Check-in: Those still pregnant

in November 2011 Moms

How are the other pregnant mommas doing today?  Hanging in there? What have you been doing to occupy yourself and share your positive thoughts :)

 My mom has been in town (thank God for the company) so we have been running errands, shopping, going on walks, baking/cooking, and wrapping gifts.  She is here for another week so hopefully we can come up with enough to keep us busy!

    We share(d) a due date that has long ago come and gone I see! 

    I am trying hard not to get depressed about still being pregnant.  My parents have been in town for Thanksgiving and my mom will stay until baby comes this week.  We'll probably go mall-walking and I need to clean the house and decorate for Christmas. 

    I think I may contact a recommended massage therapist/accupressurist this weekend to try to see if that would help get things moving.

    Holy crap...you're 41+ weeks!  Now I feel bad because I'm due tomorrow and have been complaining because I'm getting impatient.  I can't imagine how you feel!  Has your doctor talked about inducing or anything?  I'm scheduled to be induced Wednesday night if I haven't had her on my own by then.  Good luck!

    Lol-somehow this makes me feel better.  Like I'm not the only one thinking "holy crap!" I see a midwife, and she said she won't induce me until 42.5 weeks.  Seriously.  That is far and NOT in November :p  Best wishes to you too-hope baby comes on their own!

     Aw-hang in there.  A real life friend I have had our due date and gave birth yesterday..no real signs of it coming and then bam.  I called some reflexology places today but wasn't sure if it was worth paying what they charge...let us know if you go and if it works!

    today was my official "im done" day.  I am on day 5 of off and on contractions, and day two of constant cramping,  ( had my membranes swept friday morning).  I am VERY ready for my little man to come...

    I am due tomorrow, I have Been having contractions off and on but nothing that lasts. I hope and pray I am not like you ladies 1 or 2 weeks past due. I was 2 almost 3 cm dialated at my last appt. Hopefully I will go into labor on my own soon, but I sadly may move over to December

    Doc considers my due date 11/19, so my ticker is a little off and I'm closer to you in terms of how overdue I am. I'm really struggling to stay positive actually, mainly because I'm bored out of my mind. I've been off work for 2 weeks, haven't progressed any at all and have been scheduled for induction on Wednesday. I'm just hoping that something happens here in the next couple days.

    the hardest part is,  my baby has been completely engaged in the pelvis since 36 weeks, and i have a very physical job so they had me finish work early.   So i have been done for 5 weeks,  on friday i was only 1-2 cm and 50-60%effaced.

    I'm still not due until Wednesday, and at my last appointment was not dilated, but baby is dropped, head down and about 60% effaced.  Lots of BH and some cramping, but I'm pretty sure Wednesday will come and go with no baby yet.  My dr. induces at 41 weeks if she isn't here yet on her own, so it might not be until mid next week.  Either way, the end is near. 

    The only thing I am feeling really bad about is that I am sooo tired.  I want to "nest" (Not really a whole lot left to do, but I could do some cleaning),  or walk around, or do active things, but I just cant because I am so exhausted (mostly because I can't really get comfortable enough to sleep more than 4 or so hours per night.)

    Still preggo! Was due Friday. Wasn't getting too impatient until the last couple nights when it feels like lo is literally sticking his hands out of my cervix, it HURTS. Terrified of labor, but still hoping to wake up with contractions anyway. Time to get this baby out! GL ladies!

    I have had accupuncture twice and I have tried many of the old wives tales.... nothing! I know baby will come when she is ready, but I was hoping to give her a little positive energy and reinforcement to come on out. I hope I am still a Nov. mama. December is on Thursday, yikes!

    I broke down last night because a friend of mine had her baby last night and she was due Dec. 4th.  I was due on Wednesday and I am so over being pregnant.  I have a doctor's appointment on Monday and if I find out I've still made zero progress I'll probably break down again.

    Still here! I'm due tomorrow, so not really all that surprising. Last Tuesday I was 1cm and thinning, but thats about it. NST on Tuesday and we'll start discussing induction next Friday. 

    I will probably be a December mommy.

    I am due on Wednesday.  Still hanging in there, but getting ansty, restless and irritable.  All my family, friends, and co-workers kept telling me that they thought I'd go early this time and for some reason I started to believe it, so now I'm getting disappointed.  My doc prefers to induce around 41 weeks rather than waiting to 42, but I do want to wait a solid 41 weeks.  I was induced with DD at 40w5d and although all went well, I'd prefer to avoid pitocin again if I can.  But I'm not sure I'm willing to argue my way all the way to 42 weeks!

    I am still around. I was due 11/19 so I feel youre pain. H and I DTD last night as a last ditch effort and Ive been totally crampy and uncomfortable since 2am. I think I am having real contractions since then, they are hard to time and since I dont wear a watch trying to time them is getting tricky. They seem to be coming every 7-10 mins and feel like I am going to have a BM and then just a hard belly and lots of low pain.

    Im officially miserable as of 8am today

    I'm still here, was due Nov 21.  This weekend my fiance and I are watching the Lord of the Rings trilogy to pass time.  We made it a little game - can we make it through all three before she comes?  She's won the first two rounds, final round will start soon.  No signs yet.

    I've tried massage, labour cookies, sex, curry, walking, bouncing, squatting...had my membranes stripped 3 times....nothing.  I've baked, cleaned, shopped, nested up a storm.

    I'm trying to keep things in perspective - in the grand scheme of my life what's another week?  And once she's here, she's here to stay!  So despite my moments of just wanting to cry, I'm trying to enjoy these last lazy days of sleeping in and snuggling on the couch.   It's hard though!

    Family came down for Turkey day (and to visit with baby)...well, baby is still inside baby, so I at least got to have a good Thanksgiving feast and visit with family - although no baby. 

    Was due the 20th - will be induced tomorrow.  I have been doing just fine, but I have started feeling like "I'm done" today - so the nervousness I was having about the induction tomorrow is subsiding.

    I did a LOT of room decorating (buying and returning stuff!).  We kind of waited until the last minute, but I'm glad I have had time to finish it now!

    Still here as well. Will be induced on Friday if baby doesn't come before then. Had my bloody show this morning though, so I'm hoping for some action tonight!!!
