Anxious-EDD is Thursday but LO isn't ready.

Hello October Mamas: (sorry this is kind of long)

I am hitting my EDD this Thursday on 10/13. I know our EDD is just a guess so I'm not worried about the date coming and going but as each day goes by I am gettng anxious. I went to the Dr yesterday and it looks like my LO is comfy and wants to bake a little longer. I have NO symptoms of labor happening anytime soon...I am only dilated 1 1/2 cm. My BP was a little high so they gave me a loaner BP monitor to check myself every morning until this Thurs. A nurse will call me each day to ask for my numbers. Due to the high BP my Dr put me on the schedule to be induced this Friday. She said if my BP numbers are normal she will cancel my induction and reschedule it for week 41 if i want. I'm just sitting around waiting to see what happens. I don't want to be induced so I pray everything happens naturally.

I have been anxious for the past few days and that's pretty much why my BP was high. (I checked it this AM and it was normal) anyway I am anxious because my LO's movements don't seem to be as active as usual. I do feel her especially after eating but it's not like before. I know it's because she's running out of room in there. I had an NST yesterday and her heartbeat is normal and she did very well. So why am I anxious? I have no idea! I am very excited and can't wait to hold my little girl but another part of me is worried too. I guess I'm anxious/worried because I don't know what to expect since this is my first baby. Also, I am worried of something going wrong. (plus I have a friend who lost her baby 3 days before her EDD due to the cord wrapping around the baby's neck. I am so scared of this happening) I need to relax and have faith that all will go well.

Anyway the reason for my post is to ask you ladies if anyone else is feeling anxious and worried? What are you ladies feeling right now if you EDD is coming up or if it already passed? 

Wishing all of us to have healthy babies! Good Luck!  =)

    I'm due Thurs as well and I can totally identify with the anxiety. I think it's hard b/c we are SO CLOSE to the end, if something happened now it would be devastating. But situations like that are pretty rare and the vast, vast majority of pregnancies and deliveries go just fine so I keep telling myself that. And I know the worrying won't end once he's out so... I'm trying to be patient. It's hard!

    I understand how you're feeling. My EDD was yesterday and I am very anxious and ready for my LO to be here! I can't wait to hold her and see that she's healthy! I think it is totally normal to feel nervous and anxious especially at the very end of a pregnancy. Try and stay as relaxed as you can, think positively and your LO will be here before you know it!
