I agree too.. I get a little jealous every time I see a baby arrived post. I will be 40 weeks on Thursday and honestly have no signs of impeding labor. I know it can happen in a short period of time but my dr and hubby and even I think he's going to arrive later than sooner. I'm happy he will be cooking longer but getting very bored waiting I see his little face. I am ready for a change!!
Due the 8th and still very pregnant. I have had false labor twice though. It is very frustrating cause it plays with your emotions. Had contractions for 12 hours straight yesterday for them to stop all together. AGAIN!!! Arghh I just don`t want the baby to be born on the 5th lol
I'm due the first and I am so excited that I only have 2 more weeks of this at the most. I love my baby, but I miss not peeing myself a little everytime I sneeze.

Yea... I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but that may not change all that much!
Honestly, with as many posts as we've had with 37-38 weekers ending up in the NICU for breathing and feeding troubles, he's welcome to cook until 41 weeks. Yes, I'm kind of over it, but I would MUCH rather have a fully cooked LO.
This exactly. Still prego here. and 11 days isn't sooo long to wait. Though with all the fakeout-contractions I feel as if she's gonna come any minute.
I didn't think we were tracking drive bys... That would get just a wee bit out of hand!
I'm def. not tracking them all, but people who have a decent number of posts but aren't in there, I'm adding if I can.
We'll see how long that lasts. If I get sick of tracking their info down, or distracted by my own LO, I probably won't keep it up. If you aren't in the sheet already, or don't message one of us directly, tough.
I'm looking for the google doc to see everyone's progress, but can't find it. Where is it posted?
It seems as if everyone's progressing except for me. I'm 38 weeks tomorrow and no contractions at all and the baby is still nice n high. I understand where you are coming from. It seems like I've been pregnant forever, and would be encouraged if I showed signs of even the slightest progress
Due the 13th and nothing going on here either. I totally know how it feels to be the last though...DS was due 7/26 but didn't come until 8/2...so it seemed like everyone in my July group beat me.
I'm not going to lie, I'm jealous of the outside babies. I'm ready to get this show on the road.
Actually not even a third of the ladies have had their baby. I am early August (6th) and still have not had LO yet. It may seem that everyone has had their baby but there are a lot that have not.
I was looking at the inside/outside ratio this morning and was shocked. I feel like we have had WAY more than 22 announcements.
I tried to get on and change the Google doc (it still shows me due on the 8th even though LO showed up July 17). I imagine I'm not the only one in this boat.
"Courage doesn't always roar. Sometimes it's the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, 'I will try again tomorrow.'"
I know a lot of FTM's who went "early" at 37, 38, 39 weeks (only one induction) so I don't believe "all FTM's go late theory." And if they went past their due date (with the mom's I know), it was 1-3 days and then they had their LO.
I am 36 weeks pregnant and due August 25th. Although it is hard to see a lot of women on here having their babies already, I am okay with LO "cooking" a few more weeks.
And yeah..don't strain yourself msspeedymarie on keeping tabs of the Drive-Bys. Not worth it!

This is what makes me nervous about having a 38 weeker. I know it's better for my health, but still makes me nervous.
Ahhh...I thought last night was it! Contractions every 5 mins for 3 hours headed to L&D...things slowed to every 10 mins. Really wishing tjis little guy would arrive.

I feel like everyone has had there baby... I'm 38weeks today so I still have time but the waiting game is killing me!!!! Every slight pain has me questioning "is this it?" I want him to stay in as along as he needs to but I can't wait to meet him! I'm a first time mom so I don't know what to Expect.
I'm walking around at 5cm progressed and thinned. False starts abound. I've been that way since 38 weeks.
My first baby came at 39 weeks. Everything and anything is possible FTM or not!
It's that he dropped and everybody keeps telling me including my doctor that ill go any day now... The pressure is Insane! I feel like I have to carry my stomach or LO will fall out
With my first, my OB made it sound like as soon as I hit 36 weeks, I was due to go into labor any second. It made the last month really long. DS came at 40w1d.
I just hit 36 weeks today with this LO and I'm anticipating it being another 4 weeks before anything exciting happens. My advice for FTMs would be to block out all the people telling you it will happen early and convince yourself it will be no sooner than your EDD.
I told myself i was going to be patient and not even expect the baby to come before my EDD but it is becoming increasingly hard to do! People need to STFU so i can block them out easier!
I'm totally with you! I'm 38 weeks this week also. I love reading all the birth stories, but I am so ready for LO to get outa there! That past couple weeks being so uncomfortable and unable to enjoy the summer is driving me crazy.
I have been here all along but I am unsure if I ever put my info for the spreadsheet. I am due Aug 3rd and I am still waiting for baby. I am fine with not going til my due date, I just don`t want to be late and induced again.
No one else will ever know the strength of my love for you. After all, you are the only one who knows what my heart sounds like from the inside.
He is due August11th and my birthday is August 7th so my Nerves are off the wall
You're like me I'm due the 18th my birthday is the 15th :-)

You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, 'I lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along.'
I am due August 21st and still pregnant, third pregnancy so I have some idea what to expect. 37 weeks Thursday and last day of work is Friday. Baby is welcome to come anytime after next week hahahaha.

Agreed! I am dreaming of sleeping on my tummy again, but want her to come in her own time, and I am completely ok with her being a bit overdone.
