Due date May 10

O.K.  Well I am nearing my due date and the anticipation is driving me crazy!! I can't seem to think about anything else and this is my first child and I thought that I would be early and now that that is not happening I am worried I will be late??  Can anyone offer any words of wisdom? Or any comfort?

Your baby will be here soon. Just gotta keep telling yourself that. Sometimes, it's the only way to get through the day.

Thanks Ladies, I can't help but be aggravated by this point and I haven't even passed my Due Date yet but I'm crying everyday, because I am really tired of being pregnant I feel like I can't take it anymore and it's seriously weighing down on my mental health.  But, I try to keep positive at the same time it's just not easy to do when you feel like you can't bend, move, or even lie down....it's sooooo annoying!
Ammanda...good luck to you I am sure I will want to be induced too if I go past my due date, and I know what your saying about wanting him to come on his own I do too, but I've had enough, and it's time ya know?  
Clysta....I was hoping I was going to be a rare first time mom and have him early, unfortunately I set my self up for dissappointment.  My hubby took this whole week off in hopes I'd go into labor and have our son, and I'm worried he won't even come by the end of the week............ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

I am officially due today. and still no baby. its also my first.  and clysta is right most first time mothers will go over there due date.  I dont feel any different today, other then some menstral cramps when i woke up.  But i know how you felt, i couldnt think of nothin but my due date coming, and now that its here and im still pregnant Im kinda sad and discouraged.  I cant wait for it to happen, if all else fails i have an appointment on the 11th to talk induction, but i really want him to come on his own!  Good luck, he'll be here soon, he cant stay in there forever lol..

Many first time mother's will almost always pass their due dates. I think only 5% of all baby's are born on the day they're due. It's perfectly normal to give birth to a 38-40 week gestational baby. You're close to the end, so you can at least be comforted with the knowledge that you will be holding your baby soon.
