Still Pregnant!

[erica57401]

Let's hear it mamas! Who's still on the bandwagon?? I tease I tease - to those who have had their babies we love each and every one equally! :

But seriously, I'm still there. Still struggling with the late-pregnancy things. This morning the phone guy came over to run a new land line to our house...which caused the dogs to flip out...which caused me to have to wrestle with them to keep them from running away or licking him to death while he worked. At the same time...there is this strange man digging a hold in my front lawn and I ask him "Excuse me sir, what are you digging for?" To which he responds "Here to turn the water off." I don't pay that bill. Nope...don't pay it...in fact...its included in my rent so you can imagine that I'm freaking out right. Here I am...about to blow pregnant and the only thing I enjoy is hot baths and this jerk face is going to turn my water off...so in the middle of wrestling with the dogs, trying to convince the phone guy to NOT egg them on and stalling the water guy...I get a hold of the landlord and begin a royal a** chewing....

Then it happens...hormones begin and I lose it...I don't even have the energy to sweep the floor let alone hold my 45lb. puppy back from the gate so she wont reinjure the fractured femur she had repaired two months ago. So, what do I do?? I call DH at work, sobbing and demand that he comes home...which he does and after he gets me and the dogs calmed down...deals with the landlord, gets our water turned back on and gets the phone guy away from my sights, he informs me that he asked his boss for a raise 15 minutes before I called and made him leave work. So, I start crying some more.

wonderful...just wonderful...

on top of that...im nauscious, diallated to 3cm, having frequent BH contractions...cant sit or stand comfortably because the baby is so low she's going to fall out of me...and everyone on this board is having their babies...


so I'm looking for a port in the storm...I know there are still SOME of us who haven't popped yet.

What a day!!

I'm still here, more and more anxious, trying to relax and take it easy and enjoy this last week of pregnancy (I was due 7/12).

[finnegansmom]

Yikes, sounds like a rough morning.

I'm here, on my due date, working on a project for work. I have a room I need to finish cleaning (family room) and some diapers to wash and hang out as well. That will get done with DS goes down for nap. I feel like I'm spending the best part of the summer in bed. How boring boring boring. My feet are just so swollen I need to keep them up. I'm trying to gauge at what point I'm going to attempt any induction methods, natural, if at all. I feel like I'm approaching my breaking point, just being so uncomfortable and having SO much pressure down there. Bah.

[tangledblue]

My due date is 7/31, so I'm still here too...And baby is breech so I'm hoping she'll still flip!

[wryknowlicious]

ME!!!

Still preggo

I'm 39 weeks today anyway - so no rush.
Although all yesterday afternoon I was having some heavy contractions. Once again they started in my back and rolled around to my abdomen. the abdomon pain was tyhe 1st i've felt in 3 pregnancies.. so new experiance there.
Since last night things have calmed down adn I am obviously NOT in labor.
I just hope it wasn;t a forshadowing of another birth full of hard back labor.

I am still here too. My due date is Thursday. I am getting really impatient so if I go too late I am sure to be a little grumpy.

[143Midwest]

I'm still waiting, but I'm not due until Friday so it's not unreasonable I wait longer. But, neverminding my physical discomfort, there are several outside reasons including an impending out of state move and my husband's boat schedule that make me wish I'd had this baby a week ago.

[witchygrrl]

I'm only 38 weeks, and fine that baby isn't here yet. Soon enough!

[mhenry]

Still here. My due date is Thursday. I don't want to be impatient, but it's hard. I hoping to vbac and the doctors I'm seeing want me to schedule a repeat c-section at 41 weeks if I don't go into labor by then. I think I'll try castor oil in a week, if I'm still pregnant.

[spirit4ever]

I'm still here too! 39 weeks and 2 days! We're due on Sunday, and I have an induction date for the 25th so I'm really hoping she'll decide this weekend to make her entrance!!! I only get 3 weeks of work, so I can't go any later than the 25th... YIKES!

[HulaJenn]

37+6 here so possibly a long way to go still.

There was a carton of strawberries on sale for under 3 bucks (for a 2lb clamshell) but they didn't look very red and they weren't organic and so on.....I found these little pint clamshells of the most beautiful red organic strawberries that were the same price as the big thing and bought 2 of those instead of the one big one. Paying way more but they are SO ripe and delicious it was so worth it. So if DH comments on the price I will just play the pg card! So i am taking advantage of playing that card while I still can!

[paradoxia13]

I'm here, 38+6. I know I still have time, but getting really impatient to just be done already.

Sorry you're having such an awful day.

[kris4chloe]

Yep still pregnant here, although not due until 7/25 so shouldn't have anything to complain about. But everyone was so sure I would go early and I guess a part of me was hoping to.

Baby moving around is so strong she hurts my belly, she is a tough little one, and her head banging on my cervix, OUCH.

So sorry you had a rough morning, that sounds like my day the other day.

[isabchi]

I'm in the same boat as you. I was "in labor" last Saturday night and last night. Two false alarm. Now, I so tired and mad with . I was having regular and strong ctx for a few hours that nights, and suddenly the ctx just stopped up.:
I know I have 11 days to due date, but ctx feels like a real labor

[delightedbutterfly]

Still pregnant here... 40 weeks today!

Totally thought last thurs and fri that labour was immenent... and now nothing.

Yesterday the 14th was the day that I had predicted when I found out I was pregnant... What's even weirder is that a mom in our local preggo group just had her babe on Sunday the 13th... She had her first DD the day before my first DD and so of course it would have been cool to keep the same pattern... and being the day I was predicting... yeah didn't go as planned.

And FIL will be back in town on WED! : Which means no birthing with him not around. And I keep ending up in sobbing crying spells for no "real" reason. The other day I sobbed for an hour over my DD crying cuz she had popped in her bath and DH was talking to her about it as she knows how to tell us when she has to poop, especially when in the bath... But she's not potty trained yet so give her some leeway! But he wasn't mad just talking to her and she was upset and I lost it... no real reason I just didn't want to hear her cry

[mrforbes]

Wow, your morning sounds awful! Hugs to you.
I'm still pregnant. Feeling like the baby should come soon - I have cramps, nausea & backaches some days and then nothing but a baby so low I just waddle - ah the pelvic pressure.

And I know what you mean about our board - I pointed out to DP all the birth announcements and people in labor. Our little guy still has time though, just wish I wasn't pregnant in the dead of summer which I guess I should of thought of before accidentally getting pregnant...

Soon enough we'll all have our babies.

[LizLizard]

I'm still here, 38+2 so no rush. DD was born at 39+2, and my OB is on vacation next week, so I'm guessing something will happen then, LOL. Been having LOTS of cervix pressure and shooting pains, and feel like things are moving along.... no contrax though. But again, I am in no rush and despite the heartburn, pain and terrible sleep, have been enjoying these last few days/weeks.

[~Megan~]

Sounds like a crappy day for sure!

I'm dealing with all sorts of stresses myself but am trying not to focus on them. There are only so many things I can control and many of the things bothering me are not things I can control!

Go take you hot bath now

[pazerific]

still here too! 40+3 today, getting mildly sick of the "have you had the baby yet?"s, and just got into it with DH before he left for work. i'm hoping that maybe he's having the pre-labor hormonal meltdown for me. he was being totally b*tchy, and instead of engaging him i asked if he was just in a bad mood, to which he answered "yes" and continued on with his crab-fest. thanks DH. : cause i just looooooove getting to have you walk out the door for the afternoon/evening on a totally sour note. ugh.

[CallMeMommy]

Still here, not a damn thing going on. Due the 23rd. Getting the "Are you still here?!" comments at work, too. :
