Roll call for the battle to last one standing! Who's Still With Me??

Haha! It's the end of the month, my due date and I'm still pregnant & getting ready to go to work. Baby boy seems mighty comfy in there! I'm hoping for Friday....but how about the rest of you ladies who still have inside babies? Doing ok? Hang in there!

Re: Roll call for the battle to last one standing! Who's Still With Me??

  • I'm due today. Was in the hospital last night for contractions every 4 minutes but no progress in dilationpast 1cm. Headed back soon. I have had 24 hours of consistent contractions as of six this morning. I better be at least a 3 when I get there.

  • Are you still working @AprilMay9‌?
  • I was due on the 28th. NST and regular appointment today...been having menstrual like cramps since yesterday. No work as of last saturday....they gave me an extra week! :-) now we're just waiting on the little nugget.
  • 40+3 and counting. I had a stretch and sweep yesterday. 2cm dilated, 50% effaced. It definitely got things going but I stalled in the afternoon. Cramping a bit this morning. Fingers crossed.
  • Due date was yesterday (4/29) and nothing. Closed up tight as of last week. Have an NST and regular appointment later on this morning.

  • I was due the 23rd.  When I went to my appointment last week, she said I was 1 cm/a fingertip, moderately soft, and maybe 50%, but cervix was still posterior.  The midwife did a membrane sweep  I'm 41 weeks today and have an US this afternoon to check fluid levels, a NST to make sure she's ok, and a regular check up.  I really thought she'd be born this month, but it's looking less and less likely.  I just want to avoid a medical induction and interventions as much as possible.

    I'm still here too :( Was due 4/28 but baby girl is staying put so far - it's looking like she wants to be a May baby instead...
    I was dilated to 2, 70% effaced as of Friday. OB swept my membranes but it didn't start anything :( I'm having the odd contraction here and there but nothing consistent. C'mon baby!

    Yep! Here with you ladies on my due date. At a 4/5, 80% effaced but nothing but back cramps, sore body and just one grumpy mamma to be.
  • Still here! 40+3. 

    Props to you who are still working! I'm done as of last week and it's been so nice to just relax.

  • Still here! Still pregnant! Today is my due date but CS has been scheduled since around 26 weeks, (due to a blood disorder) for 5/2. I am calm, ready, but not really having any kind of impatient feelings, I am actually enjoying this quiet time of reflection. We have it narrowed down from a list of 10 to a list of now only TWO names! I am excited to finally meet our little boy!
  • Still here, 41+1. We were supposed to get induced yesterday, but got bumped because the hospital was over crowded. Rescheduled for tomorrow morning, so we'll see. I never thought with an April 22nd due date that we'd have a May baby!

    Yup! Hour commute each way in dress clothes and heels. Enough already.
    Wow! I am so impressed. I'm working from home and find that challenging. Amazing-don't work too hard!
  • EDD 4/29 (yesterday) Went to the doc this morning... absolutely NOTHING is happening. Oh joy... ultrasound scheduled for Monday. Looks like I will definitely have a may baby on my hands.

  • I am "loving" all of your posts out of solidarity! Not because I'm wishing any of you continued discomfort or issues!
  • 40w5d here...being induced Friday if he doesn't come before then. But looks like I have a May baby on my hands too!
  • My due date is today, but this baby boy is content where he is. If he doesn't come on his own, I'll be induced on Tuesday. Looks like he'll be a May baby.
  • Still pregnant!
  • I'm getting so irritated with all the calls and texts. Have you had the baby yet? Yes, MIL, I went into labor and had the baby without telling you. Really?!?
    This. I never thought I could get so annoyed with my friends/family, who I know are just genuinely excited for me, but I am getting really fed up with the 5 texts/calls I day I get that ask how I'm feeling.  A big part of me whats to say-- "If I'd had the baby, you'd know. I'm not going to keep it a secret!"

    Anyway.

    I am 40w 2d today and actually not in a rush. At this point, I would rather the baby came after the weekend so we could have a few more days to get things done. We just started the nursery this week :-/ Induction is set for Thursday the 8th.
  • @ColleenSwerb‌ yay!! Good luck :)

    Still pregnant. Next appt tomorrow.

  • Still here EDD was the 23rd. He's very happy and content in there lol :)
  • Still pregnant. Apt tomorrow...praying for progress!!!!!!!
  • Say a prayer for me to go tomorrow, please! It's my dad's birthday and I would love to deliver his first grandson on his birthday!!
  • Still waiting. Was due on the 27th. I had my 2nd stretch and sweep yesterday... I feel like things are happening just really, really slowly.
  • Guys, I'm getting a touch discouraged. It's not looking good for me to have this baby today and at his growth ultrasound a few minutes ago they estimated him at 8.14. BABY, GET OUT!!!
  • LaNorteLaNorte member
    @rockstarlaw‌ Don't be discouraged! You're only 2 days past your due date, right? I understand the frustration - I am 10 days over, this is my third time in the hospital trying to get induced, and I'm starting to just ugly cry 24 hours a day.

  • @rockstarlaw hang in there! I've always heard that growth ultrasounds are notoriously inaccurate, so don't let that scare you. I know you were hoping to have him today- FX, it could still happen!

    Emma Noelle, 5/8/14
  • @LaNorte So sorry to hear that you are still waiting! After your post the other day I was really hoping that you had met your LO already! Hoping this time works for you!

  • Hey ladies... No progress on this end either. I woke up today feeling soo sick and was like, "yes!! Maybe I am about to be in labor!" No. Went to dr. Still at a tight 3cm (which I am thankful I do have some progress) but the dr was super surprised that there was no progress after my weekend of spotting, contracting, etc. NST scheduled for Monday. Stay strong everyone :) our babies will be here soon!

  • Got on the scale today and it completely malfunctioned and gave me a few lbs less than my prebirth weight. Can I take that as a sign that he's coming out? Lol
  • I day post 2nd s and s. still waiting. I've spent about 5 hours walking over the past 2 days. I feel like he is never coming out.
  • rtv3rtv3 member
    I know how you feel @allisshiney - this waiting thing sucks! I think I've walked more this past week then I did my whole pregnancy!
    Just had my dr apt and I'm up to a stretchy 3 but no real progress. He swept my membranes again and scheduled an NST for Wednesday. Come on, baby!

  • Well I don't know if anyone poped this weekend lol but I'm still here. EDD was the 23rd, so I'm officially 12 days past and will be 42 weeks tomorrow which is when my doctor will induce. Haven't had any progress yet but hopefully tomorrow it will happen. This will be my first induction try with this pregnancy hopefully I will get to have my baby boy in my arms by Wednesday :)
  • I am still here too! I have a scheduled induction on Wednesday. Appointment today showed the slightest amount of progress but still no dilation. Hoping that the meds just tell my body its go time and it does the rest. Hoping for no pitocin!
