39 weeks...still no baby

palmbeachgirl2 · January 2009

Going for my appt. tomorrow so we'll see if I've dilated at all. Right now still just "waiting" and going a little stir crazy! LOL

Did any of you feel like you "knew" when labor was imminent? I mean, I feel like each day I still feel good so I keep telling myself, no it's not going to be today or atleast a few more days. But I don't really have anything to go by. I mean, did labor literally just START one minute to the next, or did you have kind of a feeling the day before that it was coming? ?

Well my situation was different. I started feeling constipation pains for a few days, by the time my doctor recommended I go to L&D to get checked out, I was actually contracting. So that's what the pain really was! It was 6 days of contractions before I actually was in active labor. But some people never feel anything and then all of the sudden are in active labor. You never know!

Awww Stacey your little guy will come soon enough. I ended up being induced right after my 39 week appointment so who knows what your doc will say. I had contractions for a long time too but he didn't budge on his own until I had pitocin in my system. Best of luck!!!

For what it's worth....I went into my 39 week appt to discuss what we were going to do b/c I felt like Spencer was NEVER coming. At my appt, I brought this up to the mid-wfe as she was examining me...she said I don't know what you are talking about...you're in active labor and having the baby today. Apparently I was in active labor and didn't know. That was at 930 AM, Spencer was born at 511 PM. Good luck to you!

Ooh! So glad I decided to pop into day. Don't worry! You will be a momma soon. I am 38 weeks Wednesday and will happily wait until I am a full 40 for our little man to make his arrival. If I knew I was going to go a little early, I would happily pass those days along to you

Glad to hear that you are still feeling good! Hard to believe we'll have babies here soon!

I remember those days all sooo well! I started waiting for something to happen at around 38 weeks. I remember waking up EVERY morning and saying: "maybe today!"

My day didn't happen until 40 weeks 5 days though. I started crying on my due date and cried every night until she came! LOL! I remember being so desperate and thinking it would never happen. Luckily, I had a fabulous pregnancy and felt great every day right up until Nadia came.

I started contractiond 40 days, 4 days around 7pm. Had a bloody should around 3am the next morning and the pain got worse. When to the hospital around 11am and Nadia was born 40 weeks, 6 days at 3am. It was different then anything I had ever felt before but I didn't know they were the real thing because "you don't know what you don't know... "

Anyhow- be patient! Your baby will be here before you know it! All pregnancies eventually come to an end!

I felt crappy and sluggish the day before my water broke with #1. Hope it happens for you soon!

Thanks for all of your input. I will happily wait until 40 weeks (or beyond, if need be!) but I just hate the "not knowing" part of it! Like Mari said, I wake up every day thinking, "is it going to be today?" I just wish I had some kind of gut feeling to go by, like I would know by the way I am feeling that it is likely to be in the next day or two, or still a week (or more) away.?

I guess because I am such a structured and organized person normally, that it is killing me the whole not knowing when it's going to be! LOL
