Today is my edd and I just got a call this am from a friend who is due next week saying she is in labor. I'm thrilled for them but can't help being slightly let down that it is my edd and I'm still waiting around. Is it wrong of me to feel this?

    Hey, I'm past my EDD and it helps me to think that every day my LO is growing inside me is another day for her to prepare and develop.

    My MW also reassured me that most of her mothers deliver within five days after their EDDs.

    Don't lose hope! Your babe will be here before you know it!

    I'd be upset too.. I've had 2 women who were passed my due date by 2+ weeks and they've both had their babies and I have the strongest feeling I'm going to go over my due date. Even my doctor believes I will and he won't induce until I'm at least 2 weeks over, so instead of my 10 day wait I should have to meet LO I have up to a 34 day wait..

    Nope, nothing wrong with you.  I'm due at the end of the month and for the past six weeks or so, I've been mentally cussing out all the women I know who have given birth.  That they were due before me or after me is totally irrelevant. 

    You're just anxious.  Totally normal.

    I agree it's totally normal. I'd be feeling the same way.

    Thanks ladies! I did cry a bit. I'm a little ashamed to admit that. My dr never thought I would make it to my due date and my friend hadn't made any progress, so I hadn't even thought about this happening. Her dad, who I know fairly well just sent me a fb message to tell me she beat me. How irritating!

    Same thing happened to me!  On my EDD a friend went into labor!  She was in labor for three days though...finally had her baby yesterday.  And WHERE IS MY BABY?  Still inside...sigh.

    I'm right there with you!!  Today is my due date & I am having a hard time as well.  Another girl I know is being induced at 39 weeks & could easily have her baby before me, even though she is due after me.  It makes me so impatient!

    I would be upset too! I'm due on Monday but there are no signs that this little guy will be coming out any time soon. I have been 1cm dilated for 3 weeks now and had my membranes stripped twice with no results. I have zero signs of labor... I'm so frustrated with my body and SO very uncomfortable!

    It's not wrong to want your LO when you thought you were going to have him...I see girls on this board everyday having their LO's before me when I was originally due before them. I just have to keep in mind that my body knows what it is doing, and if there is a chance it doesn't, 42wks is the max...it's just 2 wks, what is that in a lifetime, really? To pass the time you should go shopping, it's so much fun watching the expressions on peoples faces when you tell them you were due yesterday, last week, whenever! GL.

    It will be ok!  My first DD was 5 days late and my 2nd was 4 days late.  Don't worry your day will come soon and you will be holding your beautiful child soon :)
