So i know im only 3 days past due date but i am so irritated and emotional. Im so ready to have this baby. Im tired. Last night i was lying in bed watching a movie and all of sudden i just starting bawling my eyes out. Just a minute ago i almost started crying again but didnt i held it in. Im literally miserable. How is everyone thats past due or due coping with this?

((hugs))

I'm just a couple days over my EDD and my spirits are pretty high. I'm just living each day like I did the last...knowing that the baby will come on its time. So, I clean like normal, relax like normal and spend time with the kids. I did go for long walks the last couple of days...today it's raining though.

Sorry you're feeling blue, but if it's any consolation... That is always a sign for me that labor is right around the corner. I always go past my due date a few days, and I always hit a point where I feel weepy and extremely irritable. I usually go into labor within 24hrs when this hits. I don't know if it'll be the same for you, but it's sounds promising...

I'm only one day past my EDD, and I'm having a hard time being positive today. Yesterday I just knew would not be a birth day, and I was okay with that. But I had some really strong contractions during the very early morning hours and I really thought today might be the day.

Despite that, I was doing well until my husband suggested we go see FIL this afternoon. I love FIL, but it was as if dh was saying "it's not happening today." It really bummed me out. So I'm just trying not to be impatient or unreasonable.

With my last one I went through that. And for the firs time today I am feeling emotional, ONE day past my due date (I was 20 days late last time). So, I'm just doing whatever I feel like. Watching a movie with my kids and on my way to get a cookie...

I'm on day 3 post due date too. I feel a little grumpy, but I'm going for a long walk, and I might do some EVO this evening. Nothing to do but embrace the unpredictable nature of births

I'm just marking time. I feel lousy, DD is being a pill, and DH is in the middle of an 8 day stretch of work. Every hour feels like an eternity.

I understand. Last night I couldn't sleep until close to 2 am. I was so uncomfortable, feeling so much pressure I thought I was going to throw up...All I could do was lay there and cry. Not much longer and we will be holding our babes!!!

I went to 41 weeks with my son and wasn't particularily impatient because I was so terrified of induction. It probably sounds silly but it worked. I just kept telling myself that he'd come when he was ready.

I'm telling myself I'm not having this baby until November. I figure if I allow myself to be impatient/desperate I'm more likely to agree to an induction
