Frustrated, disappointed and just want to cry. Encouragement appreciated!

in March 2015 Moms
I went into the dr two weeks ago with constant cramps, painful contractions and so much pain and pressure in my pelvis that I could barely walk or even sit up straight. She said that it was the early stage of labor and to go home and wait that Baby is on her way. For two freakin weeks Ive been going through this constantly, I can't walk for long and have a hard time even sitting at the table to eat. The contractions start to get regular and powerful, then just stop! I had an appt this morning and my dr said she really was surprised that this kid hasn't come yet. She checked my cervix and it has not dilated at all! She is shocked that the cramps and contractions have done nothing and now my blood pressure is high. Probably from being so uncomfortable and anxious but I have to go back in on Wed if I still haven't given birth and we are going to talk about induction. I feel like the biggest and whiniest crybaby ever, but I am so done! I just want to hold my baby girl and have a day with no pain.

    So sorry your feeling down, I know exactly how you feel!

    I'm at the point where I've been choosing to stay to myself at home rather then socialize with ppl bc I feel like all I do is complain. I have severe and almost debilitating pain in my right hip when I walk/stand/climb stairs, it really is awful. I also have had a horrible cold for 3 days now, adding insult to injury.

    Our little boy is due on March 20...so he could come today or not for another 2 weeks....sometimes I just want to cry with how "done" I am being pregnant!

    Very much sympathize with u both!! Even though I know rationally it will happen soon, it no where near feels soon enough. Same hip and thigh and pelvis pain described above and so exhausted ALL the time! Good luck to you both and hope it happens soon

    I've been in early labor for weeks...exactly what you're describing and barely 1 cm dilated and 50% effaced. My son was born at 37 weeks so this is the most pregnant I've been. No signs of her coming either. I get painful and strong contractions and then they just stop too. My Dr did say I am starting labor and hopes she'll come before my next appointment next Wednesday but I don't think it will happen. She says we will talk about induction at that appointment. I'm tired of being pregnant too but baby will come when baby is ready.

    Sympathy! That sounds like a terrible situation, frustrating and painful, and complaining is warranted!!! You're doing great and are in the home stretch now!

    Hang in there! Take baths, watch your favorite movies, drink tons of water. You are so close! Remember, every single pain brings you that much closer to meeting your baby girl!

    Yes, you are definitely not alone and definitely allowed to be frustrated! I've been going through the same thing. Thankfully, baby girl is healthy and I'm not having any health conditions that would require early induction, but I'm done. I just want these contractions to be doing something! And it is really hard to explain it to other people who haven't been through it before. Hang in there! This is the final stretch and you'll meet your little girl soon.

    I'm right there with you! I'm 38.2 weeks and since Wednesday have had issues with my BP getting too high. I'm 2 cm dilated and 50% effaced and baby is head down as low as she can go. My Dr. Is out in vacation yesterday through Sunday and the OnCall Dr put me in bed rest. I'm so ready to just be induced now instead of waiting until Wednesday but at least I know she's doing good and "ready to come whenever!"

    I'm in the same boat! I'm 39 weeks today and having a c section on Thursday. I am in so much pain and haven't stopped complaining lately. Today has been really bad with back pain, pelvic pain, nausea, pure exhaustion, etc. My husband keeps asking me if I have to poop and maybe that's my problem. How sweet of him lol. I swear this baby is going to come early. Feel better!!

    Same with me:/ except im due tomorrow and they've sent me home twice already saying I'm not dilating "fast" enough to keep me at the hospital even though my contractions are 5 and 3 minutes apart for the most part. It's frustrating and all I want is to hold him already:/

    Hang in there all you ladies that aren't at your due date yet! And all of those of you well past that date too (like me!)
    I felt the same way you did (annoyed, uncomfortable, exhausted, sad, tearful, over it, frustrated, even scared that something was wrong!)
    My attitude totally clicked from negative-nelly to being more positive the day my doctor scheduled my induction (I was due March 2nd! Will be induced Monday the 16th if he doesn't come on his own!)

    We literally can't stay pregnant forever

    It cut off my response but I was also going to say to hang in there! And that yes, haha, a good poop may help!

    I'm on the frustrated train. I was 1 cm and 50% effaced at my 38 week checkup Wednesday. I went into labor ans delivery for swelling yesterday and was contracting on the monitor. The dr checked me and I was 4 cm and 50% effaced. I dilated 3 cm in 2 days. They kept me a couple more hours to see if I would progress. I was starting to get painful and consistent contractions but was only dilated 4.5 cm in those 2 hours so it wasn't enough progress for them to keep me. I thought I was so close but nope.

    @djoliet I'm sorry! I thought they would've kept you since u're already 4cm dilated. I would've been upset if they sent me home at 4.5cm.
