bc its killing me!! with DD she came at 37 weeks so there was no waiting....
DH and I are just dying to meet DD#2 and the wait is consuming me,
I feel almost in a panic to get her out, like something will go wrong and I just need her out safe now

Re: come in if the waiting is killing you!
Ditto- just went for my 41 week appt
still only 1 cm and 30% effaced....I have to go back on Friday for my stress test and to set and induction date...I SO thought I was going to be sent to L&D today 
MEEEE!
I don't know why either... I mean we have been through this whole year being patient... and now when there is a week or so left... I can't seem to handle another day! A day feels like a month now.... come on baby girl, we want to meet/kiss/hug you!
"What did my fingers do before they held you? What did my heart do with it's love?"
ah that would be horrible! I put everything in the car when going to my appt last week...stupid me...I have another one tomorrow...and I'll do it again ;p
Agreed, I almost don't want to talk to anyone anymore until its time!
I officially served LO with an eviction notice yesterday. I hope she knows how to read!
Amen! I don't know if any of you are still working but it is hard to concetrate when every 5 minutes someone is shocked to still see you here or giving you their EDD of LO. I'm going nuts!
I hear ya. I even told my mom that she's driving me insane with her calling, and she definitely heard me and knows she's making me nuts. "It's me again!" and "I know I'm bugging you..."
Then STOP.
I promise, it's not like I'm not going to call you when it happens. "Oh, sorry, I had her a week ago and forgot to let you know..."
I ignored her call for the first time about 45 minutes ago. I'm going to Hell.
meeeeeeeee! i am getting the constant phone calls of "are you having the baby yet?" clearly not... or you would know about it. and everytime i go in public i hear a "wow, when are you going to pop?" any day now, thanks.
days were moving so quickly when i was working, and since i have been home this last week i dont even know what to do with myself. boooooored. hurry up baby!
:: raising hand and jumping up and down!:: At some point I need to get it together and be realistic! Last Tuesday I was 3 cm-- 50% effaced and I had lost my plug. The Dr. said I wouldn't make it to my due date (9/27) and we will see what happens this week. Wednesday I had a NST and was contracting every 15 minutes, but I could not feel them... I thought for sure Sunday, at the latest, would be D day... NOPE!! I still can barely feel contractions, mostly lower cramping and pelvic/pubic pain. I have an appointment today at 3:45 MST.... watch I will still be 3 cm.
I need to get a grip! Like pp said, she packed her car last week before her Dr. appointment. That is what I want to do... But is it realistic? All of this anxiety absorbs my focus that should be directed to growing this baby love. I feel like a horrible mommy.
I stopped answering the phone and e-mailed them all that if I don't answer I'm not in labor, I'm just sleeping or busy AND that when I am in labor, I will let them know so they can stop calling to check!
I am very anxious to meet my little boy but last week I was at least having contractions but this week there has been nothing. I don't feel like I'm close at all.
Every time my phone rings I answer it by saying "Yes, I am still pregnant." Half of my phone calls consist of that, followed by "Ok, well call me when you are not! Bye!" or some variation on that theme.

I so glad I'm not alone!! I am running out of things to do to pass the time!!
and I am really getting over how much I have to eat...I am usually busy with DD and then all of a sudden I am faint and dizzy...and I go..oh yea..I need to eat like...every hour!!!
I have my 38 week appt tomorrow and am hoping my OB is open to striping my membrane...it put me in labor with DD
LOL!!
My due date is tomorrow... so I can't REALLY complain yet until after that
BUT I'm going to anyway, because my body just wont stop tricking me! All these little twinges and cramps or whatever little "signs" that labor might be on the horizon..and then it always fizzles out and nothing. Pointless.
Either do something body, or just leave me alone until it's time for the real thing!
Today for example....been having twinges alll morning long and even a couple of stronger feeling cramps in my back, but...nothing consistent or timeable and nothing I'd call a "You will KNOW that it's real" cramp.... it's like...really?? I have work to do and don't need to sit here uncomfortable for no real reason ..blah.
OK vent over for the day
I just told my mom that her calls are making my anxiety go through the roof...every damn time I pick up the phone "Any change?!?!?!" NOOOOOO. If there was a change I would let you know. Holy hell, people, this is MY child and I don't need people lining up to snatch him from me after birth.
Also- TB is not helping with it's countdown. Everytime I log on and see "6days left...5 days left, etc." I get a little panicky.
THIS. There is constantly a hip or butt pressed up against my lower right ribs. I really wish she would stop that.
Any phone call I make to family now has to start "Hey, it's Cheryl, I'm not in labor" before any actual conversation can happen. Aggravating
Between the waiting, the worrying, and the constant weepiness I just don't know how I'm going to hang in there until my due date!! I'd been having contractions (irregular) and crampiness for a week and still only at 1cm today. Dr scraped membranes to get things going...I feel like such an idiot b/c I really thought things were moving. Definitely had my bags packed and in the car for appt today. Feeling so discouraged...
Is this your first? Average gestation for FTMs is 41 weeks and a day. By getting your membranes sweeped, you've probably just sentenced yourself to 3 more weeks of nasty cramping. For your sake, please try to find something to do to take your mind off the wait! You are going to make yourself miserable.
I'm tired of people saying "ZOMG YOU'RE STILL WORKING?!!!!??" I know. I know. This dangerous job of sitting at my desk 8 hours a day helping clients with their taxes . . . I would be much better off at home driving myself crazy. Yeah right.
