I think its normal to be a little anxious no matter if this is your first pregnancy or your forth! We are only human & every pregnancy/labor is different. No two people experience the same labor they are all unique!
Hope this helps
I agree! I have never been so impatient in my whole life. I thought that once I hit 38 weeks I would start getting anxious but as soon as I hit 33 weeks all I thought about was labor. If I do end up being one of those 42 weekers I might go a little bit insane. Hoenestly.
oh i hear ya! i finished work alot earlier than first planned, so i have been at home for the last 7 weeks of my pregnancy - just...waiting... haha i am on due on monday and am dreading having to wait any longer for my little bundle. But the midwife has booked me in for an induction on Tuesday! (woohoo) so hopefully I wont have to wait much longer! I am not sure why she's planning to induce after only one day - i was under the impression they usually wait around ten days overdue before they induce - hmmmm?? i've had some swelling and excessive weight gain in the last two weeks, do you think it would have something to do with that? i didnt actually ask as i did not think she meant an induction while we were chatting, i only realised afterwards
i cant help but think that i will end up having to be induced again though which i really really dont want to happen. i want it to happen naturally, when she is well and ready! i want to be able to use the birthing centre... the thought of going into a regular birth room scares me. im trying not to think about it, but its so hard!
ahh well.. my next countdown is my next birth centre appointment on monday @ 4.15. so i guess ill focus on that for now! (..and hopefully actually go into labour in the meantime )
elise i missed your post. i also finished up work early (around 28 weeks i think!) i had terrible terrible pain in my pelvis, i could barely stand! now, at 40 weeks, i am able to run up and down steps.. wheres the logic? lol
i was induced @ 14 days over with DD1.. my doctor was happy to leave it for as long as possible, so perhaps your OB does have other concerns? not sure if you've had bub or not by now though!
