Oh no and there's me complaining and I was only due yesterday!
I bet everyone keeps saying oh it'll all be worth it and not long left now, obviously they're right like but its no comfort is it, its just so annoying
I constantly get texts saying is he here yet? That drives me mad, I guess people think I'm not gonna bother telling anyone when he arrives! Everything is driving me insane lately so I really feel your pain!x

That's over 10 days over due? don't they have to induce you by now, or did you prefer to wait and try for the birth you wanted? You really have been patient, I guess you must be sooo cosy in there, or could your dates be a little earlier than really? perhaps you ovulated late or had a longer cycle that month when concieved.
Really hope you pop soon X

Still feeling fed up today. I was dealing with it ok until yesterday, I had a mid afternoon nap as I couldn't keep my eyes open, woke up feeling fed up and can't seem to shake it.
And yes, I'm now totally fed up of people asking for news! I was coping ok with that too until yesterday.
I was prepared for the baby to be late, first babies are more often than not and I knew that. I'm lucky that I've been pretty well during the pregnancy, I've particularly felt ok in the third tri - I've been really tired, but have been really enjoying the fact that my arthritis finally subsided and I've been feeling almost like a normal person for the first time in 10 years!! I've only started being particularly uncomfortable with the pregnancy over the last week. I think I just didn't think it would go on quite this long.
Regarding dates, my initial dates given by the doctor and midwife were the 15th and 17th December, but that's just using the wheel thing they have based on an average length cycle. My cycle is shorter than average at 24 days, so I had calculated a due date of the 11th - but that was just using an online calculator. It was the scan that gave the date as the 8th. We did discuss this with the consultant, and it is in the back of my mind that I may not be over as much as it seems.
I was offered induction on Monday but declined as I want the birth to be as natural as possible, and hopefully drug free. I'm pretty sure the home birth is out of the window now, so am looking at a hospital birth. I'm just desperately hoping that things happen before induction becomes the only option. Baby's health is the main consideration so have to be guided by that.
I suppose I'm also disappointed because this is going to be my only baby and I wanted everything to be perfect as I'm not going to have a second chance.
Sorry for long post

Oh hun it must be so hard for you. You've done your best to have everything the way you planned but if it doesn't happen like that then there's not much else you can do, at least you know you tried your best, the most important thing now is getting bubba out safe and sound and finally being able to enjoy your little family

I really do wish you all the best. I really hope you get your home birth.
In our area they dont induce until day 13 overdue! I asked at my last appointment. Madness!
I hope it goes amazingly for you and you have everythin you wished for in your labour. I really do. I think I'd be going out my head if I were you! Your baby will be here before you know it. X
