My update

[mandy38]

Well I had my appt today, baby is not engaged yet... so nothing happening there yet!  Everything else was good but I'm very tired and midwife thinks maybe I'm anemic so having bloods done at next appt.  I'm so moody now because I can't get around and I have had a cold now for 2 weeks that isn't going and this cough is horrendous, I've had it the whole pregnancy and there is no let up!!  Oh and now I have bleeding piles, so it's a laugh a minute.  I can't stand the thought that I could go to 42 wks again...  I"VE HAD ENOUGH!!!

thanks ladies... I'm just really fed up now, I think this is the hardest time, the last few weeks.  You seem to go bigger than ever and everything is such a chore.  I would just like it for once to know what it's like to go into labour naturally... but I just can't see it myself... right I'll stop going on and I hope we see kiki's baby today!!

mandy i am so sorry that you are having a hard time... it ***** going to 42 weeks... been there done that.. only took once and since it was a failed induction ending in csection i have gotten a surgical delivery ever since... but it is hard going past due date regardless. hope things improve and that bub engages very soon.

ps..... i have NEVER had a child engage, have NEVER had any form of contractions and have NEVER had ANY signs of labor... the earliest my kids have been is 10 days early due to having csections... and they were still wayyy up.. i dont think that i will EVER have a "normal" labor... but i could be wrong.. even if i go into labor they will stop it and do the csection as this will be 4th csection they dont want to take any chances of a uterine rupture.

I'm sorry you've had and are still having such a rough time Mandy.  I couldn't imagine going 42 weeks.  Maybe things will shift and baby will engage and some action will start happening and you can go on to the good part...holding precious little one. Take care!
