Hey, Jealously

megahofmegahof member
in February 2012 Moms

I'm trying to come to terms with the distinct possibility that my baby will have to come via induction, since she's so comfy in here. (Both me and my brother were so late that today they never would have let my mom stay pregnant for so long - I think genetics are going to be a major factor here.) While I'm not happy about it, I'm trying to take things day by day and try to enjoy being pregnant for these last couple days/weeks.

Meanwhile, three of my friends who were due at the end of the month have already given birth this past week. Plus, I just got a call from my mom, who told me that my brother's girlfriend gave birth to my niece last night -- she wasn't due until March. (I posted a couple months back about that saga, but can't find the link to the post.)

So, I'm having a pity party for myself. I'm thrilled for my friends and my new niece, but can't seem to quell the jealousy. That's all.

    I'm right there with you. I'm one week overdue and every time I check the posts and see another "baby has arrived" post, my first reaction is always something along the lines of "that $*%*#" before I manage to get to the "Congratulations, good for her" feelings. Just remember that our babies will eventually come out of us. They just have to at some point! When our babies and our bodies are ready, it will happen... no sooner than that, unfortunately. Hugs.

    I know how you feel, I know a few women who were due after me and have already had their baby. I keep telling myself that my LO is just not ready yet and that's ok, it gives me a chance to do some last minute things like packing my hospital bag!  Hang in there your LO will be here soon! :)

    There with you too. My induction is scheduled for the 26th. I was 3 days late and DH was 5 weeks late....not looking good for her coming on her own.

    I was on the pity party train too.  But I have kind of changed my way of thinking. 

    Even if this baby came on it's own there are so many potential complications that would/could have arisen.   And any plan I may have had in my head might have gotten derailed and then where would I be?

    I kinda like that I have an induction date.   My OB is on vacation anyway so I'm kinda glad the baby is just hanging out.  And it makes me feel good to know (s)he is so comfy they just weren't ready to enter the world.  I did that for my baby!  :)  

    I was born a week late too.  But because of my GD (which as been perfect throughout this preganancy) I'm being induced the evening of my due date.

    I am right there with you too. I was due on the 14th and both of my friends that were due late feb/early march both have delivered already! I am so anxious waiting, but I know that everything happens for a reason and she will arrive when she is ready. My doctor will not induce me until I am 42 weeks unless it is medically necessary. So I potentially have to wait another 8 days....
