Rant: yesterday baby was pretty low, and I had strong (but not painful or regular) BH all day. I was sure I'd be in early labor by this morning. I tried everything to get the contractions to even out (yoga ball, hands and knees , walking). I woke up this morning, no BH, and baby's butt is practically in my sternum! I can't believe she moved up again!
Induction Date Set? "wait list" for Thursday. Apparently my dr is overbooked for inductions! I'm OK with that, if my NSTs are good, I may even try to push that back more.
Anything (not baby) you are looking forward to this week? The time off work is nice . I'm decorating for Christmas today, and then meeting up with a friend for lunch. Tomorrow I'm catching up with a friend I haven't been able to hang out with much in a long time!
Anything else you want to say? HOLY CRAP! I'm gonna have a baby this week!!! (99% likely)
First, I've been a lurker but since there are so few of us with inside babies left, thought I'd join in. Thinking about all your girls this week and next!!
Weeks: 40+6
Induction date: Dec 9. at 41+6. That's the latest they'll let me go and I want to give this kid its best shot to come on its own. I have a sonogram and doc appt tomorrow and sonogram on Friday to make sure going to the 9th is still the best option for LO.
Rants: I am SO READY to meet this little child. I described it to my mom as the longest Christmas Eve ever, I want Christmas morning to come (my delivery) so I can meet my precious little gift.
Rave: DH has been AWESOME. It's clear he's going to be an amazing dad.
I wish I had something to look forward to this week. Being a week overdue I'm not making any plans. Still trying to work a little and hoping it's a quiet week at work.
To the rest of you, hang in there, it will be our turn soon enough!
Rants/Raves? Had contractions Friday night for about 7 hours and the last hour they were 4 minutes apart then just completely stopped. So frustrating. Plus everyone keeps saying "hey why haven't you had your baby yet? " whenever they see me. I just want to punch them! I spent most of my day yesterday trying not to cry from feeling discouraged. I feel that this baby isn't going to come in time for me to vbac. I have an appointment today and theyre most likely going to schedule my csection which is disappointing.
Induction Date Set? No but most likely csection date
Anything (not baby) you are looking forward to this week? If baby doesn't come by tomorrow I'm going to get a pedicure.
Anything else you want to say? Ds1 is so freaking adorable, he figured out how to spray dh with his bath time rubber ducky and he was laughing hysterically doing it
Technically still inside ATM! Water broke at 11:30 last night.
How many weeks? 40w3d
Rants/Raves? RAVE: Baby girl is almost here. The epi is amazing! Rant: I caved and got the epi. Didn't want to but I needed petocin and couldn't handle it.
Induction Date Set? Nope
Anything (not baby) you are looking forward to this week?not really.
Anything else you want to say? I'm so excited that this is my last inside check in!
Good luck all you other moms with inside baby's still. Your almost there!!
Rants/Raves?I had a failed induction on November 27th 12 hours of inducing and contractions every 2 hours but my little angel didnt want to engage so here we are
Induction Date Set? second attempt set Dec 5
Anything (not baby) you are looking forward to this week? ummmm Im making chili for Dinner !
Anything else you want to say?I never thought I'd be still pregnant into December but its better to be late then too early
Rants/Raves? Doctor is recommending I schedule a C-section due to baby's size. His head size is especially large and she's worried about his shoulders getting caught. He's already measuring 9 lbs. We're going with her recommendation even though I really wanted to avoid a C-section. I don't want him to get hurt just because of my stubborn-ness for vaginal delivery I was initially very sad and disappointed but I think it's the right choice.
Induction Date Set? Dec. 5th- 6am, but we are probably going to get a c-section by that date instead.
Anything (not baby) you are looking forward to this week? Being able to finally take maternity leave and focus on family.
Anything else you want to say? Good luck everyone! I can't wait to see pictures of all the little ones!
Rant: I keep having contractions start and then go away! Grr! Rave: Today was my last day at work. Not easy for me to say goodbye to my first graders I was planing to work until she got here. Sort of a rant and rave.
Induction: I've decided not to be induced unless something is wrong with her or I.
Looking forward to sleeping in until she comes!
I'm tired of people asking me if the baby is here yet! Being a teacher means I had to hear it from staff AND parents all day today! I'm sure you can all relate!
I think I "win" the most overdue award...a dubious distinction.
41w 3d
Rant: I don't think most people get how hard it is to go past your due date. It is such a mind-f/$&
Rave: I made chicken pot pie for dinner and decorated our house for Christmas.
Induction: none scheduled. My midwife stripped my membranes today and finally let her do a cervical check. I am happy nobody is talking induction yet.
Random: as much as I want to meet LO and see if we have another boy or a girl, I'm getting stressed about how hard it's going to be with two under two. It's like all this extra time is making me doubt my ability to do any of this. Did I mention this is a total mind-f<{%

Even before my due date I was worrying about going into labor at any moment. Once it passed and people started bugging me everyday it really became weird and I can't imagine how it feels even further along. I keep wondering if my body even knows how to have a contraction because I've yet to feel one. Now, with a scheduled c-section I guess I'll never know
Your little one is bound to come soon I'm glad you're still able to avoid induction!
Rants/Raves? I unexpectedly started my maternity leave today. Went in to work and ended up heading home before the start of my work day. I had bloody show with contractions every six minutes for 5 hours and then they just stopped...still cramping like crazy, but LO once again decided it wants to stay in there.
Induction Date Set? Set for December 6. Hoping that today is an encouraging sign that LO might decide to come on it's own before then.
Anything (not baby) you are looking forward to this week? Doctors appt. Wednesday. Being off of work.
Anything else you want to say? I think I scared the poo out of my niece and nephews today. I had went to my parents for a little bit and they where there. They had been told that I was having contractions and LO could make an appearance and they just sat and stared at me. I think they were waiting for it to just pop out of there : )

So funny about your niece and nephew. Mine would have responded the same way! (8 & 10) Sounds like you are making progress - good luck!
