Baby peanut happy where he/she is

Time to start typing up the eviction notice!

I can sympathize. Katherine was due on the 27th of July, and she wasn't born until August 6 (and that was being induced).

Yeah I'm thinking I'm gonna have to be induced. Unless a miracle happens and the baby decides it's ready to come out (which I doubt lol) in the next few days I will be induced next week.

Unless the non stress test shows the baby is under any kind of stress. if there is any stress they will induce right away but it seems as though the baby couldn't be more stress free at the moment lol.

But on the plus side my mom is coming on October 4th so she just may be lucky enough to make it here for the birth. She says she won't wish for that though because she knows how much it sucks to be overdue lol.

My original due date was october 3rd though so it seems they may have been right the first time

Feels like the past nine months went faster than this past week. time is standing still.

Have you tried brisk walking? I know you are probablly uncomfortable, but if you get in a good walk every day it WILL help move things along. I went to the mall every day and just walked and walked until I could not walk anymore. It was not comfortable but it worked and it got me enough dialated and thinned that when I was induced, it went pretty quick and easy.

Try walking briskly. Every day. Walk even though it's not the most comfortable thing in the world.

Good luck and hang in there

Sparks, I did every trick in the book, even some that I can't mention on this public board, and still my baby would not come! That baby is going to come when it is ready, or when your doctor says "enough is enough". I think I might have qualified as dialated one centimeter when they finally said it was time to make that baby come!

It was a long time ago, almost 17 years, but it was winter and we (the USA) were in the throws of Desert Storm. I always figured that my baby (my Helen) was happier in "there", than out here. But two weeks after my due date, they finally induced my labor, broke my water, and 12 hours later, I had my girl! She is not one to be late, in real life, thank goodness.

I wish you all the patience in the world. I had my calendar all set for that Jan. 15 due date, then had to start counting the other way! My one and only finally arrived on Jan. 29, at 5:50 pm. I think that she would probably still be in there had they not made her come! She was 8 lbs, 5 oz, and to this day, she is perfect in every way. Your baby will be too.
