So, since we're officially in November now I was wondering how many of us are due in this first week. What's your story? Think LO will be coming soon or hanging out a little while longer? I am due tomorrow and needless to say, I don't see it happening by then. Thankfully, my pregnancy has been perfect thus far so as long as everything is still looking good at my OB appt tomorrow I will be allowed to go on and continue to try for my VBAC. Planning to ask for a cervical check and membrane stripping if I have enough progress. As of last week I was still not dilated so there wasn't much they could for me. Hoping for a better appt tomorrow. Good luck to the rest of you due this week. Sending lots of labor dust to you ladies!

Re: due this week?
Due Saturday (5th) - Don't really think she'll come before then, but who knows... The doc said on Thursday, "You'll probably still be pg next week. See you then!"
I have a LOT to do before then anyway!!!
Due Friday and I haven't had any signs that things are moving along, so, unless I'm one of those 'out-of-nowhere' ladies it looks like he's hanging in there awhile.
They want me to set an induction date at my appointment this week and I am totally not ready to resort to that!
I was originally due the 26th of October and then changed to Nov 2 ... I have been 1cm and no progress despite lots of hours of close contractions, walking, activity, etc.
Baby was measuring almost 9lbs at the 37 week sonogram, I am going for a NST and biophysical profile tomorrow and being induced on Thursday night if he doesn't decide to get things going on his own.
Anyone have experience with the NST? I don't know what to expect as a FTM. Also any tips on the induction at night from those with experience? I am anxious but also excited that he is almost here!

I am due Friday and being induced Friday. As of last Wednesday, I was 2 cm and 80% effaced, so that is why I was ok with setting up the induction (I had a successful induction with my son at 1cm and 75% effaced).
I have been feeling lots of pressure, pain and sporadic contractions, so I feel like I could go before then, but who knows.
Today is/was my due date with LO. However, I was induced at 38 weeks 2 days due to my worsening pregnancy related hypertension. So now my amazing LO is next to me right now, sleeping in her swing.
Labor was about 18 hours. Difficult at times, but SO worth it. Took a while to get my blood pressure and LO's heartbeat regulated so we were both in an okay range. I was able to avoid a c-section and things are great! Breastfeeding in going well.
Lots of positive labor vibes for you ladies on your upcoming deliveries!
