leakage I think, and some discharge, but nothing else except for a few cramps here and there.


It's getting a little hard to deal with people lately. Did you have the baby yet? Did you have the baby yet? How about now? What about now? UGH!!!!!

I guess there's nothing I can do but sit here and wait. Any day now, any day...

oh ladies, I'm still pregnant too--was due last Thursday 4/24.

I've never been pregnant with the same person for this long!

I looked up the astrological sign for our babies, Taurus:

Patient and reliable
Warmhearted and loving
Persistent and determined
Placid and security loving
The "PATIENT" part is what gets to me.....and at the end, 'security-loving.' There's not much more secure in life than the womb, I guess.....and there's no rush to exit, apparently!

still here - 41+1. i'm measuring over 41cm and the m/w feels like the baby is pretty big, which she's been saying for quite a while, and which i agree with. DS was born 40+4 and was 9 pounds, so i'm guessing this one is going to be at least that.

i made a call earlier about a reflexology appointment, i'm hoping i might be able to have that done (as well as my chiro adjustment) tomorrow. i might also make a call tomorrow about an acupuncture appointment. there's nobody super close to where i am, but there is someone about 45 minutes away, which seems do-able.

got good news from my mom. this baby's waited so long to be born that her semester is just about over, so baby or not she's coming on wednesday and will be able to stay for a while. that made me really happy, as prior to this she would've only been able to stay a day or two because it was the end of the semester and having to grade a lot of work and presentations and such. so i'm thrilled about that change!

i am really so ready for this baby to be born!

Still here! EDD was 4/25. Had some early/pre-labor most of the night on Friday night, but it fizzled out midday Saturday.

Thank goodness I am feeling good. Since baby dropped, most of my most annoying symptoms have eased up a bit. 2 weeks ago I was BEGGING to go into labor because my back and hips were KILLING me. They seem better able to handle the weight of baby now that she is engaged and not posterior anymore (I hope).

Also, getting much more sleep lately----again, so grateful for that---when I delivered dd1, I was already chronically sleep deprived....so I am feeling much more optimistic about my HBAC, and PPD this time around.

I will say I am TOTALLY waddling, though, Baby is SO low that I can barely walk...lol. I am thinking we have a May baby on our hands, hopefully no later than Mother's Day--May 11th

Yikes! That scares me!! I'd be 42+3 which is almost reasonable... I reaaaallly hope this baby doesn't take *that* long to pick a birthday.

I was totally set to go this week...I think I'm kinda feeling down because I was so pumped up that it would be this week. Then yesterday with my water leaking....sigh

This is the most pregnant I've ever been! and word from my MW is that the babe is around 8lbs...eek..biggest one yet. Looks like everything is gonna be a first with this babe!

Still here, due yesterday. (4/27)

The waiting doesn't bother me too much yet, but the people around me sure are making me crazy! I adore Caller ID.

So what's everybody doing while they wait? I'm sure you mamas who already have little ones at home don't have tons of time to sit around twiddling your thumbs, but maybe for the rest of us

The main areas of my home have been scrubbed top to bottom to top again, but I just realized how much decluttering I could do. I'm going to try and put together another bag or 2 for Goodwill this week and maybe find a few things to ebay (although we got most of the stuff out to pay for baby supplies)

I'm also knitting. I've made 3 soakers, 2 sleep sacks, & one pair of longies so far. I have another pair of longies underway that I'm hating. Its cascade 220 heathers and the yarn just sucks. I think they'll come out okay but I'm not knitting them too quickly. I'm hoping actually that I finish them before I go into labor so I can work on a more relaxing project in early labor and while I'm recovering.

Ooh, I'm knitting too. It's all I can do to keep from going completely crazy. I finished three soakers and one pair of longies - and I'm liking the cascade 220 heathers. I guess I've just knit with acrylic for so long, anything is an improvement.

Oh yeah, I was due on the 18th, so I'm 41w3d, or so. I really have Friday the 2nd stuck in my brain, but we shall see. We had a hard time dating this pregnancy bc I was still bf my youngest, so I really have a lot more slack than I think at this point... My MW hasn't talked about a cut off date or a home induction yet... Everything is still going well, and baby appears to be thriving. So I guess I'm a good candidate for last man standing. :P
