Still Overdue And Super Angry

tamarar5 · August 2014

Saw the Dr today and she said baby was low enough to engage, but since she's facing the wrong way, she isn't. She just scheduled another u/s and appt for Monday and said she'd "think" about an induction next week.

I don't care anymore! I hurt so freaking badly. Gtfo baby!!!!

I feel so bad every time I see a post from you that doesn't involve you being in labor.

My first was sunny side up and making no progress to come out on his own. I really hope something happens for you soon because it sucks so badly.

MereDe3 · August 2014

:-( I'm still overdue too, but thankfully am headed in for an induction tomorrow at 6 am! I was so depressed yesterday but after my dr appt yesterday afternoon,I managed to accept that this baby isnt coming on her own anytime soon and Friday is the day. Last night and this morning have been surprisingly stress free. I hope things change for you soon!!

I'm sorry! I'm full of all sorts of anger and I'm not even overdue yet.... I can only imagine your frustration!!!

Hang in there!!!!

I know how u feel! It sucks - hang in there!

I'm sorry ladies - I'm due tomorrow, so I can somewhat empathize. This is baby # 3 and my other two arrives early, without issues. I don't want to be medically induced, so I've tried acupuncture, acupressure, herbs, sex, you name it! Nothing. I've had contractions (pretty painful) on and off for hours at a time that never progressed. At this point, I can't stand anyone around me and am having issues tolerating people. I keep reminding myself that it's not baby's fault, but I can't help but be annoyed with her!

@helloDmichelle are you and I the same person??? Seriously, this is me. 3rd baby thing makes it feel even more frustrating and like more of an issue that my baby/body isn't cooperating It's got me in a pretty angry place.

Baby #3 here too, breaking all previous habits.

don't they know what babies are supposed to come ON or BEFORE their due date, and in fast ladies by the time we get this many kids? I mean, with other children at home, ain't no one hour time for 6 weeks of useless contractions.

(Kidding... Mostly)

MereDe3 · August 2014

Haha, what is the dealio here, we are all on baby #3 and overdue! I think thats why it's getting to me more since 1&2 seemed to have no issues coming out when they were "supposed" to.

shevaCC · August 2014

I'm 5 days overdue here. Had an appointment this morning and they scheduled my induction for 42 weeks (8/23). At least there's an end? Though that seems like an eternity from now.

Rosebean · August 2014

Hang in there mama... You're down to days now, not weeks! Baby will be here in a blink. Big hugs.

basketballbelly · August 2014

Hang in there! Sending you positive labour vibes!

Venus04 · August 2014

*Sigh* After what I thought was "it" yesterday, I'm officially joining the overdue crowd. Though I think "overdue" is a bad term. It's like this...

Doc - "Well, you're officially overdue."

Me: "Oh, I'm overdue? As in, I messed up here? False. How about you predicted her arrival incorrectly. And you call yourself a doctor."

tamarar5 · August 2014

Lol, blaming the Dr would be awesome. But unfortunately, I know when I got pg. I was tracking and there really was only one possibility. DH was GONE after.

shevaCC · August 2014

I'm blaming this baby, personally. You've had your 40 weeks, freeloader!

helloDmichelle · August 2014

To my fellow overdue preggos on baby #3 ... I'm really beginning to think that the reason this baby has decided to "squat" is because I can't relax. My doc urged me to slow down, but who am I kidding?!? I can't relax to save my life. My hubby is wonderful, but not quite mom. Our daughters are 17 and 10...so this little addition has been an interestingly different experience; 17 year old has been a bit weirded out abt my having a baby and in her own world (she just started driving and that a whole other type of worry) and our 10 year old has regressed a bit and begun acting like a baby (which is just awesome). I recently took maternity leave (after working f/t until 38 weeks) and still can't relax. I'm convinced that perhaps my body just doesn't want to let this baby leave!!

Sorry for the rant ... Thx for your support. Hang in there!!!

My 16 year old son is pretty unhappy that mom's pregnant. Doubly so since until just 3 years ago, it was just the two of us (for the most part), and now he's going to have to share.

Of course, he also told me that he thinks ALL babies are ugly and look like potatoes. Sooooo, I guess as long as he doesn't nuke the baby and smother her in sour cream, chives and bacon, we're good.

The 12 year old is excited (he says); but, no lies, it freaks me out when he says he can't wait to push the stroller, then he immediately starts popping wheelies with it. I'm radiating a calm exterior, while internally I'm screaming "LIKE HELL YOU DON'T POP WHEELIES WITH BABIES NOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!"

He also claims he'll help change diapers. Not holding my breath; the kid won't even scrape the cat's litter box.

Add to my freak-outs; DH is willing to entrust child care to our two male knuckleheaded boys. I'd trust the 16 year old as he's responsible. But the 12 year old? Scatterbrained and lazy. Soooooo...no. I'd rather just skip a nice meal at a restaurant than trust our two goobers.

40+1 here and so ready to be done. DD was born 40+3 so I expected to go over but it still sucks. I quit answering texts and phone call weeks ago.
Plus, I have been on bed rest since June with a soon to be one year old who just learnt to walk. Rest and relaxation is not happening in this house.

Yep, yep, yep. My MIL texts me every single GD day.

IGNORE.

basketballbelly · August 2014

40 + 1 here too - I'm officially part of the 'overdue' club. Have not had any signs of impending labour either...

tamarar5 · August 2014

At 40+5 with still no signs... and if you read my relatives post, you know I'm so over people "checking" into whether baby had come yet.

laurenita8 · August 2014

40 today. Wish people would stop calling and texting and stop bugging me.
