frustrated (sorry)

babygirlB3 · May 2012

Hey ladies, I dont post often because I hate to be a complainer, but I just NEEDED to get this off my chest, and I thought you ladies might understand or feel the same way. So this is my 3rd baby. With my first i went at 38 weeks on my own and it was such a great experience to have that unexpected excitement. With my 2nd I had to be induced. It was a successful induction and it was a great birth, no complaints. Well this time around I just know I am going to be induced again.This pregnancy was completely unplanned as I was on the pill faithfully. I am frustrated that it is not going to happen naturally for me again and I will just have to wait it out. This is our last time around and I would just LOVE LOVE LOVE for my water to break or contractions to start on their own. I dont know why, but I just know its not going to happen for me.

Thanks for letting me vent really quick. I would love to hear some people who have felt the same.

With DD, I delivered spontaneously on my due date. This time, I feel like a ticking time bomb that will be induced at every appt. I want to go into labor spontaneously, but, I just don't see it happening. I'm terrified I won't be able to handle the pain of induction, too. I had a long labor with DD, but since I was left to do my own thing, it built up slowly. Only thing I can do is take it one appt at a time.

I understand my first came at 39 weeks spontaneously, my second came after my water broke at 40 weeks 4 days and I ended up on pitocin to get the contractions going. This time I'm sure I'll be induced at 41 weeks, it is very frustrating!

I am right there with you. I went in to this pregnancy, my first, with plans to go naturally without any medication. For as long as I knew what birth was, that's what I've wanted.

But I was technically at 40 weeks last weekend (yay for charting!) and my OB doesn't want me to go beyond 41 weeks. So... nothing has changed in the last three weeks. The baby hasn't moved at all. So I get to go in for an ultrasound today to see how the kid is doing. And, if I'm not in labor by tomorrow, I get to schedule my induction. To say I'm upset is an understatement. Turns out my mom was induced with both my sister and I, which I didn't know until last night. Good to f'ing know, Mom. So it is sounding like I'm rapidly going away from the plan I had in my head. It's disappointing as hell. So far I've managed to only cry about it a little, but I'm just trying to hold it together at this point. I can't wait to hold my baby. I just wish it was on my/its own terms.

With my first, I was so sure that I was going to be late, everyone in my family was super late and I figured if I prepared for a 41-42 pregnancy and went on my due date I'd feel like I was early. And then I had DD at 35 weeks and wasn't prepared.

This time, I've been terrified of having another preemie and the reality that I might go full term is crazy to me. I never had this huge sense of waiting and trying to figure out what every twinge is last time. I'm thinking that he is stubborn and it might be awhile, and I agree with PP, being a ticking time bomb sucks.
