megs52881 · July 2012

1. When is/was your due date? 7/252. Have you made any progress (if you know)? Zero as of four days ago. The doc said, "Yup nothing going on up there. " I said, "nothing?" She said "absolutely nothing"3. Have you scheduled an induction/c-section? Nope. My last appointment is scheduled for the 20th and I think if there is no progress by then they will schedule an induction around 41 weeks. 4. How are you feeling, physically and mentally? Physically: Tired and uncomfortable and large. Mentally: Anxious to meet this guy! I feel like July has seemed longer than the last 8 months and we are only 9 days in.

zyas · July 2012

1. When is/was your due date? July 25

2. Have you made any progress (if you know)? None at all

3. Have you scheduled an induction/c-section? Yes c/s scheduled for the 18th!

4. How are you feeling, physically and mentally? My back is constantly hurting, feet are so swollen, belly & ribs hurt when I sit. Only just over a week to go though!

Boing214 · July 2012

1. When is/was your due date? Due Wednesday, weird to have two days

2. Have you made any progress (if you know)? Last week was 2 cm dilated and 80% effaced, steadily made progress from the week before

3. Have you scheduled an induction/c-section? Nope, and won't until the two week after mark, even though I can't imagine carrying this child that long

4. How are you feeling, physically and mentally? Physically my pelvis is soooo sore, sick of the heartburn, tired and I don't know why but I've been in a really terrible mood. There wasn't much reason for it until yesterday, but felt really b.tchy.

shawnie13 · July 2012

1. When is/was your due date? 7/20

2. Have you made any progress (if you know)? 2 cm dialated, 50-60% effaced. Baby has dropped and is head down

3. Have you scheduled an induction/c-section? No. If I make it full term, we will talk about it then.

4. How are you feeling, physically and mentally? I just feel worn out (mentally & physically). And the skin on my belly burns when anything touches it. It makes wearing clothing really painful. I know I shouldn't complain because I am not even past due, but I am so ready to not be pregnant anymore.

luvlss1 · July 2012

1. When is/was your due date? July 15

2. Have you made any progress (if you know)? Was dilated & thinned at last appt (last thurs, doc didn't say how much)

3. Have you scheduled an induction/c-section? No

4. How are you feeling, physically and mentally? Physically, so ready to be done. I'm more miserable than not & it's starting to really wear on me. Our heat wave has passed so that is helping some. Mentally, I'm scared as hell.

BransonsBecca · July 2012

1. When is/was your due date?

August 1

2. Have you made any progress (if you know)?

I have my first (and only) check on this Tuesday. Not that it matters but it would be nice to know if all this lightning crotch is doing anything positive! My doula keeps reminding me that it isn't about the "downstairs" numbers, its all about the contractions, so I'm trying to keep that in mind.

3. Have you scheduled an induction/c-section?

Nope, still a bit early for that kind of talk, but my doctor is really pro-natural induction as long as everyone is doing ok.

4. How are you feeling, physically and mentally?

I've had such a wonderfully, easy pregnancy so far- so it's hard to complain. My LO never sleeps and it quite the ninja, which can be painful. My joints are getting looser and more sore. I guess physically, I'm great! Mentally, it's hard to wrap my mind around the fact that we have arrived at FULL TERM! and that the baby could come any day now. I feel really prepared until I think about that. I'm ready to tackle labor and delivery!!! Bring it on!!!

Overall, I'm just anxious to meet LO and find out if we will be Team Pink or Team Blue at long last!

** And, for everyone's enjoyment, here I am, camping/cooking, at 35 weeks, in 100+ weather. Enjoy the belly whiteness! I'm sure all the other campers did, haha.**

shannonvet · July 2012

1. Yesterday

2. Last Tuesday I was maybe 1 cm dilated...

3. Induction scheduled for tomorrow at 5 am

4. Have had pelvic symphyseal disorder since 20 weeks, so I am physically done. Mentally, I am starting to freak out a little bit about no longer just being able to do my own thing and actually having a baby to care for...

apardy131 · July 2012

1. When is/was your due date? July 29th

2. Have you made any progress (if you know)? I was checked on Friday and I am 60% effaced and 1 cm dilated

3. Have you scheduled an induction/c-section? Nothing scheduled

4. How are you feeling, physically and mentally? I am feeling pregnant... Mentally - I cannot concentrate on things I have noticed, my mind wanders and it is hard to get focused. Physically I feel like a blob, I am still walking a lot, but I am tired. My lower back hurts periodically and I am having a lot of cramping today.

People keep asking us if we are ready and I figured out the perfect answer... "We are as ready as we are going to be with something we have never done before"

JLCrafty · July 2012

1. When is/was your due date?

It was yesterday

2. Have you made any progress (if you know)?

We have doctor's appointment tonight, so I'm excited to see if I've made any prograess. As of last week I hadn't made any progress whatsoever

3. Have you scheduled an induction/c-section?

Scheduled for induction on July 16th- at this point I feel pretty confident I'll make that

4. How are you feeling, physically and mentally?

I feel great, no contractions or cramping or even a braxton hicks.... nadda.
I have a lot of engery and I'm still pretty comfortable.

And of course, I'm excited to meet my little man.

1. When is/was your due date? This Thursday the 12th
2. Have you made any progress (if you know)? I've been 1cm and 60% effaced for 4 weeks. ARGH!
3. Have you scheduled an induction/c-section? No but at my appointment tomorrow I know they will make me schedule an induction (just so there is a spot, not because they are pushy).
4. How are you feeling, physically and mentally? I'm drained. I just got out of bed (10:35am) which is so unlike me. I just don't have the motivation I used to. I am going on a super long walk like I do every day in hopes of maybe, just maybe making it to a whopping 1.5cm!

I'll also throw out a request since the last check-in had so many responses. PLEASE please PLEASE add a unique picture to your avatar or sig. Otherwise, I can't remember who's who! If you don't want to post your own pic, then just pick out something fun

kellabee03 · July 2012

1. When is/was your due date?

July 20th

2. Have you made any progress (if you know)?

My 38 week doc appt is this afternoon and it will be my first cervical check. With the nonstop cramping I have had over the weekend I'm hoping there was SOME movement down there!

3. Have you scheduled an induction/c-section?

Will discuss induction at 40 weeks

4. How are you feeling, physically and mentally?

Just started maternity leave today which worked out perfectly because I have been super crampy and uncomfortable lately. I agree with pp's who said that these last few weeks are dragging! I haven't been scared for labor or delivery AT ALL (in denial perhaps??) until my cramps were really bad yesterday and for a split second I thought "Is this labor?" Now I'm getting a little nervous since I know it can be any minute now. Beyond ready to meet my baby girl though!

Pandril19 · July 2012

1. When is/was your due date? July 22

2. Have you made any progress (if you know)? None. Dr thinks baby is head down, but she's still high.

3. Have you scheduled an induction/c-section? Nope. Know that despite GD my doc won't force an early induction, will find out this week if there's a backend date.

4. How are you feeling, physically and mentally? Physically okay. Mentally a little nervous/anxious. Not about delivery or being a mom in the greater sense, but about the immediate month or so of being a new mom. Not sure TheBoy is really on board with what it's going to take...

CincyWX · July 2012

1. When is/was your due date? July 16

2. Have you made any progress (if you know)? 1cm. next check is tomorrow.

3. Have you scheduled an induction/c-section? Negative, but I'll talk with the doc about that tomorrow to see what their policy is.

4. How are you feeling, physically and mentally? Getting harder to get comfy sitting and sleeping. Otherwise I'm still feeling fine. Today I've gotten half "you look great" and half "you look miserable" comments... half of these people have to be lying...

CupcakeMama08 · July 2012

1. When is/was your due date? July 17th

2. Have you made any progress (if you know)? Not sure...haven't had any internals. Last week doctor said the baby was still high, but he is head down and has been for weeks.

3. Have you scheduled an induction/c-section? Nope and don't plan on it until it is necessary.

4. How are you feeling, physically and mentally? Physically I am tired and feeling crampy. Tired of not being able to move around like a normal person! Mentally, I was ok until this weekend. I'm starting to get irritated and it is especially hard to be at work and have to hear all the comments about how I'm still at work from my co-workers. But, I'm surviving because I know it could still be awhile!

Ms. Lisi · July 2012

OUKatie:

1. When is/was your due date?

july 28th... seems like forever!

2. Have you made any progress (if you know)?

at my last check I was 1/2 cm, 50 % effaced, so not much

3. Have you scheduled an induction/c-section?

Nope, my OB wont schedule it until after my due date passes

4. How are you feeling, physically and mentally?

Physically- heavy and tired... not to mention that my belly itches ALL THE TIME. Mentally, I am just glad to be full term and know that LO can come any time and be alright. As long as I keep that in perspective I am fine. I am getting anxious to meet her, though.

Jazibel · July 2012

1. When is/was your due date? 7/7/12

2. Have you made any progress (if you know)? As of last Wednesday 1.5cm 50% effaced.

3. Have you scheduled an induction/c-section? We're aiming for a natural home birth so only Acupuncture, herbs and membrane sweep so far. If we get to 41.5 weeks (or have reason to) we'll discuss induction options...

4. How are you feeling, physically and mentally? Finally resigned that this baby will come when it wants too. I've been thinking I'll go into labor since 37-38 weeks but nothing.. So I have given up and will just hang in there until he decides to show up. :-). Physically sore pelvis, more tired than usual, BH and cramps but no sustained contractions....

RobinaUMCP · July 2012

July 6 - 3 days overdue. Argh!
