I did NOT plan to be pregnant this long!

Mrs. Tara L · July 2009

Anyone else thing that they would magically go into labor once they hit the full term mark?

I want her to cook as long as she needs but I am so sick of BH contrax!

Vent over. Thanks.

Too bad "full term" is really a 5 week time-period huh!

With DD#1, I was so sure I'd go a little early, at least before my EDD. I was 6 days late. That was so the longest time of my life! LOL This time I'm just preparing myself for EDD = 41 weeks. That way I won't be disappointed

I went 6 days over with DS so from the beginning I told everyone "due date is Aug 27th but will probably be beginning of Sept"

Average is anywhere from 37 weeks to 42 weeks. GL

I know what you mean, I knew I would probably go to my due date, but I just feel like it has been the longest 3 weeks ever!!

i thought i would be in labor by now!! i have been a 4 since thursday..contractions on and off but still no baby!! my dr thinks i wont make it another week but im sure i will go to 40weeks or over lol!! these last few weeks seem to drag on and on!

I kept measuring a week ahead now I am 5 days to my due date and am not dilated at all. I think I will be induced the following week...not what I thought would happen!

I've been saying for a while that this kid is staying in there a good long time, and I even predicted an August baby (due July 28th). Though I never thought about going at "full term" aka 37w (still too early IMO) or even before 39w, I'm getting very anxious as my EDD is a few days away.

ETA: Pregnancy is 40w, so I'm not sure why you wouldn't plan to be pg this long. But I can understand the impatience, esp with the BH contrax all the time.

I was mentally prepared to go past my due date, but now that I'm three days past it, I'm losing my ability to be zen about it :-)

My parents are both here just waiting around for this baby to be born. I'm SO hoping I go into labor on my own this weekend.

JenniferTCU · July 2009

I've still got a long way to go but I totally understand what you mean. When people ask me how much longer I have, I reply "6-10 weeks." How's that for wishful thinking?

Don't get me wrong- I don't want him to come sooner than God intended. I am just eager to meet him.

mediadiva · July 2009

Well I knew I could well and and MAY well be for 2 more freaking weeks. lol. I went over a week last time so I've tried to set that as my worst case scenario expectation. I will admit I was hoping the old wives tail of having the second sooner would come true. My doc said it's not true, but despite that he said he thought I would go in the next week (sunday would be the END of the time he thought I would go) so clearly no one knows when the hell anyone will ever go into labor. ITS RANDOM!! AHHH!!!

i am with you. i have been measuring roughly 2+ weeks "ahead" for nearly two months.. and yet, here is 40 weeks + and the kid is not acting like he will make his appearance anytime soon.

sigh.

mamaiorory · July 2009

I am so with you. At 36 weeks my LO was measuring 40+ weeks on every measurement and the dumb doctor that performed the u/s told me I wouldn't go past 38 weeks. Of course at my appt yesterday the OB/GYN said I wasn't dilated at all and that this baby is in it for the "long haul".

pillowbling · July 2009

I'm already 5 days past EDD! All my family had to leave (they were here "waiting" for a week) so now they'll miss the birth and won't meet him til thanksgiving. Talk about disappointing! I had an induction scheduled for this Monday but the other OB in the practice cancelled it b/c he thinks it will wind up being a c-section. Now I have 2 more weeks to wait!!! AHHHHHHH!

theduck808 · July 2009

I'm still here. My doctor kept changing my due date too - I was on "overdue" watch past the 19th...then he decided to go with the 29th. If he resets my EDD again, I'm going to do terrible things to his clipboard.

murphysmom · July 2009

It's a cruel world...J/K.

I am 6 days late, and have told many people that i just felt like once my due date got here, my marathon would be over. Surprise!

CrazyLife3 · July 2009

I do not want to keep working, I thought for sure I would have this baby by this weekend. Now its Saturday night, no contractions, its looking like I am going to have to go back to work on Monday. ARRRGGGHHH!!!

This exactly. I prepared to go a week over but now that I am 4 days past due I am starting to get really bitchy.

I'm so glad someone else thought this.. I get really confused seeing posts by women who aren't at 40 wks yet that were hoping to not be pregnant by this point. I don't mean any offense at all, I'm not that far along yet and I can only imagine how uncomfortable you all must feel.
