Still Here

in May 2012 Moms

I was due last week.  Had my membranes swept on Friday, started losing my mucus plug on Sunday, but never had more than random contractions.  So here I sit, still working (at least from home though) and getting increasingly frustrated.  If there's no change, tomorrow I get to call and schedule an induction.  Bleh.

Anyone else still waiting and getting increasingly frustrated with their body??

    I'm frustrated too.  I had contractions from about 10:30pm-5am this morning every 8-12 minutes and then they disappeared. I don't know how women do this for weeks.  This has happened to me twice and it is so frustrating.  GL hopefully your LO will make its appearance without an induction.

    I'm frustrated that I've been getting BH that last 3 minutes. Then last night, I get one real one, get all excited, then the next one is back to BH...

    i wouldn't mind so much if i didn't still have to work.  i mean, i guess i could just go on maternity leave, but i get so little of it paid to begin with, i feel bad using it before the baby!

    I'm still here, too! At this point we are now wanting him to wait a couple of more days. I am scheduled to be induced Thursday afternoon, so we are hoping he will come on his own right before that. :)  I won't complain if he comes earlier but if he waited, his grandparents and aunt and uncle would be able to be here while he is still brand spankin new.

    I actually feel good and haven't really had hardly any hard contractions. I have had alot of BHs but they haven't hurt. Something is going on though because I was 4cm at my appointment on Friday. 

    He must be feeling pretty comfy in there!

    Still here too. Vacillating between despair, rage, and frustration. I am scheduled to be induced on Thursday, and I really don't want that. But nothing major is happening. I was having prodromal labor on Saturday, then he engaged Sunday but no contractions. He's back up again today. I've been doing some of the labor induction tricks and nothing is helping. I even did 100 jumping jacks last night. I want him out! But I also want him to be ready, and I know the doc won't let me go passed Friday.

    Good luck to us all overdue mommies! Labor dust!!!

    Yep, still here :( Trying to stay positive but definitely frustrated and hoping to avoid an induction. I have a doc appointment this afternoon and plan on asking her to sweep my membranes if I've progressed enough. As of 2 weeks ago, "not much was going on" down there so fingers crossed!

    Still here also. Yesterday was my due date. As of last week I wasn't dilated any, only 50% effaced, so really nothing going on. Don't get to see the doc til Friday. Just waiting for the week to go by. Fun fun! :/

    I still have my big baby belly.  My due date is today - I've really been hoping the baby would come a couple days early or perhaps on its due date.... I don't think that's going to happen.  Last Friday when I had my exam there wasn't much going on.  I've been having tons of BH and yesterday I actually had a couple of crampy moments where I had to stop what I was doing and take some deep breaths.  I thought maybe that things were going to start happening, but I was wrong. 

    I need to just accept the fact that I'm going to have a June baby, and that way if the baby does come in the next couple of days it's a great surprise, but it's so hard not to think - maybe today is the day.

    I"m still here, too. Getting pretty impatient waiting for this little one. I was due on Sunday. Had my 40wk appointment this morning and still at 1cm and 70% effaced. Same as the last 3 weeks. Ugh. I've got high BP and lots of swelling so they're watching for pre-e. Basically on bed rest now and not allowed to go for walks. Very bummed about that. Even better, we're still trying to purchase a house and my bank won't let us close until they receive the paperwork from my maternity leave from the disability company, and they won't get that until after the baby is born. Banks are ready to close, so I may be calling a lawyer this week about the drama. Ugh. Good luck ladies! These babies should be here soon!

    Me too! I'm still here and having a terrible emotional basket-case kind of day, thinking that my May 2012 baby will actually arrive in June.  I know it isn't like such a big deal... but it feels like it!  
    Good luck and Godspeed for a quick delivery!
