Hi ladies! My due date was yesterday...had my doctors appt but all signs point to me needing an induction (0% effaced, 1 cm dilated, baby sitting high). I have it scheduled for 8/6 when I will be 41w3d....in the meantime I am sooo bored and anxious. This is my first and I'm not working. I'm really nervous about the whole childbirth thing and need something to occupy me. Any thoughts on things I could do in the hot summer and really pregnant? Maybe some prep stuff to get ready for baby? I would LOVE it if he came on his own but doesn't look hopeful! Happy induction stories would be welcome as well

Do some things you won't have time for once the baby arrives - paint your nails, get a haircut, take some nice long baths! Just enjoy the last of your baby free time.

Hmm how about a pedicure??
-
I had an induction scheduled but ended up going into labour naturally at 40w3d. The very last week that I was pregnant, I did a lot of laundry, grocery shopping, got a mani and pedi, and just rested up!
-
relax and maybe treat yourself to a massage or mani/pedi!
-
Mani pedi hair color and cut...dates with dh...clean house...stock your fridge with easy meals for after baby's arrival...read your favorite book...get magazines?... Make a calming cd or iPod playlist to have during labor....enjoy:) time will pass,promise
-
Grooming! Brows, mani, pedi, hair, relaxing, naps, dinner out!

I also had an induction scheduled but my lo came on her own, so you never know! I spent that time doing a lot of walking to try to help speed the process up, and eating lots of crazy food for all of those old wives tales.
I know its hard, but try to relax and enjoy your last baby free moments! Little things like watching tv, eating a meal, etc are things that we take for granted. Go see a movie.

I agree with @autumnlove and @duckduckkristen! Personal hygiene and napping! You could also make some meals to put in your freezer.
-
Thanks for the advice ladies! Ended up going a little earlier than expected, but I was able to make and freeze several meals, which has made this first week a little easier and I still have 5-6 premade dinners left! I highly suggest this to anyone with a little time on their hands before LO comes!
