You've made me feel much better. We do have an induction plan for 10/19 if the baby should still be too cozy to come out.</p> <p>I just have to remind myself that each little pain is worth it and is leading to the moment where I can finally see this little man.</p> <p>@tequiero21 - Just relax and enjoy your pregnancy. It is really nice in your 2nd trimester and time will fly by until you hit about 36 weeks. Then it seems like EVERYTHING comes to a standstill and the days and nights get really long. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/disappointing-due-date#post-3776 Tue, 11 Oct 2011 22:30:50 +0000 sweetiek 3776@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You're not alone. I had contractions the last 3 weeks or so before I had my son and I was very frustrated. I couldn't believe I could be that uncomfortable for that long, and still not have something happen. But I kept reminding myself even though I wasn't in active labor my body was still preparing for birth which was bringing me closer. I went two days over my due date, but I was happy that I didn't have to be induced because I wanted to avoid that if I could. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/disappointing-due-date#post-3761 Tue, 11 Oct 2011 22:04:39 +0000 twodoghouse 3761@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Aw, I'm sorry bakingabug! I hope your little guy comes soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/disappointing-due-date#post-3750 Tue, 11 Oct 2011 21:55:51 +0000 tequiero21 3750@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>do you have a game plan with your ob? like how far past the due date will you induce? hang in there! you're near the home stretch! i'm only 14 weeks and i'm dying for the time to pass! feel like i've known i was pregnant forever! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/disappointing-due-date#post-3737 Tue, 11 Oct 2011 21:46:46 +0000 Coastinganon 3737@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You're not a monster...the waiting game can be so stressful! Goin past your due date is like when th bus is late...up until it was late, there was at least a deadline and some semblance of control...once the bus is late, there's no telling when it will decide to arrive.</p> <p>Take a deep breath and know you're not alone :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/disappointing-due-date#post-3716 Tue, 11 Oct 2011 21:17:32 +0000 bakingAbug 3716@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Man I feel so grouchy and down in the dumps. I've been in "labor" for a month and the contractions and everything keep getting stronger but are nowhere near where they need to be. No one, including the Doctor, thought I'd make it this far to my due date. Now it's here and the day is almost over and I feel bitter.</p> <p>I joked with a friend that this was my first taste of parental disappointment in my kid but in some way I feel really let down and like a bad mom for even thinking poorly about his late arrival. Has anyone else felt despondent, depressed, upset at going over term? I know it sounds stupid but I kinda feel like I might be angry with the poor baby and he isn't here yet.</p> <p>I'm a monster. </p>
