Yes. Me. And then I go to the August 14 board and look at all the mamas at 42w+ and remember that I have no right to complain.

----------- That sounds absolutely mortifying!!! I don't think I can ever mentally prepare enough to see all those poor mamas at 42+! I think my body would just shut down to protect itself! Lol
My girlfriend was 2 weeks overdue with her first put on pitocin for 8 hours and still didn't go into labor. 2 days in completely normal
I would have cried for her.
2 days can be an error in calculating your due date unless there was ivf involved or medical intervention where they know the second transfer occurred.
Isn't it like a week in either direction is considered an acceptable margin of error for a due date? Cool your jets, baby needs more time unless there is medical necessity to get him/her out. We are all miserable.
My first was late. It's never fun bc you're mentally counting down to you due date and then you go over... But, most FTMs do. My midwife's advice was to have a (reasonable) glass of wine and relax, and she'll be here soon enough.
Yes, I was due on the 1st. He'll be here when he gets here.
But I do have an induction scheduled for the 10th if he's not here by then. So I have an end date at the very latest. I just keep telling the daily barrage of msgs, calls etc.. he's not ready yet. We're anxious to meet him, but want him to be completely done!
Let me tell you a story about my mom when she was pregnant with me. I wasn't suppose to be able to happen. They told her due to childhood illnesses she would never get pregnant.. and she did.
When she did so, she knows exactly when it happened because my parents were working opposite shifts. Mom worked nights (12 hour shifts) and my dad worked days (12 hour shifts). They ran into each other about a week after their wedding anniversary and celebrated. This was their only encounter for MONTHS so it HAD to be when it happened. Because it was the 80's the doctors refused to believe her when it happened.. so they estimated my due date to be at the very beginning of March, when all of my mom's charting told her she should be expecting me around Valentines day. (My mom's a nurse.. and at the time she was on an OB rotation, she knew her stuff.) My birthday is on March 16th. They made her stay pregnant with me until then, and when they went in to do the c-section they found out that there was significant scar tissue(from childhood and adolescent surgeries) blocking my way to the birth canal and that I would have NEVER dropped down and NEVER have been born vaginally. They didn't know this because at that point the ultrasound technology wasn't there. They had no idea I was blocked until they opened her up.
She would have been pregnant forever.
I refuse to complain about how long this LO takes to come out anywhere near my mother because I feel like no matter what I go through I won't go through all that. Two days doesn't seem like such a big deal when considering an extra 3 weeks...
kshayes0315 Nah, the best part of the story is what my Dad tells.. She went in for a check up on the afternoon of the 16th and refused to leave the Dr's office. "I'm not going home without a baby, admit me." She had been going in every other day for over a week at that point and he was getting ready to suggest daily visits. She was done. He said it was one of the most embarrassing moments of his life when she actually refused to leave the office until she was 100% sure he had called the hospital and told them she was on her way.
