Waking up sad every morning that I didn’t go into labour overnight. So close yet so far...

[Napqueen1234]

Have posted before but still being a whinge bag. 39 weeks now (I know not even overdue) first DC born weeks ago comparatively. I’m just so hormonal, keep crying, getting so frustrated. Went into labour overnight last time so go to bed full of hope and every morning when I wake up (after 5/6 loo visits...) I realise I’m still very pregnant and no sign of it ending.

Any words of encouragement? I’m feeling so low and fed up just want this baby out now! Fed up with the ‘it’ll come when it’s ready’ it’s bloody 90th centile it must be ready and if not I don’t want to be ripped in two when it decides it’s happy to come out!

38 weeks here. DC1 was here at 37. Every at is a litany I constant acute period cramps and strong Braxton-Hicks which are increasingly hurting but few and far between. Want this to end and labour to start. Sympathies to you :/ hope it happens soon for you

Excuse typos. Every day is a litany of constant period cramps I meant

@Thoughtlessinengland I am exactly the same. DD was born 36+4 so being 2 weeks + further on is completely alien to me. Everyone said this one would also be early so just finding it really hard.

It is so frustrating OP, I was expecting to be early and was then induced at 41 weeks so I really do sympathize.

My >95th percentile baby came out at a slender 7lb exactly, she was just extremely long and thin with huge feet!

FWIW, my experience of induction was very positive...

@Napqueen1234 I know exactly what you’re going through- I’m 41+4 now, and due to be induced tomorrow if nothing happens. The last few days have been really hard as my body feels like it should be ready but for whatever reason it isn’t.

I’ve been doing everything under the sun to get this baby moving and despite full contractions (not regular enough though) my waters have not broken. I’m really hoping that tomorrow I have an exam and all they need to do is break the waters and off I go....

Thanks for the replies and best of luck to you both- further on than next and doing brilliantly so well done you not long til baby snuggles now!
