Re: Overdue and Over It Check In

  • 1. How far along are you now? 41 weeks

    2. Any upcoming/recent appointments, trips to L&D, false alarms, etc.? I am heading to the hospital at 2pm for a BPP and to see if I'm at all favourable for induction. It would seem, based on my research, that my chances of being induced today are about 50/50, so I'm mentally preparing to be sent home to continue waiting. As much as I wanted to go into labour on my own, if they do offer to induce me... I think I might just go for it...

    3. Anything you'd like to share, talk about, vent about? I'm really done. I'd been doing good for a few days, but I'm back to just being miserable and wanting this baby OUT OUT OUT now. Come on, Hunter!! What's the hold up, kid? It's nice out here!

    4. QOTD: Are you still working, or are you off now? I have been off for 3 weeks now. Starting to get bored, although watching Grey's on Netflix is keeping me fairly well entertained. I was an ER junkie for years, so I never started watching Grey's because I knew I'd be addicted... yup. I am!

  • 1. How far along are you now? 40 weeks 0 days (Due date or not, I'll play!)

    2. Any upcoming/recent appointments, trips to L&D, false alarms, etc.? 40 week appointment tomorrow, prenatal massage scheduled for today. Lots of contractions here and there but nothing worth running to the hospital for.

    3. Anything you'd like to share, talk about, vent about? I thought with progress at my 38 week checkup I wouldn't be making it to my due date, but I should've stuck with the "progress means nothing" mentality... 

    4. QOTD: Are you still working, or are you off now? Working from home most days, still making an appearance in the office on occasion (when I'm having a good day and don't mind the "You still haven't had that baby?!" comments)

As much as I wanted to go into labour on my own, if they do offer to induce me... I think I might just go for it...

    Is it sad that if they offer to induce me at 41 weeks (8/6) I may go for it mostly because I don't want to risk LO sharing a birthday with MIL? (8/10)

    Good luck Aehamilton! I hope one of us gets our baby today!
    41 weeks
    I should hear back from the dr today about the kidney thing. I am also at the point where if they offered induction right now i would say yes. I have my weekly appt tomorrow and he said he will strip my membranes...again. He did it yesterday in emerg as well. So this will be my fifth time in 4 weeks. Unless something really bad comes out of my kidney tests or Nst tomorrow I will probably have my water broken Friday and induced Saturday if that doesn't work.

    I just want to get this show on the road. My back is killing me, the cramping sucks and I am just exhausted. Come on baby make a showing already!
    I have been off since the 19th. So was mh but he went back to work today.

    Nah! That's a valid reason in my books!!

  • 1. How far along are you now? 40w 5d

    2. Any upcoming/recent appointments, trips to L&D, false alarms, etc.? Friday appt

    3. Anything you'd like to share, talk about, vent about? Still here, still with not-too-uncomfortable ctx on & off all day, still up to use the bathroom every 2 hours at night, still unable to walk more than a few blocks without lots of discomfort (so stuck inside on these beautiful summer days). But keeping busy (sort of) with a few things each day - ready to meet the LO!

    4. QOTD: Are you still working, or are you off now? Off for the past several weeks, going back mid-September.

    Not fabk, but mine hurt last week! Enough to make me "owww!" out loud and squirm around. I was only 1cm dilated, though, so that probably made it worse. Also didn't work... Obviously...

  • I'll change my thread down there to GTKY. No worries!

    This is for those of us due today or overdue only!

    1. How far along are you now?
    40 weeks and 5 days. 

    2. Any upcoming/recent appointments, trips to L&D, false alarms, etc.?
    Every night I have time-able contractions that never make it close enough together to go in. Naturally, enough to prevent quality sleep, but not enough to get anything done. 

    3. Anything you'd like to share, talk about, vent about?
    I just want to crawl into a hole. I'm so tired, sore, and ready for this to be over with. 

    4. QOTD: Are you still working, or are you off now?
    SAHM, there is no such thing as a day off at this job!

    @fabk - Tell me about this membrane stripping, how bad did it hurt? Mine didn't work, either...


    The first few times weren't too bad. Yesterday hurt the most, but, as mh pointed out, the other times were done by a female, this time by a male, who probably has bigger hands. I had lots of cramping and back pain every time they did it, but it never really amounted to much more than that. Last week I had a couple of hours of ctx but they died off as well.

    I don't know if it really helps anything. I am already overdue, my cervix is soft and RIGHT THERE as they keep saying and I am dilated about 4-5 cm. My baby is just being a jerk. Must take after his father. LOL.

    They say the same thing to me. I'm walking around at 5.5 cm. The only thing missing is active labor to get me over the hump. I am toying with the idea of just asking them to break my water and get this show on the road. I am done.

  • This is for those of us due today or overdue only!

    1. How far along are you now? 40 weeks + 2 days

    2. Any upcoming/recent appointments, trips to L&D, false alarms, etc.? Regular weekly apptmt tomorrow

    3. Anything you'd like to share, talk about, vent about?  It would be a lot of fun if LO arrived tomorrow because he would share a bday with his 92 year-old great-grandpa (my husband's grandpa).  So I'm trying to send him some good vibes - headed out for spicy Indian food tonight!!

    4. QOTD: Are you still working, or are you off now?  Yep - I am at the office right now.  I telework on Weds and Fris and am looking forward to being at home tomorrow!

    They offered to possible break mine on Friday, but I am really tempted to ask them to do it tomorrow. A week is long enough in my opinion to leave me hanging. Especially now with this kidney thing.

    I would be doing the same if I had this kidney weirdness you've got going on. At this point LO is baked and just being a stubborn little poop (I say that with love lol).

    I also had my membranes stripped at 1 cm and also sadly it didn't work either..

  • 1. How far along are you? 40+5

    2.  Any upcoming/recent appointments, trips to L&D, false alarms, etc.? Appt on friday am really just hoping something happens. Eveey night I have timable conx but nothing hospital worthy and it always stops by morning. So frustrating! 

    3. Anything you'd like to share, talk about, vent about? I am just ready to have my little one on the outside. Though it would also be nice to not feel like a whale anymore.

    4. QOTD: Are you still working, or are you off now?  Nope finished my Mil time and now I am doing the SAHM thing for a while. It's different not having someplace to go every day and makes the waiting for LO worse but I think I will figure it out!

  • 1. 40+3
    2. Appt tomorrow morning. I don't feel any different from the last appt (Monday). So I doubt she'll suggest doing anything before next week.
    3. I want to get this baby's passport NOW (flight planned for middle of Sept) but she's being stubborn. I see an express handling surcharge in my future.
    4. Been off since May 1 (Maternity leave + vacation days from last year) and will be taking the entire 1st year off (yay German paid maternity leave policies!)

  • 1. How far along are you now? 40 weeks 5 days

    2. Any upcoming/recent appointments, trips to L&D, false alarms, etc.? Have an appointment at 1 today for an NST and ultrasound.

    3. Anything you'd like to share, talk about, vent about? Really wish she would come on her own. Feeling a little defeated that at my appointment today we will most likely be scheduling an induction. I have been having moderate contractions at night but it never gets timeable, hoping she comes before any scheduled induction.

    4. QOTD: Are you still working, or are you off now? I have been on maternity leave for 4 weeks and it has been amazing to just spend time with family and friends, and of course my hubby, before our lives are forever changed.

    Oops, sorry, Prim! I didn't realize you had posted one. Thought I had caught up on posts before doing this, but I must have missed it!

  • Update on me: I'm at the hospital getting my first dose of gel to ripen my cervix. I'm on the monitors for an hour and then will be sent home. Hopefully my labour will start tonight, but if not, I come back tomorrow morning for more gel, get monitored, sent home, etc.

    Baby is doing great - scored an 8/8 on his BPP! Go Hunter!
