I just want to screammmmmmmmmmmmmm.  I am 38w2d.  I get twinges here and there, Painless BH's but no type of contractions.  I am 2cm as of friday but DR said cervix was still HI and FIRM, the words i did not want to hear.  Im suppose to have appt every week which would be on the 11th but she is overbooked for the 10th and 11th so my next appt is the 14th, 4 days b4 my due date. Unless i see another Dr i can be seen on the 11th.  I asked the DR will she make me wait a week to induce me if i go to 40weeks, she said no she can induce me two days later.  Ive been walking and walking and walking and nothing but just getting very tired lol.  Im so ready i could just cry right now.

I think these are all the ladies who are left, Me, IMC, Airqueen, Slzerbst, Asking4, Wanttobea, Shawndell, RJL, Eachatel.  Any one heard from EMY, i think she is already 40w and shouldve had her baby but i havent seen any post.  And i cant remember if Bimicat her baby or not.  I guess we are the last ones left ladies.  Guess i will set up the playpin today, it has a changer and bassinet attached to it, gona work wonders for downstairs.

12 days seem like such a long time, especially when you are having no contractions.  Oh, i did lose a lot of my mucus plug on thursday, it did have just a streak of pink in it.

Slzerbst, I really hope to find out you've made some progress very soon! I can't imagine going through quite all of the things you've been going through... But baby Owen will be here very soon I'm sure!! Just hang in there, and send a msg my way if you ever want to really rant and rave, I've always got an open ear :)



So, I'm 39wks today and had nothing but BH yesterday...and woke up with hubby at 4am today to get him up for work, and my lower back hurts so bad I want to cry as I'm sitting here typing this.... Its like I'm being ripped apart at my back. I've had a couple contractions since then, but nothing extremely bad, just MAJOR back pain. I go to my dctrs appt in about 4 hrs and I'm hoping and PRAYING to find out that I'm making considerable progress. I've been passing a little bit more of my mucus plug everyday.. Hopefully not too much longer!

[slzerbst]

Ugh... nothing yet... still sitting here miserable.

To mommy: I have literly tired everything, on the "good days" I try and relax and enjoy being pregnant, I've tried talking to baby Owen, along with visualizing labor and delivery, but nothing has worked... and when I say nothing I mean it.  

Today I even had my best friend and her b/f over, who we've joked about if her b/f doesn't rub my belly then baby Owen wont come... so maybe tonight?!  I'm feeling the baby lower now so maybe....

[mommyhewitt]

Ahh! I think no matter what if you are an excited mommy you get a little miserable your last 4 weeks. Wishing and Hoping that your time is coming soon! We are all miserable and I hate to complain when I am only 37 weeks but I have gained like 20 more pounds than I am supposed to even though I have been eating right and exersising! So my legs and back are really bothering me too! Plus I have been having very painful contractions that keep me up at night! You seem very sweet and I hope your baby comes soon maybe tonight even! I hear that relaxation and picturing your baby moving down can help start labor! Maybe you are just to tense from the pain relax your body and mind and you never know! I wish you all the best and the next time I am miserable and feel like complaining I will remember the moms that have it worse than me lol good luck!

[Latrice414]

Its not offending, we are all just so frustrated and ready for the pregnancy to be over and start the new chapter.  I hope you have had some progress by the time your appt hits or you go on your own b4 your appt.

[slzerbst]

Ugh sorry I know this is going to sound b*tchy, but I'm just venting.  I'm sick of hearing about how some of ya'll are 37weeks and already 1+cm dialated... I'm 39wks 1d by my new due date and 41wks 1d with my original due date, AND I haven't had my first contraction, no BH, I'm not dialated... NOTHING!!!  So if anyone has anything to be pissy about, it's me!!!  

I can't walk without taking tylenol, because of how bad my siatica nerve pain has gotten, not to mention baby Owen is sitting all on my right side, which is encredibly painfull 24/7, and I feel like everything I do causes me pain, BUT I have been going for 1mile walks(ignoring the pain) for the past few days to try and get thing moving that way, I have also tried caster oil, with NO RESULTS, rasberry leaf tea, pressure points, bding, and now I'm currently taking Evening Primrose Oil, which they say can help ripen the cervex, though I've only been taking it for the past two days... so I wont know until my apt on Wen. if anything has changed yet. (You can take up to 3000mg a day while being pregnant, with a meal)

I guess I'm really just irriated at this point, because all that it would take for me to be induced is for me to reach the 1cm mark and my doc would put me in the hospital and beging the induction process.  We both feel that if he were to try inducing me before my body is ready for it, then it might not work, and I would be in alot more un-needed pain... so that's why I am waiting, tho, if I go in on Wen, and nothing has changed yet, I might mention having a c-section or something along those lines... because I can't deal with it any more... I have had gall stone from day one causing me pain, and now the baby and/or my body isn't cowaperating... and it's all a bit dishearting...  So sorry if this offending anyone... I'm just frusterated...

Well ladies, at least we have been blessed with making it this far!! I am 36 weeks 4 days, will be being induced on sept 21st but hoping, and walking and BDing and everything possible to help this baby come on out. I've only had a few hard contractions, but not painful, the most pain I have had has been in my lower back. Doc said (last Wednesday) 1cm and she could feel babys head. My OB didn't do her job and check me so I don't know how effaced I am or if my cervix has shortened or anything. Hoping by next Friday I have done something, even more, hoping I have delivered!! Either way, at most I have 14 more days, but like you said latrice, seems like forever when you don't feel anything happening. Best of luck to us all!!!!!!!!!!!!

[eachatelain]

I may talk to my dctr about inducing when I go to my appt on Tuesday. Depending on how much progress these contractions have helped me make, I may ask her what kind of possibility it is. I just don't know what to do anymore... I'm so miserable that I don't even have the energy to fix myself something real to eat anymore. Last Mon she checked, still 1cm, high and firm, and told me 5-10% chance of having the baby before I saw her again. I'm just hoping I get MUCH better news when I go Tuesday. I'm going to spend all day being so anxious I won't be able to sit still. DH will come home from work and I will have cleaned and straightened up so much he won't think he came to the right place!! lol

[Shawndell]

Hey ladies! Yup, I'm still here with you all. 37wks today. =] Thanking God for letting me get this far.  =] I haven't had any painful contractions or any sign of losing my mucous plug. Just BH contractions that I don't feel, just the tightening in the stomach. I did ask my dr. at my appt. last Thursday if he induces...he said he can't induce first time mommy's until after their due. So he did say if she isn't here by Sept. 27th (DD) then he will induce me that day. So here to 21 days (3 weeks) yay!!!

Congrats to all the mommies who have had their little ones!!! And labor dust to all of us still waiting! =]

[wanttobeamumagain]

Hi latrice, Im 37 weeks tomorrow and nothing has happened, ive not lost my plug, im not dilated and im fed up! i wish something would happen so i know im getting there. It feels like everyone but me is getting there! Im finding it so hard now as i have a son who is disabled with special needs. Im seeing my consultant on fri and im going to ask if i can be induced the following week. x

[lmc2132]

Latrice, I don't think I'll go till at least 40 weeks either, my aunts all gave birth 1-2 weeks late which would put me at Sept 19 at least, that's almost 2 weeks still...just gonna grin and bear it for a little while longer, then baby will be here!  Glad you guys are all here with me to commiserate with.
