Still pregnant ladies tell me where your at

Is anyone else just screaming "get out!" I am sooo ready to have this baby. My due date is in two days and he will not engage for the life of me. For the past two weeks the doctors have told me your ready your ready he just needs to drop down. Ugh I feel like a child and want to jump up and down screaming I don't want to be induced.
Was that a vent? I hadn't planned it that way. Anyway am I the only one whose going crazy? I have to schedule an induction at my appointment on Tuesday, and my husbands job is on hold waiting for me to have this child. Today when I was up there I felt like everyone was starring at me like "have the baby already!"
Please ladies tell me that im not alone, whats frustrating you today? Where are you at in this whole process?
Im sitting at a 3 and 80% effaced why won't he come out already.

Re: Still pregnant ladies tell me where your at
I'm over it. With DD I was all prepared to go late, I figured if I went on my EDD then it would seem early. And then I wasn't prepared to have her at 35 weeks. So this time, since statistically I was more likely to go early again, I got everything ready early just in case.
Oh the irony that now I may need to be induced... I'm doing fine physically, but this is just mental torture. No signs that he is coming anytime soon and the thought that I might have June baby is really depressing for some reason. Just trying to tell myself that in the grand scheme of things, another 2 weeks (OMG possibly another 2 weeks!) isn't a big deal.
I'm a little sad that the doctors still haven't checked me to see if I'm dilated or anything... I'm hoping tomorrow when I go to my 39 week appointment that they'll check.. I go tomorrow for my growth ultra & GD check up & said they may start talking inducement, all depending how everything goes tomorrow... I'm assuming due to the GD...

I'm actually calm and happy right now. I am very patient at the end b/c I know that once the baby is born all hell will break lose and the pregnancy complaints won't be as bad as the sleep depravation.
I'm happy to report that I'm 2cm and 50% effaced. This is much more than I ever was with DS#1. It took me about 46 hours from the first contraction to 3cm, so I'm hoping that this labor is shorter!

I'm here with you! I'm also due tomorrow with little progress made. Fingers crossed he comes soon otherwise I have to schedule an induction at my next appointment on Tuesday too.
Come on May babies- let's get the ball rolling so we can meet you
I'm due this Monday the 28th. As of this past Monday (the 21st), at my 39w appt, I was only 50% effaced which was the same as last week. Not dilated any, haven't lost my mp or anything, no contractions - absolutely nothing. This kid does not want to come out! And I'm not scheduled to see my doctor again until next Friday (June 1st). I've thought & said this entire pregnancy that I'll go over & have to be induced. So I figure I'll go to the appointment next week & we'll schedule me to be induced sometime during the week of June 4th. Ugh.
(I'm also in Indiana & cannot freaking believe that it's gonna be in the 90s!!! I thought I'd have this kid before it got too hot.)
You are not alone at all. Like you, I am due on Saturday and I am starting to get very impatient. I know I'm not even overdue yet, but I had nothing going on down there at all at my 39 week appointment on Tuesday and my office would not even talk about inductions until I hit 41 weeks still pregnant. My biggest frustration, too, is that I am still at work and while I was hoping to work until my labor, I am just getting so tired and restless... my head just isn't in the game! My boss told me I could take a week of vacation and so I planned for my last day to be on Tuesday. The week of vacation would put me off until Tuesday of the following week and I am already nervous she won't come before then and I'll have to start my leave before she evem gets here. The OB keeps saying that they won't let me go past 42 weeks, but since my due date is on a Saturday, I'm not sure if that means that once I hit my 42 weeks on the Saturday, then they'd induce afterwards or if they'd want to do it like Thursday or Friday before... and every time I try to ask them about it, they just say the same thing, which is driving me nuts.

This is me exactly.
I'm personally okay with waiting. I still feel good and I'm still sleeping well so I'm in no rush to make her come out. We are not even talking induction until next Wednesday. However, everyone else is driving me nuts. I think I might just hide out from my friends and family until she is here so I can avoid the comments.
Funny, I have the opposite situation. All of a sudden there's an issue with DH's job and they want to switch him to another team while he's supposed to be on paternity leave. So now he has all these meetings scheduled to figure it out but some of them have to wait till people come back from business trips, etc. So I'm sitting here willing the baby NOT to come until this is all resolved. B/c I don't know WHAT happens if I go into labor first. It sounds like they're going to be restructuring his whole current team and I do not want to be spending our first week home with baby worrying whether he's going to have a job to go back to! And seriously, this couldn't have come up a month ago, it had to come up when I could go into labor any minute now??? Sigh.
Here's hoping that your LO comes ASAP and mine stays rooted longer!
I was due on 5/20 (ticker is wrong) and I'm still pregnant
I am actually not in much pain at all, and I have been sick for the last 10 days with a terrible cold, which is finally almost gone. I kept saying I didn't want the baby to come while I was sick, so now that I am better, she can come! I have little faith that she will arrive on her own, though, and am scheduled to be induced this Saturday morning. It will actually be a relief to stop worrying about what's going on down there, and since I am already 3 cm and this is my second LO, I'm hoping labor is quicker this time. Good luck to everyone!
Make a pregnancy ticker
Last Friday I was 2.5 cm, 70% effaced and he's at -3. I have been feeling real crampy the past few days so I am hoping when I go in tomorrow (my due date!) that there will be some more change. I am pretty much feeling exhausted. I have no idea where the burst of energy at the end is. It seems like a ridiculous thing to this heavy, tired mama.
I wish they would give us a due week instead of a due date. Since my due date is tomorrow I feel like everyone is just expecting my water to break right in front of them!
This thread makes me feel better...at least I'm not alone. I'm 39 weeks, but no dilation, not effaced at all. Peanut is head down, but she is just hanging out. Apparently, I have a cozy uterus and she has no desire to leave.
At my appt. today, my OB told me he won't let me go past 41 weeks. I'm so sad. I really don't want to be pregnant for another 2 weeks. I don't want to be induced. I just want baby to come now on her own. I'd like her to pick her own bday.
I wish labor for us all in the very near future...and healthy, adorable babies ;-)
I have no idea where I'm at because my midwives don't check until you are past your due date. I'm slowly starting to go crazy, I have tried pretty much everything on earth to get this baby out. Including jogging and jumping up and down shouting 'out out baby' ... pretty sure I'm becoming known as the crazy pregnant lady on the block.
I may kill DH who keeps hoping the baby will be born on his birthday ... June 3RD! I will kill him.
Try 41w1d with people sending me messages like "you're not still pregnant are you?" or "are you seriously still pregnant?"
That and I've been off work since last week waiting and walking. I'm beyond frustrated. No one in my family wants me to call them unless I'm in the hospital. When they call me and find out I'm at home they get disappointed.
1cm 50% eff, had my membranes stripped yesterday. Contractions started at 5am and stopped by 9am. I have ANOTHER NST scheduled for tomorrow and they will probably induce if my fluid levels drop lower than they were at my last NST.
Castor oil is staring me in the face...
I'm ducking people too. I stopped returning phone calls, emails, and fb messages lol. They are driving me insane.
This exactly, but I am still only 1 cm dilated, and not effaced. Wth?! They are looking to induce me next Thursday, but I have a NST on Tuesday. They won't do anything this weekend for me b/c of the holiday.
On this boat too! Due on Mon May 28th also, at last week's appt (38 wks 4 days) I was 1cm and 75% effaced. Have had contractions, back labor etc on and off for days since then. Just got back from my appt this week, and I have progressed to 2cm and still about 75% effaced and baby's head is engaged in the pelvis. I asked for a potential membrane sweep, and dr said I wasn't open enough all the way around to be able to try.
She then said her only plan is for an induction date of June 7th where I will be 41 wks 4 days, which seems pretty late in the game to me.
So ready to have this baby, like last week. My sister flew out here to be with me, to be around for labor and delivery and spend some time with baby afterwards, but her flight home is booked for June 3rd, so I'm really hoping I can give her atleast a few days with baby before she has to leave! I'm also finding myself to be fairly irritable due to my discomfort day to day. COME OUT BABY!!!
This is me! DH knows there's a chance I'll be scheduled to be induced on his birthday June 5th. It's what he's hoping for. I'll be 41w1d then. I don't care if LO is born on the 4th or 6th, just not the 5th!!
He's been spending his time researching ways to put me into labour and trying to get me to do all of them. So far I have consented to walking, sex, and pineapple (since these are generally pleasant things anyway). But if he jiggles my belly one more time he is going to get throat punched!!

41 weeks today. I'm at the hospital, but not for me. Hanging out with my mom who had to have surgery to remove a grill brush bristle in her throat. I was really hoping to go before my induction date but now I am so thankful that baby has held off. My mom came in town to take care of me! Now my dad is here too.
We were able to move my induction to tomorrow because of all this and now we are hoping that mom can come home tonight.
It's just too bad we aren't at my hospital, but it's only a few blocks down.
I have to call L&d at 4:00 tomorrow morning to see if my spot is open at 6. It's just so weird to know that I'll have a baby tomorrow when induction was not an issue with my first.
I'm due on Tuesday the 29th and at my 39wk appt I was 3.5cm and 70% effaced. Some progress from my last check at 35wks.
My DS was born at 34wks and I also had a scare with this LO at 34wks so i figured once I went off bed rest at 37wks that he would just come out. Obviously this was not the case and I was stressed out and anxious about it. Now I'm just trying to relax and not think about it as my midwife said that the stress was probably why I was not contracting. Since my appt on Tues I have had more contractions and have lost lots of mucus. I am hoping these are signs of an impending baby!
