Going overdue has made me crazy.
For whatever reason, when I think of going into labor I see myself waking up at night with contractions that progress until I go into the hospital the next day to have my LO. (maybe I've watched too many movies or something). Anyway, so as I approached my due date and now that I'm overdue every morning when I wake up for my day and realize that I've not gone into labor in the night I wake up PISSED OFF. Another day goes by that I don't get to meet my little guy. Its ridiculous... I am a crazy person.
Re: Overdue Confession
That SO sounds like me when I was at the end w/ DD. And confessions- I totally tried drinking a little bit of castor oil- DON'T do this- it will just make you feel ill for most of the day, and do nothing else) and my dr. wanted me hanging out at home and I went for like 3 mile walks everyday (I wasn't high risk or anything, so I wasn't in danger).
Hang in there- he'll be here in no time! I know it's so hard to keep busy, but is there anything fun you can go do? Movies to rent? Sending lots of labor dust your way!!
The plan is to induce on Friday if he hasn't come on his own by then...and its not looking promising as I haven't dilated or anything on my own at all.
I started maternity leave yesterday, and I've been trying to do nice and fun things for myself. Yesterday I watched movies on the sofa, went shopping, got a pedicure and my eyebrows waxed. Today I have another doctors appointment for a NST and a check. Heres hoping...
