Overdue club

Welcome to July ladies! Hope we have lots of on time babies, but here is a place to bitch, whine, and support those who are overdue!
Re: Overdue club
Due today, too. I gave up trying anything to get this baby out. It's like buying a lottery ticket for me. I rationally know the chances of winning are slim to none, but I get irrationally upset when I don't win. I mean, why would I buy the ticket if I don't think I'll win, right? Trying to kick start labor feels the same way. I wouldn't be trying it if I didn't think it would work. So when it doesn't I'm insanely pissed.
Im from the June club but am going to be a July mama. Thought I would say hello!
Currently 41 weeks today.
1 sweep
Tons of raspberry leaf tea
evening primrose oil orally (going to try internally tonight)
lots of sex
bouncing on the ball
walking
talking about more sweeps and then cervadil. I have been planning a home birth and the last thing I want is to be in a hospital restricted with the monitoring equipment unless absolutely necessary!
im also talking to baby
any STM with cervadil experience?

9/5/18 Diagnosed with diminished ovarian reserve (4-5 follicles, one ovary had none and was very atrophied)
RE says the low egg count is likely causing my recurrent pregnancy loss. Less eggs results in more aneuploidy.

I'm trying to remember that we are having a baby super soon no matter what. I won't be pregnant forever
Everyone who was excited and texting around my due date has stopped lol. And my MIL rescheduled her flight so she is not sitting around waiting for me to have the baby.
Commmmonnnnnnnnn cervix!!
I mean we've waited 10 months, but for some reason I can't wait another couple days? I think part of its also that it's my first time, so anytime I feel anything different I think "is that it, is it time??!!". It's exhausting!
Good luck to us all in trying to stay calm for the little ones arrival!!
Hang in there ladies, you guys are doing awesome and hopefully we'll see these babies in no time!
I made the mistake of taking my due date off from work while pregnant with DD. I tried all the old wives tales, ran (as well as one 40+ weeks can waddle/run), did all sorts of deep cleaning, and nothing. Then since DD hadn't come yet, I had to go back to work. I was a mess that week at work. Thankfully I had awesome co-workers who brought me snacks and were as encouraging as they could be.
It may seem like crazy advice because at this point all you want is the baby out, but please, take the time to do something special for yourself. Mani/pedi, massage, a giant pint of ice cream and a sappy movie... Whatever your guilty pleasure is, please do something just for you!
