past due date ?

edited December 2012 in Pregnant
how far past your due date did you start doing NST in the dr. office? With my last I had one done at 40+0 & then 40+3 then I went into labor that night but I'm assuming I would have gone every there days. Today I am 39+1 & at my appointment the Dr said come back on my due date the 26th so I went to.make the appointment and the nurse said all Dr.s are on vaca next week and the next earliest appointment is Dec 29th 3 days past my due date :( I had my membranes stripped last pregnancy and it worked ( at least I think ) so I was liking forward to getting them stripped today when he asked me if I wanted it done and I said YES! But I really think he just checked to see if I dilated anymore BC I remember the membrane sweep hurting and taking more time than just a check. I left my appointment so disappointed I can't take being pregnant for another week let alone two! I'm really contemplating castor oil :(

  • I went over two weeks with my baby boy.
    Dont try castor oil. U run the risk your baby pooping inside of u n that is not good at all.
    But I do hear that cinnamon tea helps.
  • I'm sorry hun, I had my lo at 38+2 so here is a bump for you.
  • Thanks @trixiesmom8 I'm dying over here lol my son will be one on Sunday and I just never thought I would go past my due date having two babies this,close together and now I'm starting to.feel like I'm going to be pregnant forever!
    @can't_wait93 I don't think I could really ever bring myself to do it :/ I have seriously thought about it though

  • I was due July 6th, 2012 had Rubiya July 18th, 2012 so I went about two weeks exact before she was born. Gave birth regularly... Don't worry yourself your baby knows when it's the right time to come. I was worried my last weeks too even more because of Braxton Hicks.
  • Thanks @homebirthadvocate I asked the nurse when they start nst and she said we won't let you go more than a week.past your edd so you won't have to worry about those. I just found it weird BC I had them early with Grayson. He said I was 1&1/12 cm dilated and a little more than 50% thinned. He was over an hour late with a lot of other ladies waiting so maybe he forgot ?:(

  • Maybe that's why I remember it being so painful last time I was only 1 cm when my last dr. did it I was only 1cm until I was in full blown labor which was 2 days after the sweep I lost my plug 24 hours after the sweep and went into.labor 24 hours after that so I guess I was just hoping the same would happen again lol @homebirthadvocate
