A thread for those of us who are overdue...

[BrassHorses]

Hi everyone today I'm 6 days overdue. I have an induction booked for Monday if nothing happens before then but I want a c section- am speaking to a midwife today to see what I'm allowed there.

I'm so fed up now- I've had two failed sweeps and having another one today. I don't feel like anything is happening at all. I'm anxious as each day goes by and I'm getting so many people pestering me every day, including some I haven't spoken to in about two years, asking for news. Seriously what is wrong with people?!

I'm sick of having the same conversations with everyone every single day, people think they're entitled to know every little twinge or part of my medical notes- well bugger off it's nothing to do with you! Feel like people pretend to care when they just want gossip. I didn't realise how stressful it was to be overdue, worrying about everything every day...

Anyway- anyone care to join me?

I'm in the exact same boat! Apart from the induction part. This is my 5th pregnancy, all my children have been induced and so I'm determined this baby will come out on it's own. As time ticks on though things are becoming more painful. I'm still working from home and running round after a toddler.

Have you tried all the old wise tails? I've tried them all and nothing is working for me. Baby is fully engaged, I've lost my plug, but baby has decided to stay in

How were your previous inductions @Don35 ?

My DM is driving me mad, screaming down the phone about how stressed out she is, it's actually appalling. I've told her she isn't helping, she's actually hysterical and making me question and worry about everything. Wish I could block out the world and just get on with this.

My inductions were horrible. But everyone's experiences are different.

Why do DM do it? Some are really supportive, but your sounds like mine. I know they're frustrated that we are overdue, but they could try seeing it from our point of view. My MIL is similar, she has called 5 times today to ask if there is any news. Surely she sound realise that if there was I would tell her. All I'm getting from DM is, well have you tried this, this worked with me so I don't know why it doesn't with you. You obviously aren't doing it properly 🙄 Yes because there is a right and wrong way of drinking rasspberry leaf tea lol.

Maybe our babies have heard them and decided to stay in 😂

Hi. Can I join you? I'm 4 days overdue with my 4th. Feeling OK physically but ohhh the suspense is getting to me! Would just like to have it over and done with - or to know when it's going to happen so I can use my waiting time sensibly rather than being on stand-by....

I’ve finished my packet of raspberry leaf tea. I think the kindle in my Hospital bag probably needs recharging.

And there’s not a twinge. Yeah, i’ve tried everything. My other two were early!

I'm only 3 days over due but fed up of waiting now no sign of baby coming anytime soon either!
