Overdue Ladies with Inside Babies Checkin

How far along are you? 

40w4d

What is/was your birth plan?

Vaginal birth with epi. This is still the plan, there are just other things that will be done so this can happen. 

Eviction notice: has it been posted? Do you have a plan to get that baby out? Firm end date to this misery?

Induction date is set for Wednesday.  Yay!  And am I the only one who isn't miserable?  I'm sad my pregnancy is coming to an end, but I'm excited to have an outside baby!

GTKY: If you could say one thing, with zero consequences, to all the people who are inquiring about the status of your cervix what would it be?

Probably something to my mother, she is driving me crazy!!!!

41+3 or 42
Heading in for a biophysical profile in a few hours. 3rd membrane sweep this evening. Praying there will be notable progress from Wednesday's sweep. Starting to get really nervous that LO could be in danger. Thankful for lots of movement today.

Pineconey... What is your status?! Was there any progress.... I hope for your sake there has been.

I'm 40w5d today. Still not a GD thing going on down there. Induction date set for 4/27 when I hit 42w. I'm at ease knowing I won't be pregnant for more than 9 more days but I don't like the idea of an induction...not one little bit.

How far along are you?  40 weeks, 1 day

What is/was your birth plan? vaginal, med free in birth center

Eviction notice: has it been posted? Do you have a plan to get that baby out? Firm end date to this misery?  we got a cute video of our son saying "Sissy, out!  Right now!"  The birth center midwives will let me go to 42 weeks.  My sister is in town for the next 6 days so FINGERS CROSSED she comes before then.  Our son was 4 days overdue.

STFU!!!  Trust me no one wants this baby out more than I do!!!  She will come when she is ready and there is NOTHING I can do to change that!  And believe me when she is here we will let you know!

Also, a frustrating tid bit.  The midwife we were really hoping to get has been on call all week.  A new midwife will be on call tomorrow.  I love all the midwives but she delivered my son and we were really hoping to have her again

Now I ca join too!

How far along are you?  40 weeks, 3 days

What is/was your birth plan? vaginal, med free or with epi (I can decide on the spot) in a hospital

Eviction notice: has it been posted? Do you have a plan to get that baby out? Firm end date to this misery?  Tomorrow I'll see my OB/GYN, she'll check the amniotic fluid levels and how the baby is doing, and we'll decide then. Probably we won't go over 41+3, hopefully LO decides to come earlier, but I am at 0 cm, so I am not really hopeful...

GTKY: If you could say one thing, with zero consequences, to all the people who are inquiring about the status of your cervix what would it be? People are not really annoying - sometimes I get messages from work, but more than that, nobody is really bothering me. People are waiting for this baby mostly to know the name, which we won't reveal until she's here!!!

I'm 40 weeks 4 days. I'm planning a mostly med-free labor.. Want to labor at home as long as I can but I'm not opposed to the epidural if I need it to relax and sleep. Had my membranes stripped today, was 2 cm and 60% effaced.. My midwife says she thinks I'll have this baby in the next couple days and I sure hope so! I am not planning to get induced until at least 42 weeks.

Just another check in for me:

I'm 41w1d now. Have my second NST/AFI tomorrow, membrane sweep/check up on Thursday and then an induction Sunday at 42w if nothing happens between now and then.

Reaaaaaaaally hoping my body and my baby get their ish together and do this thang naturally!

Rrrrrachel

Ultra sound and nst scheduled for Friday (41 weeks) and induction scheduled for the 30th. Here's hoping I don't need either one.

PoppySeedWindsor

Fingers crossed for you @Rrrrrachel!

**waves** still here! 42w. Like a boss.

40w+4

The plan is a natural water birth at a birth center, just like DS

No eviction notice. I have an NST Thursday when ill be 41 weeks. Ill probably ask to be stripped and hope for the best!

Ugh. If I could say anything it would probably be something like, "why? You want to check it out for yourself?"
I'm so annoyed by the texts and calls. Some are more subtle with the- "just thinking about you, how are you feeling?" But I KNOW they are just hoping to hear me say " I'm in labor and you're the first to know! Congrats to you!" People suck.

I hear ya! Honestly, people have backed wayyyyy down the longer I go. Which I'm thankful for because I swear every pregnant person I know IRL is having their baby before me. A 37w and 40w just had theirs in the last 2 days. Gahhhhhhhhhhh! Give me the labor juice!!!!!

What is/was your birth plan? Natural/unmedicated

Eviction notice: has it been posted? Do you have a plan to get that baby out? Firm end date to this misery? I see the dr Wednesday, we will talk induction then.

I just tell people I'm hanging out at a 3. Kid still won't make an appearance. This isn't my first rodeo... and I really don't think it's a big deal if people ask. It's the constant "are you in labor yet" texts i get that make me want drop kick some twatwaffles.
