i'm at the very end of the May due dates... EDD is 5/30, so i'm still not overdue but patiently waiting, with no signs of labor I'm thinking this will be a june baby!
Due Friday! STM, dilated 1cm and 50%+ effaced. Who knows, man. My first came at 40+6 so I figured this one wouldn't be early. My chiropractor said she would be surprised if I make it through the weekend. It's toying with my head but hey, it's the final stretch. I do hope she comes in May!
@lionstigersbears Same due date here, and very anxious to see what they say at my appointment on Friday! Have progressed the last two weeks, felt some cramps... but then again, like everyone keeps saying here sometimes these things mean you're about to go into labor, and sometimes it means you get to wait two more weeks. Only makes me feel a little bit crazy.
@thismakes4 Good luck, hope you're on your way to getting the meds! And having the baby!!
Tomorrow is my due date. I was hoping for a vbac. Baby was head down at 36 week somo, head down at 38+4 cervical check, then transverse Monday at 39+4 sono Scheduled a version, went in this morning for it and not only was he now fully breech, but I had really low amniotic fluid. They were shocked my water hadn't broken and asked about a dozen times. So moo vbac, but silver lining- no laboring and no contractions. RCS tomorrow morning bright and early!
We arrived at the hospital at 7:00 pm last night, had Cervidil placed at about 9:45, and tried to get some sleep (which didn't go well, even with the help of some Ambien). My OB just dropped by to check in and say that they'll be removing the Cervidil in about an hour. Then, I'll get a cervical check, be able to take a shower, and then we'll get ready to start on the pitocin. I have a feeling is going to be a long, rough day, but I'm ready to get it started.

I was having a bunch of cramping yesterday, but it was really inconsistent although I did start to lose my mucus plug. This morning I started out having cramping every 10 minutes or so, and it's now down to every 4 - 6 minutes. Still not consistent, obvs, so I'm not sure what that means? Either way I'm staying home from my afternoon job to keep track of things easier (and we live 2 blocks from hospital and work is across town). So we'll see how this goes...
Just checking in to see who else is left! Maybe anyone with due dates during the last few days of May headed over to the June board a long time ago, but realized that a few of us may theoretically not even be overdue yet! I’m scheduled to be induced 6/5, so I’m trying to just resign myself to waiting until then, because I feel like there’s no signs of her coming out anytime soon.
My husband has been stressing me out about the induction date though. When I first scheduled it, he said it seemed too soon (41w2d), and said I should change it to Tuesday (41w4d). Now he’s asking me why we aren’t doing it right at 41 weeks, and telling me that if we get induced on 6/5 and she ends up being born on 6/6/16, she’ll have to deal with people bringing up the whole 666/D-Day thing to her for her whole life. Note that my comfort levels or what feels right to me plays zero part in his consideration of what day it should be - not to mention that no matter when we schedule an induction, 6/6 could still be her birthday, so I don’t want to be thinking that there’s anything negative about that day at all. Believe me, if I had any say in when she showed up, she would be here by now!
I'm still here as well! Due 5/26 - scheduled for an induction on 6/2 but coming into the hospital the night before. However, I am at the hospital now due to high BP at my doctors this morning - waiting to hear if they want to induce even sooner! My husband is currently sick so ideally they will send me home and he can have a few more days to get better before we meet our little one.
@KSkeld Good luck! My husband has had a cold for the past week so that has been the only blessing in having more time to wait. He also took on more work since the baby didn't come yet, and now every day is like, "I hope the baby isn't here before tomorrow at noon!" or something like that based on these new deadlines he has to meet. He told me that if the baby comes too soon he'll have to bring his laptop to the hospital and work while I'm in labor. I told him that the baby can't come too soon because she's already late, and he better not take his f-ing laptop to do work while I'm giving birth!
Still hanging around as well. Due date was 5/27. At my last apt on 5/26 I still had not done a darn thing. Less than 1cm and maybe 25% effaced. We are talking about inducing 6/3. I have felt different this weekend and I have an apt tomorrow. I'm hoping for good news cause I really don't want to screw around with pitocin.
I'm still here! my due date is actually today 5/30 (at the very end of May! lol) I'll be "overdue" starting tomorrow and my next appointment is tomorrow so I'll be interested to see how that appointment goes and what they'll say regarding induction which I'm reaaaaally hoping I won't need to do. I'm planning on an unmedicated labor at a birthing center so that will be important for me. Midwives said they will let me go until 42 weeks if needed but cross my fingers it won't take that long!
I'm still here! 40+3 without much to report, a little bit of tightening here and there but definitely no real labor signs. I've been wondering if I will end up having the same "signs" leading up to labor as with DS.....hope not, since it was like a 5 day process and none of that has started yet!
Still here too! Due date is today... Appointment tomorrow. Hoping for a natural unmediated birth too! But growing so large and uncomfortable and impatient. We'll see what the midwife has to say tomorrow. 3cm and fully effaced as of last week but not a darn thing happening contraction wise. Come on baby! Struggling some real struggle today being my due date and waiting. I knew this could happen but got my hopes up with all the progressing. It's honesty slightly depressing, going to talk to my widwife tomorrow about dealing with the hormonal/emotional side of things. I feel so down recently! Anyone else/advice ?

It's definitely tough, but try to remind yourself that being patient is the best way to try for the birth you're hoping for. It's easy to get caught up in the drama of being "late," but on average FTMs give birth at 40+6 or so! End of the month due dates particularly tough watching everyone else take their babies home. Hang in there, LO can't stay on the inside forever!
I'm still here! Due today with no signs of baby. My next appointment is Friday and my doctor said it will be my last. She's going to be scheduling me for an induction then. I'll be happy with a June baby but really don't want to push for an induction. I plan on going epi free and I don't think I would be able to handle the induction without one.
Knottie70382496 - My due date was rough. It felt like a huge milestone, but nothing was happening, so I spent like half the day crying and just feeling miserable. Now I'm 40+3 and even though it's later, every day is just another day, and so not feeling so stressed anymore. Also scheduled an induction for 6/5, so the end is in sight! I've also actually talked to several people who had very easy and short induced labors, and it’s made me think I might even move it up to 6/3 if I can, at just 41+0. We hear so many horror stories about induction, but I think if you’re already a week late, you’re probably pretty close to being ready anyway, which makes the induction not so bad. Of course, maybe I’m just being delusional, but I’m just so ready to get things moving!
@Knottie70382496 Definitely not alone in the depressed departmet. I cried all morning today and am so irritable. I had in mind this whole time that she probably wouldn't be early but I'm 40&3 and I have had zero progress. I really don't want to be induced but at the same time don't want her much bigger. Crossing my fingers for tomorrows apt.
@Knottie70382496 and @BabyL52716 I also scheduled like 6 different dates with friends on the days around my due date to make sure I didn't sit around and obsess. It worked really well and was a great way to pass the time, especially since I feel like I won't be able to hang out with them for a while after this. Afterwards I was kind of wiped out because usually I'm not that social, but I think I'm going to schedule another round of hangouts for this week, because sitting and waiting is just torture.
I feel everyone on it being emotionally difficult once you're past your due date. And its definitely tough being at the end of the month and seeing all the beautiful babies on the board! I had two due dates and I'm now 5 days past the second one. It's been rough.
Well here it is, May 31, our last day for May babies. I've always had it in the back of my mind that this baby might come June 1, and a selfish part of me would prefer not to go into labor at bedtime like with DS (I was such a zombie by the time he arrived!). I know I have zero say and of course that's okay, but I'd be fine with going into labor in the next 12 hours if you're taking suggestions baby girl.

my due date was yesterday and I was having a conversation with my husband about not wanting to go into labor in the middle of the night but I guess is not up to us lol having an end of the month due date AND being overdue is no fun on the BMB boards lol =P
Seriously would be way more of a hott overdue mess if it weren't for you ladies. Sorry we're stuck in this together but thank you none the less! As hard as it is to believe we can't be pregnant forever.... There will be a more than worth it beautiful end to all of this! One day, one hour and one minute closer to holding our babies in our arms!
Tmi but I am almost certain my mp came out this morning. Maybe somethings finally happening down there and why I hadn't dilated at all yet. Dr. Appointment today we shall see.
I was supposed to get a gel application today at noon to get things started, then my midwife called to tell me some other lucky woman gave birth last night and she's been up all night, so my appointment is being pushed till I don't know when. Not gonna lie, I cried. I'm so tired!
Officially dilated to almost 5cm but she didn't want to check too hard bc my bag of waters is bulging and she didn't want to break it bc I'm not having any contractions. afraid my body is never going to contract like it's supposed to and I'm going to have to take my chances with pitocin next week just praying my little (or should I say big - she guesses at least 8 pounds) guy is okay in there. Praying he isn't too big to come out without destroying everything down there. It took her a bit to find the heartbeat today and it wasn't as loud as usual/ it was lower although in the normal range. Just makes me so nervous!! Tracking his every little movement now.... Anyone else's baby's heartbeat settled at a lower rate now full/past term?
I'm still here with you all too! Due date was 5/26 so I'm 40+5 now.and resigned to the fact that she'll be a June baby after all. Got the all clear at my 40 week appt to go to 41 weeks. Then, depending on my 41 week appt, they might let me go to 42 weeks. Been having stronger BH contractions for a couple weeks and haven't had any cervical checks, so not sure if there is any progress there. BUT started losing my MP today (!) so there's hope that I might go before 41 weeks?! I totally relate to the emotional ups and downs, particularly after the due date. I cry nearly every morning because I didn't wake up in labor at some point in the night. I'm so tired of trying to find a work-appropriate outfit that isn't super uncomfortable with shoes that fit. I get over 50 comments per day from coworkers that ask why I'm still at work or when I'm due or offer some sort of unsolicited advice on how to induce labor or tell me their horrific birth stories. For me, the mental part of it has been the hardest! Wishing you all the best!
@Knottie70382496 Wow! 5cms and you still aren't having contractions. I'm learning more every day, I didn't even know that was possible, I would assume at 5cms they'd tell you to go to the hospital, but I guess not. Last weds, I was 2-3cms. Today I've been having some sort of contractions irregularly all day - but I don't think they are the real deal. I have my next appointment tomorrow, and I'm curious how many cm dilated I am now and about baby's heartbeat. If your doctor wasn't concerned, try not to worry too much. Hopefully you'll begin labor very soon. Hang in there!!
Some progress for me but not much. A whole 1cm and 50% effaced instead of 25%. Still planning for induction on friday but I'm hoping that loosing my mp this am is the start of something happening by its self. We shall see.
@lwcbrooklyn thank you! I didn't know it was possible either! But here I am very interested to see how labor goes being this far progressed already.... But no contractions equals no admittance at the hospital despite progression I'm trying to avoid pitocin at all costs though so I'm okay with it. Good luck at your appointment today if you haven't gone already!
