6 Days Overdue and starting to stress (sorta long)

Ok so this morning I woke up and realized that I am now 6 days overdue and am starting to stress out a little. yesterday I was walking around a tile store and got some horrible contractions and intestional pain. I got so excited thinking "oh this might be it" and then nothing else afterwards. I went about my day hanging out with my parents and DS, ate dinner then came home and drank some Rasberry Leaf Tea (ya know to maybe kick start those contracitons again) and nothing. I woke up in the middle of the night concerned about the baby being too large and having meuconium in the fluid...Obviously there is nothing I can do about that but it does concern me since I will not be having the antibiotic ointment placed is LO's eyes at birth nor will I be giving the Hep B shot just yet. Then it popped in my crazy head that yesterday while I was walking around I felt this bulge feeling down "there". I think i am creating crazy things in my head. What in the world can I do to calm my fears. Heck I am not a first time mom and feel like I am gonna drive myself and my DH nuts!

    Take a deep breath... I think being over due could drive anyone a little crazy even if it is not your first time.

    Hang in there.

     

    Labor dust!! Come on baby!

    Hang in there.  Try visualizing a more positive situation -- picture the baby in a good birthing position and an easy delivery, instead of worrying about a too large baby or meconium. 

    How late will your doctor let you go before inducing?

    Slow down and breathe, everything will be ok. I went 10 days past my EDD with my first pregnancy and my OB induced me. You will be fine. Just enjoy this time, and sleep as much as possible because once the baby is born you won't be sleeping much.

    Sending you labor dust - I hope your little one makes their appearance today sometime. 

    On another note not related - I live in Orangevale too.  Small world.

    Hang in there Mama!!  I was a week over due - and our babe did breath in the meuconium - but the docs were well prepared for that - and took great care of him.  He was perfectly fine!!  Here's hoping that you'll go into labor tonight!!!!

    I was two weeks overdue. I was monitored, have you had any of that? Are you set for an induction if it doesn't happen by 42 weeks? I'm sorry, I know it is very hard to wait and worry. My baby also was passing some mec already but she was okay. I think that was more due to the stress of the induction though.
