Anyone else reading posts and growing jealous?

OnWayto3 · June 2015

Anyone else finding themselves totally jealous of all these June mamas who are having their babies while you're still pregnant??? I'm so happy for everyone who has been blessed with a healthy bebe in arms, but I can't help but wish I were you...

rodriyessi94 · June 2015

YES! My friend I went to school with just had her baby today and I cried because mine isn't here yet..

bbnmama2012 · June 2015

Very much so. And here I am... Still pregnant. I just want my baby right meow!

MaliKaela · June 2015

I've had my baby and i'm jealous for everyone who hasn't yet. I was thinking about how all these baby posts would make the still pregnant mama's feel. I feel bad but I also need the support and advice with my new DS. I, for one, appreciate all of your patience and totally feel for you.

Knottie64157109 · June 2015

@mcknzzee that is so sweet! Are you getting the advice you need? I'm still Preggo but this is my second.

I'm a little jealous... But at the same time I'm loving my last few moments with my fiancé before baby. We've been soaking it up!

Yes! Do this. Love my DS, but wow, at the same time really miss DH. Doesn't help that he's been so awesome with me and DS -makes him extra hot right now.

I was wishing away the final days now I wish we could rewind 2 months and just enjoy her back in my belly once again. I live her so much and time races by like you wouldn't know. Slow down time

JessHeppell · June 2015

im quite jealous of the one who had twins of both genders. this could be my only pregnancy and was totally hoping for that scenario.

klkonwi · June 2015

I am SO jealous.
Wishing my uterus would actually do it's job and get this baby out!

rosa2935 · June 2015

I know the feeling! I had early labor at 35 weeks and they stopped it only to do an ultrasound and realize she was big enough to have been born, now my body is rebelling and I've stopped having any type of contractioms, not even Braxton Hicks. 38.5 weeks... hope she is here soo.

btm013 · June 2015

Don't wish your days away. Your beautiful baby will be here soon!!

HMack4742 · June 2015

Not jealous per se but it's definitely making me super excited! I'm so anxious to meet this baby.

rolson8947 · June 2015

Haha I am getting a tad bit jealous, I have to admit. Whenever I get on the app and I see that there are new posts to the birth announcements I really wish my LO would come on already. Yesterday was my due date so I know she will be here soon, but the anticipation is killing me lol. But congrats to all the mama's with their new little ones in their arms and to the rest of us...well not too much longer mamas!!

lovethatcolosun · June 2015

I have mixed feelings of being okay to wait a little longer and being totally okay with LO arriving any day. Having a toddler already, I've been soaking up our last few days of him being an only child. It's bittersweet. Super excited to be reading all of the birth announcements though. It gets me all revved up!

megtyrrell · June 2015

I felt a little bad about posting my birth announcement because I know how jealous I was getting before Norah was born! But she's TWO WHOLE DAYS OLD now and I'm already having a fit over how fast the time is going by. Enjoy EVERY SINGLE SECOND of this beautiful time, ladies... Treasure each one. Your babies will be here before you know it.

MrsCaliRN · June 2015

No jealousy here. I'm a late-Juner so I was ready for this to happen. We'll see how I feel later on when the board has completely morphed into a post-partum discussion and I've still got an inside baby

Yes! Everyone is so helpful. I don't have a lot of friends where I live, even fewer with kids, so it's really nice to feel like i'm not the only one struggling with certain things. I really am grateful!

mvargas12 · June 2015

Yup yup yup!! So jealous I think I'm literally turning green. My husband rolls his eyes at me cause I'm like "welp! Time to see how many more babies have been born in the time ours hasn't!" when I open the app

almakie · June 2015

I was the end of June anyway, but I'm getting that jealous of all the new mummy discussions that I might change my birth club to July haha

enigmaticjj · June 2015

I haven't been jealous of the birth announcements. I'm in no hurry for LO to make her appearance as I know its just a matter of time, so trying to still enjoy what I can of quietness, etc. But...what I am jealous of are people who seem to have progress happening with their cervix (especially people who haven't reached their EDD yet).

Really it's just because I'm past due now (EDD the 15th) and during my 40 week appointment on the 17th there's still no dilatation at all and no "progress" with effacement since at least my 37 or 38 week appointment (not sure what % but nothing to write home about). And cervix is still very posterior. So I get to learn about what an "unfavorable cervix" means when my doctor explains that depending on how things change by next week, we may need to talk about induction and ways to ripen the cervix. And how if its still an unfavorable cervix during induction, it can lead to a higher chance of C-section because its just not ready. *sigh*

I know everyone progresses differently, etc. It just started to get me anxious for the first time to want to get things moving along as I'd really like to avoid a C-section (however, I know things will be just fine either way...but still hoping to avoid it). I only started feeling what I think/HOPE are early labor contractions (pretty mild) on the 18th and they seem to have teetered out for the most part (as far as I can feel), but even so I've heard on various posts about people here who have had those feelings for weeks. /:) NST is tomorrow morning...hoping they also check for dilatation and effacement and maybe there will be some good changes. *fingers crossed*

KaLikeAWind · June 2015

^^^ same. I've been 1/2cm to 1cm dilated since week 36 when checks started and I'm 40+5 now. At least my cervix is pretty soft (70% last time I got a number), but still hidden a bit by baby's head, which is really low, so every time they check me they are really reaching. I've also had the 'we need to induce' speech, but it was coupled with 'if we can't progress dilation there is an increased chance of c-section' speech, so I was allowed to take the weekend to hopefully dilate a little more. Induction is scheduled for Tuesday, hope the baby gates open when the time comes!

OnWayto3 · June 2015

@enigmaticjj and @mellymar I was in the same boat, though not overdue, with 0% effacement, 0% dilation, and a 'very posterior' cervix-- and had the baby the next day. My body wasn't showing any bit of progression-- until it was REALLY showing progress. The morning of labor, I lost my mucus plug in abundantly obvious ways, then quickly dilated to a 5 when my water broke at home. Even as the doctor checked me to say I was at an 5, she noted that my cervix was still very posterior.

Rest assured, these things can progress quickly, so don't feel despair (though I do understand wanting your body to show changes!).

rachelkaylene · June 2015

@rolsen exactly how I feel!

enigmaticjj · June 2015

@OnWayto3, thanks for the words of encouragement! I know things can change quickly. You never know!

NST went very well this morning. No changes down there except the baby has dropped further, so she's at least in a good spot. Scheduled an induction for Thursday. And it was good to hear from my doctor that they only do the C-section when there's something wrong, otherwise they don't "give up."

Good luck to you @mellymar!

I'm actually opposite..I delivered a week ago and I'm now jealous of all the preggo mama's still out there...I know its hormones but I feel this way after every baby...so enjoy!

apeschka · June 2015

There have been 3 of us ladies pregnant at work and the other 2 had their kids within the last 2 weeks and I'm over here with 1 more week to go. So unfair!!!!

I'm totally feeling the same now that I've had Baby Girl!

almakie · June 2015

Worst part is in Australia they don't tell you dilation and that until your admitted in hospital to have the baby. So not knowing how far away baby is, is killing me.
