41 weeks and no end in sight!

My little one doesn't want to make an appearance! No signs of dropping or dilating....scheduled induction Tuesday night. Any words of wisdom?

Re: 41 weeks and no end in sight!

  • Good luck! I went through two inductions that went very smoothly, I'll be thinking of you!

    My baby didn't drop until active labor and the one time my OB checked I wasn't even a cm dilated. It could still happen, but if you need to be induced you will do great! End is in sight!!
  • Good luck! I'm 40 weeks now and playing the waiting game. I hope it goes well for you!

  • I'm 39+3 with baby #3 and this is how I feel. I think i should be far more uncomfortable than I am at this stage of the game. I feel like I am and could be like this forever..only dilated to 1 cm two appts in a row... And baby is high. :-( I keep reminding myself both of the other two were born in the 39th week... Dilating or not doesn't necessarily mean anything, but to add to my anxiety, I'm attempting a VBAC this time and the doctor told me that if I go over, they could induce is my body is favorable to it... Already dilating, soft, etc... Ugh..

  • 40 weeks today, myself. I am sending you happy thoughts and good wishes! 
    (Next Tuesday I am scheduled for an induction.)
  • Right there with you. 41 weeks tomorrow been dillated and thin for a while heads been at 0 for weeks lost my plug but nothing. No constant contractions. I feel your pain of waiting. I've stoped answering my texts. We will talk induction tomorrow at my appt. Hopefully our baby's come soon.
  • Words of wisdom THANK your OB for inducing you tomorrow! :)
  • So glad to see this thread! I'll be 41 weeks tomorrow, and was 50% effaced and <1cm dilated at my last appointment. Induction scheduled for Friday if things don't get moving this week. Feels like I will always be pregnant, but just trying to relax and keep focused on the fact that the baby will be here soon!
  • I was totally prepared to go past my due date but the fact that it feels like no progress has been made seriously has me down.  This is NOT how I expected things to go... I just feel like my body is letting me down - I know it sounds stupid, but it's true.

    This is exactly how I felt when my due date came and went. But I ended up becoming so frustrated that by the time my labor did start, I was not working with my body very well and I think that's why I ended up with such a rough time of it. I know it's hard but try to stay relaxed! Your body will do what it's supposed to!
  • I know how you feel, 40+5 and tomorrow is my induction day. Nervous about it as I am a FTM. We will do great...positive thoughts, lots of prayers and try to relax!
  • ugh, i know how you feel. I hope something has happened for you and if not, good luck tonight. Im 41 weeks today, and nothing is happening. I feel hopeless. I really want this baby to come on her own.
