:This is your month! :
Happy October!

Yep, for sure! I am DEFINITELY not going into November! LOL.

Yeah, if the baby decides to come at all! Honestly, I feel like my body had settled into a permanent state of pregnancy.

ha.. thats so funny because Im pretty sure Im not ever going to birth him.

Yeah! My EDD was 9/26. This is my first, so I knew she could be longer. Just waiting around.

She still hasn't dropped at all though. Should I be worried?

No, I don't think so. Many women don't experience dropping of the baby until labor. I guess it's more common for first time moms to have the baby drop weeks ahead of time, and for baby to drop later if you're on subsequent pregnancies. But this is my first baby and I think she dropped maybe a month ago, but came back out of position. She's settling in, but definitely not "Dropped." My midwives are not concerned.

Thanks for the response. It's just weird. Here I am in October with no baby yet. My initial due date was 9/16 (LMP). Then it was changed to 9/26 (U/S...but it could be off by a week or so). The only thing that concerns me is that I think I conceived on Christmas, so that puts my U/S date about a week longer than what it should be if I did conceive on Christmas (meaning that instead of nearing 41 weeks, I might be nearing 42 weeks).

I know I should stop overthinking it and just let her come in her own due time. But it's hard! I have no signs of labor or impending labor! None.

yes, it's comforting to know it will definitely be sometime in October! I have nary a labor sign too, though I know I tend to carry till b/t 41-42 weeks; it's my last one so I'm trying to enjoy what I can, it's still very hard to be patient!

hang in there. i cant imagine not being certain of my conception date right now as i know that would drive me insane at this point (b/c anything can set me off at this point! lol!). Try to keep yourself from thinking of having a baby (thats what im trying to do....not working very well..but im trying! lol!).

this last few weeks definitely tests our resolve! lol!
