Early January mommies- whos left?

kensbride08 · January 2011

Im due Tuesday and just wondering who else is in the same boat? I know alot of us delivered in Dec, I thought for sure I would do based on my contractions but nope this lil guy is pretty stubborn!

How are you all feeling? Do you get contractions constantly that dont actually do anything? Super frustrating!

sometimesalwayschaotic · January 2011

I was due on Saturday and am still around. I'm having quite a few contractions but not a lot of progress. I am set to be induced tomorrow due to high blood pressure so hopefully I'll have a baby tomorrow or Tuesday! It is a very strange feeling!

bridetobein05 · January 2011

Due today- baby girl didn't get the memo. I am planning on asking for an induction tomorrow. I have GD and am diet controlled so I am hoping they will agree and I will have my baby in my arms soon!!

nurserin99 · January 2011

I am due on Tuesday as well...I really thought I would have had him by now since I was 2 weeks early with my first baby. We are scheduled to be induced on Jan 5th if he doesnt come before then. I have had plenty of contractions and even a few bouts of timeable contractions but they have always faded out! Very frustrating! This pregnancy has been fairly easy so I cant complain but I am ready to meet our lil boy!

kensbride08 · January 2011

Good luck with your inductions ladies! I hope everything goes smoothly!

Im still holding out on the induction talks at this point cuz Im really hoping Ill go into labor on my own. I was induced with my DD due to high BP and it went just fine. I just want to experience natural childbirth this time around so lets hope this lil boy gets moving!

J05Boiler · January 2011

My due date is this Thursday and so far I don't see her coming any time soon.

Bountifulbride · January 2011

I'm due on Friday (the 7th) and there's nothing indicating at this point that I'll go before then, sigh....

manderdoll · January 2011

I'm still hanging in there too, due on Tuesday. I really thought I would have this LO early mostly because I wanted it to be a 2011 baby, so I figured Murphy's Law would have me have this one on like the 31st, but to my surprise I'm still pregnant!

Now I just hope LO waits until after tomorrow morning as I am having a root canal and have been in the most excruciating pain I have ever felt in my life and really want it to be done before I go into labour!

Good luck to all you ladies!

Amy and Jay · January 2011

I'm due on the 8th and still here. Time felt like it was flying until now but the last week or so has been dragging. I'm ready to meet this little girl!

honkytonk_kid · January 2011

I'm due Tuesday (4th)! I'm having tons of contractions so I keep thinking it will be soon.

LO is still breech so I'm a little conflicted- I can't wait to have him in my arms but at the same time I really don't want a c-section- LOL I'm holding on to the ridiculous chance that *just maybe* he'll turn on his own at the last second and I can go back to the midwives Every time he makes a big movement I'm like "Go! Turn baby turn!!"

vanessaNOV2 · January 2011

Im due on 11th but going in for csection tuesday!!!At my last appt I was 2cm, 50%, -2...but I have ouchy contractions at night time. they suck, I cant sleep. finally packed hospital bag today, and feel like I should clean entire house before I leave...

love.love · January 2011

due tuesday here too!
I've been having random bouts of painful contractions the past few days as well, but they fade out. It's definitely frustrating!

I was induced 10 days late with my first, so I'm not really expecting I'll go anytime soon this time around either.

I'd also like to hold out on induction talk until 41.5/42 weeks or so to try to experience what it's like to go into labor on my own, but if she's stubborn, we'll see!

knm07 · January 2011

Mostly a lurker, but due January 13th. Will be induced on the 11th, if LO hasn't come before then. I don't see LO making an appearance on it's own though :-/

mamaprof · January 2011

I was due on the 1st. I've been having painful contractions since 35 weeks. I'm doing okay; the normal late pregnancy aches and pains, heartburn, hungry all the time. This is my third, but both previous pregnancies were "late" at 42 weeks for my first and 40 weeks, 6 days for my second. This baby will come when he/she wants to and I'm content waiting unless complications arise because I won't risk an induction and the potential problems that come with it.

sweetmej · January 2011

Still here! My due date was yesterday, and no sign of real labor. I've been having BH contractions for several weeks, but they don't seem to progress into anything. Only change is that I've been sleeping like crap at night and then I'm tired during the day. There is no plan for induction. My MW will let me go to 42 weeks, but thinks it's unlikely that I'll make it that long. My mom's in town and is dying for me to try a castor oil/vodka/orange juice cocktail to see if we can kick-start labor. Apparently she almost used this for me when I was 13 days late.

Fergie+1 · January 2011

I'm due the 16th, but both DH and I think this week LO will choose to come out. -I hope so, at least. I'll be really disappointed if at my next appointment on Wednesday there's no progress. :

ETA: I have contractions every day; they get ouchy and closer together towards bedtime, then I wake up the next morning fine.

jaxxx15 · January 2011

Due today and still here. I am VERY ready to deliver. Everything is just super uncomfortable and such a big to-do. I had some contractions last night but nothing regular. Hope we all deliver healthy babies soon!

Mrs.LD813 · January 2011

Overdue here! I have an induction scheduled for Fri. if she doesn't decide to come on her own. Have had cramping, backpain and tightening since Thurs. night, but nothing productive or pattern-like. So frustrating!

sklein625 · January 2011

J05Boiler:
My due date is this Thursday and so far I don't see her coming any time soon.

This exactly. Went for an internal this morning and there was barely a change. Still only 1-2 cm, 50% effaced and -2 station. I haven't had a single contraction (real or BH) and he's still sitting super high. This is all fine with me though as he can stay in there as long as he wants!

discovolante · January 2011

I'm due Saturday, and no signs of progress yet. I have an appt in an hour so I have my fingers crossed that something, anything is going on down here.

Jenny33 · January 2011

40 weeks and 2 days here. Induction will be scheduled for a week from today. I have an appointment on Wed and am so excited to hear if anything is happening.

Not to be picky, but the only day that is off limits for baby is tomorrow, as it is DH's birthday. Plus... my OB is in Hawaii until the 8th( how dare she!) , so it would be nice if she were back. I'm taking it easy today so as not to kick-start anything.

Kristine11 · January 2011

I was due Nee Years Day and so far nothing ... I'm hoping at my dr appt today we talk about inducing. I want to meet LO and I don't want him to over cook!

KatInTheHat28 · January 2011

Still here and due yesterday! As of last Friday I was still 0 cm dilated. This kid is never going to come out! I've got an appointment on Wednesday and we'll schedule an induction then (for next week sometime). I'd really like to avoid an induction but I'm sure I'll be begging for one by next week!

I've been trying everything to get the baby out. Walking on the treadmill, squats, spicy food, sex and I even ate an entire pineapple two day ago! I guess the old wives tales don't work!

starsmaycollide · January 2011

I'm due the 14th, and started having regular but weak contractions Friday morning that haven't stopped since. They've spaced out somewhat but the ones I do have are a little stronger. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a tad impatient....it's just weird because they started out pretty close together/regular and I never had a BH contraction before then. And, I would expect them to stop and start but they haven't taken a real break yet. So once it started, I figured active labor was on the way soon ish...but here I am on day 4. lol.

hjk5000 · January 2011

Me. Today is my due date.

jaysears · January 2011

My due date is Sat the 8th,. but they have schedule me to have C section on tues the 4th.

beenbizzy · January 2011

Due today... nothing to report. I was induced at 42w with DS, so I'm not holding out too much hope to go on my own anytime soon. Induction planned for Thursday at 40w3d.

Skittles2113 · January 2011

I am due today - Jan. 3 and am pretty sure he won't be coming today. I have been having contractions on and off for weeks now, but am only 1.5 centimeters dilated and no clue how effaced I am as they haven't offered that stat...so maybe not at all.

I am scheduled for an induction on Jan. 13, but really hope he comes before then as I do not want to have an induction.

And although I've heard it means NOTHING - I lost my mucus plug last night so maybe labor will be coming soon! I HOPE!

Good luck ladies- hope we all have healthy babies soon!

HUrquiza · January 2011

I'm due Sunday the 9th... still here. REALLY wishing I wasn't. I've been having contractions since Saturday - the closest of which were down to 7 min apart.

I have an appointment the 5th, so we'll see what happens!

garnet1981 · January 2011

Due the 14th, and it looks like we are going to go at least that far. I haven't talked to my doc about if we go over that if we will induce or anything. There's pretty much no dilation or anything. Blah..

2bjohns · January 2011

I am due on Saturday the 8th and have been having contractions on and off but nothing that hurts. I am getting frustrated I thought for sure that he would come early but he is holding on. I guess I will have a little chunky monkey.

williaw · January 2011

Due on Thursday and still waiting. Only 2 cm dilated and zero contractions.

mjlewis101 · January 2011

Here till the end of the month...*sigh* Maybe she'll come just a little bit early! Here's hoping! ;o)

jeng319 · January 2011

Due date is tomorrow. I had a Dr. appointment this morning and there has been no change since last week. I started crying before I even sat back up. I'm so done!!!

I hear ya - that was me at my appointment last week...I actually reversed...went from 1.5 centimeters to a fingertip dilated...I started crying immediately - damn hormones!

Today is my due date...no luck....some contractions, but I'm guessing he won't be coming out today....

MaggieEterno · January 2011

I am also mostly a lurker, but I am due on the 16th....at my 36 weeks appointment I was 3cm and at my 38 weeks appointment yesterday I found out I am 4cm, fully thinned, and my water bag is bulging (sp?). I was induced with my other two and would like to experience natural childbirth, but I don't think it's going to happen....I'll be induced on Monday. I am sooo ready!!!

futuremegp · January 2011

I'm due on Friday (1//7) and this little guy seems pretty set on staying put. Have my 40 weeks appt on Friday too but not getting my hopes up that they'll give me great news since there's been no sign that he's ready to come out!
