the "I'm still pregnant" check-in

NatesLady1309

Just wanting to see who all out there is still preggers with me. Most of the posts on the board seem to have turned to questions about newborns or birth stories so I know there aren't TOO many of us left (at least not too many who post). I'm due tomorrow but definitely not counting on anything happening anytime soon. Not too much of February left ladies... here's hoping we don't make it to March! Feel free to post whatever you want on this- venting, encouragement, progress at your last appointment or whatever. I just wanted to see who's in the same boat- regardless of if you're overdue or not quite due yet.

I am due tomorrow and still hanging in there!

My last 2 where 10 days "late" and 3 days "late" so I did not really expect to go any earlier.

Went to the Dr this morning and still 2cm and 50% effaced with her head still really high [same as I was 3 days ago]. And she kept kicking and pushing when ever the midwife was touching my stomach. So she is happy where she is still. After I was checked I did loose some of my plug but I am thinking that is more from the midwife messing around than progress. 

Our time will come and if anything we will be more than ready for labor at least mentally...

I'm still here. After everyone kept telling me I'd go early, my son has decided to prove them all wrong....that's my boy! lol Gotta laugh at it or else I'd go crazy. Bad enough I'm making up songs about being pregnant forever. It kinda hit me last night that it's definitely a possibility of having a March baby. I'm hoping that either a.) I go into labor tonight or tomorrow b.) My dr appt on Monday will show progress and I can maybe talk induction or c.) If I schedule an induction my body will go into labor before that date.

I'm not due until Monday, but yeah - still here. I had my daughter at 39 weeks, 4 days so now I'm starting to go a bit nuts because I was hoping this one would be similar or earlier... not sure why. I actually know a ton of 2nd timers who delivered their 2nds later than their 1st (but with shorter labors at least). Trying to stay positive and keep somewhat busy but it's hard. If only you could just avoid everyone's comments - I know they are all excited but it just drives me nuts every time I get a text/email/call asking if I'm in labor, despite repeatedly telling people to NEVER DO THAT.

I am! I'm not technically "due" for 3 days, but I don't really have expectations this time. There was so much pressure from family with my first because my mom had all of us early, that I pretty much lost my mind when I went 9 days over. I'm completely calm and willing to wait this time around. Although I wouldn't be unhappy if I did have this baby sooner.

I am still here and still pregnant.  I am due tomorrow, but I have long thought this little one would come later.  However like the pp everyone kept telling me I would go early because I am on my feet all day at work.  Well yesterday was my last day and I am still here with the baby inside.  

I lost mucus plug on Wednesday in the morning so since then I have been a bit more on edge but today I found myself settling back in for the long haul.  

I guess he/she will join us when ready.

Still Here! Don't give up ladies, the end is near!

I'm also still here. I'm due on Monday. Here's hoping! )

christinamcarter

Still here! Today is my due date, but we have an induction scheduled for Tuesday. As of Monday, we were still 3 cm and 80% effaced. Baby is stubborn! Being team green makes me even more impatient.

mamab3ar

Was due Wed. and not much going on just a lot of intense BH. However, I'm overly anxious because my OB doesn't usually let patients go over 41 weeks which will be here the 29th and if I've made no progress to an inducable state it's another c section

SportyMrs.23

Still pregnant here.  I have another appt scheduled at 41 weeks and we will talk induction then.  My first DD was 9 days late so I'm really not surprised!  I'm definitely ready to be done!

hannahbagels

I'm either due today (the spotting was implantation) or March 10th (it was a mini period). I'm starting to think I've got approx 2 weeks left instead of any day now. And I'm ok with that, but everyone else isn't. :P

I think it would be cool if he was born on leap day or my brother's or stepmom's birthday. We'll see.

I'm still here, anxiously awaiting! I was due Wednesday and at my appointment I was 2 cm and 80%. I lost my my mucus plug last night and had some brownish discharge today, bloody show?? I get super excited and start timing contractions but then there's about an hour space with no contractions so nothing consistent. It's like a roller coaster, I get excited then frustrated then anxious. I am getting induced on Thursday if nothing happens before then so the arrival will come soon!

SqueezeTheClay

I'm still here.  One day late.  Nothing special happening with my cervix but going for my second acupuncture treatment on Monday.  With my history though, I'll consider him early if he gets here before 9 days late

I'm still here. I was due the 22nd.

Florr18

Same here.

I'm not due until Wednesday, but still here. I have a feeling that I will be here a little while longer!  I know we are all so ready to meet our babies!!

FormerlyKrista555

:::raises hand::: due tomorrow.

I really kind of thought that my 2nd kid would come before my due date.  I guess I was wrong.

GotMilk9

I'm a little late on this post but I'm still here too. Had two relatives tell me today not to get my hopes up cause I haven't dropped yet so LO isn't coming anytime soon. Thanks. Exactly what I want to hear at this point. Have my next appt on Tuesday and we'll talk induction then. Haven't had any internal checks so I think my OB will do one of those as well. Fingers crossed baby comes before the induction date does. Stay positive ladies, although sometimes it doesn't feel like it, we're almost there!!

I thought the same thing too and DS1 was born at 39 weeks.

mikesbride81107

I'm still here too... 40w 5d and hoping something happens soon!

libindiby

i am also still here!  due on monday, but i didn't really expect too much to be happening.  i was late with all 3 of my previous pregnancies, so i didn't think this one would be any different!

Kriz_b

I'm still here too!

I have dropped, dropped over a week ago. My appt this past wed still showed zero progress. (which I know from my son can mean nothing, I had zero progress at my 40w appt then had him the next day) Because my son was almost 12 lbs my dr doesn't want me going over 41 weeks so we will be setting an induction date come my appt on monday.

first=time=mom2012

I'm here, uncomfortable and anxious. This is my first and my Dr. had me all juiced up about my "wonderful"  progress, as of Tues. I'm 4cm and 80%. I'm due on Mon., but I thought for sure that she would come this week. I'm scheduled for induction on Wed, so either way, we'll see our LO in the next few days

Mistifier

I was due the 18th, and I very well could have a March baby as that will be my induction date if baby is still not moving.  As with other posts, everyone was thinking I would be early because baby dropped the second week of January, this only makes waiting even harder!

Im still pregnant too! Im due on Tuesday but like PP I dont expect anything to happen anytime soon. I had an appt on Friday & I was only a half a cm dilated & still really high. MW said my cervix still feels hard so I think LO plans on staying in there for awhile. She also said that we will talk induction 10 days after my due date. As anxious as I am to meet my little princess, Ive had a fairly uneventful pregnancy so Im not really complaining too much. I am afraid to be induced though! Im praying that she will just come on her own, but I know thats unlikely. Im just going to continue to work & hope for the best.

kmhb2010

I'm still here! I was due on the 20th and our LO continues to be stubborn! We are scheduled for an induction on Monday, though, so in hopefully 48 hours or less we'll get to meet him!!

 Just wanted to say that it's VERY likely your (and all of ours!) babies WILL come on their own - the average for a first time mom is a week late anyway. Keep the faith, although trust me, I know that's hard right now  

smurfette83

I'm still here and still pregnant.  Monday is my due date, and the doctor seems pretty convinced that little one will make an appearance some time within the week.  Of course I'm perfectly content just being patient and letting her come on her own time except that I really don't want to have to go to work next week!!  That, and my family is getting super anxious and impatient!

EJ711

I was due the 22nd but the baby has not made an appearence yet! If I don't go by Tuesday I'll be induced, just missing a leap year baby.

Morocco

im still here due friday .. no sign of imminent arrival

BrownMa

Still pregnant and due tomorrow, it wouldn't be so bad if I didn't keep getting calls asking if I still was.  I feel like doing a daily PSA on facebook.  Ahh!!!!

lp81502

Still here as well - 41 weeks.  My MW will let me go until 42 if I want to, but it makes me nervous waiting that long so I will most likely be induced sometime this week.

Daisy07gray

I'm still here.  I haven't posted too much but am done working since I was due the 12th (yup, 42 weeks pregnant & sure of it- we charted, a lot, etc to get here) and now I'm a little more than antsy.  We're up to daily appointments to make sure the little one's doing good in there and really hoping things move along soon.
