Overdue, I can't due this anymore

[Bluebellevergreen]

Already a week overdue. I can't possibly put into words how I am feeling.
Had an argument with DH (my fault) because I am a fucking nightmate to be around.
I am building so much resentment towards this baby it is unreal.

I didnt want to be induced but I feel that this baby will never come or I will lose the plot completely by then.

I feel so mad at my body and the baby for putting me through this.

I am so angry you wouldnt believe it!

I just want him out of my body NOW

Please don't be worried about an induction. I was induced with DD and it was a lovely experience. So calm and relaxed. I had a sweep and a pessary, then on and off contractions for 22 hours which wasn't that bad. Then all of a sudden it kicked off and she was born 4 hours later.

hope you go into labour soon.

Urgh going overdue can be awful when every morning you wake up and the baby is STILL there. (For some reason I was convinced the baby would come and night and it did).

Plan something that you really want to do/really nice for yourself for a couple of days time and the baby is bound to come beforehand!

Just remember that this won't last for ever - you have managed so well and got this far so whatever happens it will only be a few more days. You can do it!

Good luck and hope that you don't have much longer to wait

badders what?? The hair??? 😳😳😳
fenella ward too full? 🤦🏻‍♀️
I hope you get lucky tomorrow!
notanother I have some capsules but worried if I put them up my foof then midwife sees them on Thursday 😐
Ahhh so even the girl from the video struggled

I am not alone!

I had nice dinner and I think I will sleep tonight, I feel a bit better. It gets harder in the morning.. (groundhog day)

I can totally empathise and I was only just overdue. Every hour feels like an eternity no matter how much your baby is wanted. Hope it happens for you very soon

Yep 😀
She was quite amused she could see his head
He had a shock of black hair though...when he was born he looked like he was wearing a badly fitted toupe 😂

I feel your pain, I am snapping at everyone. I am getting very little sleep, if I am not up to pee my ds who is 2 is waking me and the last few nights dd who is 3. It's just so hard, I have an appointment with my gynae tomorrow and I am going to beg her to bring forward my planned c-section date by a few days. I can't take anymore either. Although I am also really anxious about how I am going to cope with 3. All we can do is take every hour and day as it comes. On my first, baby never engaged they refused to do a sweep because she was still too high ended up being an elective and the cord was around her neck so it was a blessing in disguise that nothing had happened. My point is your body knows what it is doing and when you get your little baby in your arms you will forget the stress of waiting.

It's totally shit you have my sympathy. Dp and I were just watching one born and he said "you were happy in labour weren't you?" Yes I was dear because I was just glad not to be fucking pregnant anymore!!
I've got 4dc 2 inductions and two "natural" labours all were fine. When I went for a sweep for dc4 midwife told me to go home have a big glass of wine, a shag and she would see me later. We did, she didn't!

I feel your pain, I went 15 days overdue with my DD. I was induced at 14 days over, I tried so hard to avoid it, but all I can say is that whilst it took me a while to get to this stage I can now honestly say none of that matters. All that matters is that I did eventually give birth to my lovely DD who is the best thing in the whole world.

I tried absolutely everything from acupuncture to pineapple (don't do the latter it just made me feel sick!) nothing made a difference. I had about 5 or 6 sweeps in the end (it wasn't a very joined up maternity service so no one but me knew how many I'd had!) still nothing. But the induction worked very quickly and I'm pretty sure that if my DD hadn't been back to back it wouldn't have been too bad.

You'll get through this. Take each day as it comes and keep yourself busy.

Blue, no they will have totally dissolved by morning! There will be nothing left :)

Ahhh still no news here. But I feel more calmed today. I have been trying to distract myself and we are going swimming later which always feels nice
But my PGP is so bad the cracking noises too loud

Glad you're feeling calmer today. Take some epo tablets today and shove them up tonight, honestly they will be resolved by morning! And the least they will do is aid induction as they help to ripen the cervix.
Enjoy your swimming later :)

The end is in sight!! A year ago tomorrow I was induced at 41+5. I was exactly the same as you and the PPs. Was just talking to DH about that earlier actually.

It was absolute hell. I was constantly crying/angry/worried. Every twinge I was thinking is this it?! Didn't help my other child was born 2 weeks early so I was wondering what was wrong with me or the baby this time round.

Turns out everything went fine with the induction. I was worrying over nothing. In 2 days we're celebrating her 1st birthday.

Hang in there, won't be long now

I also started mat leave at 33 weeks!

I had terrible antinatal depression with DC2. I felt very unstable and couldn't cope with life AT ALL. I have never suffered from depression before but during the pregnancy I would think of how I would end my life regularly. It was a strange and scary place to be in and I still feel very guilty about those thoughts.

DC2 arrived and I honestly love him with all my being. He is perfect to me. I wouldn't wish him away but if I could go back in time, I would never put myself through it again. That said, I wouldn't be without him now either. It's complicated! But he is very loved. I know what it's like to be overdue (11 days with DC1).

You can and you will get through this. Not long till your precious baby is here. Thinking of you

Wondering whether OP has had her baby? Hope all is well anyway x

Hello!!

pickles no baby yet :-(

This week has been very challenging but the last couple of days I am doing better. Kind of accepted it is not happening and I have been distracting myself and people have stopped texting ALL the time and I have told them not to please.

I had a sweep today, which was brave because I have some issues with that stuff.

Everything crossed it works

41+3 today (40+10)

Only 2 days left

You don't want to bring induction forward to tomorrow do you?

nearly there, nearly there.

random I have a booking on Saturday. Maybe something will happen tomorrow, we shall see. Just living in the moment

Gosh, end of pregnancy/ overdue time is hideous for most. Add in depression and I just think you are being so strong. Its hard when you get a date in your head and its been and gone.

Good luck over the coming days.

Well done with the sweep. I had one both times - first one was very painful and did nothing despite them telling me that it definitely would, second one - I didn't realise midwife had done it and I started mild contractions in the car on the way home and had dd the following day. No doubt about it though - it's a fairly grim business!

Well done for gritting your teeth and getting through your shit! This bodes well for labour 💪. And well done for telling people not to text you asking for news - well meant but annoying at this time!

Good luck Bluebell! X

Have you tried booking a restaurant? Or anything else you really wanted to do?

With my first, my induction was put back a week and it was awful. I'd got the date for it to be over in my head and then... delay. I cried in bed for two days.

My next three were all overdue. It's a horrible time, and I also had SPD/PGP. I've never felt less like a person. I was a pod.

Hope your sweep works OP. They always did for me.

Well done having your sweep, how are you feeling? Got a ball to bounce on?
