Urrrrggggghhhhhh... Ive been ready to have this baby for a long time and now ive reached my due dat and im still 1 1/2 centerimeters dialated. DH is laughing liek its funny, i seem more sensitive the closer i get. Im scheduled for an induction next saturday, but i really dont want one. I have a week to get him out of me, but i feel as though my body isnt ready for this type of work. I consistently feel him pushing on my pelvic and hard pushes, but my cervix is not having it. I want to meet him and i know he wants to put a face with a voice. Im lost idk what to do anymore, it seem lik everyone around me has had their baby and im the odd one out, DH does his best to make me feel better, but let me be honest im just so tired of being a storage unit. lol.. I love my LO im just done carrying the load. Im just looking for some emotional support Crying

    I'm due tomorrow and I feel the exact same way! My DH thought he would be funny and tell me his prediction for arrival would be my my induction date... the 19th! I almost cried thinking about going another whole week waiting!

     At least we have a definite count down date. Yours is Saturday and mine is Monday. :D No matter what we will have outside babies soon!

    I know how you feel. My due date is in 3 days and I'm getting sooo anxious. I've been anxious for almost 2 weeks now, haha. This is my first baby, and as bad as it may sound, I just want labor to start already so I know what to expect! I've been drinking a ton of Raspberry Leaf tea and taking Evening Primrose Oil pills hoping they will help.

    I belong to some local mommy groups and I'm one of the only ones left, it seems like everyone's baby has come early. I was really accurate as to what day we conceived though, and I know that lots of "early" babies just had their due dates miscalculated, so that makes me feel a little better. 

    My MW is going to sweep my membranes the day after my due date, and I'm really nervous about it.

    Hang in there, I'm sure you're little one will arrive SOON:) There are lots of us tired, swollen, emotional mommies right along side you!

    I feel you. My due date is tomorrow and there isn't a hint that I will go soon.  To make matters worse, my first 2 were early.  DS#1 was 10 days early and DS#2 was 2 days early.  I am SO done and sick of the texts and phone calls asking if there is a baby yet.  I am trying to be understanding that everyone is just excited, but it only frustrates me more to get those type of questions.

    I am overdue and only 1cm dilated.  I go tomorrow to see if my cervix has even softened. I have an induction scheduled for Wednesday.  My bff, who was due after me with her first, gave birth on Friday (her actual due date).  I know the frustration. DS1 was also late.

    If you don't want to be induced next Saturday, then don't be.  You're the one in control here.

    My due date is today and I'm getting anxious too.  I am ready to have this baby, but I am also willing the let the baby decide when she will be born.  Everyone and every birth is different and some babies take longer than others.  There is really no reason to get induced if there is no medical reason to do so.  The "normal" range of giving birth is anywhere between 37 and 42 weeks.  But I've also heard of some women going even longer than that.  Good luck to you!  Hopefully baby comes soon : )

    Thats the thing i dont want to get induced but its like if i wait for the forty second week he wont be able to *** out through the birth canal and i will have to have a c section and i really dont want that. My doctor thinks its best to have the in duction at forty one weeks but i want him to come out on his own, but i dno want a c section. Im so lost right now
