hate back pain! I've had back issues since 2006 but they were magically fixed after my son was born (must have been my spine going back into place) but now I have it again with this pregnancy and hoping it'll go away after. But it's not continuous aching like you're probably getting - that's so much worse!

 

[Wilsey]

Are you off having your baby Amsan? Have a funny feeling you are

 

[Mummy Bean]

ha some of us must be on here too much if we assume ppl having babies if they don't reply in a while hehe.

lets hope she is though.

Hopefully it will be our turn soon.

 

[craftymama]

Lol well I sure hope she is! It would.give me hope that it can happen soon! I keep telling FTMs it can, but somehow I don't "feel" my own advice.... I told DH he's on notice that if this baby decides to be seriously overdue, he can forget deer hunting in November. Even if baby comes the first week of November, no way he gets to trample off into the woods and leave me alone with the kids.

I laugh...but inside it doesn't feel very funny. I truly think this baby is headed for an overdue date!

 

[craftymama]

Overdue really isn't all that bad. Once you're past the dd and then one day goes by and you kind of just... Submit to your fate that he's never coming out!

You my dear are taking it a LOT better than I will should I go over!

 

[shaunasmommy]

What time is your appointment, Amsan? Stalking to see pics of your ds!!

Yes, yes I am! Can't help it, I'm addicted...

 

[Amsan]

LOL sorry ladies my phone will only let me reply to threads I've already commented on and my laptop has been down so I haven't had a chance to get on the computer.

Sadly, no baby yet! Not even the slightest contraction. I was feeling a little off last night so I had hoped maybe that would have been it buuuut nope

My appointment is at 1 today so in about 4 and a half hours. I'm honestly expecting to go in and have him tell me there haven't been any changes lol. So I'm not even sure if he will offer me an induction and even if he does idk that ill take it. But it sounds very tempting. My mom has a race Saturday, an ultra marathon. So I'm praying I don't go into labor Saturday, and having a set date for delivery would be helpful because I HATE not having actual plans for anything in my life lol. But idk if I should wait until next week since she's running that ultra marathon, or plan it for this week or what. Shit idk.

 

[MrsH1980]

Yep, resigned that this Thursday (due date) will come and go without any drama - weirdly I now feel almost as if it might never happen (which, of course, is ridiculous LOL) not in a sad desperate way but in a sort of plodding through pregnancy kind of way

Hope everyone else is feeling good and making progress

 

[Wilsey]

Ugh, damn! I wanted someone to go into labour to set off a chain reaction

I hope your appointment goes well and you have made progress. No advice on an induction date sorry. If it was me, I'd probably just have it for the last day they would let me go overdue (here it's 10 days).

My end date is either going to be 40w, 40w+1 or 40w+4 (they won't do sections over the weekend so it would give me a few more days for my vbac). Hoping to find out at my appointment this week. Means baby will be here in less than two weeks either way - eeeeeeep

 

[Wilsey]

P.S and totally TMI but I'm having the worst ever gas. Anyone else? I'm up on the computer right now because I did a couple of huge embarrassing farts in bed and knew there was more. Horrified my poor hubby had to witness them (fingers crossed he was soundly asleep).

It's like I've drunk a whole bottle of fizzy pop or something!!!

 

[Wilsey]

Well I better not queue jump so I think MrsH and Amsan

 

[sweetpea417]

Somebody start it off please! The thought of 12 more days for me (or possibly another week or 2 after that) is driving me mad!!

And no eggplant parm baby for me grrrrr

 

[Wilsey]

Tbh, the only thing keeping my sanity of being overdue is the fact that every other day is one of my relatives birthday in October. Like today is my mother's birthday so I'm thankful my labor didn't start last night. Tomorrow's good, but the 9th is my aunts ... then my cousin's is the 10th. I'm pretty much counting on the 11th.

I thought my OH's father was joking when he said I'll make it to his birthday on the 16th. I told him "I better not!" but now it's looking in the cards!

I think it would have been worse if he'd said 'you'll never make it to my birthday on the 16th' that's like the kiss of labour death!

Midwifes and OB's are always saying 'you won't make it another week' or 'think I'll be seeing you before your next appointment' and they always jinx us hahaha

 

[Wilsey]

Why would they want to induce you so early?! We have a standard 10 days overdue here (unless of course there is a medical reason to induce early).

 

[Amsan]

Yeah my Dr is very pro induction as long as the cervix is favorable because he won't want me to labor for days or end in a section. But if we discuss it today idk when he will schedule it, it may not even be until after I hit 40 weeks.

I've had HORRIBLE gas too!!!! Every time I sit to pee, I let out a huge Fart, which of course is echoed by the toilet.

OMG yes! I hate going in the middle of the night knowing it's so quiet and it'll be extremely loud. I make it worse by trying not to fart instead of just relaxing, clenching makes it so much noisier bahahaha

 

[MrsH1980]

Ha ha ha ha, I thought I was the only one with terrible gas LOL!!! The more ladylike I try to be about it the louder and more manly it sounds my poor poor husband

This!! Every time my OB says it I know I'm destined for another week. She said it again this week and I said "I'm telling myself I won't be having a baby this week." She asked if I didn't want to I said ohhhhh nooo I want to! But everytime you tell me you don't expect me back in clinic, I'm certain to be here again! She just laughed and said yeah that's usually how it works. Its a plot. They are doing it to get us to 40+weeks!

As for gas, ohhhhhh yes. Lots of it. We walked at the mall yesterday since it was so rainy here when I started contracting, and when DD and I went to the bathroom I farted soon as I sat down and instantly she says as loud as she can, "Mom are you pooping!?" Kids. And this "clear out" like stage I'm in is on day 5 and I can't believe there's anything left to clear out!

Amsan, I agree I'd set the induction if he offers for late, that way your nody still has a chance to do it on its own, but at least this way you have an end date to look forward to lol.
