Aw I'm sorry that you're feeling this way. Just try to stay busy anyway possible so maybe it'll take your mind off thinking about your due date. Just know that before you know it, you're baby will be here and all those anxiety feelings you have now will be gone.

thanks hun. sometimes you just need to hear it from someone else. wow. i've been up since around 3 am. i know that gratitude is the cure for so many things and patience is a virtue. i am glad that things are going well and baby is healthy and that's what i should be focusing on. it's probably a hormonal thing cuz i feel so pms-y. same kind of thing.

there's an absolutely gorgeous sunrise this morning. guess i wouldn't have seen that if i was fast asleep. it's all purple and pink, like the baby outfit i bought if we have a girl, same exact colours. maybe it's a sign.

i was wondering. for the experienced moms, i have heard that it's pretty uncommon to have your water break before going into labour (besides having them ruptured i mean). i was just wondering if it's happened to any of you, where your water broke on it's own before going into active labour. just curious because the pressure is so huge, it makes it seem like it could burst at any moment, lol.

Hey hun!! So sorry your getting frustrated! I know how you feel about just wanting to know when something will happen. I keep thinking at least when I go overdue I will get a date for an induction,dont get me wrong I dont want to be induced,but then at least I will have a date to work towards!!!

Since I have hit 37 weeks the days are dragging.... I am hoping that next week it will pick up again, both my boys will be home all day for summer hols and its Aydans 6th birthday on the 31st so I am really hoping it will all take my mind of the baby! I was lucky with my first I only went to 38 weeks.

With Lucas my 2nd son my waters broke and my labour didnt start. It was a good prgnancy and I dont remember feeling that much discomfort beforehand (not like this one!!). I remember the day before cleaning my carpet on all fours with rubber gloves and a scrubbing brush . Everything felt fine and nothing was out of the ordinary. I woke up the next morning, at exactly 38 weeks and got up to go to the bathroom. By the time I got there I was soaked and there was water everywhere . It was abit of a shock because as I said I hadnt been feeling that bad.
I ended up having to go straight to hospital because I have gbs and had to be induced straight away. Which was a nightmare considering I was going for a vbac and they kept telling me about the difficulties of inducing after c section. Anyways I gave birth to Lucas just in time and I am happy to say it was the most amazing experience of my life!!

I wish I could give you more advice on how to wait it out, but I dont think there is much! I actually found myself looking for ways to naturally induce my labour yesterday! My midwife said it would be alright for 38 weeks onwards because I really dont want to risk an induction again but while I was looking I was pretty surprised to find so many negatives about it. Apparently nipple stimulation isnt such a great way of starting things off! I didnt know that. I ended up feeling guilty as I kept thinking if my baby isnt ready to come out who am I to try and force it??? Guess we cant win!!

If you find a way to pass the time please let in know! I can see me getting to the point where everythime I feel a twinge I think this is it!!

haha. you don't want to know how i'm passing the time. i just finished watching Chicago the movie, which i'm sure i've seen at least twice before, and i had a hamburger steak and iced tea for breakfast. LOL. and it's only 7:40 am!

yeah. insomnia does funny things to me. thanks for the sympathy though, i can always count on you for kind words, lol. anyway, don't feel guilty, if there's one thing i've learned on this forum is that we all go through that impatience. i'm convinced it's a natural, physiological reaction at the end of pregnancy. i hope i can get some rest today. and i hope you find something fun to pass the time. not too much longer anyway. they can't stay in there forever, lol.
