Getting frustrated and impatient.........

jay3907 · May 2014

I am now currently 41 weeks and 1 day pregnant. I had a membrane sweep 3 days ago. I had some contractions that same day but nothing since, until today. I've had a few mild ones here and there today but still nothing that is suggesting he is going to come anytime soon. I am really trying not to get induced but it's not looking good. I just want him to come out already!!!!

I understand your frustration... I went 8 days overdue with my first. He finally came on his own and it was a quick labor. Baby will br here soon!

amberlowe08 · May 2014

Awe so sorry! I'm 38 weeks and 5 days and I'm already pacing and climbing walls. I can't imagine what you're feeling. Has your doctor talked induction yet? At 42 weeks they induce where I go. I know all OBs are different though. Here's to hoping it happens soon for you!

39 weeks tomorrow & struggling with patience!! I feel ya! Super PROPS cuz ur 2 weeks past me!

Struggling too, but only 39+3 here. I had my membranes swept on Friday and had sex Friday and Saturday. No dice. Mild contractions and cramping can suck it.

Same here. I'm 40+5 and was really hoping to have him out by Mother's Day! Keeping fingers crossed I don't to be induced. The wait is torturous

40w3d here and am feeling you--though by 41w1d I think I'd be having a full-blown meltdown. After all, I cried yesterday about not having an outside baby yet and get stabby whenever I see someone I used to babysit have her outside baby (she was due 3 days before me).

39+4 and I'm ready to go mental!!! Been out on maternity leave since last Friday....now I'm wishing I'd stayed an extra week. More $$ in my pocket.

jay3907 · May 2014

I've also been on maternity leave since last Friday, kinda wishing I would have stayed also. I am so bored. My doctor asked me about induction this past Thursday but I opted to wait it out because I am eligible for a VBAC and an induction will seriously decrease my chances of having a successful VBAC. I've been having contractions throughout the night and already have a non-stress test scheduled for 2pm today. I called the on call mid-wife she told me to come get checked after my NST. I really hope today is the day!!!! Fingers crossed.

My due date is today, and over this weekend, I hit the physically done point. DD was born by this point, so I had it in my head I'd never see my actual due date without a baby. The cramps and BH I've had since Friday aren't helping anything either.

jsaffer01 · May 2014

I'm 39w5d and this baby isn't doing much, except making itself way more comfortable up inside me... A girl MH works with is due 2 days after me and she went into L&D today, so something most likely is happening with her. I just want this baby out, I'm just so uncomfortable. I'm also miserable...

Hallil · May 2014

I am 40+3 and no signs of much. I keep reminding myself that with DD I had nothing, then woke up in labor at 4 am, baby at 1 pm that day. That was also at 40+5 so I anticipate if I don't have a baby by then, I'll be getting pretty antsy. I'm all for letting baby come when ready, I just hate not knowing WHEN that's going to be. Even if it was going to be 42 w, I wouldn't care so much if I just knew!

Lild09 · May 2014

40+5 today...
Have had cramping and pressure for over 2 weeks and some bloody discharge for a few days last week and when I was checked just soft and nor dilated at all so needless to say even though I've had other symptoms I'm not hopeful in anyway that I'm dilated. Going in on Wednesday at 41 w...stress test Friday if nothing and possible induction then on Tuesday at 41+6

There goes my whole wanting a natural non medicated birth if possible. Needless to say I've cried more than once but there's nothing I can do and baby boy is hanging out for a reason!

dogsombrero · May 2014

I'm 40+2 and have been dealing with minor contractions since my first membrane sweep at 39+3. It sucks waiting on a kid that seems pretty content where they are. I hope you go soon.

Alexinav · May 2014

@jay3907‌ wow I bow down to you 41.1 weeks and your still hoping to go with out and induction!! I'm not that strong. I am 39 weeks today and I'm kinda hoping my dr will offer induction I feel like a total wimp! You have ever right to feel frustrated! I hope it's not much longer and you get to go into labor soon on your own:) with DS I didn't get any contractions until it was really time I read how all you ladies are getting BHs and mild irregular contractions here and there and I think how frustration I get cramping this time around but no contractions. Good luck!! Fx You go into labor tonight!;)

This is exactly how I feel. It's not so much that I want baby out now. It's that baby could come tomorrow, he could come 3 weeks from now or anytime in between and it's making me crazy!

This is me. Due date is today and I've been getting contractions that go away as soon as they get close together since Friday as well. So frustrating!

MrsHussey11 · May 2014

I've always been a planner and before our first sonogram they estimated our due date as may 8 and ever since thin I had my hear set on an outside baby by Mother's Day. Even though they later moved the due date to May 18 they also measured little Jimmy 2 weeks ago and he was already measuring at 40 weeks. So I was certain he'd be early. Meanwhile every time I have a sharp intake of breath for whatever kick, contraction or minor pain my husband asks "Is it time? Did your water break?" And I keep thinking I wish... He however is pulling for one more week so he can have lesson plans ready and clean the house and now the yard one more time... I'm like, fine you carry him and I'll clean the house and ride in the lawn mower... LOL. He is a good man to do so much of the work while I'm pregnant though

This baby does not seem to be going anywhere, but I'm only 38+3. I wish I was already off from work but it sounds like hanging out at home can make the waiting feel worse. While I probably will not have the birth I wanted due to GD/induction, there is a silver lining: I know for sure labor will begin by May 23 or 24. So I keep that in my head as the end date and it seems to help.

jay3907 · May 2014

ok went to my non-stress test today. My contractions were 7 minutes apart and lasting about 30 seconds. I went up to L&D to get checked, I'm still at 1.5 cm and 50%. Ugh!!!!!!!! This sucks!!! I was seriously hoping they'd just keep me but they sent me home instead.

jay3907 · May 2014

I went to L&D today to visit with my doctor. He said I had made no change and all the beds were full so there was no reason to keep me. So once again I got sent home.

( He scheduled me for another NST tomorrow and a visit with him on Thursday. H e said if nothing happens by then either an induction or c-section will be scheduled for Friday. Currently I am 41+3 days and miserable. Sleeping has become a joke. I'm so uncomfortable. I wanted to avoid a c-section but at this point I just want this kid out of me!!!!!

I'm only 38-4 today and am getting so impatient even though I've no right to be yet. One of my colleagues felt compelled to tell me yesterday that all three of her children were born past 40-5, so really I should just add a week to LO's due date. Gah!

At least I'm still at work and have plenty to do workwise in the next couple days before I'm out on leave. But I have it in my head that she'll be here by the end of the weekend. Even though I know she'll come when she comes, and I'm probably setting myself up for disappointment next week.
