ktgrok Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 Yes, still pregnant. No, no plans on inducing. Had my biophysical profile yesterday and passed with flying colors. Everything is perfect, he just isn't quite ready to come out yet. Also saw the chiropracter, and the midwife. I'm still 3cm, very soft and squishy, very effaced, and baby is well engaged and in a great position. Just waiting. And honestly, I'm in a pretty good mood about it. At this point I know it will be any day,and I get a bit of a kick out of freaking people out when they ask when I'm due :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm hopeful today is the day here - I've been having contractions for a few hours, but they are still pretty spread out and only lasting 45 seconds or so. We're about to leave for the OB's office for my already scheduled appt - I called this morning and they said to come on in and they will check my progress. Thoughts and prayers would be appreciated!

jen3kids Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 I get a bit of a kick out of freaking people out when they ask when I'm due :) I got a kick out of that with my youngest (so many years ago :crying:).... "When are you due?" "Last week." "WHAT!!!????" I was only 4-5 days past my due date Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parrothead Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 I was wondering how you were getting on. I vote we start a pool. I predict you'll go into labor on the 20th at 8:32 am. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan C. Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 She is in a good mood, so not today. :) You have to be in that disgusted, I'm over it mood first, then the long nap, then labor. At least that is how I did it. Happy labors to both of you, and safe healthy births! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mom-ninja. Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 (edited) When I started cleaning the house like mad I knew labor was about to start. My second pg my dh found me scrubbing the baseboards in the bathroom with a toothbrush. He called the midwife. My third time he found me in the bedroom frantically vacuuming the bare mattress. I made him flip it so I could vacuum the other side before putting sheets. As I put sheets on he called the midwife. :D Edited September 18, 2012 by Kleine Hexe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mommymilkies Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 They always come when least expected! I was slightly upset I didn't go overdue with #5. I wanted to enjoy my last pregnancy a little longer. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs. A Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 Can't wait to hear when you finally have this baby! I am 39 weeks and 2 days and when I had my appointment yesterday the midwife seemed shocked that this baby is still hanging around. I felt like asking "what's the rush?- isn't it good to have a fully cooked baby? :lol:) I just smiled and didn't say anything though. Good luck whenever it happens! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soror Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 ktgrok- I think baby is just going to fly out, your body should be really ready :) I went late last time but I'm sure mine was due to poor positioning by the baby, my body kept trying to go into labor but she wasn't engaged well enough. I was not as happy as you :) Truscifi- Good luck- I hope it is your time :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canadianmumof5 Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 Glad you are handling it well! I'm grumpy thinking of the several weeks I still have to go :). Hope it happens soon for you. Me too. At 36 weeks, I am grumpy, grumpy, grumpy. I am praying like mad for this one to be early. Katie - please send the rest of us your positive end of pregnancy vibes. I know I definitely need them!!!! Wishing you a happy labour (especially now that your midwife is back :001_smile:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magic Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 My daughter was 27 days late. Yep, 44 weeks pregnant. I was induced after my due date with all three boys and #3 took two inductions (he was 14 days late). Everyone thought I was crazy but I had daily ultrasounds and fetal monitoring once I hit 42 weeks. The doctor said that as long as she and I were healthy he would let me go until 44 weeks. 1 more day and I would have been induced. When she was born, the nurses kept double checking the checklist that they do to determine age. My doctor and I had to tell them that, yes, we knew how late she was. I so preferred going late to being induced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ktgrok Posted September 18, 2012 Author Share Posted September 18, 2012 If it helps, I was way grumpier a few days ago. Happier now. Probably because I know there isn't much longer :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justLisa Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 OK then I say the 20th born at 1:18pm. That should give you enough time to rest before dinner :D. And post photos. I had an out of state friend over a week late and it was so exciting. She was in an incredibly good mood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleIzumi Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 Go you! I have several friends who were very "overdue"--one of them now only gives her due dates as seasons, lol. All the babies popped out on their own :tongue_smilie:. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tap Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 It is because you are awesome and he knows it. Would you leave a warm cozy water bath of awesomeness! No way! I think you may need to hit the eject button on this one if he doesn't come out soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
