bummed out

sammyjo1138 · December 2010

I went for my 37 week appt today. I was really hoping to have had made some progress since my last appt was sounding like I would go into labor soon. Sadly though I still have not dilated, though DS is still very very low and my cervix is getting soft.

I guess you can't have it all. Keep your fingers crossed that I will have made some progress next week.

If I remember correctly, mrssamuels didn't have any progression at her 37 week appointment and then BOOM! She had PJ! So, don't worry, it'll happen. Maybe not tomorrow, but soon!!! Good luck!

Try not to get frustrated, the exams really don't tell anyone much. You can easily go from an appt with no progress to early labor shortly afterwardt! I've heard a lot of those stories on other boards. But even if you're the more typical first timer and have him closer to your EDD, maybe there will be some progress next time! Hang in there, you're nearly there !

I know how you feel...I never had any progression at any of my appointments, all the way up to when they induced me at 40 weeks...with still no progression then. It is very frustrating. But like pp's said you just never know...you could have had zilch yesterday but something happen within a couple of days...or be a typical first timer and go closer to your EDD. Either way look at it this way, you know you will have that baby within the next few weeks so not much longer

Hang in there!

I know it's frustrating, but 37 weeks is still early. It might be better off anyways if you let that baby cook for another couple of weeks!

DD came naturally at 39 weeks, and while she was fine, I personally think she might not have had some of her weight issues after birth if she had stayed in another week.

Well the reason I was bummed is because my first due date, and the one I think is more akurate is 12/25 so that would make me further along.

Sadly though last night my Dad sur came to colon cancer. He suffered a fatal heart attack. My mom and I did cpr until the emt's got here but it was too late. I think I'm still in shock, which is probably why I'm online right now. It's so disappointing he really wanted to meet my son.

He was so looking forward to taking a bath with Jude, he did that with all of us kids and my nephews when we were newborns. But I'm sure in one way or another he will be there with my son always. He was only 52.

Now I just hope that baby will stay put so we can mourn.

Sammy, I am so sorry to hear this. I know it must be a very trying time for you and your family. I can't even begin to imagine how you feel. You'll be in my thoughts and prayers.

I am so sorry about the loss of your father. I hope you can have a little time to spend with your family during this tough period before Jude comes.

I'm so sorry for the loss of your father. This has to be a difficult time- esp so close to your DD. Hope you have a healthy next few weeks/L&D and my sympathies go out to you and your family.

I saw your original post - had not planned to respond but, when I came across this addition about your dad I wish to comment. I'm so very sorry to hear of his passing - would like to add my condolences for your family's loss. I pray he's at home with the lord. I do not know your status now at more than 37 weeks; but, for your sake do not - I repeat do not let this upset you for the sake of that little one you're carrying. I do hope, pray you reach full term with a healthy baby boy.

You always keep this - "But I'm sure in one way or another he will be there with my son always." close to your heart for its true - he'll be there!

Yes you do need time to mourn - just don't let that become a problem with that baby. OK!

I'm so, so sorry about your dad. I know that's got to be devastating.
