I. CAN'T. TAKE. IT!!

Sorry to be such a whiny baby but I don't think I can take this anymore. I'm due Sunday but I don't think I've made much progess at all. I'm sooooo frustrated that I want to CRY! She just seems so comfortable in there that I don't think she'll ever come out and, horror of all horrors, I'll be pregnant forever. I guess I'm just so anxious to meet her and have her in our arms that I'm becoming VERY impatient! Maybe it's just me being an FTM but I wouldn't know a contraction from gas pains so I guess I'm not having any... so discouraging. I'm ready to just lie in my bed and give up. There's nothing I can do anyway. I've walked, forced myself to have sex everyday, craving spicy food, trying to stay active. I've prayed and prayed and prayed (not saying that that's not working, just maybe right now isn't the time.) I'm becoming depressed with it all. Maybe I'm focusing too much on the due date and not enough on... something else. I don't know, what else should I be focusing on?

Ladies please help me put this in perspective. Any advice, W.O.W (words of wisdom)? Anyone felt like this?

P.S. I don't want it to sound like I'm not happy about having a baby, I really am ecstatic but boy, oh boy, I can't imagine having to wait another two weeks only to be induced. (I plan on going natural, maybe I need to change my plans.) HELP!!

Hun, from what I have heard it's normal to be like this at the end. Try to keep your chin up and before you know it your little bundle of joy will be here.

Thanks, I'll try. *smile*

just wanted to let you know I'm sending prayers and positive thoughts out your way! Not to discourage you but I read somewhere last night that only 5% of babies are born on their due date.

I hope that yours suprises you and comes today!

I know... I guess that's the problem. LOL Today would be okay by me!

I was EXACTLY the same way. I was very anxious when my due date was approaching because I was told he was running two weeks ahead. My due date came and went and even when I started having contractions at 41w1d - my cervix was still 1cm and not progressing at ALL. But I promise you that once you hold her - it is totally worth the wait.

I know it's easier said, but she will be here before you know it!

I'm sure that's getting to me too cuz she's always measured ahead of schedule. Thanks!

well eventually, one way or another, she'll be out.

I never have had any contractions on my own.

my son was born 4 days late, via induction, he was my first born.

good luck!!!!

That is a positive spin on it... One way or another, she'll be out. Thanks!

 When I was about 38 weeks pregnant with my first I was just like you...and boy oh boy did I complain constantly.  One day I was complaining and my 90 year old grandmother said to me..."what's your hurry?  In there, they are so easy to take care of...no changing diapers, feeding at 2 a.m., etc. etc."  I literally wanted to punch her in the face at the time....but once I had the baby I thought...WOW she was right!!  LOL  So, with all of my subsequent pregnancies, I tried to remember her words of wisdom.  I'm not sure it helped..but it was another way of looking at things.  Now, you can punch me in the face if you want to :)  LOL
