Still pregnant? Check in!

Kamiegrace1 · December 2011

Today is my due date. No one, and I mean no one, thought I would make it to this date. But here I am, still pregnant and miserable as ever. Tomorrow I have an appt and growth u/s, and supposedly a plan for eviction will be made. I am so ready to meet my precious baby and to not be pregnant anymore!

JNicMTek · December 2011

Yup, still pregnant. Sad

Induction set for Wednesday

sept9107bride · December 2011

I'm here. Due date is wednesday. I could see myself going past that. But I'm sooooo glad I made it through the holidays so I could travel and see my family. Oh well...off to make some returns before the crowds get crazy.

mrs JT09 · December 2011

I'm still here with my swolllen mess of hormones. Appt tomorrow and we will hopefully set a date to induce since my hubby leaves for work in January for 4 weeks. I really want this baby to come on its own.... *****please baby*****

JennaM919 · December 2011

Due tomorrow. Still not horribly miserable (physically), but emotionally I'm finished with pregnancy. I've never cried so much in my life! Dr. appt tomorrow, and we'll probably schedule an induction for the end of this week.. the end is in sight!!

kanej · December 2011

4 days overdue and the midwives havent mentioned induction yet. I am calling this morning to make an appointment with them

NoodleM · December 2011

Today is my due date Smile I'm a mix of emotions lately. From wanting to go into labour last week, to wanting her to wait until after Christmas, to feeling anxious about whether she is okay in there, to feeling anxious about all these new feelings I'm about to experience when I go into labour. I'm a scared FTM.

I have another NST today and a doctors appointment on Wednesday. If I make it to Wednesday I'll ask them what their plans are with inductions. I know they don't like to until after 41 weeks and since I'll be half a week to that point I guess it is good to go over what my options are. I would prefer to go into labour naturally as long as I know she is okay, and I would prefer not to have a c section.

Ditto.

Still pregnant- due Friday!

MrsKatieK · December 2011

Due date is tomorrow. We spent Christmas Eve/Christmas night in triage. I had three hours of consistent, painless contractions apx. 4 min apart or less starting around 10:30 pm so we went to the hospital around 2am. They monitored me for an hour. And after that there was no change in my 2cm dilated cervix, so they sent us home around 4:30am Christmas morning. The nurse was great and did a good sweep of my membranes which caused a few hard contractions and lots of cramping. My next OB appt is Thursday. They've scheduled an NST, ultrasound and visit with the doctor. We'll talk induction with hopes of having a 2011 baby.

beka0404 · December 2011

Maren is showing no signs of wanting to leave her little nest. Had 2 NSTs last week - both were great. My doc knew how badly I wanted to go into labor on my own and cancelled plans for a 12/27 induction. She's not comfortable with going past 42 weeks and set a deadline of Friday for induction leaving us the option of coming in earlier, especially if I notice a change in fetal movement. DH and I are thinking we'll go in Weds night for Cervadil with a Thursday induction date.

Physically I feel good, aside from having some major cankle action (man, I wish it was flip flop season!) and from feeling like a turkey is stuffed in my abdomen. Emotionally, I'm up and down. I was both relieved and disappointed she didn't come last week. I feel like a failure for not going into labor on my own but am coming to terms with the fact that I might be one of those women who just DOESN'T go into labor naturally. I'm scared of needing a C/S. I'm beyond thrilled to meet my daughter.

Good luck to everyone still pregs!

Madringal · December 2011

Still pregnant. Due date is Friday and I feel fine. I was pretty swollen after a long da yesterday, but other then that I am fine. I really have no preference for when she comes at this point. But if I am still pregnant in two weeks I will probably cry.

TonyaCody06 · December 2011

Still here! Induction begins bright and early tomorrow!! I'm SO excited

I feel the exact same way!!!! Just wanting our little girl to come on her own!!!

littlev · December 2011

9 days overdue and counting. I thought I'd be having a 2011 baby for sure with a Dec 17th EDD but now I'm not confident that will be happening.

ashleyluvskyle · December 2011

I am due tomorrow and was also told I wouldn't make it to 37 weeks. I was on bedrest from 30wks on and on 17P shots from 15wks until 36 weeks. Yet here I am one day away from due date at 2 cm 50% effaced for the last 3 weeks. No end in sight, doc is old school so I am sure even with my Gestational Diabetes he will let me go to 42 weeks before we talk induction.

This is pretty much me. I'll be 42 weeks tomorrow, and my MW isn't comfortable letting me go beyond that, so I'm going in tonight for cervidil and pitocin in the morning. I'm so excited to meet my little guy, but I do feel like my body has failed to do it's job.

I have some massive cankles, too, and since it's 80 degrees here, I'm still rocking my flip flops.

kmhofstetter · December 2011

I'm 2 days overdue and no sign of labor! I've had no contractions or anything and last Thursday my cervix was still closed. My doctor will let me go 2 weeks over, but I really, really do not want to be induced! Come on baby!

me too i have an apt wed hoping to discuss induction options

Tussie Mussie · December 2011

Still pregnant, but less anxious about it now that we made it through the holidays. My mom arrives in less than a week, so part of me is very relieved that we won't be doing this newborn thing alone like if I had LO early.

Happily Overwhelmed · December 2011

Still pregnant also. I'm scheduled to go in bright and early to be induced. So NOT looking forward to it.

JessH85 · December 2011

Yep, still here and due on Saturday. The in-laws were here for the Holidays and will be staying until LOs arrival so he is welcome to come any time now!

allyall10 · December 2011

Still preggo here. Tried ALMOST everything, won't drink the tea or the castor oil. Thought I had an appointment today, went to the MD to find out they were closed. I guess it's tomorrow. So, we're definitely having the induction conversation.

Do you have the same problem I do with flip flops? Where once you take them off, it looks like you still have them on because your feet are so swollen, the fluid has molded itself around the flip flops? Because if so, I'm glad I'm not alone. If not, then you just got a great visual of my "classy" feet. There are a thing of disgust for me.

Count me in this club... I'm just sad and disappointed to feel like a bit of a failure and also sad I don't have more time to let things go on their own, but I just don't want to continue gambling. I truly believe if we waited long enough it would happen, but I'm not just comfortable with the risk.

We will be trying a foley bulb induction, so I feel better than we will be going the most gentle, un-medicated route first to ease into it.

Ugh... lazy baby (and body)!

dartkel01 · December 2011

Due last Thursday. Appt with a MW b/c my OB is on vacation on Wed...probably being induced on Friday. Been feeling crampy since last night with it getting pretty uncomfortable at times. Hopefully tonight is the night!!

DiademChi · December 2011

Still pregnant, but I'm only at 39 weeks. I'm feeling good and sleeping well so no rush on my part. DH is the one getting impatient, as well as the visiting in-laws. I'm just relaxing while I still can :-D

shawna0116 · December 2011

Due date on Thurs, but being induced tomorrow. I'm being the impatient one! I also have been having loads of swelling and bp issues, as well as being GD. I am so loving the fact that I can still wear the flip flops too

indomesticbliss · December 2011

Yep, and heading into week 3 of contractions and 3-4 hours of sleep every night. I'm totally prepared to go into 2012 pregnant, but the regular and painful contractions plus arthritis and carpal tunnel are kicking my butt sometimes.
