My due date is Thursday. This kid is NEVER coming out lol. I was 2 cm dilated last Thursday but nothing has happened, no contrax, nothing. I go for my 40 week appt Thursday but honestly I am DONE DONE DONE. Im so anxious about water breaking or the like I feel like I cant leave my house lol. Besides the fact that I have one pair of pants left that fit!!!
(And I know, I have a 3.5 year old already, so I know once the baby is out, I will be wishing for the silence of pregnancy lol. I've been through it...)
Re: Are there any December mommies to be left? LOL
I'm still here...due on Friday. I haven't had a pelvic exam in weeks so I'm really unsure how dilated I am. I just decided to skip the exam for a few weeks since I wasn't seeing much of a point. At week 37, the baby was at a station -1 and about 1-2 cm dilated. This week, however, I'll have an exam done.
We swore she would be here on Christmas. On Christmas Eve, the contractions were getting MUCH more intense, cramping, loose bowels, etc. They were about 9-10 minutes apart for about an hour. Then...they just stopped. Now it's just Braxton Hicks. My mom comes to town on Saturday so I'm okay if LO decides to wait till January to make her debut.
I'm still waiting too. I thought for sure it was happening last night- I started having strong, mild to moderately painful contractions every 5 mins for a few hours. Each one was 1-2 mins long. I was sent in to L&D for monitoring and they went on from 9pm-3 am and then just stopped. I've been about 90% effaced and 1 cm for several weeks now with no progress on that front last night, which I was kind of bummed about.
They let me go home (said they could induce me since I was there but it was not recommended nor did I really want to have that happen) this AM. I was mainly kept there because the roads are still really bad from the bizzard we had and my doctor didn't want us to have to brave the roads just in case we ended up back in a few hours.
I am right there with you! I'm also so sick of sleeping on my sides, I'm a back sleeper and can't wait to lay on my back again!! Plus I feel like a jet-puffed marshmallow
My doctor is letting me go the full 42 weeks which puts me into the new year. I'm not dilated or anything. Head is down but that's it... please please please let something happen soon!
Ditto...
