Pregnancy Info HOME

you and me both sister! also -- i would NEVER smack a pregnant woman. i value my own life too much. i was wondering how you were doing. do you and your doctor have a plan to induce if nothing happens soon?

I feel your pain and I'm only 37 wks yesterday. Is this your first? I was 3 days over on my first, but we have a tenative date set for induction on the 18th because of the size of the baby. But I'd much rather go on my own in the next couple of days. Wishful thinking I know. Hang in there. You're closer to the end than most. : )

Im with you Smilefull, I'm 39 weeks also and nothing is going on with me either. I have the pains like you do at night and a TON of bh contractions, but as of last week no dilation or anything. The worst oart is everyone keeps calling me and is like "anything yet" "any new feelings" or the best is "I guess you didnt have the baby yet". I know everyone means well, but it just gets annoying after a while. My appt in on Tues, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed that something is going on.

drea -- my sister called me TWICE today. does she seriously think i'm going to give birth w/out telling her??? i know she means well, but it's just another reminder that -- NO i haven't gone into labor on my own yet. my due date was yesterday. :(

hello all, and thank you so much for the kind words, and empathy!! Ah man the day I posted that I was p__sed--even reading the other boards I posted on I was borderline insensitive. Thank you so much for giving me a place to go to and just know there's other ladies out there going through the same thing! Jillian--my doc, my hubby and I refer to her now as "Dr. McClueless (her real name is Dr.McC...) so no, she hasn't discussed induction with me, nor anything for that matter. I constantly have to remind her "uhhh, shouldn't I be getting tested for this around this time"--oh and my favourite the other day she says "Oh, uhm, this is kind of embaressing about two month ago your GD test came back and you were positive, we need to set you up and appointment at the Diabetic Clinic". This after I've been going already since the test came back....then she's like "Oh, and we haven't done your Hep B test, can you just run up to the lab and get some blood pulled"---"ACTUALLY, it's been done--it came back negative" ---"Oh here it is!". AHHH! Oh, she also refuses to do interal exams 'cause it might "get things going" down there. (Yes, and???) She did them when I went into premature labour and she was saying I was 2.5cm dilated when the ultrasound said I was firmly closed and elongated........okay, that was the "my-doctor-is-incompatant" rant. Drea--how are those bh's treating you?? I know your appointment is tommorw!! Please keep us updated! Jillian--why don't you leave a message on the answering machine saying how you appreciate everyone's concern but you'd be sure to let everyone know when something happens? My mother in law in a huff came over asking "Why aren't you picking up the phone? You could be labouring alone on the floor!" ---because I have an answering machine....(and a mother in law like you). Hope everyone is doing well concidering the state we're all in!!!
