omg, I'm going to be pregnant forever, aren't I?

I know that many of you can sympathize...

I just got back from my weekly check up and I haven't dilated anymore since last week--and that was less than a centimeter. And for some reason, my back has started hurting...and it was hot at hell in the doctor's office....and waaaaaaaaaaah!

(sorry, I just needed to whine)

anyway, suffice it to say, I'm still pregnant, nothing interesting to report here :-(

Your LO will be here before you know it, enjoy these last few days with your DH. Lots of people I know went into labor on the weekend (I did on a Sat night), so maybe this is your weekend.

maybe your back labor has started?

you will eventually have this baby but it's really hard in the end. Are you walking? Have some raspberry leaf tea (wegman's has it)

you are going to hate this, but have sex. seriously, that's what the doctor told me at my 38 week appointment and i had little man 2 days later. she said it really does work.

Sounds like he must be pretty comfortable in there! Is there a date when they will induce you if you don't go into labor before then?

I'm sorry - I know it must be no fun just sitting around waiting (especially while being totally uncomfortable). I hope he gets moving soon.

yes, they said that (barring any problems with the baby), they will induce on the 30th if I haven't had the baby by then. That just seems reeeeaaally far away right now!

Jeeze - I agree - that seems really far away! I definitely hope you don't have to wait that long.

Aw, I can certainly sympathize! Considering the avg pregnancy is 41 weeks and 1 day, it can't be much longer!

I know the feeling! ?We got to the point where we almost felt like we weren't going to have a baby and went back to our normal lives! ?It will come soon, and believe it or not, 3 weeks after giving birth it feels like a lifetime ago that I was pregnant, and all those pregnancy aches and pains went away IMMEDIATELY. ?We can't wait to hear your little one is here!

I definitely understand! though I have started to dilate, it doesn't really mean much...I think the latest they'll let me go at this point is april 6th - so you're way ahead of me!

Hoping to offer some comfort. At 40 weeks 3 days (a Wednesday) went into the office because something wasn't feeling right. They checked me & baby out and everything was fine. I never had dilation. Was still very posterior, but softening. I had a scheduled induction for Friday for mild pre-e...doc said, "see you then". I went into labor on my own that night. I started timing contractions at 5:33 p.m. and DD was born at 1:50 a.m.?

Your LO will be here in the blink of an eye. Good luck.?
