Overdue and over it

sweet*18 · February 2014

I saw this on previous BMBs and thought this would be a good place for all of us to vent about being overdue and over it to avoid multiple threads.

I'm so over being pregnant. The Dr stripped my membranes yesterday and nothing has happened. My hip popped out of place yesterday and I finally got it back in (after many tears) this morning. I'm sick of everyone at work saying "Omg you're still here, you're huge, you look miserable, do you think he will ever come out?" Along with the multiple texts in the mornings asking if I'm in labor. I'm ready to chuck my phone and not come back to work until after my leave. Grr

Ugh, I really hope this baby comes out "on schedule" (hahahaha) because I'm already getting the Oh you're still here?! comments at work - no shit asshole I'm not due for another 2wks. And I love the random dude "Whoa, she's about to pop!!!" He's lucky I need my job so I can't throw things at customers.

Of course, H is so helpful with his "when are you gonna have that baby because I'm ready for vacation". He may get stabbed with a fork at dinner "on accident".

Good luck ladies - I hope babies arrive soon and people STFU.

My EDD is tomorrow and I'm at work until Friday. But yes...getting tired of those same comments. My first was late and had to be induced...disappointed that LO is looking the same right about now. Everyone keeps telling me #2 isn't usually late. Enough already!

Beachmommy1029 · February 2014

3 days over due so far and trying not to get stabby... My parents are here and invited our neighbors and their toddler over last night- wtf guys?! I ran errands and had appointments yesterday and basically sat in silence and contracted on the couch all night while everyone yelled and laughed and. Holy crap that's a long sentence. I just cried after they all went home. I'm over it.

ahare2009 · February 2014

2 days over due here and today is my last work day. I'm getting tired of people asking, "you're still here?" I have a doctor's appt. tomorrow and am scheduled for induction Thursday morning. My biggest worry now is the snowstorm moving in today that is predicting 4-8" of snow plus 1/4" ice on top of that.

HisLovf · February 2014

Not overdue, but I can relate to being over other people. It's not even strangers; it's my mom and grandma! "When is he coming out? I wanna hold a baby again!" Or all the outdated or dangerous advice on how to induce (eg. castor oil). He's not done cooking yet! Leave me alone!

I'm am not overdue and want my LO to bake longer but after last night I'm reaching my breaking point. I've had hip pain for months now and it just keeps getting worse. Rolling over in bed is so painful I could cry everything.

Are you seeing a chiropractor? If not you should really try to. I was having this pain and it is completely gone now. Life is so much happier!

I'm over my in laws texting and calling me all day long. We will let you know! I promise.

I thought I was the only one annoyed by this! When I told my SO that next week will be my last week at work, his response was "Good, because I am so ready for you to have this baby. I could seriously use that weeks vacation". As if he has been the one carrying a little baby inside of him for the last nine months, dealing with all of the issues! I might accidentally nudge him in his balls if I hear it one more time.

queeniecrayon · February 2014

Not overdue yet, but totally over it! Random contractions are still happening!!!! Ugh, just turn into something already! I was debating calling into work again tonight, but decided that I'd rather see if all the walking and physical exertion does anything before my appointment tomorrow. I probably won't be able to walk for tomorrow night's shift though....last 2 nights!

littlepig2 · February 2014

I'm not overdue but I am so over it. I had my 38w appt today and was hoping I had made some progress from last week. nope! still the same. and baby is head down but not engaged. when the dr said "see you next week!" I almost burst into tears. I want her to come when she's ready but I want her to be ready now. whine whine whine.

sandraanddrew · February 2014

(Ticker is off by a week, I'm actually 39W3D) I'm not overdue but am completely over it! Tired of waking up in the morning to the text msgs asking if the baby came yet. Tired of constant contractions that just won't seem to get into any sort of pattern. Tired of how crappy I feel on these damn blood pressure meds. Tired of it all.

questisthebest · February 2014

Have a few days left till due ate, but very much over it! I've felt like I've been in early labor the last 24. Hours or so (tons of braxton hicks, bloody show, cramping, etc) but I seem to be stuck in a rut and the lack of forward progression is driving me crazy! I think nights are the hardest because at least I can distract myself a bit during the day.

notreal2 · February 2014

Not overdue, but I am ready to call Sea World and see if they rent that device they use to move Shamu around. It would make my life so much easier.

courtls22 · February 2014

I just want to agree with all of what PPs have said! I'm also tired of cleaning my damn house thinking "today will be the day." I know I shouldn't care but I do. I'm beginning to think if I just make a huge freaking mess, baby will decide he is ready!

ChinaDoll87 · February 2014

Tired of the daily phone calls. If I was having the baby or had him I would let you know sooner than later. Leave me alone already

halfthetree · February 2014

My "due date" was Sunday, so I won't be overdue until Monday, but I'm getting pretty sick of the daily calls and texts.
And my sister who was due this weekend had her baby last night, so that's a bit annoying.

cjmFeb2014 · February 2014

Yum cupcakes! I'm not due for another two weeks, but it sounds like those two weeks (or however long he stays in) are going to be quite the party. I'm getting the "you're still here" comments at work (no shit! I am?!) and my hips huuuuuuurt from sleeping on my side. And my skin is stretching and it hurts. And I'm waddling everywhere and my back hurts. Etc etc. Meh.

cauliflowereyes · February 2014

I'm not overdue for a few more days, but I just got back from the doc's and this kid is HELLA low in the ol' pelvis, and rings in at an estimated 8 pounds at least - this bun is BAKED! I'm talking golden brown crust, dip a toothpick in and it comes out clean, kitchen smells great, baked.

I know baby will decide when the right time is, and I can't go all control-freak on nature, but between my hips threatening to give their notice, being literally unable to waddle out to do the simplest errands, and one Facebook dingus comparing me to whales she's seen, I'm pretty donezo.

Plus I wanna kiss his widdle face.

HummingbirdMama · February 2014

Overdue and ready? Yes. Miserable? No... I'm actually really grateful to have a few girlfriends who have gone through this part and have been incredibly supportive, reminding me how magical this whole experience is. I try to remember that all of the phone calls and texts are coming from a place of love and excitement within the community we're a part of; they are not intended to stress me out. Baby will make her debut when she's ready. In the meantime, though I am clumsy as hell, a little bored, and waddling something ridiculous, I am trying to cherish these last days of feeling my little girl full of life inside me. I'd rather her take her time than have arrived super early or with complications!

vanillalatte89 · February 2014

I am not due til the 20th but I haven't even had braxton hicks contractions so I am starting to feel like I am going to be late.

gateship · February 2014

My DD is today and I had my appointment with my midwife and nothing has changed cervix wise. ARGH! I am supposed to start taking evening primrose oil everyday and I am now scheduled for a NST and U/S next week. I know that I am not "overdue" yet but as of tomorrow I will be. I am SO done. I am tired of not being able to get out of bed without rolling around first, tired of contractions, tired of people saying- "oh, the baby is still in there?" No, I just choose to waddle around and wear a fake belly?! Seriously?

I am doing my best to treasure the last little bit before LO comes out. To love my belly and how she moves in it but I will treasure her even more when she is on the outside.

Jules5611 · February 2014

I am due today and have been over it for quite sometime now. I am super cranky and actually consider myself a danger to society at this point. I stopped responding to texts messages regarding if I am in labor. I feel like I could TP the next person that dare says "you're still pregnant", or "how are you feeling?" My hands are cracked and bleeding from all my nesting and constant hand washing. My poor husband told the Dr. he can't wait to have his wife back instead of this monster I have become. I have been having contractions for weeks but they are not consistent. Hoping my LO comes out sooner than later. I wasn't this uncomfortable/ bitchy when I was pregnant with my son...what gives. Good luck ladies

mab18 · February 2014

Regarding the texts, I have people texting me in the middle of the night asking how I'm feeling. WTF people? Why do you think I want to be answering that question at 12:53? I don't! Leave me alone. And why are you up?

Also, you know how the Bump gives you a new article weekly? Well, now that my pregnancy countdown is over, the first article was "how do you know you're ready for baby #2." I almost cried...because I was laughing so hard at the ridiculous thought of wanting to be pregnant for another 9 months! Dreadful thought at the moment!!!

BB0214 · February 2014

Over it too! More than anything, I'm over going to work! It's been hard to make myself care about my job because that's not where my focus is.
Since I'm not planning on coming back, and I'm so ready to be done, everyday I don't go into labor feels like torture.
The stupid comments people make don't make things any easier.

snowwhite1979 · February 2014

I was due yesterday, and was convinced this whole pregnancy that I was having this baby early. He is bigger than his sister (she was 8.5 lbs), and possibly breech. With windchill it is -40 C/F here this week and we are at least 20 minutes from the hospital (and the parking lithos a good 20 minute walk from L &D). My doctor is in Hawaii and I hate her, mainly because I am not in Hawaii as well.

My husband is home and under foot, and we both keep getting helpful texts and emails asking if baby is here. I am on my last Zantac and can't feel my fingers on my right hand thanks to edema and carpal tunnel. My cat threw up randomly this morning. DD has a bunch of school and friend commitments this weekend and next week and I just want to know where I am at so we can deal (or grandma can deal) with those. And I really, really wanted to have this baby before Friday so I won't miss anybody the Olympics, but I don't think that's happening.

Same as everyone on here really, but still completely over it! I am convinced he is staying in due to weather.

courtls22 · February 2014

My due date was Sunday. I've had somebody here fixing parts on my furnace 3 days this week. I had a non-stress test today and all was well but on our way there, our 2012 car started acting funny. Something is messed up with the computer in it and is making the engine run like shit. I officially won't get to have my regular OB as he is going to be on a plane to Africa early tomorrow morning AND my DH got mandatoried for overtime this weekend. I want to meet my baby and have things just work out, damn it!

jpoindahouse · February 2014

Reviving this thread because I am just SO over it tonight. I'm just exhausted, really emotional and stabby. EDD is on Wednesday, but I honestly don't see me going into labor any time soon. Without going into the gross and boring details, I just have not had any of the "signs." So here I am....waiting, tired, emotional, FAT and exhausted. Any advice or input or anything is welcome, but I mostly just wanted to vent. OK....vent over.

gateship · February 2014

@jpoindahouse I totally understand. Sometimes venting is all that is needed just to make it through the day (or hour or minute) and not go completely crazy. I can't say it gets better, I am now 5 days overdue (well, within an hour I will be 5 days overdue) and I have started begging LO to just come out already. However, not to get into the gross details either, I have started to get more and more signs- so I bet soon you will too! I am not sure those signs mean anything at this point but I am hoping and praying each day/night that they do. Plus, as I am sure sooo many people have already told you (and keep telling me) that things can happen very quickly. I wish I could give you some magical advice (if you happen to find out some let me know!) but just know that you are not alone in how you are feeling. Big hugs!
