Who else is 40+ weeks?

I know I'm only 2 days past so I'm being silly. Each day I go past I'm worried I will end up with another c-section. How are the rest of you coping?
Audrey is going to be a big sister!

  • I'm only 2 days past my due date and going crazy.
  • 40w3d. Still barely any BH. As of my appt. on thursday, cervix is softer but still not dilated (ugh!). I've been trying just about every remedy I can think of and still no success. Gonna try to give LO a little more time but if she doesn't come by Thursday, I will most likely be induced. Not excited about the possibility of being induced but my body doesn't seem to get the memo that it's about time for baby to come out!
  • I'm 40W3D and I've been 1cm for 2 weeks now not really dialating doctors are already talking about inducinging me if I don't give birth by the 20th of Nov. I've been feeling super uncomfortable and cramping here and there but nothing that screams LABOR .! I have an app. Tomorrow well see how that goes and what's going to happen .!
  • I was due Nov.7
  • I'm bumping this, need to hear from you ladies!! Doctor will induce the night of the 24th if no baby until then.

  • Also, ladies who originally posted on this - any advice for those of us still waiting?? :)

    And did any of you get NST's done between 40 and 41 weeks??

  • I'm annoyed that since today is my due date, my bump page shows today as my baby's birthday not my 40th week of pregnancy. Does anyone no how to change that??
  • Copy/paste from the Monday Random thread (41w2d today), I was having ~10 minutes apart contractions earlier today:

    Ugh, contractions continue but have slowed down. Just had my doc appt with NST & u/s, I'm 4cm & 80% effaced. Got membrane sweep done, hopefully that speeds things along. They had me schedule induction for Friday (41w6d).

    Damnit, I really thought I'd be in L&D by now today. :-/

  • I'm 40 weeks and 1 day today! Been having random contractions since Friday, but nothing serious. Boo!! What am I doing to cope? Going crazy :D
  • I'm 40w1d with my first. Running out of things to keep me busy, but trying to stay positive. Come on LO!!!

  • 41 weeks today and exam showed "barely" fingertip dilatation and 0% effacement. Pretty disheartening. Not to mention the fact that I've had zero signs of anything occurring; no MP, show, water breaking. Nothing. Nada. Zip. Zilch. I know it's pretty common for FTMs to go past their due date, but geez, this is getting frustrating.

    There's really nothing for me to do. Her room is ready. My bag is packed. I have a cleaning lady coming to do a deep clean on the house while we're in the hospital. All I can do is wait now. I completely understand cabin fever, even though I'm getting out daily. Good luck, mommies!

  • 40 weeks and 2 days here. Scheduled to be induced on Thursday. Still hoping to go on my own but my body isn't getting the memo either! Not terribly uncomfortable just the normal.
  • @kstirton I was one of the ladies that was ovedue! My doctor wouldn't let me go past 41 weeks so I was induced last sunday at 41 weeks and had DD at 41+1. 

    I didn't have an NST between 40 and 41 weeks. I got through the time by resigning myself that labor would begin no later than my induction date. My induction actually went very well and it was nice to arrive to the hospital in appointment fashion than speeding from 40 miles away while in serious pain. 
    Thank you so much! It was so awesome hearing a follow up from someone who posted earlier last week! It's hard to see the end of the road but at least I know that by this time next week I'll be in the hospital and on the way to meeting my baby girl!

    At this point everyone should just be glad I'm wearing a bra.
    No joke. Just the thought of showering every morning holds the possibility of turning me into a hermit.

  • Still waiting here. I will be 41 weeks tomorrow and no signs of baby coming either. My check today at the doctors showed no change since my last check a week ago. 1 cm and 50% effaced. My doctors office isn't talking about induction until my next visit on Friday and then they will probably induce me next week. I am a little nervous going over 41 weeks. Just hoping everything goes well and LO just needs a little more time.
  • 40 weeks today- not dilated at all. Baby is still very cozy in there. I've lost all my nesting energy lately and spend most of my day on the couch! Thinking about how I should be going for a walk... Or doing the laundry. But here I am.
  • 41+1 I am getting so big and so impatient. My stretch marks have taken flight and my weight is ridiculous even for being pregnant. I'm so ready to be done with this. I've been on leave from work for two weeks already, this is my third. I'm pretty bored and it's freezing outside but I try and force myself to go for a walk everyday.

  • Did lots of walking today and had tons of cramping. Feels like contractions to me but don't think they are painful enough or regular enough. 40+3 today. Dr appt tomorrow. Anyone else get horrible cramping if yoyu have the slightest urge to pee? Omg its been the worst! Also, tmi ... but when I've wiped I've had a little brown on the tp and in my panty liner, no mucous really though. Hope they are all good signs but I'm about ready to give up hope as these cramps never seem to lead to the real thing but are still so uncomfortable!! No fun :(

  • I'm 40+1 today.. Cramps last night and lower back pain. I hope this is leading somewhere soon! Fx that today is the day.

  • 40 + 2 hoping little girl decides to come soon.  Keep getting random contractions that go no where.   Waiting wouldn't be so hard if it wasn't for those.  I didn't have them with the boys I just all of a sudden went into labor.
  • 41 weeks 1 day today.....a little cramps this morning but not getting my hopes up. This baby is very content in there! Luckily she is still moving quite a bit which eases my fears.
  • I'm 40 weeks today so I thought I would stop by and say hi and join you ladies! My Mom was 2 weeks late exactly so I'm guessing my little one is going to wait awhile too. It's dark and cold and rainy where I am so now would be a good time for little one so I have something to snuggle and hibernate with. Hope all of you have a great day! Come on babies! It's go time!
  • 40 & 3 today. :)
    Me too...at least I'll be home tonight to watch Grey's Anatomy? Trying so hard with this glass half full thing.

  • I'm 41+ weeks at this point…. waiting, waiting. Scheduled to be induced 11/26..The very last day before my 42nd week. Praying to naturally go into labor. Impatient as I have been 2 cm / 50% effaced for weeks now.
