Labor dust vent....never thought it would bother me.

I don't mind when women ask for it at 40 weeks plus...but at 37 weeks. I mean you are close and supposed to go another three. I have a dear friend who is 37 and when I called to update her on my situation all she said was how she wanted baby out. I got off the phone as fast as possible so I wouldn't cry.

My blood pressure had gone down but now my arm is pink and I feel flushed. I am also retaining most water I drink. I have peed once in the past 7 and a half hours.

I just want Connor to be ok.

    Try not to let it bother you so much...I understand why it upsets you because of your current situation, but remember everyone is in a different situation.  You just never know.  Chalk it up to hormones and just being so upset and worried about Connor right now.  Try not to focus on these things and just stay calm and focused on telling your baby that things will be ok and you love him.  I truely feel these things help and it will give you something to focus on.  Stay strong, you can do this!!

    I totally understand and I feel that way about a lot of things right now.  I try to understand that not everyone has to deal with what I deal with, and perhaps if I had an easy, uncomplicated pregnancy with no issues maybe I would feel that way too.  All I can think is, at least your baby is healthy, when mine will have serious challenges, and at least your body is functioning to the end, when I have to worry constantly mine will fail.

    I completely understand.  I know that those gals don't mean any harm, but I just want to scream.  My daughter (now 2) was born very unexpectedly at 34 weeks and spent 2 weeks in the NICU.  Walking out of that hospital without her was one of the most difficult times of my life.  I am currently 35 weeks, have been heavily monitored and have been on 17p injections since week 16.  My doctor decided to start internals today based on my history and I am already 3cm dilated and 80% effaced.  I know that, from a risk perspective, this child would likely do great even if born today.  However, I would give anything to get to 37 weeks and not be worried that I will again have to leave without my baby.
