I didn't go into labour with DD1 and I went to 42 weeks and I'm sure it was because of the pressure to go into labour.
My best advice? Turn off the computer. Give your mobile to your DH. Are you scared at all about labouring? I found with DD2 I didn't go into labour until I realised why I was having small panic attacks every night.... I was scared shiatless of going into labour!! I'd never done it before (even though it was my 3rd pregnancy) and I had so many doubts that I could physically do it... and I was just plain scared. As soon as I admitted that to myself - the tears started. I cried and cried and cried - letting it all out.
That was at midnight, and I had my first contraction at 5am.
Do you think there is something mentally blocking you? Perhaps a meditation session to connect your mind and body will help.
Good luck Dusty - it will happen eventually, so don't give up hope - even though I know exactly what you are feeling and its so very hard.
I just want to for Mumma Dusty, she is doing a wonderful job. I say enjoy these last few days being pgy, enjoy all the pampering and attention. Pheonix will definately be here soon.
With one of my pgcy's I was anxious and worried about the date the Dr's were going to give me for my c/s. As soon as they gave me the date, I relaxed and went into labour the next day. So relaxing is definately a way to go. It can really help, move things along.
" I missed your last update hun, I wish you all the best with your appt today hun, and I am so glad your DH is trying to shield you from everything. Just remember its your decision on what you want to do, and dont lose faith in your body" hugs
