I'm due today & annoyed.

in December 2013 Moms
I'm starting to reach "angry pregnant lady" status. I KNOW baby's going to come when she wants to, but here I am, on my due date, and barely a real contraction to speak of. I'm literally walking up and down the stairs at my house 3x a day trying to make something... ANYTHING... happen. I'm having a hard time staying positive at this point :( The waiting is the worst! How are you passing the time & staying positive?

    @mavgirl_73 I know you're right, this is just first in a loooong string of events I can't control. It helps to remember that.

    This. It does suck. I went 41+ weeks with both kids so I'm sure Thursday will be the same. Even though we know our EDD means nada, it's hard to watch it come and go.

    I had a pregnant lady freak out last night, rather than being in angry pregnant lady mode -- sobbing and the works. I think it just really hit me that it's FINALLY December and this is really happening. I'm sure angry mode is coming within the week, though -- come next Mon I'll have done all I need to get done and then I'll want her OUT!

    My due date isn't until Friday and I'm already angry pregnant lady. I had my boys at 37 and 38 weeks so this is the "most" pregnant I've been. I am more uncomfortable than I've been with any pregnancy. I know she will come whenever she is ready but I wish it was sooner rather than later.

    I'm there too. Not at my due date but today I have to do another 24 hour urine catch. Nothing like telling a pregnant lady that she basically can't leave the house all day! I just wanna be done. Or go to the movies. Or do anything but collect pee.

    Shopping. ;) Eggplant parm, spicy food and sex is what I did last time. Shopping is just so much easier this time around.

    It's hard, I was late with both boys. I try focusing on what I CAN do that I won't be able to when the baby arrives: more time with my kids, Christmas shopping, decorating for Christmas, doing anything with two hands instead of just one, etc

    I'm not due until next Sunday but have been getting more and more impatient as each day passes. It doesn't help seeing sooo many birth announcements each day (especially for women who are due after me!) Even my husband is like what the hell, get him out already! We're taking the dogs on a very long walk later X(

    @esf60 I'm due tomorrow and passing
    the time with shopping, getting the house together and googling "40 weeks no labor in sight" over and over and over.

    Sorry I have no advice on staying positive as I am not able to do that either...but you're not alone! :)

    @thesportsgal my cousin told me this morning that balsamic vinegar can induce labor without the nasty castor oil side effects. I'm not embarassed to admit I went straight to the pantry.

    @KateMW shopping cures everything! I told my husband he could watch football today at a bar. When the cat's away...

    @ColeRose I think I just dry heaved reading the words "42 weeks."

    @esf60 did you ever exchange your bag or did you decide to go with the smaller size?

    I think I hit the angry pregnant lady phase from about last Wednesday until last night then I just decided f$&@ this and truly zen'd out. Every time I get to this point it's a gentle reminder that control is not something i have any of. Woooosah, and a lot of ice cream helps. Hang in there!

    It's true. Ice cream helps. As does leftover thanksgiving pie.

    or Nutella. Nutella solves all!

    I am due tomorrow and have yet to reach pregnant ragey yet. I have however been EXTREMELY bored since I stopped working and these last few days I have gotten myself into weird things to keep my mind busy for even a few minutes. I hope she comes really soon my stomach is practically in my lap!!

    @thesportsgal I have NO idea. I googled it after she told me and it was on the "might help, can't hurt" list along with many of the other things I'd already heard of, so I figured why not?

    @KateMW I did. Best decision ever. The PM was WAY too small to be a diaper bag!

    I am due on Wednesday and I feel the same way. My husband and I saw Catching Fire on Friday. I have finished all of my Christmas shopping and wrapping, except for things I have ordered online that have not come yet. The baby's room is done. I've washed all newborn and 0-3 clothes, burp cloths, sheets, etc. I've done laps around my house. All that does is make me have to go to the bathroom.

    Yea I feel the same. I'm due Thursday, and last night I literally started freaking out that I'm not really pregnant, this whole thing has been a hoax, etc.

    I mean wtf is that? That is beyond irrational. I was glad DH was not here to see it. But no contractions, no progress...ugh!

    Sleeping passes the time quite nicely lol. Also getting into something like a book or tv series.

    I'm due tomorrow & now that it's officially December I'm getting totally anxious!  No rage though, just like bursting with excitement & don't want to wait anymore!! lol.  I sound like a little kid.  My plan is to start doing LOTS of walking, & sex.  Hopefully that'll get things moving!  I hope both our babies come soon! ;)

    Last time, I started reading the longest book I could find to pass the time. I got about half way through & went into labor. It sort of helped. This time I'm just knitting as many things as possible. I finished 2 projects yesterday!

    Someone told me that foot massages can help? Something about pressure points in the foot. No idea if this is true but it sounds nice.

    @pirategirlpink this has been my plan of attack. I can't knit, but I have been crocheting up a storm. I have made scarves for over half my family.

    It helps right? Now I am so focused on knitting dishcloths and random scarves that I don't have as much time to obsess about when the baby is coming!

    I've been doing this too. So many hats! I will have gifts for all my friends who have kids for the next two years.

    I know a lot of people don't believe in this stuff but to move things along I did squats. I was 1.5 cm and got to 5 cm in 2 hrs at the hospital. I did legit squats, like butt out and all the way down. Held onto a railing and DH was there for support. He lifts regularly so he just showed me proper form and every time I did them we brought on a contraction. I would walk 2 laps around the floor then do 5, walk 2, do 4, walk 2, do 3 and so on. When I was finished I would rest for a bit until I felt ok to try again.
