Who's overdue?

I know there are a few ladies from Jan and at least 1 from a few days ago but I feel like I'm the only one! Everyone seems to be going early!!  What am I doing wrong?  DS was born 2 days after EDD so I feel like I'm a failure.  Starting to lose my mind and I'm sure that's not helping.  I'm asking my MW to strip my membranes at my Thursday appt.  Sex is NOT working.

Re: Who's overdue?

  • Me!  One day overdue.  I was thinking this morning about starting a daily overdue check in, but thought it might be too depressing.

  • I am!  Only by one day, and I'm still feeling good, so I'm not in a huge rush... but I really don't want to have to be induced so I'm hoping this baby decides to arrive on her own soon!

  • Me!  It really does feel like everyone else is having their LO's early, making the extra wait even harder.

    I just keep trying to tell myself that all that matters is that this baby is healthy and gets here safely....although I'm still feeling pretty annoyed! :)

  • Me! 3 days overdue here. dS1 was born at 39 weeks 6 days so this being overdue thing stinks!

    I've tried everything, spicy food, walking, sex, pineapple, bouncing on a ball, pedicure, had a membrane sweep today. Nothings working!

    I'm 3 cm and my dr said I'm stretchy and she thought she stretched me to a 4. I've been 3 cm for 3 weeks. They are looking into induction next week. As a natural momma that word terrifies me!

  • You're not alone!  And at least you're getting sex in an attempt to help out!  My DH has been totally uncooperative.  I'm 41w today and the current plan is to induce Friday.  This baby needs to get out! :)  Mama wants snuggles and a real reason to sleep so poorly.

  • Thanks ladies! I was feeling freakish and all alone in this sea of birth announcements! Sad

    I am hoping for a birth center birth and with the days going by and no baby, I'm so afraid I won't get it. Induction literally scares the crap out of me. I will be kicking and screaming if it comes to that.

  • *raises hand* I'm 4 days over due. Being induced on Friday unless I go before then....which I'm REALLY hoping for! 

    I was only a fingertip dilated as of yesterday, but 50% effaced...so I guess that's good that there's some thinning....now keep it up cervix! 

  • me. i'm getting a little bit more and more depressed every day.

    i wouldn't mind if my kid wasn't measuring big with an 'off the charts' head size, but that combined with the possibility of induction next week is giving me c-section fears. blah.

  • I am 3 days overdue and being induced tmr... I've done everything including going for a run....she just doesn't want out. Not looking forward to induction but definately looking forward to her being in my arms.
  • Ditto, and I want chocolate.

  • I am due today and since its 8 p.m. and I've had no signs....I'm guessing he isnt coming today! I have an appointment Thursday-if he doesnt come by then- and my dr. will schedule to induce grrrrr

  • I was due on Monday, I've got my next appointment on Friday so I hope to go before that! I'm trying for a VBAC so hope my doc will let me go to 42w if this baby in uncooperative!

  • I'm overdue as well. They won't let me go past Friday though, so at least I know the end is near! I wish that LO would decide to come on it's own though!

  • I was actually going to post a warning about a month ago.  It would have said 'warning-even if your due date is Feb1, it will feel like most of the board has delivered before you in january'.   I remember this happened last time & I was due mid-month.  This time being due today I knew there'd be all these Jan babies & I'd be super envious.  B/c for me & any other previous c/s momma's, we don't even get a chance to get induced.  I wish I could get induced.  If LO doesn't make her appearance I get to have another c/s & recover from that while dealing with a newborn & a toddler.  yeh, that's fun.  So at least be happy that even if induction isn't your choice at least you're not facing definate major abdominal surgery for which you'll be taking drugs, & worrying about your milk coming (while on drugs too) & not sleeping while recovering from surgery & having nobody to take care of you b/c dh is taking care of everyone else. etc... hope that makes you feel better.  i woke up at 4 am today from anxiety over the dreaded c/s recovery.
