The suspense is almost too much. Anyone else having the same anxiety? I am working full time up until she decides to come and its getting a little harder as we continue. I was hopful she would show up by her due date monday but that is slowly starting to dwindle out. Is anyone else having these kind of doubts? What do you do to help?
Re: Feeling like she is never going to come.
I think we ALL feel this way--read back through the past few weeks and you'll see.
Just remember you can't be pregnant forever. Your OB/MW will induce or figure out a way to get the baby out. And try to find a way to distract yourself.
I know, easier said than done. I'm there too. All of us are.
Take care! LO will be here before you know it!

I feel your pain! I'm due the 14th and it's so hard to hear my MW say that I can have this baby from any day now till the 28th...the 28th seems so far away! I just want to meet this little kicker...we are team green so the suspense is starting to get to me!
I know I won't be pregnant forever...so that helps in remembering that L&D will happen!
Yup, I agree. If you have a hobby, now's the time to really use that as a distraction.

Ahhh, yes! We are due the same day and the suspense is killing me! I am also still working full time and even that is not enough of a distraction. It's almost making it worse since I can't stay comfortable at the office. Thankfully I am able to work from home so I've been working half days in the office and then coming home for the remainder of the day. My doc won't let me go a week past my due date so worst case scenario, I have less than 2 weeks left. I guess I should just suck it up and hope the baby decides to come before then!
Agreed to all of this. At least you are closer than some very end of the month-ers.

This. Sometimes I feel like OMG I just can't wait any longer (my EDD is next Thurs) but then I remember that I'm lucky that I still have some time to pick up last minute items and think, thank God I'm still riding solo when I run errands, it will be a thing of the past shortly!
I feel your pain. I am three days overdue and the suspense, anticipation, anxiety, nerves and just general impatience are killing me! I'm such a planner, and it's really hard for me to not know when baby will show up. I was so sure he would be early, and then my due date came and went, and it was such a huge let down.
I too wanted to work up until I went into labor, but I finally told work today that if baby wasn't here by Friday, that would be my last day. I had really wanted to save all my leave (12 weeks) for when the baby is here, but I have reached a point where I am so emotionally and mentally drained, that I had to cry uncle. And actually, having a firm stop date feels like a huge weight off my shoulders. I am still hoping to go into labor before Friday, but I feel better knowing I'm done after that even if I don't.
The odd thing is that I'm not even all that uncomfortable physically (relatively speaking, anyway). It's just sort of an emotional drain when you have a date in mind and then it comes and goes. Yes, I know babies often come late, especially first babies, but sometimes you can't separate the rational from the emotional when it comes to such a big event in your life.
Hang in there... you're not alone!
