1) How many days overdue are you? 4

2) Symptoms/How are you feeling? Overall I feel pretty good. I think I finally lost some of my mucus plug on Saturday and Sunday.

3) Appointments? Tomorrow where we will likely schedule an induction date.

4) Doing anything to induce labor? A lot of walking, bouncing on a birthing ball, we DTD last night, eating pineapple today, trying almost anything at this point.

5) GTKY: What are you most looking forward to doing after LO gets here that you couldn't or haven't been able to do while pregnant? I can't wait to have a glass of wine or other fruity cocktail. I also can't wait to bend over to either pick something up off the floor or put on shoes without it hurting.

1) How many days overdue are you? 7
2) Symptoms/How are you feeling? Contractions last night and losing lots of bits of my mucus plug. I'm trying to be optimistic today, but I've felt all this before and it's led to nothing.
3) Appointments? Just the induction on Wednesday now.
4) Doing anything to induce labor? DH and I DTD last night, which seems to always start the contractions, but my body can't seem to keep them up for longer than a few hours.
5) GTKY: What are you most looking forward to doing after LO gets here that you couldn't or haven't been able to do while pregnant? I'm pretty simple: I'm looking forward to leaving the bathroom after going pee feeling like I actually emptied my bladder.

Also, that skin-to-skin thing sounds awesome.

KimSwan · June 2014

1) How many days overdue are you?
12

2) Symptoms/How are you feeling?
Everything hurts. I can barely get around the house, and I get up to pee every hour during the night. Heartburn still sucks too. I feel like shit physically and mentally.

3) Appointments?
Membrane Sweep today and induction Wednesday night/Thursday

4) Doing anything to induce labor?
Eggplant parm, borage oil, pineapple, and everything else.

5) GTKY: What are you most looking forward to doing after LO gets here that you couldn't or haven't been able to do while pregnant?
I can't wait to hold her, touch her fingers and toes, give her kisses, and let DH hold her. I've been carrying her long enough! lol. I also want a giant turkey sandwich, a cold beer and the ability to roll over in bed without pain.

Edit: thinking of you ladies being induced today! Can't wait to see pics of your LOs!

Well, today is my due date, so technically not over due yet. However, I'm struggling with the thought that I was put on mod-bed rest at 30 weeks, told by two diff OBs that baby would be early regardless of the bed rest and now I'm sitting here very pregnant and no real signs she's making an appearance any time soon... 1) How many days overdue are you? Due today 2) Symptoms/How are you feeling? Diarrhea & ankles/feet are the size of my knees 3) Appointments? Thursday then induction on the 29th if no bby before hand 4) Doing anything to induce labor? Walking a lot and trying to keep as active as possible otherwise 5) GTKY: What are you most looking forward to doing after LO gets here that you couldn't or haven't been able to do while pregnant? Have a beer with DH on a patio in public!! Also cuddling with DH, it's been so awkward/uncomfy this last month I don't even try anymore.

cinnamonsmiles · June 2014

1) How many days overdue are you? 3 days
2) Symptoms/How are you feeling? Feeling just dandy like nothing is going to happen. After what I thought was a bloody show last weekend there hasn't been any more bloody mucous until this morning, but I figure that's from DTD with DH yesterday as nothing else is going on.
3) Appointments? Fri I have a NST and US if he isn't here by then.
4) Doing anything to induce labor? DTD, walking, RRL tea. Going to try squats and lunges today.
5) GTKY: What are you most looking forward to doing after LO gets here that you couldn't or haven't been able to do while pregnant? Eat sushi and drink alcohol. I didn't really ever do either very often before, but now that it's been taken away....I had some sips of DHs beer last night and wanted the whole thing

Edit because mobile hates formatting...

1. Day 4 overdue
2. Had pretty regular (10-11min. Apart) contractions all night, diarrhea this am. Contractions have slowed so now I'm just tired and grouchy.
3. Last appt was Friday, swept membranes and I had some mucous and bleeding through Saturday from that.
4. We DTD last night, bouncing on the ball, squatting, pineapple, raspberry leaf tea....
5. I want to see what my baby looks like, enjoy one of the huckleberry cream ales my hubby has been saving for me. I also want to be able to tie my shoes and put my socks/pants/panties on without such a struggle.

Good luck ladies! We are so very close to the end. Eyes in the prize,right?!?

KimSwan · June 2014

@emotionlotion‌ I had the same problem with gas pain/contraction confusion! So glad I'm not alone.

texasmama2014 · June 2014

I guess I can play now... :P

1) How many days overdue are you? 1
2) Symptoms/How are you feeling? Feeling almost totally normal. Having cramps and losing mucus, I had some killer heartburn yesterday and I'm not sure why, but otherwise nothing. Still at work!
3) Appointments? Wednesday- NST.
4) Doing anything to induce labor? All the things. Running, walking, swimming, jumping up and down in the water, squats, pineapple, spicy food, taking stairs, praying, DTD, driving on bumpy roads... I draw the line at castor oil, and I live in a tiny town so RRLT is not an option unless I wanted to drive an hour or so.
5) GTKY: What are you most looking forward to doing after LO gets here that you couldn't or haven't been able to do while pregnant? Sleeping on my belly, holding baby in my arms instead of my uterus, seeing my husband be a daddy, eating food without thinking about if I'm "allowed", being able to see my feet, not having strangers up in my business about what I'm having and when I'm due...

MollySm · June 2014

1) How many days overdue are you? 3 days
2) Symptoms/How are you feeling? I was woken by painful contractions every 3 minutes at midnight last night. They of course petered out by 4 am. Back to work for me...
3) Appointments? I had one last Friday (2 cm, 10% effaced) and will have another this Friday.
4) Doing anything to induce labor? Sex, walks, pineapple....
5) GTKY: What are you most looking forward to doing after LO gets here that you couldn't or haven't been able to do while pregnant? Just not wondering anymore when she'll come!

MorganW24 · June 2014

1) 5 days overdue

2) Absolutley no signs of baby making an appearance anytime soon. Feeling pretty good other than the normal complaints: up to pee all night, sore and uncomfortable, anxious to meet this baby!

3)We have a NST scheduled for Wednesday afternoon. We are planning a homebirth with a midwife so we are limited in terms of an induction. May try a membrane sweep to help things along.

4) Pretty much given up trying to get labor to start. It's obvious little one isn't going anywhere until he/she is good and ready.

5) Can't wait to get those baby snuggles!! Also looking forward to not peeing every 15 min, rolling over without feeling like a beached whale, snuggling with hubby without the belly in the way!

Hang in there ladies!! They have to come out eventually right....??

amwangel · June 2014

So glad to have somewhere to share this! I feel like everyone I know IRL who was due with me has had their baby!

1) How many days overdue are you? 3 days

2) Symptoms/How are you feeling? I had so many contractions yesterday & last night and lost my mucus plug - I was so SURE it was it. I even cried kissing my son goodnight because I was so sad about it not just being the two of us anymore. Of course they stopped overnight. I am so mentally exhausted by the back and forth! Also, starting to get really anxious about the whole induction thing.

3) Appointments? I have an appointment at 9:45 am tomorrow morning. She wants to schedule me for an induction Friday and I need to decide whether or not I am willing to. (I want to avoid induction, but my husband starts a new job with no leave next Tuesday. Ugh.)
4) Doing anything to induce labor? Acupressure and some short walks, but I mostly feel like when he's ready, he'll come.
5) GTKY: What are you most looking forward to doing after LO gets here that you couldn't or haven't been able to do while pregnant? Bend over! Roll over! Lay on my stomach! Oh, the luxuries.

texasmama2014 · June 2014

I'm definitely feeling all you ladies on the face to face cuddling with DH. I make him spoon me from behind and rub the belly. Who knew how much a bump could be in the way of normal everyday activities!?

mfilosi · June 2014

Just stopping in to say good luck to all the over due mommas, try not to get too frustrated it's so worth it once you get to hold your little one!

theamandapanda · June 2014

1) How many days overdue are you? Just 1 day
2) Symptoms/How are you feeling? I'm feeling pretty good. Enjoyed my first day of maternity leave hanging with DS. I'm exhausted but it was nice to have a day just me & him
3) Appointments? If I make it to my Thursday appointment, we'll schedule an induction
4) Doing anything to induce labor? Just DTD and went for a long walk today. Not much else. She'll come when she's ready
5) GTKY: What are you most looking forward to doing after LO gets here that you couldn't or haven't been able to do while pregnant? I can't wait to see DS hold his baby sister. And I really want an icy cold beer!

Hang in there fellow over due bumpies! xoxo
