July 2011 Moms

May be the first overdue on the board

Had my OB weekly and she said I may very well get a July 4th baby. My length has shortened, etc but still need real labor to get things going. I baked some chocolate chip banana muffins this morning. Now I'm thinking cheesecake. I am happy that this OB is letting nature run it's course and isn't talking induction just because it's my due date Thursday. She suggested sex to get things moving but that was so unpleasant awhile ago I'm not sure I could talk MH into it. Not sure what the point of my post is, maybe to let the girls at 36w b!tching know it could be worse? ;) Knock on wood I have very little swelling this time and in general other than being uncomfortable and tired all the time I'm fine. Maybe standing in my kitchen some more will get things going. Chocolate chip cheesecake here I come. I plan to do individual ones in muffin tins so I can have one or two this week then freeze the rest for my sister's 4th of July party. Not going to eat a whole one :) well unless it gets to be like the 12th and I'm still pg. Then I might in a pity party.

Re: May be the first overdue on the board

  • A) Envious of all your delicious cooking!

    B) Applaud you for taking your due date in stride and not really rushing to get LO out

    C) Whenever I start feeling whiny, I check myself by saying there are still as many as 5 weeks to go, so CHILLAX!  Your post was a good reminder.

    Hang in there!!!  Sounds like you are doing all the right things keeping yourself occupied.

  • I know my EDD isn't until Saturday but I just have this gut feeling that I will be late this time as well. I am thinking I will make it to at least 41 weeks. I am ok with that too. As bad as I want this little girl out I really want her to wait until after July 4th! I don't want her to have a July 4th birthday and really never get to have a birthday party without fireworks going off every second.

    Yes Yeah it's not even July yet.  What's going to happen when people actually reach 40+ weeks?

  • Heres the recipes: chocolate chip cheesecake and hopefully theres text and another link for banana bread if putting in chocolate chips, omit the cinnamon, use oil instead of applesauce. I baked them about 35min with 1/4c batter sized muffin tins. Made 24.

  • I know I don't post over here much anymore.  I found myself thinking of you, so I thought I'd pop over. 

    I'm sorry baby still hasn't made an appearance, but it seems like you have a great attitude about it.   I just keep telling myself I am going to go to 42 weeks, that way anything earlier is a nice surprise. 

    And your recipes sound awesome!  I think I know what I'll be making tomorrow.

    Yeah, I figure there's no point in stressing. It's an estimated due date, not set in stone. :) Glad your LO is still doing well too. :)

    Right there with you! My edd is either today (based on early u/s) or Friday (based on LMP). I have chocolate chip banana bread in the oven, and sauce & meatballs on the stove. My feet and legs are exhausted because I also went shopping for some of those ingredients this morning. I go back to my dr on Thursday, last week there was no real action, but my cervix was soft. We'll see. I'm hoping for something around the 4th!

  • I like your positive attitude about it!!! I am going to remember this when I'm 39 weeks and still waiting. The answer: bake lots of yummy foods. :)

    Ironically after my appointment I went to the store for bread and meat for dinner. I came out with bread, cream cheese, Oreos, and eggs because I started thinking about that cheesecake and not what to have for dinner. We may just do pizza tonight. It's been awhile & MH is wanting some lately.

  • I'm so glad I opened and read this. I almost didn't because I was afraid I'd want to slap you if it was another one of "those" posts. But, yay!! I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one that is not freaking out about due dates or getting the baby out early. Yes, I'm ridiculously uncomfortable, exhausted, can't sleep, swelling in the heat, etc etc etc., too. But, my LO will come when she's good and ready and I'm fine by that! :) In the meantime I've been wanting some fresh baked cookies, maybe I'll take a cue from you and get on that!! :)

  • Gasp.. what?? you aren't scheduling an induction for June 30th?

     Going overdue (or even reaching your due date) doesnt seem like its going to be very common on this board.  My midwife won't even consider me overdue until 41.5 weeks, haha :( 

  • You are so not alone. I'm due on Sunday and like some other women's doctors my Doctor won't even consider inducing me till 41 weeks. Does that make me happy? No but I know its what is best because if he induces right now I have triple the risk of having to have a c-section.  Also, I know that even though I'm showing very very little progress that it could happen at any minute.

  • I am with you.  My due date is Friday and I have no signs of progress.  The latest the doc will let me go is either July 8 or 11, so I guess I don't have THAT long to wait, but it sounds like eternity.

    I totally agree. At my appt yesterday, my cervix was totally closed and my doc said she wouldn't be surprised if I went to 41 weeks. I'm just telling myself that my daughter will come 2 weeks late, so that I won't be antsy. Anything sooner will be a pleasant surprise!

    i'm doing the same thing. everyone keeps asking when the baby is going to get here. i keep saying "he'll give me a call when he's on his way. but for now lets guess august something" shuts 'em up

  • Hmm, just wrote a whiny post about this.  I'm due Friday but nothing is looking favorable at the moment with my cervix.  I'll be induced Tuesday b/c of ACOG recommendations for old ladies like myself(and I looked up the literature  and feel its appropriate advice).   I am also on a baking frenzy these days and plan to make some muffins and a chocolate cake for a party on Friday.   I hope your baby decides it is a good time to arrive soon and things go smoothly for you!

  • It's probably better to have more overdue than go early right? You won't be alone for sure. I'm due Friday and have no signs of labor yet. I do have some progress though, so maybe I'm just one of those women who don't get contractions beforehand. My cervix is in the anterior position and it was 75% effaced at week 38 and 39 appt and I'm dilated to 1.5cm now. Still out walking a couple of miles a day, feeling great. Just not sleeping all that well. Oh well! I've said over and over throughout this pregnancy that I want to let nature take its course. Not going to let this hot weather and a LITTLE discomfort get in the way of that.
