  • I'm 40 weeks today, and still nothing. Just want to meet the little guy now. Have been trying all sorts to encourage him out, but nothing has worked yet :( xxx
  • My daughter was 6 days late! I really didn't want him to pass 40weeks ... I start to get very emotional. Its now and I can't sleep. I really hope u have him soon. I dnt know about u but I will not miss being preg.!!!!
  • I'm due in 3 days and my cervix is still high and closed. I've done everything too..
  • I'm due Sunday but I'm 3cm and 75% sence last Thursday still nothing i lost my plug and had my bloody show still nothing
  • Have loved every second of it, as it hasn't been a particularly uncomfortable pregnancy etc, but just want it to be over with now. Want to get back to 'normal' and start bringing up our baby. A little impatient, in case you couldn't tell!! ;) fingers crossed he comes soon. Have membrane sweep next week, if he isn't here yet xx
  • I hated being on pregly when I saw all the July mamas giving birth and mines was overdue. You're almost there though. Good luck!
  • Due date is tomorrow, Im anxious and getting a bit depressed. Ive been losing my mucus plug over the last couple weeks, i had bloodshow on Saturday and my Dr said I was 1 1/2 dialated and 70% effaced. Ive been very sore, having loose stools just overall lousy. Im so ready to be done, she needs to come already we are all waiting for her!!! Good luck ladys...
  • I was 39w4d today when I gave birth..... Try ruby red grapefruit juice that really jump started my contractions...... Labor Dust sent your way
  • I feel you I due Sunday and don't see any sign of labor. Had my doc appointment today n social said if he's not here by Tuesday he will be inducing me Tuesday night so I really hope he comes on his own...

  • I'm due today and Monday I was only like a finger dialated. I go back Friday and hopefully am dialated more. I'm thinking the same thing that he doesn't wanna come out I think he's too comfy!

  • sorry ladies i know from exp it sucks to be so close and also how it feels to go over.. so i feel for you.. just know your day is comeing realy soon.. i mean days away for some of you.. i went 10days over with both my boys and praying this lil guy doesnt do the same.. ugh.. but im prepared for the worst.. lol.. i tryed everything and still had to be induced.. these babys can be stuborn
  • My baby came when he was ready. I was 3cm at my appt last Wed and had started losing bits of my mucus plug that Tuesday. I went walking Tues & Wed and bounced on my exercise ball. I had Braxton Hicks all day Thursday, and they were pretty consistent. Once they were 5 min apart for 4 hrs, I went to the hospital. Unfortunately, they checked me & I was still 3cm. The contractions slowed down for the rest of the night. Then Friday a.m. around 3:45, I started feeling mild contractions again, about 10-15 minutes apart. At 7:00, I decided to start timing them. They were 4-5 min apart!

    Just a reminder that your labor can start out of the blue at anytime now! Baby can't stay inside forever. :)
  • Maybe your baby wants to b born August 1st so he/she is waiting lol. That's what I did w my mom ;)
  • Getting really painful aches in my back, accompanied by my stomach tensing up (like with b hicks), and pain near my vajayjay-its happening every ten minutes, and waking me up. Hope it develops into something-what do you reckon? This is my first time, so don't know what to expect? X
  • @samsue86... i would advise the same thing I would be told! Drink lots and lots of water, try taking a bath or a nice hot shower on ur back. Its probably the babys head moving in position. Your body will let u know something more is going on.

    I tried pumping today for a few minutes. That caused a small trigger of contractions but nothing. I'm gonna continue pumping even if it doesn't work! My boobs are dry.. I wonder how some women leak before the baby comes?

    @jay_brad... maybe he would be an aug 1stbaby!!! :)
    I have a docs appntmnt today and I pray there's some exciting news!

    And @ mya218 .... you left me behind! :( we had the same due date!! Babys can stay inside for ever :( :( I swear the longer this baby stays in, the more I become a big baby! Lol

    And to all my july Mamis... I hope we get to see and hold our precious babys very sooooon. May we have safe deliverys! At this point I don't care if I'm in labor for 3 days... as long as we both safe!. ..........(please God don't let me or any of us be in labor for 3 dys) :)
  • Oops!! Correction....@mya218 !
  • I'm still here 40weeks today bad contractions here atm let's hope there the real deal
  • @mlizzy194 Trust me, I know how frustrating it is. My first two babies went past their due date. I wasn't expecting it because all of the other females in my family went to about 38 weeks. I was so anxious and it was KILLING me! With this baby, I wanted him to come before his due date but I wasn't expecting him to. I was very patient and told myself he'd come when he was ready. I'm still in shock that he came at 38+5! Maybe my due date was wrong because he was in the same weight range as my other children and he also had a bowel movement while inside.

    I hope you all will let labor start naturally and not induce (unless medically necessary). It's better for you and the baby if it starts on its own, and it's a joyous experience when you let nature take its course. ;)
  • 40 weeks nada
  • Just got home from the docs.... Im 3cm and 70%.affaced!!! I hope he comes within 24hrs!!
  • All of u mommies.... try the cinnamon teA!!

    Go to produce sec at groc store.. buy a pack of cinnamon sticks($1.29) boil water with 2-3 sticks in it... When water is brownish lookn...drain out only the cinnamon watr(tea) to a cup and add sugar to your taste...
    Do NOt reuse same sticks again for more tea since it looses its flavor the first boiling.
    It is 100% safe and if bby is ready it should bring conttction that day...
    100% SSAFE TO BBY!!
    GOOD LUCK!!
  • Good luck! I was 3cm last Wednesday and had him that Friday morning! Go for a long walk and do some light bouncing on an exercise ball if you have one. I hope baby will be here soon! :D
  • I'm a December 1st baby ;;) good luck dear I hope my little one isn't stubborn !
  • Still here, due date was yesterday. Im 2 cent, 70% effaced. Blah...but good luck my ladies...I say we blame our bd they got us preggo. :b
