9.5 pounds and no signs of wanting to exit

I have hit the wall with the pregnancy.  My little one was estimated at 9.5 pounds as of 3 days ago, he hasn't dropped at all, no dilation, and no softening.  I want this kid out now.  If one more person says to me, "He'll come when he's ready" I will scream.  Anyone else feel like they are at their breaking point?

    uhm, yeah. please refer to ticker.

    also, if the 9.5 lbs came from the u/s those things can be EXTREMELY unreliable.

    I really hate when people tell me to just be patient and she'll come when she's ready.

    Really? Great. I want her out now.

    I am miserable and my baby isn't even that big. I don't think. I just feel like total shiz and I think people think I'm overreacting.

    I just wanted to say don't worry too much about the 9.5 lbs. My SIL was told (by U/S) that her son was almost 10 lbs. He was born and weighed 8 lbs exactly.

    I agree with the PP's who said not to rely too much on what they say the size of the baby is.

    I think maybe this won't make you feel better...

    I was 9 lbs 14 oz when I was born.

      There is a good chance he isn't really that big. Those things can be way off. I had an ultrasound with DS at 38 weeks and they said he was 10lb 4oz. He was born two days shy of 40 weeks at 8lb 9oz.

    i feel for you!  the estimates can be off by a pound in either direction, but it still sounds like you have a big baby in there!  i have a big baby coming too and very little progress.  i feel like sh!t and i know how you feel.  sorry no words of wisdom, but you aren't alone.  :)  good news is no one has ever stayed pregnant forever, or so i hear.

    I think it sucks more when you are 10 days over and not only are people telling you he will come out when he wants to but the people at work saying "are you still here?"  Good luck not slapping anyone.  I have warned my coworkers I do throw staplers.
