Pregnancy Info HOME

Robin - I am going through the exact same thing, I too have a 2yr old boy and I am due Nov 2nd. They also had to stop my labor, twice and now I am on bedrest, even though I dont obey it, I find myself trying to hide from people at the stores because all they do is stare. A couple of times its gotten soo bad that I yell at them, like "yeah I AM pregnant" hahaha I never felt this way with my first son. I have severe depression with this one and I have to see a councilor once every two weeks. I am hoping it goes away, because I had PPD with my first boy and I do not want to be put on anti-depressants. I am 36wks on wednesday and the doc said that if I went into labor then, she wouldnt try stopping it because the baby could be born without any problems then. Im just soo ready to get back to normal and have my baby here so I can take care of him, instead of worrying about him inside of me all the time. Good luck, sounds like we are in the same boat.

Thanks for that I thought I was the only one. What do you do to keep your mind off of the baby or when will labor happen. I find myself wanting to self induce my labor so that it can be over.

Thanks I thought I was the only one. What do you do to help you not think about when you are going to deliver.

Thanx, What can I do to help not think about when I'm going to go into labor.

HI I am just about 35 weeks. I am tired of feeling fat and unsteady. I also hate the way people are looking at me when I am out. I am worried that my body is not getting redy for labor and birth because I do not feel or see any thing changing. What makes the waiting worse is being bored. Good luck to you all, I hope you dont have to wait too long.

Robin and Ashlie. It seems we are all feeling the same way. I am 36 weeks today due nov 1, I had my labor stopped at 30 weeks and at 32 1/2 weeks, I cant stop crying, my poor husband no matter what he does or says, my mind turns it around to where he's picking on me and I cry and cry. I never felt like this with my daughter who is four. I am also so depressed now. I wonder if its because the baby wanted to come and they stopped it and now that we are ready the little booger decides hes comfortable. The hardest part for me is I had an apendectomy at 30 weeks so all the pain I have had sucked. I am almost dilated to 4 and effaced 40-50%. Doctor said last week that baby would come then or this week, and so far nothing except a ton of back pain and a ton of braxton hicks- bloody show all the signs of its time, but in the end its not and I think thats what is fustrating for me. And bed rest, yeah right, doc says baby is over five pounds and I have steroid shots, bed rest is last on my agenda and walking is first.Well since we are all feeling the same and due around the same time. Lets see who pops first. Good luck.

Well my bun is still in the oven. I went to the doctor and while i was waiting for her to come to my room i couldn't help but sit and think aboout how bad i want htis to be over and hoping that she would come in and tell me that I am dialated some more and that she just want to send me to the hospital so that they can get me set to deliver. So i just started crying and my doctor had to calm me down.I am in so much pain the menstral cramps and the lower back pain combined with the baby putting lots of pressure on me, I just want to shoot myself. There is a full moon lcoming up on the 17th so hopfully we will all pop by then. We just have to hang in there. Good Luck Ladies. I wish you the best.

Robin, Hey how are things going? I am still prego too, Ive actually decided to go back to work, lol I figure even if it is only for a few weeks, it will keep my mind off of things for awhile. I just went to the doc yesterday and the way she made it seem, is im most likely going to be induced, but not until I am over 40 wks, so Im looking at the 2nd week in November. I am soo glad I have a councilor, because there is no way I could deal with this alone. I wonder if these OBGYN's realise that when they put a women on bedrest she is most likely to have some type of temporary insanity, lol. But sounds like we are all due around the same time, cept I am the only one who is only dialated to 1cm. hmmp... oh well..

Hi Ashlie - its good the you have something to take your mind away from it. I also have been trying to do the samething I went and bought fabric for a blanket to sew, I wish i could go back to work but i can't afford day care for my son so i have to stay home, but i'm trying to make the best of it. I went to the doctor today and she told me that I am only 1cm, but my cervix seems to be getting thinner. I told her that with my son they had to induce me becasue I was dialating to slow so she said that next week after I am 38 weeks she start to strip my membranes. So hopfully after that I will see some progress. Well hopefully thing will go smoothly for, your in my prayer. Take care

You are so not alone I'm due on the 29th and nothing seems to be happening right. I'm in the military so the have me working in a print lab with a 45yr women who has never had any kids. She looks at me like I'm a freak when I get hit with a BH ( mine really hurt and take my breath away) then just ignores me. I work 8 hours a day have never called in or left early. According to the military I could pop in the office before they let me go home, most supervisors let you just call in the last two weeks but she just ignores the fact that i'm prego. so that by the end of the day I'm so sore and tierd I just want to curl up in a ball and cry, but i can't show weakness infront of her. So everyone thinks I'm fine. I'm so sick of faking it. I feel like the offices dirty litty secret.

Jane - I am sosorry that things couldn't be better for.That lady

Jane - I am sosorry that things couldn't be better for.That lady sounds like my old boss when I use to work at the coorporation of Robinson's May. I know it can be really hard but we just have to ask for strength and just keep rolling with the punches. I really hope that your new baby will bring you the happiness the you want and so you can get back to yourself. Talking to you women have really showed me that I am not alone and that this process is a gift from god and I have to thankful that he has given me the chance to go through it. I really wish you the best of luck. And remember we all have to support each other because no one know what this feels like, but us. Take care.

Well, it seems we are still here and waiting. Im still the same almost 4cm and 50% thinned. Still having a lot of braxton hicks, but still nothing. I don't work either, I just try to stay busy around the house, a lot of reading. It is so hard wondering....when? When will you get to see his little face, hold those little hands. I have dreams all the time of what he'll look like, holding him, b___stfeeding, the whole nine yards, and then I wake up wondering where he is. It sounds funny,I know. I just wish he were here. Robin, I hope that full moon thing works cuz im done too, I feel like you, I told my husband to take me out to pasture and shoot me. Hopefully the full moon works, Im praying for us all. Where is everyone from. CO here. Good luck ladies

Hi Jen i am from AZ where in the summer it is grosly hot and the rest of the year i completly beautiful. I'm only 21 years old. Yes I know I'm Just a baby. But I have a wonderful husband and we have been together for 5 years. All my family is in california so I have no friend, but I know that I have defintly made some just talking to you guys. I wish I had someone to shop with but this would do just fine. Still prego. Take care

Robin - I didnt realise you were only 21, I am turning 21 in April, so we are both babies :-) I am still prego. Getting ready to go to work in a hour or so. My doc was going to strip my membranes last week wednesday (37wks) but could only get a fingertip in she said. I told her I have a stubborn cervix and its not going to dialate unless I have pitocin, she told me to go home and have s_x and try castor oil. Well did both of those things and nothing. Im really praying on the full moon to do something, last month when there was a full moon is when I went into labor the first time but they stopped it because I wasnt far enough alone, so maybe this time it will work again and I can have my little baby. Today is my due date based on my MP but they are going by my first US so technically they same Im not due til 11-02 so we will have to see. Im thinking about asking the doc to induce at 39wks just to be safe since the baby is already getting too big lol. Hope everything is going well for you girls! hang in there. I cant wait to see who goes first!!!! :)

Robin, Ashlie... I was 22 when I had my daughter. She is going to be five and I will be 27 in Nov. I am still prego to. Hoping for the best.
