Elders' pity party

water-fairy · August 2009

Where are my desperate ladies?
Isela, you around?

I went shopping with a friend who is due 9 days after me (gotta love the scared looks of everyone around us) and nothing happened... we walked around stores for hours. In a couple of hours it will be my due date and I don't have a single effing contraction. In 12 hours I have my 40weeks appointment... and I bet there will be absolutely no progress Sad

Im always up for a pity party. Ill bring donuts.

shadowfeet · August 2009

I would like to officially join the party.

My 40 week appt is Monday and I think I have decided not to show up. They want to talk induction and I don't want to argue.

BTW, I would like to officially blame my crappy mood on the full moon crap from last night!

Good luck tomorrow!

I'm sending you dump trucks filled with labour dust! And tomorrow there will be progress! Think positive!!

GL!!!!!

I thought positive at 38weeks... and was kind of bummed when she told me I was STILL 2cm and 50%.

I thought positive again at 39 weeks... and she told me again that I was STILL 2cm and 50%... and then I cried.

Now I prefer to cry (almost) and be surprised if there is any progress... I doubt there is.

I think my first official action as part of this party will be to go scarf down some chocolate chip cookies and a glass of milk. Might as well do it while I can, right??

water-fairy · August 2009

My wishful thinking for tonight: keeping the contractionmaster.com site open... as if I might actually need it... lame.

katJude · August 2009

I'm an eldest elder

I've started being downright hostile to people who ask me "where's the baby?" It's in my effin belly and apparently it's not coming out.

Im sorry! Well think negative! Tell yourself you will have no progress, then if you do... It will be so much better!!

When's your next appointment?

katJude · August 2009

I have an appointment today. We'll see what the midwife says. I'm not sure I want to be checked or not.

water-fairy · August 2009

How long will they let you wait?

I am afraid to be disappointed again when my OB checks me... I'm so nervous right now but I have a whole night ahead of me.

katJude · August 2009

They'll let me wait until 42 weeks. My plan has been to deliver at the birth center though and if I go to 42 weeks I'll have to deliver at the hospital.

Don't be nervous - your baby will come soon regardless of what kind of "progress" they say you've made. You know how all of that doesn't really matter anyway. It will be fine!

IselaCid · August 2009

I'm still here! We just went for an evening walk at the zoo and I put DS down to sleep. I'll be joining him soon though!

And here I was wishing you were in labor...

IselaCid · August 2009

I am having some contractions from the walking that haven't calmed down yet. About 6 min apart or so with some pain and they feel different than everything else I've had lately. But I'm not getting my hopes up too much since I'm sure they will fade away after I rest up a bit more. Oh well...DH swears it will happen on Sunday...I can wait until Sunday. I'm just pissed I have to step on the damn scale at the MW again tomorrow!

Stay strong lady, it will happen!!!

water-fairy · August 2009

I've been so nervous today that I think I'm down a pound or two... but I still fear the scale.

I'm having a ton of BHs right now but they are not painful so I'm not even telling DH about them. They are irregular but most of them about every 5 minutes. I am sure I will be seeing my OB tomorrow at 11AM...

IselaCid · August 2009

...and now I think they're finally fading away. *sigh* Time for bed!

water-fairy · August 2009

Have a good night. I won't be offended if you go in labor.

ttmccoot · August 2009

i'm here.... waiting.... eating....

::sigh::

water-fairy · August 2009

I can't even eat... I'm nervous about tomorrow's appointment..

kkenner · August 2009

I wanna join the pity party..I'm not quite 39 weeks but watching all my friends have their babies is really starting to bum me out....

mamaiorory · August 2009

Misery loves company right? I haven't had a single contraction and as of my appointment yesterday--zero progress

Of course tonight my friend who is due the same day as me heading into L&D...and all I have is a horrible back ache that won't go away.

water-fairy · August 2009

Welcome to the club...

I am timing stupid BHs... they have been going on for more than an hour now, but irregular and not painful...

heatherlane · August 2009

I know you guys are 3 hours behind and (hopefully) sleeping now, but I am sending happy thoughts your way. It would be awesome if Klodjana and Isela had their babies on the same day!

OK...I'll suck it up and try to not be as miserable at work since I know I'm still 10 days behind you guys...

chyscottbaby · August 2009

I am still here too. I kind of wish this little one would do something today to get labor going. I am scheduled to be induced tomorrow morning, but would love for regular labor to start today. Heres me crossing my fingers and toes.

robynlesley · August 2009

/begin whine:

I want this baby OUT already. No progress (barely 1 cm) and with the exception of mild cramps, my due date came and went yesterday. My hands and feet are swollen and I'm not sleeping.

At least I have an end date in sight. My induction is set for next Thursday night at 8 pm (for Cervadil) and I SHOULD have this baby on Friday the 14th. But I want him to come on his own before then!!!

Waaaaaaah!

/end whine.

Ugh...this is why I am not doing internals. I do NOT want to know that I am making NO progress. ::HUGS:: I have nothing more to say but the babe cannot stay in there FOREVER. I hope LO comes soon!!!

musicteacher84 · August 2009

I'm here too...not quite 40 wks yet; but on Sunday I will be. I'm scheduled tentatively for an induction on Tuesday, however I would really like her to go on her own. I'm crossing my fingers she will come this weekend - but not trying to get my hopes up too much.

GL to the rest of you ladies!
