Still pregnant

in May 2016 Moms
As I read and love all of the birth announcements from both May and now June I have grown very impatient and feeling lonely!  I know it is only May 22 I'm not due until the 28th but I am very uncomfortable and ready to meet this little one!!!!   Since I am so miserable and misery loves company (haha) I just want to know who else is still waiting for their little sweetheart? How are you taking it? Just as impatient as me?

    Still waiting here too! You're not alone - I'm due on the 26th but feel so behind with everyone already having their babies! I just keep trying to remind myself to enjoy this time alone because before we know it our LOs will be here

    You're Def not alone.  I was due on the 12th and my little one is still not here.  I'm sooooo ready to be done with pregnancy.

    I'm many, many days overdue. Seeing everyone else have their babies turns me into the jealous green giant. (Original due date was May 5th and it was later revised to May 14th) I am now 8 days past that second due date and literally feel like I will be pregnant forever even though I am scheduled for induction tomorrow (Monday) morning. I avoid people like the plague because I'm so sick of questions and comments about me still being pregnant. I'm basically just a big round grumpy pants at this point. 

    My my whole view point of labour has changed too. I started out very confident and hoping for a natural unmedicated birth, now I'm incredibly anxious and would like him out by any means necessary, even though the thought of a c-section or even the induction meds scare the crap out of me.

    So impatient, so grumpy, so tired of the numerous texts I get EVERYDAY asking if baby is coming yet. Due on the 24th but feeling like perhaps I will just be pregnant forever. Oh, and have had an awesome five days of contractions that lead nowhere. Mean baby.

    I'm still here, too!  My due date is actually today, but it really feels like I should have had this baby already.  I am kind of sad to see that the ticker change threads have pretty much faded out, so I will participate here and then tomorrow I officially join the overdue club.  :)  We are trying to enjoy our last days before baby and have the house cleaned and totally ready, but we often just stare at each other wondering what to do!  Then we remind baby that he/she can come on anytime.  We are ready!!

    My EDD is tomorrow, and still no baby.  But I'm scheduled to be induced Wednesday night.  I stopped replying to and baby-related texts a few days ago after SIL started texting daily for updates.  I mean, it's not like we're going to have this kid without someone telling her it's happening!  I just want people to leave me alone!

    I'm here! 40 weeks 4 days pregnant. The thought of having a May 18th due date and potentially having a June baby makes me quite flustered!!  (June 1st is technically the 2 weeks past my due date mark.  and since my pregnancy has been healthy and normal so far my doctor and I won't consider induction till that point!)This is my first kiddo, we just moved to a new area (no cable or internet yet!!), we have no friends or family here, and I'm just sitting here.... Sooooooooo NOT distracted! All my friends with kids say "enjoy the peace and quiet!" Or "enjoy your alone time" but all I can think is how I've enjoyed all that for the past 20 something years and now I'm ready for my beautiful, loud, sleep restricting human to make its arrival! :)

    May 26th here also. Everyone at work was surprised I made it through Friday! Technically I am working up until my due date but I'm having some contractions now, somewhat mild, and hoping they turn into something. If not I at least have four days of work left to keep me occupied. After that it will be extremely trying to stay distracted....

    Not due until the 30th, been walking around 2cm and now fully effaced for almost three weeks. I too, cannot stand the constant text messages, the "you look like you're about to pop" and "when are you due" comments from strangers. I pretty much don't want to leave the house. My husband was born three weeks early and 8 pounds. They never did a growth scan for us so I'm really nervous about pushing out a potential 10 pound baby boy or having to have some sort of intervention. Hearing from my husband how huge "the baby" looks (aka me!) doesn't help. Especially with weeks to go still. Everyone is so anxious for this baby's arrival and I feel so much pressure to go into labor.  It's definitely taking a toll on my emotional stability and to think I could go as far as two weeks into June is unbelievably daunting. Not to mention, the baby's potential bilateral club foot and a family reunion 8 hours away the first week of July. ive tried everything safe to help get things moving and none of its worked. Convinced I'm just going to be pregnant forever and I haven't even reached my due date. Alright, emotional pregnant rant over.

    My due date is today! No signs whatsoever that baby is coming any time soon. I have a scan on Tuesday, and my fingers are crossed that they won't push induction just because I'm a bit overdue. I'm feeling alright and want her to come on her own. The constant questions from family and coworkers are getting a little old, but I know they're just genuinely interested and excited so it's all good :smile:

    @Knottie70382496 Yes! What is with feeling so much pressure to go into labor?? I have NO control over this people.  Also, @swflJD my SIL is doing the same thing and it is really starting to drive me insane. She keeps texting things like "where's my baby??" And "I'm tired of waiting- I want my nephew out now!"  I'm like, lady, if you think you're tired of me being pregnant imagine how I feel...

    I'm due Friday, but I convinced myself that she would be a week late so I've been mentally prepared to go to June 3 this whole pregnancy. I'm especially trying (okay just hoping) to make it at least until Wednesday since Tuesday is my husband's birthday and I don't want to make him share! So once I get past Tuesday I might get a little more anxious to get things moving, but I never thought I'd have the baby early anyway - now I'm nervous I will because I'm getting way more contractions that are a level above BH but not quite early labor ones. 

    Definitely feel left out on this board though, almost all the threads are about having a baby! Makes sense, but still. I am also definitely over being pregnant physically.

    May 25 due date, I've had no signs that labor is coming... No MP, no more than 3-4 BH in an evening, nothing, nothing, nothing at all!!! At this rate I'm probably going to be 41 or 42 before LO's arrival... Sigh

    My due date based on my first ultrasound was May 20th, so I decided to stick with that one, but my midwife kept our original due date of May 25th. I should have too, cause now in my head I'm overdue and it's driving me crazy. I thought for sure I'd have this baby on the weekend since it's the full moon. And now the texts and comments are flooding in. If I had a dime for every person, family AND strangers, who have told me to have sex to get the baby out, I'd be rich.

    I'm on day 3 of being overdue. I have an induction scheduled for Thursday morning at midnight. Part of me wants to push it back a week, but the other part of me wants baby to get here no matter what. Hopefully he comes on his own and I can avoid the decision.  I can't wait to go to work on Monday....

    I'm still here :/ EDD May 27th. I want my May baby..A couple weeks ago I thought for sure I would go before my due date by the way things felt "different". I had no changes between my last two appointments which was so discouraging. Most of all I am tired of answering ppls stupids questions about still being pregnant ><

    PS- In order to get labor going I've had sex a few times, walked 13 miles over the last two days, helped shovel landscape rock, and planted a 40'x50' garden with my H. I might be too tired to go in labor now!
    You sound like me.  I am so sore and tired from all of my "activities" this weekend.  I call bull on whoever said walking induces labor.
    I wanted to be like this but things are so painful and I'm so exhausted that today I've taken two naps... As breaks from watching TV. I think I have the pubic symphysis thing or something and it's bumming me out.

    This baby got too stubborn about moving for too long so I'm at the hospital for an NST. Thankfully she looks perfect. I knew this would happen, just couldn't shake the anxious feeling because I tried every trick in the book to get her moving!

    @pascal86 Hey, naps and TV are just as effective for putting someone into labor as far as I'm concerned. You are golden.

    Tomorrow is my due date. I should really just join the overdue club because I know my body and this is my fourth child. He ain't coming any time soon.

    On a side note: I was supposed to be born May 23 (just like this one) and didn't show up until June 1st. I do not want that.

    Due 5/26 and still very pregnant. We took DD to the aquarium yesterday and did a ton of walking, I've been eating pineapple, and DH and I have dtd pretty much daily including plenty of nipple play. Nothing. Could be here a while.

    Due 5/27 but RCS scheduled for the day before. Initially, I wanted to hold off 'til 6/1 (for dumb reasons), but instead I scheduled it just before I hit 40 weeks. But I've had zero indications of labor. I know if I waited until I went into labor on my own, I'd be chillin' for days on the June board for sure.

    But anyway, Thursday's our day!

    @AdorkablePixie I feel the same way! He can be late but not so late that I have to be induced!!

    Due the 31st, having a CS on the 25th (due to breech)... Can't happen soon enough. Pregnancy has turned on me, I have shrek feet and a bum hip (punishment for perhaps never hitting the waddle stage, skipped right over to a limp).

    My due date is May 26th, but NO sign of labor. Still dilated to 3cm, doc tried to push it to 4 but the cervix is still not stretching. Baby is NOT ready.
    Anyway, we opted to wait another week. Doctor will induce at exactly 41 weeks, which will make my baby a June baby!

    like @codeeye I've now passed two EDD's.  I don't measure by weeks/days anymore...I just say I'm Pregnant AF.

    I'm so sick of the comments and the texts.  "have you tried...?" YES.  "Baby come yet?" NO.  People are even hacking FB posts about normal life non-baby crap to ask if the baby came yet.  Yes...that's why I'm posting about the trees we just had removed instead.  Stopping work a week ago has been awesome - expected to be home with baby this week but having one last week of ME time and relaxation has really put me in a good place mentally.  I've been having prodromal labor for weeks (at my NST this morning the dr kept looking at me funny "you're having contractions 5 min apart..." "Yea, I know" Obviously since I'm still at a 2/70%/-1 not much going on with them huh).  But tonight is the night - checking in at 8:30 PM for the ripening agent and then starting the petocin in the morning.  Just hoping MIL respects our wishes and stays home until we call...

    I saw my midwife yesterday, and she tried to do a membrane sweep which hurt like hell and didn't work since I'm only dilated 1cm. She said we'd try again Monday, and if that doesn't work, we'll try the gel, and if THAT doesn't work, we'll talk induction before next weekend. I'm kinda glad to at least have an end in sight, but I"m REALLY hoping baby decides to come on his/her own. I never imagined the possibility of a June baby!
    @gingerbride26 Good luck tonight!! I feel you on the comments and texts. I've had enough. I know people mean well and they're just excited, but I just can't anymore. I'm no longer leaving my apartment until this baby comes out.
