Support Needed

I am a firt time mom, 38wks + 1 day along, and yesterday I was told I was completely effaced, 1cm dilated, and that my son is super low. I was super excited because I was having contractions 24 hrs before then, and now, they've slowed down and I don't feel like I'm physicay making anymore progress. I really want him here already and I don't wanna be stuck in this one stage of labor

  • *sigh* you're right! ❤️ thank you
  • My cousin had her baby a couple weeks ago, and she was at 38 weeks. Now I feel as if something is wrong with me seeing as how I'm not dilated, cervix is closed, and baby hasn't dropped. I don't know if this helps but just know you aren't alone! Our babies will come when they are ready ;)
  • I know it's hard when you get your hopes up. This pregnancy has been the hardest on me and I've been so ready for him to come, but I know he will come when he is ready. So just hang in there! You have a lot of company!
  • I have 4 days to go before my due date and was hoping for an early baby too!  I guess not.  My mom was 2 weeks early for all four kids and it doesn't look like she passed on that gene to me.  Oh well, just hang in there, you are almost done.

    Yup! What @wheresilenceismusic Said is right! We are all close! We need to embrace patience not anxiety! Anxiety is not a productive state of mind And is bad for baby! Yes distractions distractions....
  • I was so positive this baby was going to be early. And now I'm 39+4 and will totally miss him being in my belly.
  • Hang in there. I know the frustration, but baby will be here when he's ready. Just enjoy the time you have left. Sleep, read, take long showers. It will be over before you know it!
    Good luck :D
