Overdue Club

Klittle779 · May 2016

I'm starting a club. It's called the Overdue club! Who else is joining??Officially past due with baby #2. Oh so fun. And absolutely no signs of labor. I went into labor on my own with DS at 40+3 so I truly hope I don't make it to induction NEXT. Wednesday. Ugh. Happy baby is healthy and full term but was also hoping I'd be celebrating with a cinco de mayo margherita!

lizChesnut · May 2016

Just got back from Dr. Appt. I'll officially ask to join this club if he doesn't come by Sunday! Here's to hoping for that MARGHERITA!

LemmyRN · May 2016

40+1 today and I'm hoping baby gets here before Mother's Day.
Yesterday was my appointment and it turns out that after weeks of contractions, my cervix did nothing. WTF body! I was ragey... Weeks of getting close to 6-7 minute frequency contractions (and timing for multiple days), and then they'd back off only to find it did NOTHING. At least the Dr. Was able to help me convince my husband to DTD, so I'm feeling great now

Nicbert1214 · May 2016

I'm 40+3 today, FTM. Cervix was barely dilated at 1cm as of Tuesday. Sono yesterday showed good fluid levels and healthy placenta. I'm hoping he decides to make an appearance prior to inducing which my doctor said would originally be happening as of next Tuesday- now he is saying next Friday lol.

40+4 today. Ultrasound tomorrow to see if there's any medical reason that my labor stopped.

Klittle779 · May 2016

@Aquinna82 that sucks... Had you been in early labor and things just stopped?

Charla1224 · May 2016

Give me 2 days to join you all but had to share.

Nicbert1214 · May 2016

@charla1224 omg lol you hit it right on the head- I am seriously ready to disconnect my cell phone

ginabina888 · May 2016

40+1 today. STM. Had a nst yesterday and baby passed with flying colors. DD came at 40+5 after a membrane sweep and 2 days of prodromal labor. Hoping for a med free birth this time so I want to avoid induction but the waiting and anticipation are killing me.

Yup...for 10 days. Then Tuesday things just stopped. The past 2 weeks have been unpleasant.

That is awful. I'm so sorry! Hang in there

I'm only two days overdue and feel very luck to have made it this far with my pregnancy. That being said, I'm worried that there are no signs of labour and I will end up having to be induced. I would like an intervention and medication-free birth (if possible) and would really love to avoid going too far overdue OR needing an induction! I had a membrane sweep on Monday which my OB seemed optimistic about..I was at 2cm, 75% effaced, very soft and baby at -2 (don't know if that's actually very low or not). But nothing. Had reflexology yesterday, have acupuncture today, eat spicy food/ take long walks/ have sex almost daily…baby just doesn't want to come out yet.

Let's all agree that while it's lovely that family and friends are excited, getting several texts per day that just say "IS THERE A BABY YET!??" Is the worst.

P.S. I am dying to change my profile pic AND name, which one day just changed itself to this but I can't figure it out. Anyone know how?

blaisdew · May 2016

I figured it out!

proudparent2b · May 2016

Five more days until I can join you lovely ladies in this group!

rlworzalla · May 2016

I'll join you ladies in two days of he doesn't make his appearance by Sunday, but since I actually went down in dilation I'm going to assume we will need an induction. Seeing our doctor Tuesday, Monday if she can fit us in and do a membrane sweep. Fingers crossed! I was really hoping he would be here by Mothers Day

gamommyx3 · May 2016

Induction scheduled for sunday at 4pm

hellogoodbye2 · May 2016

I'm hoping all of you get a wonderful Mother's Day gift :-)

codeeye · May 2016

40+3 over here. Won't be getting any assistance until next Wednesday when they will do a membrane sweep. my SO is getting ridiculous. Any time I have a contraction (I will have about 4-6 a day, never close together or anything) he looks at me all excited and asks if I'm having a baby. Haha! Trust me hunny you will be informed when this becomes actual labour. Haha

Klittle779 · May 2016

Slowly losing my mind over here.. Anyone else?! It's making me go mad. I've been yanking at my nipples the last three days.

ginabina888 · May 2016

I had painless contractions every 5 minutes since 2pm yesterday. Could barely sleep last night due to horrible indigestion. Really hoping this turns into something. 40+3 today.

Charla1224 · May 2016

Today is my due date and I'm avoiding EVERYONE. If one person, even a random person, suggest sex, walking, pineapple, bouncing on a ball, anything of the sort... They're probably going to loose their life. I'm uncomfortable and miserable. I wanted to look at my little girls face on Mother's Day.

Charla1224 · May 2016

You know who else is close to loosing their life? Other moms who say things like, "She'll be here when she's ready." "Let that baby cook." "Don't rush it." and other shit that's dismissive of how I feel. Especially when I ask those moms how far overdue they went in their own pregnancies and they tell me about their naturally occurring labor in weeks 37, 38, or 39. Kiss my ass! You don't even know.

Nicbert1214 · May 2016

@klittle779 @charla1224 you guys are awesome, you both just made me belly laugh

I'm 40+6 today according to my sono Doctor and 40+4 according to my OB. Whatever it is, he's late! Lol. I'm starting to feel like Bill Murray in Groundhog Day, I wake up every morning, it's still raining and I'm still pregnant. I'm getting the same stupid comments, maybe he is waiting till the sun comes out, maybe he is waiting till Mother's Day, maybe he is waiting till you all shut up! Lol. All in all, i just can't even let myself get stressed about it at this point, I'm just hoping he comes on his own within the next couple of days so I can avoid induction, but if I have to be induced- it is what it is. Hang in there ladies- either way, we don't have much more to go

Klittle779 · May 2016

@Nicbert1214 omg seriously all of this! We are in Boston area and it's been so crappy. I said the exaccctttt same thing. I feel like Bill Murray in Grounghog day. Trying to do anything to stay occupied. And not make everyday feel like the same damn day.
@Charla1224 I can't even with everyone telling me all the things to do/eat. Seriously. This is my second child and even if it were my first shut your cookie cruncher and stop telling me to bounce on a ball (or anything else for that matter) and eat an entire pineapple. Obviously I've tried all of these things dumbasses! Also...
getting pretty sick of the "God has a reason why this baby isn't here yet......she'll come when she's ready". SHUT IT. Just stop. I don't want to hear it I know she will come when ready but after nearly 10 months of being an oompah loompah I think I can feel defeated.

missmckc · May 2016

Im 40 weeks today and shes in no hurry to get here. Cervix still high, no contractions, nothing at all. Feeling worst as the days go by.
Going for an ultrasound on Tuesday. Hoping everything is good. Seems like I feel her less and less. Im guessing shes got less room in there.
Well heres to all the mommies and hoping your little ones make an appearance soon.
Sending good vibes your way
K

Charla1224 · May 2016

@Klittle779 thank you for such a great laugh. "Cookie cruncher" might be my new favorite phrase.

MsIan · May 2016

I'll be joining you guys soon too. So frustrating since I burned through a month of my leave time on bedrest and now I've decided to stop working 50% because of the discomfort and 50% because I'm tired of people feeling like they need to say SOMETHING along the lines of "almost there!" or "you haven't had that baby yet?" It's just best if I avoid people at this juncture. DH is so anxious. Poor man. He's like "i feel it. Soon!!" I don't even have the heart to tell him, "I doubt it dear."

jenl1681 · May 2016

@Charla1224 my DD was born at 42w exactly. I pretty much spent 2 weeks avoiding people and if I did go into public/work etc my face did a good job of giving off the vibe that I wasn't into questions or chit chat.

Furthermore, I've considered taking the battery out of my cell phone to make the constant calls and texts stop. Yesterday my doctor told me "you know what to do? Send out a mass text & say please dont ask again until wednesday." It might work. Also though it makes me feel like a giant dbag bc I know people are just excited for me, and I should be grateful for that rather than ragey that everyone keeps asking.

vinerie · May 2016

How long is everyone's Doctor letting them go? My DD is Monday and I have a sense nothing is going to happen by then...

Nicbert1214 · May 2016

@klittle779 ha ha yea I'm in NY and it has been dreary and rainy for over a week now!
@vinerie my dr originally said he would only let me get to 41 weeks- I spoke to his nurse the other day, and she said 10 days past the DD, soooo I don't even know at this point lol. I will be 41 weeks on Tuesday, but 10 days past the DD would bring me to Friday...

Klittle779 · May 2016

I have a scheduled induction for this Wednesday. (I'll be 41 weeks exactly). It seems like a million years away. Truly hoping I just go on my own but at this point at least it is an end date. So so miserable. Especially since I didn't go this late with my first.

My EDD is Tuesday. OB says 41 weeks max, as I am measuring several weeks ahead and wants to prevent LO from getting too big to deliver vaginally.

lizChesnut · May 2016

I'm OFFICIALLY in the club! Ha, I saw this coming. I swear my Dr. Gave me an early due date! I know when I got KU

besides feeling huger than I've ever been in my life, I'm trying to Thankful. Much rather keep him longer than have him come to early.... but come on now baby! Let's go!!!

BeansMom2014 · May 2016

Joining the club at 40+2. Going to see the doc today. Im feeling great fortunately/unfortunately. We flew my mom down on the 1st bc I was just positive the baby would come early. Nope. Now we're just sitting around.....waiting. Talk about pressure!

Klittle779 · May 2016

We Welcome you both @lizChesnut and @BeansMom2014!!
currently 40+6 and each day I grow closer to insanity and also further from actually believing im even pregnant anymore. Hope everyone's days are going as well as they can. At least the weather is finally beautiful. (At least in Boston area). Hang in there ladies we got this. Just remember ... When you need a laugh just remind yourselves what complete biatches our DHs would be if they had to do this for a day.

you're welcome.

lizChesnut · May 2016

It starts to feel like you're not even pregnant anymore. You've clearly just gone insane, and let yourself completely go.....

Right? My SO said the other day "you've been pregnant for so long I'm starting to think it's not really a baby it's just cheeseburgers!" Which is funny to me because he has gained more weight during this pregnancy than I have! workin' on his "dad bod" lol

lizChesnut · May 2016

@codeeyeha my husband refuses to call it sympothy weight but he's defintly put on weight! I think he got all my cravings.and he made fun of my poor brother who packed on a few extra when his kid was born

lol

Nicbert1214 · May 2016

This email made me giggle, get with the program guys! I'm 41+1 LOL

rlworzalla · May 2016

40w2d and seeing the doctor this morning. She said she doesn't go over 41 weeks so maybe we will have an answer. DH wants an induction tomorrow so he can be on paternity leave....so thoughtful ;-) Oh and the annoying calls, texts and FB messages from people (some who I haven't spoken to in months!) are starting to piss me off. Don't complain about being anxious about baby....you have no right!!!
