I'm tired of thinking "maybe today"

Ugh...I know the baby will come when he/she is ready, but come on! I'm dilated to 5, 85% effaced, and have lost my mp. This is my 3rd and so different than the other two. I was induced with my first, and my water broke with no other "signs" and I delivered in less than 2 hrs after getting to the hospital. I guess this is all part of the waiting game, and I'm not due until the 24th, but I just had to vent a little!

    Wow, that would be annoying to be SO close and constantly wondering if the baby is coming any minute! And to be progressed that far with my 3rd, I would always be wondering if I was going to be one of those ladies that has my baby on the kitchen floor because it happened so fast!

    You poor thing, no wonder you've had it. I'd be camped out at the hospital saying, "I'm not leaving without a baby!" Of course then I'd get arrested, so maybe not...

    I'm not as close as that (I don't think) but I too have to stop thinking "maybe today." It's only making me more stressed and pissed off when it doesn't happen.

    Instead I'm telling myself, "Every day he's still in there means another day for me to rest and prepare."

    It doesn't always work to keep me positive but it makes me a little more tolerable to be around, at least.

    Hang in there!!!

    I'm right there with you. The last month is so brutal, mentally.  I am at 3.5 and 80% so not quite as far as OP, but I am still so "done".  I know she's got to cook a little more, but being the second pregnancy and having daily contractions for the last two weeks is making me nuts.

    Hang in there, it will NOT be long for you OP!!

    Ugh, at least it'll be fast when you do go into labor? I have a fuzzy due date anyway, aaand I'm past 40 weeks, and I know exactly what you mean - every morning it's like, "damn, no labor last night. Argh!!"

    I feel the same exact way! This is my 3rd but I'm not dilated at all yet. I keep hoping my water breaks or I wake up with contractions. So annoying to wake up to nothing and have to come in to work another day. Sad
