@ByeBabyBunting Same here. I can count the number of times on one hand that I've bumped on a computer.
It's my last day of work before starting maternity leave and I have been on social media or TB pretty much the entire time I've been here. I think I may watch a movie on my iPad this afternoon.

This is me as well, but I have been trying really hard not to shop this last month and I have actually done really well.... It is a struggle though
I have yet to open the Stupid Parenting Questions thread (even though I have many stupid parenting questions and would find it valuable), but now it's up to almost 500 posts and I'm too lazy to go through them all.
I think I'm at work still because a martyr complex. That and I have to prove to all these dudes that ladies are great and can do anything. .................but then I start crying at the first mention of anything about a due date since I might have to be induced, so it might be hurting my stance at this point.
My Mom had both me and my sister at exactly 37 weeks so I kind of had it in my head that I would deliver early too. I know her experiences have no bearing on mine but I was still holding out hope. I'm 38+1 today and feeling nothing and have to confess that I'm already starting to get upset. I just "knew" I would deliver early and now I'm really worried I'll go late. I'm just really impatient and the longer he's in the more anxious I get.

@MRSCORKER I can commiserate with you on this one. I'm an anxious little ball off feels over here because it is 5 days from my due date with absolutely no sign of anything happening. My OB nurse SIL mentioned yesterday, "I'm surprised they let you go to 41 weeks. It's not safe for a baby to be in past that." On top of that, I had to schedule my induction which I am TERRIFIED of. I know plans are just plans, but I had my heart set on a med free birth, and now all I'm seeing is nearly 2 more weeks pregnant, induction, epidural, and emergency c-section. The total absolute opposite of what was wanted, so I'm just a hawt mess. Tearing up at everything and as kmolleltz put it, I have faucets on my face

I know. I'm terrified of a C also and I just keep thinking, the longer he's in, the bigger he's getting! I know we'll get through it, I just want an outside baby

@MRSCORKER... Although I never had any thoughts that I'd go early, now, I REALLY want to and it is so disappointing every morning when I wake up bc, although I've refused to admit it... I go to bed each night thinking... Maybe tonight's the night! Alsi, DH mentioned something about it being up to 3 weeks before Ella comes when we were talking the other night.... If looks could kill...
@MRSCORKER and @SpaceBurger - I'm with you guys. I'm now 3 days past my due date with no signs of anything happening soon. I'm dilated and effaced, but that's about it. I was really hoping for a spontaneous labor and hoping to go med free, but I've really got this gut feeling that I'm going to have to be induced. I've got anxiety problems to begin with, so this waiting game has been hard. Hang in there guys.
@MRSCORKER@SpaceBurger I have absolutely no reason to think that this baby will come before my scheduled c-section next Friday, but I still woke up disappointed and a little upset that I had no signs of early labor. DD was born at 40w3d and my body has otherwise proven that it doesn't know how to go into labor on its own, but for some reason I'm still holding out hope that I'll have a baby before next Friday. I'm a glutton for punishment, apparently.
I'm with you ladies... 40+3 over here and I never thought I would feel so emotional about it. I feel like I've been waiting forever and baby is never going to come! I am also terrified of getting induced because I really don't like hospitals and want to labor at home as much as possible, plus I've heard pitocin contractions are way worse. Also, I've been spotting since getting my membranes stripped Tuesday and I've had a lot of discharge/fluid that is making me constantly anxious wondering how much spotting is too much and how can I tell if it's my water leaking. My OB is squeezing me in later just to check.
I never wanted to have this baby early because I wanted him to be as healthy as possible, but I was so unprepared for feeling this anxious and irritable now that he's late...
Definitely also in the same boat! I had my daughter at 36 weeks last time so we've been on baby watch since then. 40 weeks tomorrow with no real signs of this one coming soon
I'm so glad I'm not the only one who feels like this baby isn't ever coming. Literally every person I know IRL due before AND after me has had their baby. What. The. Heck.
I wake up a little disappointed every morning too @bnsmith85
Cue whiny pregnant lady.

Add me to the anxious group. Everyone in my family comes early and I was high risk for preterm labor. Now my due date is two days away and I'm still pregnant. It's depressing me, which is ridiculous because thank god he wasn't preterm. But I can't help it.
@MRSCORKER@bnsmith85@SpaceBurger@lindzsers - Yes to all of the above. Every time I wake up I immediately check to see if my water broke. Nope, dry as the dessert. I'm 38 + 5 and while I never thought I'd be anxious to go early, I can't imagine going another week or two with my numb hands and sciatica making walking the hardest thing on the planet.
My FFFC - I've been going to weekly NSTs and fluid checks and every time I go I secretly hope that something is "low" or "of concern" so that they have to send me immediately to Labor & Delivery to GET THIS BABY OUT! But, alas, everything is fine (which I of course am grateful for) and baby is content to keep cooking and I want to cry. Bring on more pineapple.
I that I can whine about this with y'all and you all totally get it/are right there with me. Misery loves company lol
I bascially whine all day about it. It's sad really. But I don't know how to be patient anymore apparently!
Me too! My husband even called me out on it, was like "I know it sucks and you're uncomfortable but are you just going to complain all day?" But, I'm just to a point where I've lost my patience! These just feel like the longest days ever...
I made it a point not to whine about pregnancy related things. So when FI would whine about his aches and pains and start in on some "woe is me" crap, he got some serious death stares. For such a big, burly, manly man he's kind of a sissy sometimes. But I think that's just men in general, isn't it?
@AllyTheKid I've done the same thing. I don't think I've complained once. So when he came home saying his feet and back hurt I almost killed him off right then and there. I now realize when I typed that out I sound like a complete bitch.

No formatter is installed for the format bbhtml
Everytime I had an ache or pain, DH would have the same complaint. It was so annoying. A few weeks ago, I was having really bad cramps and thought I was going into early labor, and he was like 'yeah, my stomach hurts too. maybe we ate something bad.' I wanted to stab him Or when my back was really hurting, and he's like 'yeah, my back has been bothering me too.' Oh really, are you carrying a bowling ball around your midsection too? I should feel warm and fuzzy because he's probably just having sympathy pains, but my empathy is low right now. I apologized at one point, because I told him to stop 'stealing my pain' and I felt bad.
@chriscasey33 I just am lazily spending my Sat. Morning on the couch with H and I belly laughed out loud about your h's co-complaining. I read it to my H and said you better not pull any of that s#@! On me!
I'm sorry you had to deal with that but I did enjoy the lol and that you shared with us!
