I have told very few ppl when I am acutally 40 weeks, because I want to avoid any sypathetic comments when/if I am "overdue". Baby will come when s/he is ready regardless of the date Seems as soon as you reach 40 weeks everyone EXPECTS your baby to be ready even though we all know this is hardly the case!
Great idea Tanya, I did the same with my last and she cae early hahaha!!! Seems like girls are in the water, is that 4 girls you have??? I just had my third girl!
I can soooooooooooo sympathise with you as I was you four and a half months ago. She was my fifth baby and I hit the 7 days over stage convinced she was stuck in there forever!
She wasnt though and was born on the 8th day. So fingers crossed and legs uncrossed that todays the day!
Must be a surprise going over for your fifth!
But, umm, it will happen.... sorry. Hey, the bloody show means it'll probably be very soon. And if OP's experience is anything to go by, posting a vent like this may be a sign labour is imminent.
Hope it goes well
Big, big hugs!! I went 7 days over with my second and was just about at breaking point, booked myself in for an induction and everything as I was just SO over it... I remember sobbing and yelling at poor DH and DD1 that I just couldn't take it any more, I was in pain, and tired of waiting, and sooo over being so huge... turns out I was in labour already
Sending you heaps of labour vibes, hope it's all over and done with really, really soon so you can relax and meet your new little one and put your feet up and have those precious newborn cuddles! Good luck, vent away, I hope it's not much longer for you!
