Anyone else feel like LO won't ever come

jf198400 · February 2012

I'm due either today or Monday depending on whether you go by LMP or ultrasound date. So far I have made zero progress, and haven't had any labor signs other than occasional BH's. With DD1 I was exactly the same and had to be induced 10days past EDD. I don't mind LO being late, but I would like to experience going into labor naturally. I'm afraid I'll have to be induced again (which is fine really) but I'd love to know what its like to have that "It's Time" feeling. Anyone else afraid LO just won't come?

I kinda feel like LO is never going to come, but I think that might mostly be denial... I'm having a hard time accepting that our lives are going to be turned upside down very shortly.

Yes! I am due tomorrow, but I feel like she is never going to come unless she is forced out. My doctor made the mistake of telling me at my 36 week appointment that she thought this little one would be a couple weeks early. So, I've been sitting on pins and needles over the last couple of weeks waiting for her to arrive. Now that I am right at my due date and I haven't lost my mp or anything, I feel like she is too comfortable in there and that I will have to be induced. I really wish my doctor had never told me that she could be early. I feel like that has made me more impatient than I would otherwise be.

Oh yes. I feel like everyone around me had their baby early. And while I know first time babies (heck even second time babies) come later I kinda hoped I'd be on that early wagon. But of course that hasn't been the case.

My due date is 2/22 and thank the Lord for my GD because they are going to induce me on my due date. Still I wish I could just go naturally and have contractions and all that fun labor stuff.

But it is what it is. Ultimately I keep my eye on the prize a beautiful healthy baby. But I'm allowing myself to shed a few tears and feel sorry for myself now and then.

People keep telling me to walk. I walk 2-3 miles a day. I want to punch them in the throat.

This is exactly how i feel. I don't think it's possible to walk anymore.

Not really. They always come- even without an induction. No one is pregnant forever.

This doesn't mean that I am not uncomfortable and hoping that LO will be ready sooner than later, but I do know she will come...even if it is a couple more weeks like her sister (who was born at 43 weeks).

yes! I have resigned to the fact I'll get induced at 12 days overdue (the longest my doc likes to leave it, he said). But he's going to reassess next week.

Yes - except I know he will - but it's very hard to wrap my mind around the fact that one day I'll wake up and it'll be the day I'm going to have my baby. Even though I did it last time (and I went into labor on my own, even a few days early), it seems like it won't ever happen and I'll be the first person in the history of the world to be pregnant forever.

Wow God Bless You! 43 weeks! My doctor won't let me go more than 42 weeks, and I don't think I could stand it anyways.

It was pretty difficult that last week. I had the support of my MWs and my DH, but had to avoid pretty much every else. She was totally worth the wait, but I am also hoping this one does not follow suit. ;b

DH and the OB both had an intuition that we wouldn't even hit our EDD. So being a week late..... yeah. I'm starting to feel like the baby won't ever come. :-/

I'm trying to hold on to the fact that I've felt, since the beginning, that the LO would be a week and change late. :-/ It's hard, esp with the OB's office trying to force me into an induction.

My DD is 2/27 and while I do have a few days, I feel like she's never going to be here! I just feel like I haven't made any progress - no mucus plug or bloody show, no contractions, I haven't even had any droplets of milk! It doesn't help that when I tell people I'm nine months pregnant they look at my belly and say "Are you SURE?!" Ugh! At my last appt I was 1 cm though so I guess that is something!

ghdst1 · February 2012

me! I had a c/s with DS and so I can't be induced. If I don't go into labor naturally by monday then I am getting a RCS on Tuesday. I really don't want another c/s and want to try for a VBAC. I have been refusing internals but got one today to see where I was. I was NO WHERE. No dilation, no effacement, and baby hasn't dropped. Ugh. I feel my hopes slipping away.

CarltonAmy · February 2012

I absolutely feel like this! I was due Monday and am still waiting. I had a false alarm this morning (thought my water broke) but they tested it and found out it was not my water. I am very upset and don't really want to be induced, but I am scheduled for Monday. If I am induced I would feel like I was missing out on the real labor experience too.
