40 weeks today..

in 3rd Trimester
No contractions but I've been seeing some pink-ish discharge after I pee once in awhile. Hoping that's a sign. I had my obs appt today, she booked an induction assessment in a weeks time to have an examination and go from there. I'm really hoping I go on my own. Ugh, this waiting game sucks!!

    It does suck!! I got to 40 weeks on Monday and I'm still sitting here pregnant! I had an appointment on Wednesday and she scheduled an induction starting Sunday night... I was also REALLY hoping to go naturally but so far, no such luck. I've been stuck at 2 cm for 3 weeks so it's a little discouraging :-( obviously I wouldn't stay that way forever but I really wanted to move along a little quicker! He's my first so I have no other frame of reference for how this is supposed to go. Anyway good luck... I hope you go into labor soon and before an induction!

    I know the feeling I will be 40 weeks on Sunday and was actually told by my doc yesterday that I was on early stage labor. Then contractions stopped at 8:00 last night and still haven't returned. I have an appt for an NST on Thursday and based on that would likely be looking at induction on the 16th. I'm so hoping something happens before then but I'm really not feeling anything right now so who knows. It sucks to go from thinking I'm about to meet my LO to trying to prepare to wait over another week. I'm so bummed.

    Ugh, today has been tough mentally. I just want to cry all day :( my poor husband, he could breath to loud and I'd snap at him. I feel horrible feeling this way. I just want to meet my son!! The more I wait the more frustrated I get. And then I go on a googling spree looking at risks of going past 40 weeks and I just scare myself. I know I shouldn't be doing this but I do. And to top it all off I've been without any income for myself for the past 6 weeks. I'm still waiting on my sick leave benefits to kick in but there is a problem with my application :/ sorry I just to vent somewhere :( Hoping us ladies that are over due soon go into labour !! Fingers crossed!!!

    I'm sorry you're having a rough time :-( I'm really hoping you go into labor ASAP! It can be sooooo frustrating just waiting around. I've tried red raspberry leaf tea, walking everywhere, the ball, etc... All of it in hopes to kick start any progression but I'm being induced tonight and I'm sooooo nervous. Anyway again, good luck and try to relax :-)
