Currently 40 weeks and 5 days... according to my Dr. even though I know when I conceived which would only make me 40 weeks and 1 day, today.
Who else is past their due date and anxiously waiting?
@caligirlatheart, Hopefully that doesn’t happen to you again, and you have a quick and safe delivery.💛
@miaheka - True. But that is the gamble you take. With my 1st I was induced and it lowered her heart rate and my blood pressure dropped and I almost got rushed to get a c-section but Hubby went into prayer mode and it came back up, thank God. But there were other instances where my friends weren't so fortunate.☹
@caligirlatheart, That’s not entirely true. I was induced and I never needed a C-section. As long you progress in your labor whether it’s by induction or not, and baby is in the right position, you won’t need to worry about having an ECS.
@caligirlatheart, I completely understand. I went through the same, and I wasn’t too thrilled with waiting another week either, but it was all worth it in the end. 💛 Have you talked to your doctor about induction if your baby doesn’t plan on coming on it’s own? 🙃
@miaheka - I understand. Placenta starts to deteriorate after 40 weeks (supposedly). I am just tired of being pregnant, not sleeping, nausea, feeling like I need to throw up, peeing 20x's a night, and having random bouts of diarrhea. 🙊😬😷🤢🤮
@caligirlatheart, I was induced at 41+1 day. She recommended it since B. was a week late, and waiting 42 weeks would be too much of a risk.🙃
@caligirlatheart, no, they don’t want me to go any longer past 41 weeks and have to have a c section. My blood pressure was also high today when I went in :(
@first_time_mom_in_ky - What? Do they think you can't birth your 9lb. baby on your own?
@caligirlatheart, my baby ended up being over 9 lbs on ultrasound so I’m being induced tonight! Ahhh
@first_time_mom_in_ky - Anxious is an understatement. I've been bouncing on my birth ball, walking like crazy, eating pineapples and drinking pineapple juice, intercourse, red raspberry leaf tea, etc. He is just NOT ready, I guess.
@mrsskiddish - I am soooooo ready! I need him to come soon before they try to sweep my membranes this Thursday.
@caligirlatheart, 💛💛☺️
