I have come to a conclusion...

that I cannot be in control of when this baby comes. She will come when she wants to come. I am trying to wrap my head around that...so this might be a post where I am trying to convince myself of that. I think it is so hard because we all want to meet our little ones and we want to know that we can do it the way we want too. Dont get me wrong...it is still as frustrating at all he*l. But we all need to hang in there....pregnancy always has an end!! 

 

and...end craziness...

    Amen. A few weeks ago my midwife and doula both said I'd never make it to my due date, and I told them they were just putting the nail in the coffin that I'd go to 42 weeks :) Here I sit, two days from my due date and no baby. But we'll see, there's still time! I'm just done worrying and hoping that it will come any second and succombing to the fact that I have NO idea when this little bean will decide to come. I'm going to enjoy these last few days (or weeks) as much as I possibly can. 

     

    Good luck!

    I am having this same problem. I can't read birth stories anymore because it makes me sad that I don't yet have one. So freaking petty, I know. She will be here when she is ready Stick out tongue

    Yes, I came to that conclusion too... Our LO's are just way to comfy inside! I just know that my LO will be extra healthy and chubby because she is cooking for so long..Smile

    I guess the grass is always greener... I wish that I was 40 weeks and waiting for the baby to come. I got diagnosed with pre-e yesterday and they want to induce me... probably tonight or tomorrow.

    I had my heart set on a natural birth and I really wanted to wait to go into labor on my own. I was born 13 days after my due date and this whole time I've been expecting that my baby would come late too... and this induction process just feels all wrong to me. As much as I've been saying to DH the past few weeks that I am starting to feel miserable and can't imagine waiting a few more weeks for the baby to come, I had settled in for the long haul!

    Ok, I've made a decision as well. I think peace is a choice in this matter and I've decided to fully embrace it. I've tried everything to help this baby out.

     


     

    ME: 4+cm dilated, 90% effaced, lost my mucous plug already!!!!

    I was due 3/15 with my Third child. I've been using the following methods to "get the party started".

    Membrane Sweeping a week ago

    Yoga ball (everyday)

    sex

    nipple stimulation

    castor oil

    meditation/visualization/prayer

     

    I give up...IN A GOOD WAY! My midwife also told me last week that it was a joke to make my 41 week appt. but we did it anyway. She honestly thought I'd be in labor LAST Wed. Well, here we are with an inside baby still.

    I've been telling myself these things now for the last week. Its hard but I'm ready to meet her and know that first babies tend to be late and I still have 1 week.

    Really good point EmandChris, and I also keep trying to tell myself that until I'm OVERdue, I have no right to complain... I must sound like a complete brat to someone that's sitting there at 40+ weeks. After that, I'm completely justified :)

    Wise words :-)  I'm also convinced that stressing over baby's arrival just makes it harder for your body to go into labor.  Relaxing and just letting things happen is definitely the way to go!

    Yes

    I agree, and it's hard to keep it in perspective! I know I'll be sad to not be pregnant anymore and not have this little person moving around inside and all the little things that go along with that.
