5cm dilated, 100% effaced , head down

Mamanajera2 · February 2014

I'm 37 weeks and 2 days. I'm so ready to have my baby girl but know I have to wait until shes ready . I know no one really knows when shes coming but what can I do to not be so anxious of having her ? This is my second so they say they come faster . But im so anxious for her to be here im trying hard not to get her out sooner.

Honestly, spend time relaxing/doing what you love etc. Just keep on keepin' on. There's not much you can do really. Babies do what babies do. My OB told me when babies arrive on their own will after 36 weeks it's a lot less worrisome/complicated than if it's more "forced." That's why he still contends anything between 36-42 weeks is "normal."

If it makes you feel better I'm 38 weeks and have been dialated at 4 since 36. I'm still here. So it doesn't mean much. I'm also on my 3rd kid and a week from my due date and I don't feel like this one is appearing any sooner than the rest.

Just rest up, make sure the house is clean and if you can, have food in the freezer. With my first, my water broke at 35 weeks and my second I went into labor at 39 weeks, it was strange going that much longer and not having any clue when he'd come.

Thanks ladies for the advice ! I tired posting this on the other group and worded it wrong and ladies of course couldn't wait for me to read with out having a smart ass remark .

I just read that other thread. Wow. Let's imagine that you had been upset in real life and came to a group of other pregnant women for advice. Since it's real life, maybe you were trailing off and hard to understand instead of having spelling and phrasing issues. If people in real life had reacted the way your birth month group had, they would have yelled at you, thrown you to the ground, and probably all started kicking you.

Sorry that happened. People can be really mean under the cloak of the Internet.

For the record, I think I'd feel just like you in your situation. I'd probably try to distract myself and if I couldn't stand it anymore I'd just go get checked again. No harm in that.

It looks like you went BSC in that other thread. Perhaps learn to type coherently and this can be avoided in the future.

Your post wasn't just "worded wrong". It was flat out incoherent.

Wow, sneaky way to try and slam your birth month board. Seriously, OP, your original post was unreadable.

So everyone on the other thread saying she was being unclear and that they didn't understand and that she needed to clarify (while sharing important advice like finding out why she wasn't sent to L&D and asking about due dates) is malicious? And like yelling at someone and throwing her to the ground and kicking her?

No. Until she started flipping out and yelling, people were just saying they didn't understand and asking questions. There was nothing malicious or mean or nasty. Then she flipped her shit and yelled about how it made perfect sense. That's when people broke out the snark.

If you're unclear, people are going to clarify. That's not mean. I don't know what world some of you live in, but where I live, asking clarifying questions is part of communicating.

Wolf-packing is malicious. There, one sentence to describe both the behavior above and in the other thread. You needed several paragraphs to make your case. Says to me that you're trying way too hard to convince everyone you're not a total C-U-Next-Tuesday.

Still not convinced.

I don't really care if you think I'm a cunt (see? You can use big girl words on this site).

Wolf packing? I don't think you get how message boards work. Someone posts. Someone responds. Unlike a live conversation there's no rule that says you need to wait for an answer from the first person before another person asks a question or makes a statement.

And again... People saying it's unclear isn't mean. Even multiple people saying it's unclear isn't mean. Or wolf-packing".

Why so defensive? Could it be that you were called out? The horror!

Please, educate me some more on how message boards work because my life is that empty. All I've been dying to know is how these danged message boards work!

Why don't you make a list? Hey, write a book! No doubt you've got the time. I mean, you literally tracked down this girl's new post because you were just that eager to follow her grammar mistakes. Tell me, did the plot thicken?! Oh boy, oh boy!

I'm not sure where you read defensiveness in my post. I honestly do not care if you think I'm a cunt or wolf-packing or whatever. As for tracking down... If it makes you feel special to think so, go ahead. Or it could be that I post on third tri since I'm in the third trimester.

I think you may be more worked up about the "maliciousness" directed at the OP than she is.
