Osmosis Mom Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 In the heat, sweating and wondering if this is a joke....!! My first four were 8-9 days late, but that was 12 years ago and since then I had twins via c-section due to labor at 37 weeks and an induction on due date with ds 2. So.........Where is this little princess?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oakblossoms Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 Oh I'm sorry. Worrying will definitely make them late:D Go have a glass of wine and some tea time. Are you dilated at all? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heather in WI Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 Sorry you're still waiting. My little man came 5 days early. :) Gestational diabetes is a thing of the past and I've been overcompensating for the lack of simple carbs during my last trimester in the past 16 days. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Osmosis Mom Posted June 5, 2010 Author Share Posted June 5, 2010 Well, congrats, Heather!! Good to know things are great for you healthwise. I have gained 45+ lbs. so I am ready to start -hopefully- shredding some serious weight here!! Hausunterreicht, thanks for your suggestions although I don't drink!! I do drink tea, but I think you are meaning Tea Time, lol!!!!! Oh, the logistics of that at this point, :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pink Fairy Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 Every day that you're overdue seems to last forever, doesn't it! Hope today is the day. :grouphug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MamaT Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 My third son was born in June and was 3 weeks late! I can distinctly remember how miserable I was. Hope your little one comes soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thowell Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 Have you tried the figure 8? This helped when dd9 was 5 days late. Just stand with feet a little more than shoulder width apart and rock your hips in a figure 8. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nan in Mass Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 Well, I would offer you hugs, but I suspect in this mugginess they are the last thing you want LOL. It isn't like the thunder showers are making it any better, either. I'll offer juice-pops instead. Do you have one of those make-your-own trays? Lemonade in them is yummy. Hang in there. -Nan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oakblossoms Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 Seriously the um man stuff actually helps open the cervix. Plus, a um ya know can bring on contractions. (I think we need a spoiler button.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Her head is very low and this sounds as if she might pop right out, lol!!! (But I might try it!!). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rfoster Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 No suggestions for you, only my most sincere apologies! I am at 38 weeks and 2 days and I AM LOSING MY MIND! So I can only imagine how you must be feeling! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Osmosis Mom Posted June 5, 2010 Author Share Posted June 5, 2010 Ohh, Rachel... The saddest part is of course that you think you'll go early since baby's head has been engaged forever! So you get your expectations all up. I think my family needs this to get over with so their mother can stop whining (for a while at least!). Keep us updated on your progress. Who knoes, perhaps you'll go before me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmacnchs Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 I'm sooo sorry! btdt All 3 of mine were a week late and I couldn't take it anymore so I was induced all 3 times. Even now, I am planning on when to ask the Dr. to induce - sounds like our babies like our bellies as homes - I choose to take it as a compliment :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rfoster Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 Even now, I am planning on when to ask the Dr. to induce - sounds like our babies like our bellies as homes - I choose to take it as a compliment :D Of course this time I am actually using a birth center and planning on doing this 100% naturally...now I'm beginning to think that was an idiot move. LOL! You know what's even worse? We decided to wait until it was born before we knew if it was a boy or girl. AAAAAAAAAAUGH! Tearing my hair out in anticipation! Don't know about your house, but I'm quite sure that this one is staying put because it wants to delay being around the LOUD siblings all day. :lol: I had some fairly good contractions for all of thursday and now they have just stopped completely. *sigh* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Osmosis Mom Posted June 5, 2010 Author Share Posted June 5, 2010 Rachel, That's my theory as well; that the poor kiddo is scared of all the noise incl. her mother's commanding people around :lol:. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LG Gone Wild Posted June 6, 2010 Share Posted June 6, 2010 Ahem....an "O" helped me...;) I know it's hot but it wouldn't hurt to try! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Robyn Posted June 6, 2010 Share Posted June 6, 2010 I went into labor with my second ds a few hours after crawling through the tubes at the Playstation with my first ds - maybe not as fun for *you* as some of the other suggestions, but if you're really desperate....
