3rd Trimester
Feeling discouraged
I know I still have a week until my EDD, but I would love to go into labor tonight. My doctor and I will discuss going through with the induction that was previously mentioned in the morning. However, he doesn't like to do them if he doesn't have to. I would be in no hurry to have this baby at all, except for the fact that in a few days, my entire family will be out of state for over a week. My Mom refuses to leave if the baby 1. isn't born or 2. is still BRAND new... so basically... if this LO doesnt come within the next day or so, everything will be ruined 
I have nobody to stay with me and help me out, and my family feels torn between my sons birth and my brothers Air Force graduation. I'm sure you can understand the stress I feel. I have tried a lot of 'natural' things, and nothing is working. I've been stuck at 3cm for over a week and im fully effaced. I've been having a lot of contractions, but not enough to go in.
Hope I dont get flamed for venting. I just needed to let this out somewhere.

Re: Feeling discouraged
Regardless of past postings and any bumpie issues....that still sucks...
Your mom is going to stay if you don't have LO yet it sounds like so at least she will be there with you which is important. I can understand the hard spot that the graduation puts your family in too. I'd say its pretty reasonable for some to go to that and someone (whoever is most important in the L&D room for you) stays with you. But my plan is for no family in L&D at all so I'd be fine myself with everyone but ____ not being right there...Hope all goes fine for you.
Page DianeN9...she had this exact same issue!
Thanks. I'll just never forgive myself if I'm the reason my Mom has to miss her son's military graduation, not to mention he goes directly to Mississippi for school afterwards and she won't see him for quite a while.
Well, she can goto that graduation possibly...I know its not as big of a deal but still, its something if it is really important to her to see both things. I'm sure she will be fine having missed a graduation in order to support her pg daughter (even if she is disappointed at first)...Regardless, I'm glad she is planning on staying with you.
Yeah, she knew ahead of time they were at the same time. And thankfully, my brother completely understands the situation.
Hang in there! You're almost done mama...
::Labor dust::
Sounds like your mom needs to get her priorities straight and regardless, you should not be stressing out. Relax and the baby will come.
It sounds like you're the only one that's upset by the situation...your mom has already said that she would stay, and you said that your brother understands. Yes, it sucks that your mom would miss your brother's graduation...but she is the one who decided not to go if you haven't given birth. Obviously, that's a decision that she can live with...
I also wanted to add (and I am addressing Amanda, not the imaginary OP) that in the first few weeks after you have the baby, you will NEED to have someone to help you get around the house, with the baby, go to appointemnts, etc.
You don't have an SO so your mom needs to stay home. Kid giving birth alone trumps kid graduating from Air Force.
I know, I just feel guilty. I feel like my Brother deserves to have everyone there for his accomplishment. Oh well, its in God's hands.
Can you clarify this? I am NOT flaming, but it seems contradictory.
Your mom insists on being around for the birth but yet you have no one? Maybe it's a typo or I am reading this wrong.
God f*cked up by allowing you to get pregnant.
Meaning if my Mom were to go to Texas, there is nobody else available to help out.
What about your husband?
But she's not, right?
I was clarifying that nobody else is available, because I thought somebody might suggest having someone else stay with me so she could go.
Oh. You are just being you.
Indeed. Whining is what she does best! No matter what AE it's under.
Noooooo! It has been soooo boring around here lately.
No response to how screwed up you are? You may think you are staying out of the drama, but it just shows that you have no real reason for posting lies.
His graduation is in Texas? Where do y'all live? B/c Texas isn't that far away. I live in MS and have fam in TX. By the way where is DH stationed?
If you were a true military wive you would know how to handle this, whoops my bad ! Your a big fat liar. Get over yourself, you have no one to blame but yourself. I am tired of you whinning and complaining about things when there is no need to complain. Shut your mouth, leave this site, and go away. You need to grow the hell up and stop playing highschool games. NO ONE CARES OR GIVES A RATS A$$!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
To be honest if I was your brother, mother, or a family member of yours I would smack some freaking common sense into your head. If I was to ever come acrossed you in person you better run cause you have royally pi$$ed me off.
GO AWAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He is not stationed anywhere, because he does not exhist. She is crazy
I don't belong anywhere in this conversation but t_igiveit2weeks you are very rude. Telling her that god fucked up by allowing her to get pregnant is downright cruel. just keep your opinions to yourself..its better that way.
t_giveit2weeks you are extremely rude and a cruel individual. I don't agree with this snowflakebaby2009 but I'm obviously able to keep my opinions to myself. To say god screwed up and tell someone that is sinking extremely slow. I hope to god this is your hormones making you cruel like this.
