I am 38 weeks and im not even dialated...Im sick of being pregnant. Im gonna cry. Ive even had sex quite a bit these past few days and it hasnt done anything...Lol...I have a doctor appointment tomorrow but I dont think he is going to check if im dialated or not because he did it the last 2 times and nothing...I havent even dropped and I thought I had...Is that normal if you havent dropped and you are 38 weeks? Does that mean I wont go into labor until after my due date which is jan. 3?I asked the doctor if he could induce labor before my due date and he says its best to wait until at least 1 week late........Crazy! I'll be pregnant forever!

Oohhhh it's okay. I bet he does check to see if your dilated, and hopefully something has changed. The baby will be here soon---and I know how you feel the waiting is horrible--especially in the end.

I have come to a slump and I cant wait---but I am only 25.3 weeks. So I still have a long way. If I could at least see them on ultra sound I would feel better. I will find help even if I have to go back to the .Er of the hospital that just cancelled my appt.---just to bug them. Lol

God I remeber feeling like that lol. Beleive me your baby will come out, you wont be pregnant forever (even though it might feel like it) just enjoy this time before you baby comes, get some good sleep and relax. Normally they wont induce you untill you are a week late, but not getting induced is kinda good to. From what I have heard the contractions hurt more when you are induced, so hopefully you will go into labor soon :p btw I had my first 6 days late and my second at 38 weeks so you never know. :)

It'll be soon--baby--promise!!(i call all kids baby)

wonderful I am so happy for you maybe it will happen by christmas or the next day--your due the 26th right? It is now the 21st. If you are like I was with first one--i woke up that mornin and felt like my belly was on the floor. Way way low. When I went pee it almost felt like water breaking cuz my bladder was completely squished and I could not feel anything. I was in labor when I awoke and proceeded to the hospital. (2 weeks late)

night before me and husband had sex for hours---he worked out of town for 2 weeks at a time, (2 weeks worth of sex!!! Lol) and I think the sex pushed me into my labor.


Christmas baby would be okay, right?? Symbol of .Jesus birthday. The reason for the season.
