Anyone else full term and fed up

[Hwf]

I’m 39+4 and seriously fed up, I’m being induced next week due to GD. Which I really want to avoid and I’m really hoping I can go into labour naturally myself. I would do anything to be in labour right now, I feel a bit selfish for thinking that since I’m not 40 weeks yet but technically baby is fully grown and ready? Baby’s measuring 2 weeks ahead and estimated to weigh just under 9lbs. So if he was to come now I’m sure everything would be okay? (Hopefully) I’m getting lots of twinges in my tummy as well as my back I’m just wishing they would turn into full blown contractions. As silly as it sounds I’m sitting waiting for the pain, I want to feel it.. give me something !!! I’m so ready now. I’m exhausted, can’t keep my eyes open, emotional, wobbling, nauseous, I’m fed up. Baby boy please don’t keep me waiting any longer. Is anyone else on the same boat?

It’s very normal. 39weeks is full term so anytime now is fine. Your body needs oxytocin (happy hormones) to start labour so as hard as it is try to concentrate on feeling happy and relaxed as much as possible. Warm baths, massage, orgasm, comedies, favourite music. Anything that gets you feeling happy. Try not to focus on feeling fed up and the induction date as that will create cortisol which can stop labour. Fingers crossed things kick off for you soon.

Yes I am 40 weeks today! Really hoping baby comes soon 🤞 started to get some pelvic pain the last couple of days which is sooo uncomfortable, sleeping is so difficult now, needing to get up to wee every couple of hours. Trying to stay relaxed and happy, but definitely ready now! I feel the same about labour, not scared at all, instead really looking forward to it starting! I had some very strong braxton hicks last night and got very excited but it didn't progress into anything more. Fingers crossed it happens soon for us both 🤞
