Alright who's left?

PrimRoseMama · August 2013

I've seen at least 4 or 5 of us poor souls who have yet to have their babies. Sound off! Who is overdue and OVER IT?

aehamilton13 · August 2013

Ugh, me! Have been at L&D most of the day, but never admitted, and just got sent home because contractions have petered out to 20 minutes apart from 4 minutes. WTF?!

Also, seriously debating just getting the epi right off the bat tomorrow when I get my call to be induced... This shit hurts, man!

Me I'm still waiting!! This little girl doesn't seem to realize that there's no more room...

Aw, sorry dude. That's so frustrating! I had an ultrasound today and baby looks perfect, with a great amount of amniotic fluid. The midwife said he got a "perfect score." I hope that doesn't mean he's too comfy! Membranes were stripped. I've had a few cramps and a contraction or two but nothing else.

Here's to hoping you go into labor soon!

Still here. Just took the pups for a long walk, cramping a bit but nothing significant. I have my next appointment in the morning for a BPP, yesterday baby scored an 8/8 (MaryAnne I had the same thought, he must be too comfy in there!)

Aeham- so sorry your contractions petered out! That just isn't fair, what a tease.

Prim - Did you get your induction scheduled?

EagleWife · August 2013

Good luck to all of you! Babies need to get on outta there!

Brit448 · August 2013

Good luck to all of you!

Clyde013 · August 2013

Good luck ladies. Looking forward to seeing your birth announcements soon!

danielledunning · August 2013

Still here, but only 1 day overdue, so I don't have nearly as much to complain about as you ladies. You have all my respect.

I AM looking forward to tomorrow being my last day of work though. I finally decided I can't hang anymore. I was trying to make it until the last minute, but the annoying comments have gotten completely out of hand the last 2 days so I decided to remove myself from the general public.

Good luck to everyone!

aehamilton13 · August 2013

Hope you ladies go soon, too! This is so frustrating for all of us!

fabk · August 2013

Still here. Induction scheduled for saturday....if i don't get bumped. I have to call them at 5:30am to be sure and drive 2.5 hrs to be there for 8 am. Fx crossed I don't get bumped. Since i just have cramping and back ache today i don't think i will be having this baby before saturday.

Nope not yet. I called the on-call this evening because my BP spiked at 141/95. It freaked me out so she wants me to call in the morning to bump up my appointment. She thinks its a good idea to schedule a medically necessary induction because my BP is slowly edging up. The one spike tonight is not be worried (unless its consistent or something changes like rapid swelling or headache) about. However, they want to take care of this and feel it a good idea to move forward over the weekend. I don't have an exact date but I have a feeling that by tomorrow I will have a plan.

Good luck everyone! Thinking about all of you who are overdue. It SUCKS. Honestly, we should have made T-shirts that say "Overdue and Over It."

valstulas · August 2013

@aeham: I thought this was going to be it for you! Bummer!!!

@prim: FX that this gets them moving on that induction at least.

For all the rest of you: I'm sorry, I know it sucks. Sending labor dust your way!

kkangl161 · August 2013

Me too, have been having regular contractions and they go down to about 4 minutes but then they slow down to like 20-30 minutes apart or just stop alltogether. Ugh its so frustrating! Hope at my appointment tomorrow I can just get this over with. They wont let me schedule my induction until after this appointment so we will see when this goes down. FX crossed!

Celestialjensen · August 2013

Still here! But I'm only 3 days overdue so don't have as much to complain about. Here's to healthy babies making an appearance soon!

iriscarmendiaz · August 2013

Overdue and over it! I am only 40 weeks and 2 days but I am alternating between being furious, frustrated and depressed. At my 38 week appointment my cervix moved all the way to the front, was soft and 2cm. A week later I was told I was all the way back and closed. Apparently I was closing up! WTF!!!!!!

Not to mention all the false labor alarms Ive been having including last night. Progressively painful 5 minute apart contractions for over three hours and they tell me a different criteria for coming in each time and they wont allow.me.go.go.to the hospital. Then the contractions fizzle out.

I swear every time my body tries to go into labor the baby freaks out and tells my body to stop. I dont get it.

I am soooooo over this!

This! Having delivered at 41w6d I hope to goodness you all have your babies soon, I wouldn't wish such impatient misery on anyone!

SplashingFishy · August 2013

I'm still here...only 40w1d, but still over it. I've been bouncing on my exercise ball, drinking my RRLT and working on a couple final projects (bunting for the nursery, and knitting a skin-on-skin sweater) thinking maybe that's what she's waiting for.

The spiked BP is scary. I hope it stays down but gets you a pass to the front of the line! C'mon babies, why are you all so darn stubborn?! I feel as a group we have stalled on the birth stories.
