Me me me! Due this Saturday, 5/27. I've been feeling pretty much the same as the past few weeks lately. I've been SUPER swollen each day, which is super annoying. Just the same uncomfortable-ness in my stomach as she moves around. I have mixed feelings about when I'd "like" her to arrive. I of course am so anxious to meet her, so I'd like for her to come ASAP, but I also want more of the summer off, so if I can hold off like 2 weeks that would be good too.
My due date is this Thursday, 5/25. I know there's a good chance I'll go late, but I was really hopeful I'd be a bit early. I was born 2 weeks early, and my H was 3 weeks early. I'm just really antsy at this point. I'm definitely ready for this baby to show up anytime, and I'd really like to avoid induction if possible. I have a 40 week appointment with a NST and US on Thursday. It sounds like I would continue getting NSTs every 3 days or so after that, but they don't push induction unless necessary. I definitely don't want to hold off another 2 weeks! Haha
I'm here! This thread was a good idea cuz I feel like the overdue thread has a lot of recent grads! DH is off this whole week and half of next so although I'm sad baby isn't here yet so it feels a little like a waste of his leave at least he'll be able to come to my appt. this am! And I won't have to worry about getting him out of court for when the time comes.
Still here! 39w today - due Memorial Day. She faked me out big time this weekend which made me more anxious for her to arrive but I'm also with @Jens_Hoes in that I want more summer off! My birthday is 8/18 and I'd hate to have to go back around then! My 39 week appointment isn't until Wednesday but I'm hoping the weekend contractions dilated me enough for a sweep. I mainly don't want to add on work days next week. Only 2 left!
Speaking of work I'm annoyed with myself. I was so hopeful yesterday that the contractions might turn into the real deal that I traded off today to work tomorrow. Plus our staffing numbers were better so it would be less detrimental for me to call in tomorrow than today. But now I wish I had just worked today and gotten it over with!
Count me in! I'm due 5/29. We have an umbilical cord issue that's been monitored for months now so I am having an induction this weekend due to that (this Friday). I have had tons of contractions and have thought the baby was coming about a billion times but she's still hanging in there. It must be cozy in there although her movements toward the end are kinda painful for me so I would guess she's getting pretty cramped? So hopefully sometime this weekend she will be born. I don't have any delusions of grandeur for a super fast induction as I'm a primigravida but I am hopeful she will come before the weekend is over. Fingers crossed for all you ladies too!
@ShadeofGreen816: You're not alone in having those thoughts! It's normal to wonder "how in the world can I handle this?" and worry about what labor will be like. It's a different kind of uncomfiness, though. You just might surprise yourself at what you're able to overcome!
+1 for painful movements at this point. My belly isn't even round anymore, it's all angular and you can see the outline of her body. Clearly you don't have room, baby, come on out!
I'm here, due 5/29 but being induced 5/25. I have an appointment on Wednesday to check for dilation, if it's minimal, they will do a foley balloon, send me home to dilate and then I'll check into the hospital Thursday morning at 6am.
ive been feeling tons of pelvic pressure and started having constant diarrhea. I'm hoping she comes on her own before Thursday.
Also still here! Not due until Sunday and since I picked up work on Thursday I am now willing baby to stay until Memorial Day. But at the same time I've been feeling like absolute crap lately and baby's movements have changed so I'm like let's do this thing! Luckily the movements haven't turned painful for me yet!
So I compiled a list based off of the spreadsheet. So if you weren't on the spreadsheet, I didn't include you because I didn't have information to go off of. There were people who weren't active in the last month so I didn't include those either. I know @bacorrea is having her induction today, I'm not sure who else there is.
Me! I should be on the spreadsheet... hmm. - Due 5/26, still here... Checked out at work, already have all my stuff done or pushed out to my backups. Cannot sleep for the life of me due to hip pain/reflux. C'mon chick you're timer is up!
DS Born 1/12/13 - Molar Pregnancy 3/2014/D&C 3/2015 - EDD with Baby #2 May 26th, 2017
I am due on 5/25. I had some mild cramping last night and thought it might be the start of something, but no. Sleeping is awful, my hips hurt so I am waking up every hour. She is lower now, and the pelvic pressure is not enjoyable. @starphish18 my belly is constantly lopsided and looks really odd most of the time - clearly there isn't enough room any more! I thought I was on the spreadsheet but I guess not? Pregnancy brain...
Due this Wednesday the 24th. If she doesn't show its cesarean time on Thursday. Really hoping she evicts herself before then but she's still partying like a rockstar in there and no contractions are in sight so I'm skeptical.
@mdlorenz thanks! It has caused a lot of anxiety for me so I'm glad to get the plan in place. I'm hopeful the induction won't be too terrible but I'm close with my OB and trust her so I'm ready whatever may come!
Just got word from the doctor that we're starting induction tomorrow! I'm ready for her to be out. Hoping it all goes smoothly. I feel like she would stay in there till June if she had her way.. Sleeping is so/so right now and as @MiaQuiche84 said it's clear she has no more room in there. Having lower back pain and period-like cramps mostly at night, but no real contractions, so unless something changes induction will probably be her way out.
I'm still here too...due 5/28. I have an appointment at 3:30 today with a lot of questions abut when I can get this boy out. I am tired sore and the closer I get to my EDD, the more I'm reminded of how much I miss the ability to crack my back and pick up DD without getting short of breath.
If it makes anyone feel better, I have painful baby movement this time and did with DD too, but was able to have a natural labor outside of being induced with DD and it wasn't a nightmare by far.
I'm here and due Wednesday (5/24). We scheduled the RCS for Wednesday, but after DD threw up last night and her teacher just sent me a picture of her falling asleep eating her lunch, I'm thinking of moving it back. I want her to be able to visit the baby and she won't be able to if she's sick.
Me too! Today is my due date and Ill be induced Wednesday or Thursday. My son was induced on his due date so I've never been overdue. This pregnancy has been much more challenging with SPD and HG and I'm ready to meet this little girl and start getting used to life as a family of 4.
I'm here! @Jens_Hoes I love that you put together that roster!
Lots of ladies being induced. For medical reasons mostly?
I'm feeling very impatient, anxious, on edge. I'm sooo ready for this baby. I was ready 2 weeks ago. I'm so symptomatic I'm just ready for the next phase of this whole thing. But, I know baby will come whenever baby is ready, so, I'm trying to be patient.
@jayandaplus my doctor won't let me go past 41 and honestly I'm just done. I need to make arrangements for work and childcare for my 2.5 year old. I was induced electively with my son at 40 weeks and it was fine so 40+3 or 4 with this one feels like well long enough.
I'm still here for a little bit longer as CS is scheduled for tomorrow afternoon. Shit is starting to get oh so real! I feel pretty good, but I'm anxious to just get this done with and get back home to our two-year old too.
Today was my due date too (5/22) but it's about over and I've got a big fat nothing to show for it. My ob appt is Wednesday and we'll talk about a plan then. DD was 10 days late and I can't wait that long again!
I'm here too (boo) due date is tomorrow. Have been having cramping all day but nothing else. My induction won't be until 41 weeks so the 29th or 30th depending on how I'm progressing. Hoping baby comes on her own but who knows. Have my weekly appt tomorrow morning and I'm hoping to hear that I've made more progress. Thanks @Jens_Hoes for putting this together. Not too many of us now! @erinh2005 same here, DH doesn't have a flexible schedule so his vacation time started today. Nice to get some things done but seems like such a waste of time off without baby. Plus it means less time home with me before going back to work.
Still here! Actually this is my first post but have found this group so reassuring in the last weeks. I found it too late! First time mom. I was due 5/16 and still waiting. Had a sweep on 5/16 but it didn't result in anything except some crampiness. Induction scheduled for 5/25. Tomorrow we have an NST to make sure baby is still doing ok in there. At my appointment last week I wasn't even 1 cm dilated. My mom was 2+ weeks late with me so genes are definitely a factor here! I'm really uncomfortable and so over this heartburn. Just want to meet our little girl! DH's parents have been in town since May 14th and leave the 25th (date of induction). The way things are looking they won't get to meet her before they leave and it makes me so sad! I've had cramping on and off for a couple of weeks and pelvic pressure but not feeling contractions--just little twinges here and there. Come on baby!
Im still here, hanging on by a thread. Due date is 5/28. My Dr offered to induce me this weekend and Im so torn , I keep thinking he or she will come any minute from the amount of pressure I've been feeling but nothing. Contractions are getting strong but no pattern. Last Wed I was 3cm so kinda shocked nothings progressed. This is my 3rd and longest pregnancy to date. Mentally I am ok but physically my body feels like its just giving up.
So I will be happy to keep tabs on this list (I personally like knowing who is left), I updated it based off of what everyone added yesterday. The only people we have yet to hear from is @sweaterboots (who I know is still pregnant) and @kayemjay2. The bottom two on the list haven't been active in this BMB for a bit, so they kinda count? Every few days/as things change I can update and remove people from the pregnant forever club. I hope no one minds I started it.
@fusca515 same here! I was due 5/16. I had an appointment 5/17 and I was "fingertip" dilated. I've had cramping and a few contractions all week but no labor. I'm being induced on the 25th. I'm disappointed because I really didn't want an induction but I'm also very ready for this to be over and to have my baby in my arms!
I'm here! Still have an inside baby, but may be induced tomorrow! I spent a few hours at the hospital being monitored yesterday for low movement, but he bounced back. I have an appointment tomorrow morning, I'll update when I know more!

@starphish18@Jens_Hoes sorry for the late bump! Yes, I am 40w+4 days with zero progress due to a suspected narrow pelvis. We go in Thursday to schedule an induction or C-Section, our choice really! I'm leaning towards induction but everyone's claims that inductions are stronger/more intense definitely have me nervous!!
@Jens_Hoes Thank you for doing this and keeping it updated. It gives me hope to know there's still inside babies! (I feel like Hogwarts is full of outside babies.) So happy for everyone who has given birth, though!!
